I'm Back

After a couple of months of not playing music due to circumstances beyond my control I just thought it is time to have some fun. This is just me jamming on my guitar with Band-in-a-Box.

I hope you enjoy it for what it is.

BiaB style = Bushwick MIDI SW Smooth Funk

Deleted guitar and strings

Bass- Ample Bass-Yin Yang - Slap bass - effects = Presonus Pro EO, and compression

Drums - Addictive Drums - Mr Funker - effects - Waves CLA drums

Piano - Kontakt Library - upright piano - effects = Waves JJP keys and strings

I played the brass via my keyboard controller using Kontakt - Megabrass (3rd party patch) - no effects

I also played my jazz box guitar - effects Presonus compression and BlueCat ReGuitar.


My goal this weekend is to move just enough each day so that no one pokes me to see if I'm dead or not.

Cool song with some cool licks Mario! That section at around 1:45 was my favorite. Good spread in the mix! Fun song! Thanks, Torrey

Hey, this is really great Mario.

Boy, I'm glad you're back, in more ways than one, too.

I like the vibe you got going through the song. A great jazz fusion funk feel. Nice one.

Man, production wise you used a little bit of a lot! Makes my head
spin thinking about how to produce something like this.

Love that funky bass and your guitar is superb.

And a great mix also.

Welcome back,

J&B

Good to have you back, Mario! I really like the track... it is funky and engaging!

Don't react to those people who wants to "help" you go viral (in the comments on SoundCloud) - they are scammers... if people like your music it will go viral by itself! smile

Very good funk for a comeback song smile Chording is warm-hearted. Nice guitar playing and the dialog between piano and brass is very enjoyable. Nice mix also, especially the brass has magical smooth sound.

Thanx so much for listening and commenting. I did have fun doing this one.

Thanx Marty. That bass groove is strictly from the style. The only thing that I did was to pick the bass sound.
