Nicely done.
We detect some tempo inconsistencies in the syncing of either the RTs or the solo.
Is this correct?

PS: which RTs did you use? It's a custom on the forum to post the list of RTs used.


Hi Rob and Anne-Marie,
thanks for your kind words.
Well, it's the very first time that this sort of thing happened to me.

A melody, which I'm more than sure I've never heard before.

While practicing with the e-guitar, I come to this 'riff' more than one time. It was still incomplete.

The next morning I wake up with the complete melody playing in my head and to better remember it, I've done a raw recording using my voice and a smartphone. The same night I practiced again with this melody, and I came up with the chords, so I did just a take - andt hat explains some tempo inconsistencies in the syncing of the solo, as well as some note 'out of the range' - and some day ago I decided to 'publish' it on soundcloud.

Yesterday night I've read your comment, and could not believe it ! "My" melody is very closed to a song from Jonathan Richman & the Modern Lovers, called "Egyptian Reggae".

How could this have happened !?

I must have heard that song during an 'inconscious' status. But I must confess, I don't recall that I've ever known about the above band, nor I did a search of this song in the past - I checked even the browser history to be sure.

May be it was a soundtrack in a movie I've watched, but once again it makes me skeptical, since I don't watch tv.

It's all very strange, but in some way fascinating too.

Anyway, the style used is called 'crossover', and I'll post more info about the instruments as soon as I can :-)

Thanks for listening by the way !
