Description

As an introduction - MasonAtom is the guitarist/bassist for Tiny_Man_Inside.

This was a spur of the moment recording - mostly slide guitar on an acoustic. Much different than the TMI stuff, obviously.

The performance is completely improvised from start to finish. It is sloppy and contains several timing errors, but I like the feel quite a lot. I'm interested in mayb turning this into a song if anyone out there is willing to put down vocals... would need to add drums in places too....

thanks!
honestly, when I played it back I was pretty much amazed at the sound. I ran the mic through a JoeMeek channel strip - my first time using outboard compression and EQ while recording... and the sound just jumped out. The room sound is pretty good too, although I did tweak it just a tad with Amplitube 2. Can't wait to work on this more.

	Great job Sounds great on the slide guitar work, throwing in some power chords would make it kick a little more, maybe a nice breakdown with a bridge! Check out my latest song called Rain/collab with Cellar

thanks
yeah, this is really just a draft right now. As I said, it was an improv recording, so there is not much structure now, although I am planning on developing it more. I have a few ideas for added changes, but I don't want to get too complicated - might take away from the feel.

sweet... and more amazing to know this was an improv. The EQ on this is pretty good, but probably could use a little tweaking... I don't know what exactly is bothering me, but there seem to be a couple of warm reverb peaks that give a kind of midrange and tinny boominess, I think... not sure. But otherwise, this is a very cool slinky piece of slide blues, well played!
ttfn,

thanks Drak!
yeah, I know what you mean about the guitar tone. It is very close to what I want, but still needs a little bit of EQ'ing in places.

Again, I posted this more as a reference point for something that could turn into a complete song w/ vocals, rather than a finished project.

Nice slide, nice improv
I come over here from the "improv" thread. I love slide guitar, acoustic or otherwise. Great work. I wish I could play slide but I haven't gotten there yet. If you ever like slide gone heavy like Bad Seamstress Blues by Cinderella album or No Way Out by Tesla, I'd enjoy working the possibilities with you. Though today I might do something fatter and more modern. I'm thinking Mud-Slide, like Alice in Chains in the back and the blues slide up front. Actually give me a banjo and a slide guitar both. Slide was born to rock (IMO). Awesome.
