Here's a song I started writing in November 2022, and just finished recording. I was able to use the BIAB RD's this time, but I did use my MODO Drum plugin for some additional drum parts All RT's are listed below. All lead & background guitar parts (plus a couple rhythm tracks too) are my Tele (background rhythm tracks), and my Strat (solo & slide at the end) being played through a Boss GX-100 processor that I recently got. I'm doing all the vocals as well. I mastered with IK Multimedia's T-Racks 5. I also used a number of module processors (plugins) from that same program in my DAW (Reaper) when recording. As always all comments are welcome. https://soundcloud.com/greg-achord/i-believe-in-youRD Drums_FunkHalfNotePulse + IK Multimedia Modo Drums RT 1717 Bass RT 580 Guitar Elec RT 1718 Guitar Elec RT 3974 Guitar Reso RT 2360 Piano Elec RT 2763 Piano Acou ©2022 Greg Achord I Believe In YouI just wanna take a minute now, and talk about your life It seems some of the choices you're makin', are like a roll of the dice I just can't help but keep from worryin,' you're always on my mind We gotta find a way to bring you back, you're not the quittin' kind I believe in you and always will Well I'm not sure where it all went wrong, It kinda snuck up fast For so long you're at the front of the line, then suddenly you're last I wanna' help I think you know I do, 'cause there's a price to pay You can't give up, you can't turn your back, you can't walk away 'Cause I believe in you and always will (Solo) I know there's others who struggle this way, I've even been there myself Yea don't go blamin' those around you, for the hand you were dealt It's up to you to make the choice, you are the one in control But remember you can count on me, I love you heart & soul Yea I believe in you and always will (x3) (Solo Out)

Greg, this one is right smack dab in the middle of your lane. Really well written lyrics, sung to perfection. Your guitar playing is a lesson in making every note count not counting how many notes you can fit in the bar. Well mixed. I wouldn’t change a thing, Tom

Nice driving song, great arrangement and mix. But what makes the song are your vocals, you have the perfect voice for this style of music

Really nice - positive vibes, upbeat vocal, cool solo, retro feel without feeling old. Cool bits from the piano and resonator guitar as well.

Cool tune Greg! Really liked that groove. I echo what Tommy said about the guitar work - great stuff. I also loved that dobro in the back. Made me feel a little like rocking in swamp land with CCR!

Your vocals are so convincing that we know you really do believe! This has a good and joyous (as Janice said) groove to it and your fine playing meshes so well with the RT’s. Nice interplay with the resonator guitar RT. Lyric, performances, mix - it’s all really good and we enjoyed it! Keep 'em coming, J&B
