Wow, you really did a great job here! I like the reggae vibe, and how well it melds with the electric guitars. It's a combination you don't hear too often, and you nailed it here. The mix is nearly perfect too - all the levels are excellent, and the panning and arrangement is superb too.

Wouldn't change a thing - thanks for sharing smile


Cheers,
Deryk

Nice performance, arrangement and mix.

Yep, Biab is even more fun when you explore genres. We used and much like those reggae tracks. You made great use of them.

Kudos!

Hello Guitartist!

Somehow I missed this one. Glad I ran crossed it, finally!

Very nicely done. The stacked guitar lines are in perfect unison - much as a well-rehearsed choir. It's a nice blend of genres, reggae being the more dominant. Smooth as silk and equally kind to the ears. That was a real sweet listen. Wishing you the very best.

Also, I noticed you're from Maine. When I lived in D.C., back in the middle 60s, I dated a real nice young lady from Lewiston - then Vietnam showed up. Dang!

Alan

Thank you, Alan! Yes, I was going for a guitar choir type of sound.

How amazing that you should mention Lewiston, Maine. That's my hometown! I was in junior high around the mid 60's. I moved down to southern Maine following a stint in the USAF.

I've checked out your website and am very impressed with the variety and quality of your music. People like you, Floyd Jane, Janice & Bud, etc. raise the bar for the rest of us.

Yes, what a coincidence! Her name was Daniella (Danni) Schofield. She worked at one of the federal offices in D.C. - not sure which one. I was stationed at Fort Belvoir, Virginia at the time (1965 and 1966), 9 miles out of D. C.. I never got to Lewiston, but many years later, I did go to Portland. When I lived in St. Louis (my hometown), my neighbor was from St. David, Maine - right on the Canadian border. Given that my last name is David, that was an easy one to remember. She said the northern fence line of their property was right on the border.

Also, thank you for the kind words about our website and music. We truly appreciate that. My wife, who did all the female vocals, is significantly disabled and now in very poor health. She rarely sings anymore as she no longer has the strength or lung capacity. She and I have both liked almost all genres of music, we determine what to write and record based on two things: 1. A submission opportunity or 2. Whatever feels good at the moment.

Hope you post some tunes - I really enjoyed this one. Wishing you well,

Alan

Guitartist. I really have enjoyed this piece. Matter of fact, I just listened for the third times. It just has a really feel good sort of vibe. The guitar quartet almost makes me think you could get a way with emulating backup vocals with that technique. As well as you play you could pull it off, I think. Good job all round.

Thank you, guitar1! I'm glad you like my tune.

I must say, your idea about emulating back-up vocals with guitars intrigues me. Perhaps with a vocorder and/or wah-wah? I've never thought about that. I think I'll have to give it a try!
