Brought up the tempo a bit on this song. This is more experimentation with guitar and synths. The bike in the picture in Soundcloud is my brother. He spends the winters cruising the El Centro California area while I am up here in Northern Canada shoveling snow. :-)

Guitar was a Les Paul, Two amps one through a pedal board the other amp dry and blended together.

Synths
Presonus Presence
Arturia Analog Lab V

Exported the Realdrum Chart to midi and accented with Presonus Impact

Also just wanted to note how good the 2022 version of BIAB is. The DAW plugin works so good with Studio One.
Well done PG Music. You hit the ball out of the park with this version..

I like anything with the Stones in it. Great guitar playing. You've actually captured what riding a bike through the El Centro California area would sound like to me.

Good one.

Nice instrumental, Scott, I like the theme you came up with. Also like the synth work, very effective.

Enjoyed!

We have had quite a bit more snow than normal here also this year. My shovel has been getting a workout!

Scott,

A great sounding instrumental. Nice playing.

Good mix. Cool pumpin' Bass.

That's a great idea to export the RealDrum MIDI and use Impact with it...

Nice!

Nice arrangement & production... The guitar sounds are very cool.
Good one...

Scott, I like the different guitar textures you have going on here! The song lends itself to imagine wide open spaces presented in the SC pic! Nice mix with a pretty flowing melody! Thanks, Torrey

Scott...really liked the style and texture of this piece...it certainly had a California vibe to it...you (of coarse) are always exceptional on your leads and the sound that you got from the double amps is great...I love listening to your songs!

Scott

This one sounds very good. Really nice work on all the elements.

One of your best instrumentals.

Peter

The change is guitar voice is cool though the 2nd seemed a fair bit louder than the 1st.
You've an easily recognized style Scott...a more relaxed Hank B Marvin?

Nice instrumental, Scott. Interesting and well played throughout. Really enjoyed it.
Regards,
Leon

Hi Scott,

This is a cool rocker you've made! In a certain way the Californian version of Rawhide (just kidding...).
Very nice rhythm and cool use of the synth. And of course your so recognizable lead guitar. No doubt it is Scottish!

Nice day,
Hans

Haha. My brother plays Winter golf in Florida while I enjoy the changing seasons in the north. I like the bike. YES!! I really like your guitar/synth experiment, Scott. Man, I'd love your guitars anywhere and with anyone. Very creative and smooth.

Thanks Sean. Really appreciate the comments. Glad you liked the song.



Thanks Dave for checking out the song. My brother had been posting pictures and videos with his gopro camera of his rides through the mountains and desert in Southern California. Was trying to whip up some copyright free songs for him. Was a little fun turning up the gain for a bit. :-)..

Hello Scott
Cool song
Has a really good sound
Great guitar work
very good use of BiaB
Well done Scott
Many greetings
Andi ;-)

Thanks Floyd for the comments on the mix. Really appreciate them. Glad you liked the song..




Thanks for checking out the song. Glad you liked it..

All those open fifths gives it a Western flavor - perfect for rolling along through heat of Southern California.

I like it - the change near the end worked really well.

Very cool production Scott!
The guitar is great.
Enjoyed.

Rob and Anne-Marie

Thanks Torrey. Glad you liked the song. Your comments are very much appreciated.




Thanks for checking out the song. Glad you liked it..

A nice ride!
Enjoyed that.
The wide open sound of Western landscapes is one of my favorite musical feels.

Hi Scott C,

It's a very nice instrumental composition that you offer us. I love the sound of your solo guitar that makes me dream of wide open spaces and the musical notes associated with them. I appreciated. Well done. thank for the sharing.

Best regard

Well we have to pedal our bikes but we can certainly appreciate that nice and open and flowy vibe.

Makes us want to head out on an adventure!

Those stonez RT's and your Les Paul are hittin' the note. REALLY good.

Great drums too Scott.

Excellent!

J&B

Thanks Peter for checking out the song. Really appreciate your comments. Glad you liked the song.



Thanks Ray. Yes the middle section was a little louder. Bit more compression in that section due to me playing with the gain on the amps. Glad you liked the song.

Groovy and laid back. I like whatever that rhythmic sound is that comes in around :40 (and later). Another nice one, Scott.

Good stuff! I like the guitar sound you got. I’ve never tried a two amp setup myself. It sounds interesting

Good job! Not exactly my style, but who cares about that. The performance is great, the writing is great ... enjoyed it, it's good to broaden my mind every now and then, haha. Especially when it's this well done. Congrats :-)

Thanks Leon. Glad you liked the song. Appreciate the comments



Thanks Hans. Glad you liked the song. Appreciate the comments.



Thanks Marty A couple of years ago went down and spent sometime cruising the country side. The desert is such a beautiful place in the spring. Glad you liked the song.

A really neat instrumental.

Great work on the axe, comes through really clean.

Nice mix, and the rhythm section sits perfectly.

Hi Scott.

This is my kind of easy-listening music. You've done a really great job. You've created a great melody and your arrangement of it is awesome!

It's an easy and confident two thumbs up from me.

Love it!

All the best,
Noel

Thanks for checking out the song Andi. Appreciate the comments. Glad you liked it.



Thanks David. Thanks for checking out the song. Glad you liked it.

Brother goes in style, eh, Scott?
Yeah but think of all that awesome music that wouldn't be getting made! Classic 80's vocal rips.

Super groove.

Outstanding guitar chops.

What's not to like?

Two thumbs up

Excellent choice of acoustic and electric instruments, synths work very well. And the guitar playing is the cherry on the cake, such a beautiful melody, could be from an 80's cruising movie.

Janne

Thanks Rob and Anne-Marie. Really appreciate the comments. Glad you liked the song.



Thanks Mark for checking out the song. Glad you liked it.



Thanks Jani for checking out the song. Glad you liked it.

Scott,

Nice sound!
The usage of the guitar with two different characters is wonderful.
I agree with floyd, that's a great idea to export the Realdrum Chart to midi and accented with Presonus Impact.
Enjoyed my listen a lot.

Best regards.

Shigeki Adachi

I like that.
Of course I'm a guitar guy so, why wouldn't I!

It's got a bit of a spaghetti westerns vibe but, with a fresh modern twist.
The art work fits the music well.

Thanks Janice and Bud for checking out the song. I found the new 2022 RT to be my favorite version upgrade. Will be using them lots. Your comments are very much appreciated and glad you liked the song.



Thanks Scott for checking out the song. The rhythm track that coming is at 40 is done with a Minilab II and Arturia Lab V. It is an arpeggio pattern played across the chords in the song.

Thanks for checking out the song. Glad you liked it



Thanks James for checking out the song. Nice thing about the forum as there are lots of different music genres. One can appreciate how much work goes into these song creations. Glad you like the song.

So good to hear from you Noel. Really glad you liked the song.



Thanks Ed. Yes that is his baby. He loves to ride year round. Wintering in California allows him to do that. Glad you like his song.



Thanks Mario Thanks for the awesome comments. Glad you liked the song.



Thanks Janne for checking out the song. Glad you liked it.
