Sounds good. Nice progression and mix. Agree it has a soundtrack feel.
Again well done getting the best out of your studio guitarist.

Hi Peter,

Thank you very much! I don't do a very much lead guitar these days as my Focal Dystonia (makes my fingers curl inward and then get very stiff) is advancing at a rapid pace. However, I plan to do a video sometime between August and the end of the year with me playing "live" - live, as in my residence.

Thanks again. Glad it sounded good to you!

Alan

Hi Alan,

I like this. It sounds like the background music for an action or driving scene from one of those cop shows from the 70s... 'Starsky and Hutch' was the first that came to mind.

Best wishes to both you and Di smile

Enjoyed the arrangement and the selection real tracks to put this together. I liked the interesting progression, especially like the way you inserted the stop towards the end so that the guitar solo. Thanks for sharing!!

Brilliant it does sound like the old cop shop programmes we had back then, Although in some ways it seems relevant to present time in its own way.


There is something, but I just cant put my finger on it at the Moment.

This is so good Alan. Tone and phrasing were just excellent. Guitar was just screaming. My kind of tune. Well done

What a jam! As others mentioned, you nailed the usage of these RealTracks. The tune sounds larger than life, and has an epic sort of feel to it as well. Very reminiscent of the rock tunes you'd hear in the mid 70's.

Great work on this one, and thanks for sharing smile


Cheers,
Deryk

Vocal control, you say. Never heard of it. Is that some kind of ProTools thing?

Thanks, Floyd. BIAB gets most of the credit - just plugged in a few chords and instruments. Brent and the band took it from there. Appreciate the nice words!

Tano,

Many thanks for the really nice words. As I told Floyd, BIAB deserves a lot more credit than I do. Appreciate your visit and comments.
