I think this has potential Yeah, I hope so. It's just a start. Figured I'd get my feet wet with posting here. Recorded it about two months after having gotten reacquainted with the guitar after a 20+ year hiatus. Been having a lot of fun with it and GB. Thanks for taking the time to comment/vote.

Smooth classy jam! Hey, Nice work!! I see alot of possibilities with this piece. I can't wait to hear the finished product. P.S. Copyright it before Santana hears it. |

Smooth classy jam! Thanks for listening and the comment/vote. I guess it wasn't half bad if you caught the Santana influence. He is one of my favorites. Hopefully I haven't subconciously stolen any of his copyrighted material. Check out my latest song called Bounce Buffet w/ Hectorious

Extra nice lead guitar playing. At first I liked the tone, but after a while I wanted to hear more frequencies... it sounds thin. Not sure how to describe it, but a fuller sound would have been cool. You ought to post more stuff! --D Check out my latest song called Machine Man (w Beastie Boys)

Extra nice lead I agree the tone is a somewhat lacking, and I honestly have had a similar reaction to it. I like the raw feel the lead has and decided to post it as is, but I do wish the overall guitar sound was better. I'm working on achieving a better tone and will try to realize it in the final version. Thanks for the constructive criticism, and for having taken the time to listen and comment.

Rock out! I will keep in on rockin. Wish I had a choice, but I don't think I do. Jams with vocals are in the pipeline. I don't have much of voice but since I don't have anyone else to sing my tunes I guess I'll have to sing them myself. Thanks for the kinds words and for taking the time to listen.

Lead with soul There's a lot of rhythms in the backing part. In addition to the drums there is a bass line, a right channel elec/ acoustic, and a left channel chorus. I think there is room for all those parts, but having so much separation is a little distracting. You might consider finding a tone for the right channel that is closer to the bass to blend them a little more smoothly and allowing the left channel to bleed across the middle a little bit. I do like the tone on the lead and you squeeze some interesting and expressive phrases and runs out of it. Just a little more variation and accents from the drums would highten all that expression even more. Good stuff! I'd like to hear the extended version!

Lead with soul Thanks for the critique. The mix is definitely simplistic. I'll keep your suggestions in mind when I attempt a final version. In pursuit of the ever elusive superior tone I just picked up a PODxt Live. Loaded with tone, to say the least. Hopefully I can coax something compelling out of it for this tune. Thanks again for taking the time. Check out my latest song called Bounce Buffet w/ Hectorious

The joy of making music Its good to hear such joy of making music. It sounds to me like you enjoy this much (as i do too) and it pours out when you play. You should go ahead and give us more to listen to. If I should say something constructive about the piece it would just be to keep in mind that more is more... Simple hook lines can give the listener something to hold on to and will keep the piece together and remember.. breathe in, breathe out;) Play on:) Check out my latest song called Don't tell me what I can't w/KTB and Ingve

The joy of making music You hit the nail on the head. Was just rediscovering the guitar and encountered Garageband as well. The combination was an absolute rush to me, a real joy. Will keep your suggestions in mind for the next go round. Check out my latest song called Bounce Buffet w/ Hectorious

Workflow? Your process is messy. Got to be an easier way. What you trying to do? Why run it through more apps than I have had girlfriends? I prefer emotion to skill any day, but then that's because I have none of the second. Love everything but the way it just cuts off. And that it need words, but that is my bias.

Workflow? It is rather tortured, isn't it? First, I was trying to unload the CPU (this was done before GB2 and the track locking feature). Then, with the compression, trying to make it sound fuller, and set it up to get louder. Audacity can't read the AIFF file output from GB so I had to export it from QT. Audacity allows me to pump it up without clipping. I'm sure there's a less painful procedure but I have a penchant for punishment. I like lyrics too, but my voice is less than appealing. There'll be a follow up version, hopefully with a better ending and some vocals. Thanks for the listen and comment, and glad you enjoyed most of it.

The sprinklers have turned on YOU just played the living bjeezus outta that guitar of yours. It shouldn't be any goog anymore. That was some mighty fine playing. Sure, things were'nt perfect, but you know this by now - However, I can't believe that no one mentioned the pure raging ball of fire that roared here... Your playing was absolutely stunning! It really did take my good breath away... Seriously, that was quite the outrageous showcasing... Looking forward to more Dion Check out my latest song called 123 iGetU

Please, sir, may I have more? I am in agreement with many of these comments that say that this is a great re-introduction to your guitar, and that the obvious course of action is to keep writing, recording, and posting. Give us all the treat of seeing you progress. Your desire to play, combined with learning as you go, will take you a long way. Give us another one. Give us lots of other ones. I'll be watching...

It's a Cool Thing I'm very much a believer that emotion is more important than skill but that's not to say anything negative about your moves. I thought the changes were cool and the way you drive them with the lead is happening. Nothing to say about the ending as it's still a draft. The bass was kind of spooky in the soundfield. Dunno if I'd keep it that way. It'll be interesting to hear how this grows. P.S. I thought the tone of the guitar was very pretty. Is that amped or software?

It's a Cool Thing No amp, and I guess it's software if the firmware in a Zoom GFX5 counts. Might have added a little something extra in GB too. I've since moved on to a PODxt Live. The bass is a bit out there. It's not a real bass, just a pitch shifted guitar. My daughter always said it didn't quite fit. Thanks for taking the time to listen and for the critique. Much appreciated. Check out my latest song called Bounce Buffet w/ Hectorious
