Noodling -- rough cut--

SCGoatMan

Here is the link to an idea that's been floating around my hollow head for a little while.

I used the GNX3000 for the drum machine, TWINCHRS and BLUESOLO presets on a Carvin Bolt Kit for the electric parts.

The acoustic guitar part was done by my old (v1.0 software) GSP-21 into the GNX3000 and bypassing all of the GNX's effects. The GSP was only running compression and reverb with a Dean Exotica.

It's a rough draft and my 1st contribution.. enjoy!

Good stuff! It's a really nice melody, and your use of the various technologies is pretty impressive. That's gonna be a great song!

SCGoatMan

Thanks TONS MAN.. I figured I'd get murdered for bringing in \"old\" tech and posting an incomplete song.

Dood...if it sounds good, we don't care if you recorded it on a Victrola. 8) Keep posting!

Like the melody man, very catchy 8)

SCGoatMan

Thanks.. I hope it doesn't get stuck in your head like it has been stuck in mine for a while now.

I'll be able to finish it up as soon as Musician's Friend gets my bass (Dean EXO..blem so it was cheap) to me. I'll be re-recording all of the guitar tracks due to mistakes that I hear.... some people may not hear them but I seem to. By the way, will plugging the bass into the GNX hurt anything?

Is it just me or does it sound like my guitar made a \"door bell\" tone at 1:17 into the song? I swear I got up and checked the door 2 or 3 times before I realized it was in the mix.

OK, I've rattled on enough, I promise not to post when I'm buzzing anymore.

My volume was up full blast and the song is weak. Try adding some compressor to it, and that should help bring up the volume. This is a good start for a nice song. Work out the lead guitar part and pan the parts out individually for a more balanced sound. Great effort so far.

Nice rough cut man!! I dig the backing Rythem!! Sounds real good to me 8) Almost something I would find myself putting down & noodeling over The Lead guitar was O.K. very expressive not sure of a few of the bends? But I like the feel you brought on the Lead!! 8) Keep us updated with the final, or the next cut

SCGoatMan

Thanks for the replys and encouragement. The next cut will have the bass track added (once Musician's Friend sees fit to send the bass) and I've composed a short acoustic outro while waiting for the bass as well.

The lead line isn't set in concrete at all, it will more than likely change and pick up a tapping riff once I get that sorted out.

Were the bends out of pitch? I have a terrible ear so the question is one that I need to ask.

Thanks again.

PS. Rampage I re-mixed and turned all the tracks up so the next cut will be louder for ya.

partch

yeah I was refering to pitch. They may be just fine the way they are? I was just asking more or less if you thought a few of them well realy just the one sounded of just a bit? If not go with it I'm sure no perfect pitch ear guy either The one just kind of stuck out there to me that's all.

Had another listen check at around 1:43-1:45 the others sound pretty much on IMOP

I noticed a couple of bends missed the mark. The one Partch mentioned was out, as were some of the bend and releases you had. Not a big deal at all. Just practice your bends, and you'll be fine.

Overall, I really liked the tune. Great job.

I'm always trying to refine my playing, the bends will work their way higher on the list of things I need work on.

I have a little longer to refine things before my bass shows up, Musicians Friend has once again put it on back order, but this time I cancelled the order and got them to sell me a NEW (not blem) bass for the same price due to the PITA it's been.

Thanks again for the inputs.
