Hi Marty
Thank you for your kind comment. Yes, not all 'shadows' contain gbosties and ghoulies. These guys were great fun.

Flashback to the 60's is spot on. Ian you captured the essence of The Shadows perfectly, from the guitar's tone, to the backing tracks, to the mix.

My kind of music.

Loved it.


Me, it's not about how many times you fail, it's about how many times you get back up.

Hi Ian ...

As a lead guitar player who grew up in the 1950s and 1960s, I really appreciate this! And yes, very nice throwback to the "Shadows" style.

I was a huge Ventures fan. "Walk Don't Run" was one of the first instrumentals I learned to play - sometime around 1964. The clarity of all the tracks is a real treat.

My wife and I were talking about growing up in the 50s and 60s several days ago. We almost concurrently said what we miss most about those years was the innocence. Your song represented that so vividly. Really a sweet listen. Sweet!!!!

Take care ...

Alan

Thanks Alan
They WERE the best of times. We live in such hatd, cold times these days. All Innocence lost. How sad. All We can do is remember those good times.
I never learned Walk Dont Run. I was too intent on Apache at the time. Now its a sraple of my gigs - if there ever are going to be any.

You've created a time machine. I love this sound, and you make it sound like it leapt right off a 45 (without all the snap, crackle, and pops). Well done!

You really nailed the genre and era. That tremelo reverb guitar and the part that really makes it superb, is your excellent choice of chords. That puts it over the top.

Hi E S
Thanks for your kind comments.
In hindsight the Lead guitar tone is a bit 'boomy' but the concept works.
Couldn't have done it without Band In A Box.

Hi Herb
Thank you. The guitar runs through a pre-programmed Alesis Q2 echo unit, much like the guys did 60 yrs back.
Chords. I likes chords. The sequence owes a lot to Mr Floyd Jane whose use of m7b5 (the half dimished) chords was a light bulb moment for me. It really helps when working out a sequence for BB to do its magic.

Ian, yes the word "Shadows" has multiple meanings with this classically presented number.

An excellent choice of backing musicians, the Latin rhythm was an ideal choice, and then all of this blended together into a perfect mix.

Lots to like about this number. Great!

Hi Trev, thank you for your kind comments. Much appreciated.
The "Shadows" was an intentional pun of course and the Calypso guitar RTs lend themselves well to this 60s Ballad instro style. I wish there were more retro guitar and RD Real Tracks. Lots of Surf ones but the 60s wasnt all beach & babes. Or was it? ;-)

Band-in-a-Box® 2024 Review: 4.75 out of 5 Stars!

If you're looking for a in-depth review of the newest Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows version, you'll definitely find it with Sound-Guy's latest review, Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows Review: Incredible new capabilities to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs.

A few excerpts:
"The Tracks view is possibly the single most powerful addition in 2024 and opens up a new way to edit and generate accompaniments. Combined with the new MultiPicker Library Window, it makes BIAB nearly perfect as an 'intelligent' composer/arranger program."

"MIDI SuperTracks partial generation showing six variations – each time the section is generated it can be instantly auditioned, re-generated or backed out to a previous generation – and you can do this with any track type. This is MAJOR! This takes musical experimentation and honing an arrangement to a new level, and faster than ever."

"Band in a Box continues to be an expansive musical tool-set for both novice and experienced musicians to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs, as well as an extensive educational resource. It is huge, with hundreds of functions, more than any one person is likely to ever use. Yet, so is any DAW that I have used. BIAB can do some things that no DAW does, and this year BIAB has more DAW-like functions than ever."

Our Customer Service hours this weekend are:
