Another rock tune from Christiane and myself, crank up the volume for this one: The Bullet The Bullet (2017, Chris Spruit) V1 Burning in a fever I got caught out in the rain Maybe I'm too eager a bullet in my vein I can’t say it is going to save me but I swear it takes the blues I am burning for you baby yeah, take the bullet when I lose V2 Dancing at the border of a dry and wasted land Burning down the bridges as I know you understand How to tame the running horses all the good and all the bad I rely on you my baby yeah, hide the bullet in your hand Bridge "I rely on you" improv Guitar solo V3 I am burning for you baby it is keeping me alive Maybe I'm too eager but life is not that kind I am burning for you baby and I know it takes the blues The bullet in my vein take it while I lose The band: Drums: RockBritDrivingEv16 Bass: 1418 Piano: 1838 I recorded five guitar tracks for this, lots of fun! As always any feedback is appreciated! https://soundcloud.com/blue-attitude/the-bullet-featuring-chris-spruit

I absolutely love the guitars in this! You really recorded 5? Fantastic! Love this tune. Hi Ember, Yes, it is a technique called doubling, quite common in rock music. I have two guitars playing a similar rhythm part, panned left and right, and then two guitars playing a similar riff pattern, panned left and right. Not throughout the entire song, just in key places. And then I have the lead guitar on top. Thanks for taking the time to listen and comment, I appreciate it

Dave,
WOW! Outstanding! This is a great song - the guitars are excellent and I love your lead tone, especially that fluted sound right at the songs end...
Chris has the swagger of Ann Wilson - tremendous vocal.
Loved it!

This is great classic rock.
Every part of the song delivers. The expression throughout is quite remarkable.
What a fantastic production. Guitar work stands out too.

Dave & Chris...
Dang!
This is over-the-top good in so many ways.
Chris' vocals are awesome! Powerful, confident. "Woman Rock" as it should be - as Bob says "Heart-like".
Excellent Rock write, too! Not an easy thing to do. Great "rock phrases" that allow the singer to really "belt it out there" - with just the right amount of "meaning" vs. ambiguity for the listener to fill in the blank. Probably the best Rock write ever presented on the forum.
Top-notch guitar work from every angle. The solos and fills are AWESOME!! LOVE the tone (S-Gear?). The backing guitars are nice - tasteful, not over-done. Perfect. (Nice piano sound! - really well positioned/mixed).
Excellent mix.
This is STUNNINGLY GOOD.
Zowie, y'all. KEEP IT UP!

What a tune, BlueAttitude! As others have mentioned - the guitar work on this is impeccable. I'm agreeing with Scott C here; this should definitely be on the radio. Amazing composition - amazing vocals - amazing guitar - overall just an amazing song. Thanks so much for sharing! You should be very proud of this one

What a fantastic production. Guitar work stands out too. Never really understood the term "classic rock", to me it's just rock. Unless it means it is rock music made by old people, in which case in it makes perfect sense :P Thanks for taking the time to listen and comment, I/We appreciate it!

fj Wow, thanks Floyd! You made my day when I read your comments, and Christiane's too. To answer your question; yes, all of the guitar tracks are going through the S-Gear amp simulator, I love it! In addition I'm using the Waves CLA guitar fx plugin on the lead guitar, picked it up on sale for $29 last week. Thanks again, we appreciate it

We are on the third listen as we write this. Man, I hate to use such a trite term...but what the heck:
AWESOME!!!!!
Everything floyd said, and others, is well deserved.
Gotta be one of the absolute top productions on the forum this year.
The guitar and vocal performances are over the top good and you wrapped it up in an incredible mix.
Kudos!!!!
J&B
PS That piano was a perfect choice too.

WOW
This is better than almost everything that I have heard on the radio lately! Super vocals, lyrics and what a great mix. That plus your outstanding guitar chops make this a keeper.
If I heard this in a CD store I would buy it. It's that good.

Dave,
Well, it seems all the appropriate accolades have already been offered. We'll ditto all of them. Stunningly awesome ... already used in one way or another both worthy of a repeat. The only thing we did like was that it came to and end -- every time we played it. You and Chris have a winner here. One of the very best tracks on the forum in quite some time. Standing "O"!
Alan & Di
