This is my Rock-Pop contribution to the Xtra Styles competition (content copied from the original post). WrongI used the _ALAMO style which is a great Texas Rock/Pop style with nice chimey guitars. Once again BIAB came up with the goods and let me concentrate on getting the idea down before it was forgotten. I added the vocals and the guitar solo at the end afterwards. I was trying to get a Tom Scholz sound on the solo – took a lot of tweaking before I found a sound that was even close. His sound is still unique even after all these years! ****** Song Summary ************* Title: Wrong File:Wrong (Alamo Xtra).SGU Key=C , Tempo 100 8 bar intro, 24 bar chorus, from bar 9 to bar 32. Repeat x2 choruses, tag ending, after bar 32 Style is _ALAMO.STY (Alamo Texas Pop Rock w Piano) RealTracks in style: 2260:Bass, Electric, FunkyGroove60s Ev 100 RealTracks in style: 1690:Piano, Acoustic, Rhythm PopPromise Ev16 100 RealTracks in style: 1687:Guitar, Electric, Rhythm PopPromiseGritty4s Ev16 100 RealTracks in style: 1688:Guitar, Electric, Rhythm PopPromiseGritty8s Ev16 100 RealDrums in style: BluesRockFunky16ths^1-a:Snare, HiHat , b:Busy Snare, HiHat ************************** Lyrics: Well I don’t know what I’m doing wrong, Got a feeling that I should have known, I can’t decide, If you lied, Whether I should have gone You can’t keep on treating me bad, Cos you’re making me oh so sad, You know it’s not right, To set me alight, Then turn me off like a light It’s wrong, wrong, wrong, You’re singing me like a song, You’re playing me like a fool And I know that it’s wrong It’s time for me to make up my mind, Find someone who’ll treat me kind, You had your chance, You led me a dance, No more time for romance I hope in time you’ll see that it’s true, All the hurt you caused made me blue, You lost someone good, And misunderstood, Now the person who’s hurting is you It was wrong, wrong, wrong, You were singing me like a song, Playing me like a fool, And I knew it was wrong Enjoy!

floyd Thanks Floyd! Just the Country category left to do but I might sit that one out as my voice doesn't really lend itself to that genre. I could do with borrowing your voice for that one, lol! Just listening to "I Love You When it Rains". That is such a cool song. Fantastic vocals and production too. Love it! Cheers Rec

floyd I too have been extremely impressed!! I catch an ELO vibe on this. Your productions are top notch-particularly like the guitar solo and drums here. GREAT stuff!! Take care. Greg

I`m having trouble reviewing your song - the way that guitar comes in at the end fries my brain!
Seriously,though- a good song and top notch production. I`m a follower.

Rec,
"Wow!" was the first word that sprang into my head when I started listening. This is terrific. I really like the chord progression, the melody and the arrangement. Sensational music!
How come you haven't been posting on Users Showcase more regularly?
Going back for another listen now.

Many thanks for your great comments Greg. I would love to capture that ELO sound but I have a way to go yet! Then again Jeff Lynne has such a great voice. I can dream  I`m having trouble reviewing your song - the way that guitar comes in at the end fries my brain!

Robert Lol, thanks Robert. That made me chuckle! Thanks though for the great comments. Hey Rec, nothing wrong with this track! That solo at the end is killer, great playing and great tone. Cheers Kallum, you are too kind! Rec,

Regards,
Noel Thank you so much Noel! I have had a busy year; moving house, lots of things to do in the new house, my 5 year old who keeps me on my toes, making worship backing tracks (using BIAB of course) for my local church. I am also trying to put together an album and looking into giving guitar lessons locally. My other half is very understanding but spare time is limited. So I thought the Xtra styles competition was something I could dip my toes into without spending too much time but I have really got the bug again now, lol! I checked out a few of the recent tracks on the User Showcase and was blown away by the quality of the songs and musicianship which gave me something to aim for. Cheers Rec

P.S. Interested to read about your Praise and Worship background. My wife and I do the same thing. No wonder you're so good. I also sit in with a full on Harlem style gospel group from time to time and have been doing this for years. That will keep you on your toes. The first time I did it (12 song service), I asked if they had charts and the leader said "Charts? We don't use charts!! I'll tell you what key we're in and how many times we change." Every song was like AbMaj7b11add9+13/Db+9sus13flat5/Bb9add11sus4 and so on....for about one verse...until modulation 1 out of 5. In 11/4. So by time you get to Band in a Box... Well let's just say the Lord works in mysterious ways. Know what I mean brother??

Thank you so much Janice and Bud! That means a lot coming from such talented artists as yourselves. This is an exquisite composition and mix. I loved everything about it. Music man, music. Great job. David, I'm glad you liked this one too and thanks for your comments and general positivity. Now I'm just reading up on LUFS, lol (one of your other posts). Wow! Thanks a million Will B. Good to hear that from a PG Music employee. Cheers Rec

I know what you mean bro The challenge in my new church is that I am the band, lol. So I use a Voicelive 3 to thicken up my vocal sound along with my BIAB created backing tracks. I don't think I could do gospel though! Men of Faith or 10,000 Reasons is more my thing. Cheers Rec
