Wow!
Any cobwebs I may have had in my brain have been thoroughly swept away!
Awesome track Z:)
The synths under that FAB guitar and the Drums all gell together so brilliantly.. Very Floydesque in places.. and Totally thrilling to listen to with my speakers on so loud its Rocking my house!
Great production and arrangement.

Pristine mix
The clarity in this mix is exceptional.
Awesome guitar sound.... your tone, phrasing and chops are excellent,
The song itself is very imaginative and well written. I enjoyed the variety of textures and the effective use of space in the breakdown before the solo enters.
Solo is exceptionally played. very clean and tasteful phrasing with chops that demonstrate that you are on a level with such luminaries as Satch, Vai & Petrucci

Thanks So Much
Norman, you're too kind. I believe a lot of the clarity I've been able to get lately comes from the BDF drums. I can't say enough about that software.

Another one...
...that I wish I could vote on...

I love the interplay of the drums and the guitar...I could imagine that a very good drummer was playing with you and responding to what you were doing...and at the break, the bass tone is remarkable for having both depth and clarity...

Main attraction, of course, is the guitar...

Thanks Ed
I used to actually play bass but I just can't get the sound I wantt so I've fallen back on MIDI bass for now, plus the fact that I really could not play the bass that well.

Thanks KTB
I hate to sound like a broken record but once again it all has to do with BDF drums lately. I love the way they sound and it has inspired my playing. And I also picked up a Boss GT-8 that I feel has helped my sound, thanks to Chris at Pick Quick Records.

Great rocker!
love the break to the groovy bass, and the way you bleed the guitars back in. Nice kit, too.

Dude!
We have to collab!! I love your sound. It's obvious that we have a lot of the same influences. I really love your stuff and this is the best thing I've heard from you to date. Why I haven't added you as a fave I have no idea but I'm doing it now. Seriously, let's work on something together. Tell me more about the GT-8. I like the sound. I have a few Boss pedals but that one sounds like a good one.

GT-8
Thanks Glenn, If you want to hear someone use the GT-8 nicely check out MacJams' pickquickrecords. I'm still new to the GT-8, it seems to be a great addition but it does have a ton of parameters that can be adjusted to tweak the sound, maybe too many. I'm not much of a song writer and this summer is going to be a busy one but I'll keep a collab in mind if you have anything or if I ever get to work on something new.

Glad You Could Stop By
This morning. The production is starting to rob from my playing time, but I love to tweak the mixes. Mixing the next Slingers track??? I don't know I need to apply all my effort to my guitar when I'm playing with the big boys, but hey you never know.

YYAAA!!!
I see the GT-8 is working well! Totaly smoking!! I hope you enjoy it as much as I enjoy hearing you play it. Fit's you like a glove. Favin'

BTW, You should be "transfered" more often!
Z293 said 904 days ago (June 5th, 2007)
Thanks Chris
I wanted the GT-8 to sound good for my first submitted song using it to live up to your recommendation. I'm still tweaking but I do love it so far.

Well Done Z
Great sound and interesting guitar work.

Production is very special. I have a GT-6, but it doesn't have the wah-wah tones you are getting here.

Great job.

Great sounds
Dude, you are getting some great sounds from that guitar. Not sure how you are doing it, but possibly it comes from your fingers!! Love that bass groove.
