If that's all really you, your a jaw droper. Definitely have
something on a parallel to whats made the big time.
There are only a couple of others here which are to the
calibur of where your coming in. You deffinently have
done some home work on all around composition.
Excellent execution on bass, rhythem guitar, smoken
durms and that up shift in overdrive a 2:07 did a real
smile for what is enjoyable in this genre for me.

Had to have a down load of this one. Hope you'll stay
tuned to this site before, if you already haven't, do the
real road thing. What's, or when's, the next one?????

Thanks. I do appreciate it. Yeah...all sounds & noises are me ;-)

I've done the road thing and will probably go out again pretty soon. This is from the next CD which will be a combo of instrumental and vocal. I have another song up now called "LedFoot" which is a jazz fusion piece I composed using only vsti's. I'll have some more stuff up later today for people to check out. I just love the over the top guitar stuff though......it's so much fun

Thank you for the kind words. The mix is still in "production demo" status. I know it needs some work but I thought people might like to hear the tune anyway. Thanks again.

Tour de force &mdash 02/26/05 - 08:33:03 AM
Great sense of melody and improvisational explosions,
perfectly balanced. Wonderful switching of amp and
styles, really nice articulations and spectacular runs. Nice
variations at the ends of phrases. A Tour de force!

Thank you. It's just a lot of fun for me to be able to play this kind of material but it's really rewarding when it's appreciated.

excellent &mdash 02/26/05 - 09:15:46 AM
I'm not usually drawn to this genre, but can recognize a
good, well-performed tune when I hear one. And THIS IS
IT.

Wonderfully inventive, blazing guitar licks, great sense of
improvisation. Like a heavy metal Mozart!

Some minor adjustments to the mix might indeed be in
order, but I already like the way each element is balanced
here; each sound is clear and doesn't bleed over into the
next.

Great track. Great performance!

Thank you. I agree, the mix definitely needs some work but this is still in the "production demo" stage. It's nice to know that the mixes aren't that far off. ;-)
It's very cool to have this kind of response for this particular type of material. I'm really glad that you enjoyed it.

great playing &mdash 02/26/05 - 02:54:23 PM
You've got an impressive talent on those instruments. Making all those performances come togeather into a piece of music that sounds like it was played by a complete band by yourself can't be easy. Rock on!

great playing &mdash 02/26/05 - 10:30:24 PM
Thank you for the kind words. I greatly appreciate it. To me, one of the greatest challenges is making all of this digital technology work in such a way as to give people the feel of a live performance...a human performance. Music is all about emotion. Without that, it's just mental white noise.
Thanks again for your support.

musicianship. You should be proud of yourself. I'm a fan.

Although there are lots of rock guitarists on MJ, your
moves are the best I've heard thus far.

Spin my head. Make me feel like a rock star by just
listening. Grind out... like electricity turning into the mind
of god between the electrodes. Churn it out... and I don't
even have to buy a ticket!

The man has chops, yes he has.

Are you, or were you ever, Steve Morse's stunt double?

Years ago I opened for Mr. Morse (and his work with the Dregs was definitely an inspiration to say the least) but I never got the chance to be his stunt double. ;-)
Thanks for the comments and I'm glad that you enjoyed the song.

Great work &mdash 04/05/05 - 11:15:19 AM
The best guitar work I've heard on Mac Jams so far. Very clean playing. I especially enjoyed the short breakdown in the middle of the song. Dynamics are always a plus. I'm impressed and although I'd really enjoy some classic metal vocals on this one, It was a very enjoyable listen.

Kickin' It &mdash 04/07/05 - 05:38:41 PM
Absolutely rocks. I really do hope music is paying the
bills for you. If not, that's a travesty. If you're ever on the
road in the Miami area, please indicate as such in the
forums. I'm currently on a business trip in Long Beach,
CA and heading out the door to see Satriani in Anaheim.
Listening to your tune was an excellent appetizer.
