Hi all! I'm happy (and a bit scared tbh) to introduce you my 1st song "Light worker". I used to play guitar 25 years ago but then decided to stop. 25 years later (nowadays) I decided to try to go back to it. I've been seriously playing for the last 2 months and I have composed this tune. I'm just re-learning guitar. Not easy but that's my challenge  Hopefully you will like the song. I used Reaper to record and mix I play all the guitars, played the violins with my guitar using SPITLAB free instruments. Programs to have the clean and distorted sound : THU-full Vst used : OTT, Valallah reverb, Ozone 9. [Link no longer valid]

Outstanding! Beautiful guitar work. Did you say that you have been away from the guitar for 25 years, or 25 minutes!? Very polished and professional. Great work!

Very nice guitar work.
What are the drums? I don't recognize that pattern from BIAB, so if they are, it would nice to know which one...
A nice mix.
A pleasant listen.

One of my friend told me that music is like bicycle, you never really forget. Well, that's part true but not as easy. I have to relearn all the chords (and inversions), the scales, the fingers have to be reacustomed to play + sync between the 2 hands etc. But the more I practice (and it is tedious) the more I feel some things coming back on the surface from 25 years. But yeah, this is still a challenge, I have so much to re-learn and I can feel I'm very far from where I used to be (I used to play when I was 20yo, only doing that in life for a couple of years). Thank you so much for taking time to listen, your words touched me! Very nice guitar work.

fj Thank you very much Floyd for your support which helps me to keep the motivation up! My bad, I haven't say a thing about drums. I used 2 vsts : - Spitfire labs free drum kit : I played a very simple sequence using my guitar (with a plugin which allows you to play midi through the instrument). Then I added the reverb on the drums which created that kind of groovy drum sound. - For the couple of drum fills I used MT-power drum kit which is free as well. I am finishing a 2nd song which this time will use BIAB (bass/drums) that I will in a couple of weeks here. I love BIAB, it's just that I couldn't find for Light Worker that kind of "tribal" raw drum groove that I created. But maybe I didn't look for it enough. Thanks again for your support!

Very nice work. I really like the style and guitar tones. Great feel.
Interesting that you are using guitar midi. I have the Jam Origin Midi Guitar software that converts tone to midi and I also have a Fishman Tripleplay pickup. I don't find either of them very satisfactory and usually wind up using keyboard for midi. What are you using if you don't mind me asking....

Welcome to the forums.
Man, you are one fantastic guitarist! Love the tone of that axe! Plus your chops are second to none. Very nice chord progression also. And you mix was spot on.
Excellent song.

Actually I used Jam as well. I agree that it is more or less usable depending on the instrument you want to emulate on the guitar. If I remember correctly I played the strings on the guitar but used the midi keyboard for the drum line since it was not a complex one. Welcome to the forums.

I would say if there was any rust after that 25 year hiatus, you quickly cleaned it off!!! Wonderful playing!! Kind of Latin jazz-rock. Wonderful!! Take care. Greg

Scott Thank you so much Scott! There is still a long way before daring to put a toe inside a studio but your words really touch me! I would say if there was any rust after that 25 year hiatus, you quickly cleaned it off!!! Wonderful playing!! Kind of Latin jazz-rock. Wonderful!! Take care. Greg Thank you very much Greg! I love indeed latin jazz rock, I used to play some back in the day. Very happy you enjoyed this little tune! Angelo: Your playing will always be in style. From the heart, I'll say. A big thank you for your words. I'm so glad you could feel that indeed I put all my heart when I play. Thanks you! Very nice playing.

Peter Thank you very much Peter! The very next one which should be ready soon will use BIAB. A different genre, still instrumental since this is what I do. Thanks again Peter

Hi Angelomusic,
Wow... I hear so many influences in your playing, yet it sounds so fresh and original.
I hear Scorpions and others from back from when music was still good.
Thanks for posting, I enjoyed listening to it.

You play well and the arrangement is "epic".
The tone of your lead guitar is classic but, possibly, too "classic".
The delay and overdrive give it a very smooth, almost generic, sound...the sort sims do so well.
Since you getting "back into it" now would be the perfect time to find YOUR sound.
Cheers
