Description:
Hey all.
This is one of my very first songs I wrote back in 1995 in what I called the "Dungeon". A basement where I used to reside at, I included the picture.

I recorded it back in 2000 for a CD with my former partner and it never made it to the final product. I enjoyed it, so I decided to re-record it and share it here. It's still a work in progress. I have specific lyrics that will be on it later, but for now it's just the music.

I'm not to happy with the solo (surprising huh? lol). I may be re-recording it without the wah and re-posting it. I dunno yet. Also, it's kinda late around here, so I ended up mixing in the headphones.

I hope you enjoy it.


BTW: This is my 5th repost in 24 hours. I can't seem to get the solo tone right.
So please bare with me if you commented and then"poof", the tune is gone.
I'm sorry, but I just want to get it right. Special thanks to Harold for the heads up
on the solo tone and Kenta for the first comment yesterday. I appreciate it
guys. LOL I feel sorry for the artist's that have e-mail notification. They
gotta be fed up by now! Again, sorry about that.

Thanks again.

LOL
Finally get to hear this one! I am one of those email notification people. Very sophisticated for an early work. Tone on the solo sounds pretty clear here, but I am not using my headphones so I could have missed the odd crack. Could you play the solo like that in 1995? Very impressive. Looking forward to hearing this with those vocals.

Thanks
Bill

Thanks Bill.
I'm sorry about that. I'm just too picky for my own good.

No, I don't think I could solo like that back then, but I was sure trying too! LOL.

Thanks again for your patience.

Some very
classical chops here with the now Goth field of contemporary expression. Quite now, . Your guitar screams and lays down the lay, but where are the words. Titillating to the audio cortex and moving to the the core of a rock hard being. Man, you are on it.

This is a collectors pieces for me. Will definitely tune in for what's next?

Thanks Richard.
I have the lyrics, but I'm not anywhere that talented to pull it off like I want them. So maybe in the future I can find someone to do it. Thanks again for the very kind words. I appreciate them a lot.

'Not too happy
with the solo' - really! I would be truly ecstatic.
This just sounds totally fantastic to me - wonderful. Doesn't even need vocals. Downloaded. Thanks.
Cheers
Len

Wow!
Thanks Len. I'm happy you downloaded it. I guess I'm just to much of a perfectionist when it comes to soloing. I'm trying to let go a little, but find it a bit hard at times.

Thanks again for the kind words.

I actually wanted the solo faster if you can believe it.

Hopefully soon on the lyrics.

Thanks again.

cool
man, you have some of the tightest guitar rhythm going.

the wah is cool but i'm not sure if you need it. maybe some harmony lead as an option. just a thought.

Thanks Vic.
I was actually considering the harmony thing. Hmmm, maybe I'll give it a shot on a different version or something.

Thanks again for the comment.

Nice,
very nice.

I think the problem is not with the wah, per se. Rather, when the solo arrives, it is very much 'coming out of nowhere'....try putting the lyrics in place and playing round them as the song develops (even if you're not going to print the vocal). Just a lick here and there will both get over this and build anticipation as well.
Incredibly tight rhythm.

That's it
Now that's what I would call Heavy Metal. Love the faith chorus in the backround. Love it! Great texturing.

Thanks John.
It was my very first time I tried writing a neo-classical rock tune. I have complete lyrics for it, I'll probably be asking Allen Dean to record the tracks. I think his range would be perfect.

Thanks again for the listen and comment, I appreciate it.
