It wasn't bad for an amatuer, and I'm not claiming to be able to play any better, but, unbelievable? No, not unbelievable. If you want unbelievable then listen to Joe Satriani, Steve Vai, Yngwie Malmsteen or some other guitar GOD!!!
I don't mean any offence by dissagreeing with you but I have to speak my mind.
All the best & Merry Christmas

Hi SixWheels... I was mainly giving credit to one of my guitar players. He is definitely not an amateur. He's been playing professionally for a long time. It's how I feel about his lead guitar playing and thought I would express it. He plays the main lead guitar on Highway 93 Scorcher, i play the two melodic harmonizing triple lead guitar breaks in the middle and near end of the song. Anyhow, thanx for taking the time to give your opinion. edit- updated link DIGITAL POWER

Pluto, well..... listened to 3 tracks:  Highway 93 scorcher: Ok, it's not "incredible" but it's a damn good effort at a kick-ass attitude rock'n'roll ! Digital Power project: great rythmn, only.... the song should lift off more if you see what I mean. The power chords and lead breaks I like but I still think it should go somewhere mmore specific!! 95 south effex: the lead is great but personally I'm not a great fan of synths or syhth-style ryhtm.... Overall you guys are doing great, as soon as I've got a bit of time I'll go through your other files ! Cheers

The thing that I dug was the tone of that lead guitar - nice. Great for leads. I liked the effects on it too. Just enough, not so overpowering. I was in a great place in the mix too. great recording, great performance!

It's pretty good. A bit repetitive. It's actually very believable.

pluto,
"Wanna hear some unbelievable lead guitar?"
Hmmmmmmmm, NOT UNBELIEVEABLE, but fair and entertaining none the less.
If you do want to hear unbelieveable guitar playing, go to the Watering Hole, or to some of the guitar modeling sites, or to the Cakewalk songs section. There are guys out there that make your guy and a good many of us sound like we're in the "this is the way you hold your pelectrum" stage of guitar lessons.

thank you 01stevenswil.... and glad you enjoyed it. As for a classy feel.... that comment is very much appreciated. I heard it (the song) so much it's kinda hard to tell what kind of feel it has, and to hear that comment makes me feel like all the work i put into it was worth it. Thanks again. edit 1/29 - removed outdated song link. new link in opening post.

N2... thanks a bunch and for taking the time to check it out. I agree about the "Digital Power Project" track. I'm thinking of putting some rap-rock type vocals in it along with improving the "lift off" and add an explosive middle break. Thanks again. FR

thank you pilfa for taking the time to give it a spin. i do consider myself to be a modest person, but when i hear something i think sounds great, i express it. it is then up to the people to judge for themselves. your words are important though, thanks again for dropping a note.

nvr2l855.... Thank you. That song took a long time to record and get that guitar sound. Your kind words tell me i accomplished what i wanted to accomplish... and glad you enjoyed it! Just curious.... you said you were in a great place in the mix..... Could i ask what kind of a great place or the meaning etc. Thanks again for listening!

BrentB6..... thank you. the rythym guitar consists of 3 harmonizing leads throughout the whole song in the background..... the middle lead guit and near end lead guit consists of 3 harmonizing lead guitar tracks. the 3 main lead guit breaks are single leads. and there are actually 2 bass lines. i wonder if that's what you mean when you say it's "very believable"...lol. thanks again for the good word and taking the time to listen.

Try going easy on the record, I mean, you can still Normalize peaks after..  But mainly, it is deja-vu but a good classic rock song, solo ain't That great, personnaly I can improvise for years into rock style pentatonic and melodic scales at in any notes. It sounds a bit repetitive too. Anyways, maybe it is just my complex taste for creativeness.

Hey Pluto, After reading your posts, I gotta say, you got class.
I listened to a bunch of your songs, and I think "Sign" was my favorite -- but I'm not sure what happened to the end. It just sort of stops. Anyway, I like your voice and would like to have it featured more in the mix. You seem to have a vocal effects combination you are comfortable with, and to me it sounds fine, just try not to overdo it. Remember your Tao, less is more. It's tuff to master your own stuff, isn't it?
Your hard work really shows, and you are sooooooooo close!
I look forward to more.

Dana7 - Thanks for the heads up and the good word. Yes the ending of Signs never got finished, should've been a clean fade, just haven't gotten around to fixing it. As for your comment on the vocals, you hit it on the button. I have my own way i go about recording my vocals and adding effects that's comfortable for me. And about bringing my vocals out more you are absolutely right, a few people have told me the same thing, about having a good voice, why not bring it out more. Glad you mentioned it. I'm always trying to improve on things though and learn. As for mastering, mixing, it is time consuming and yes not easy. The key words, for me anyways, is patience and experimenting. Thanks again for writing and I'm glad you like the tunes. Ycharb - I will take your suggestion regarding normalization into consideration. Thanks for the good word and for taking the time to write. It is much appreciated. pluto

OMG that's such crap.
Seriously, guitar is dead. When someone calls a track like that incredible? It's time for the world to burn their axes.

Milez - Thanks for writing. You are definitely entitled to your own opinion and that's ok.... no problem with me. I disagree with your view though on my guitar player's lead guitar playing. In my own opinion, I think he plays awesome lead guitar. There's a lot of talent and great guitar players out there and on this forum. I'm not comparing or saying he's better than anyone. It's just my own opinion. What I like others may not like... and vise versa. If you are referring to the mix, sound quality.... I'm no expert at recording and mixing and am constantly trying to improve in that dept. I wish you well in your musical endeavors. Regards, pluto

I think we all missed the point.....Recording (most of us are not persueing contracts) is for fun and putting ones personal skills in sound format. Enjoy what we do and make it fun. I am not anywhere near this guys playing (listen to my FIRST SONG COMPLETED ON THIS BOARD) but I enjoy that each person has his or her own unique style and liking. Have Fun, Keep the hard drive turning! R

yea, im sick of the people that are like
"wow that guitar is so terrible because I am so much better. I crap out leads better than that."
Please, even if you don't like it, the guitarist is definitly talented. I agree with geetarock, let's encourage each other and offer suggestions, not make it into some ridiculous competition.
ok i'm done. ROCK OUT PEEPS

True, this shouldn't be a ridiculous competition. But.....Unbelievable? No. I tend to agree with sixwheels. It's ok for an amatuer. Or like a first recording. I'm not hating either. It's just not great or even good. Fair I would say.
