Midi Guitar Moods V 2.0 has been mixed to Midi Guitar Moods V 2.5

Sounds pretty cool Kenny!  The flutes are very Japanese sounding, especially with the koto (or some kind of harp maybe?) and the melody lines you've chosen (it works well).  The mix does seem a little heavy, considering the material, but that may just be due to the environment you're dealing with at the moment.
 
The whole thing is coming across like a cinematic background for an Asian drama.  If that's what you're going for, then score one for the good guys. :)

Hi Walt , 
thanks for giving this a listen 
Arrangement and instrument wise , Yes what you hear is what I was going for ….
Sure I agree , the mix has a lot of Rouge Elements. 
AS it stands now my environment is pretty much a corner of my kitchen table , a laptop . All my music gear is still packed away in boxes….I sort of knew I was gonna end up dealing with a lot of disruptive elements due to the construction ….I'm waiting for that to pass so I can figure out how and where I can set my music gear up …
thanks ,

I do hope somebody may enjoy parts of this , 

 
Most enjoyable Kenny 
 
Very "Mike Oldfield" in part, if you don't mind me saying so...
 
I've still yet to bother using my MG software.
 
Is it hardware you use?
 
 
cheers

Hello Andy , 
 
I'm real happy you found something in this music enjoyable . 
 
I happen to have an extremely quirky work flow …
I use both hardware and software , and I also use my software environment as external hardware .
 
Example , for midi guitar I use a software called Midi Guitar by Jam Origin (it is only my Mac …)
I used my Mac as a hardware controller triggered by my guitar just to play all my synth parts via midi into SONAR X3 . A good example of what I'm talking about is around the one minute mark of my song . 
All the synths I used up until when the drums came in were sounds that came only from soft synths in SONAR … these were triggered by my guitar Via the Midi guitar plug in my Mac . I sent it over while I was playing it on my guitar in real time with a midi cable
btw non of those sounds came from the Mac just the Midi I played  it is also a two way street , sometimes I may send over a synth I don't have in any of my Windows DAW's as audio via the Mac….
it's crazy bro …..
 
thanks for the listen ,

Haha! Yeah dood... That sounds a bit mad, but if it works, then why not?
 
 
Thanks for the info

 
Say did you happen to catch my little tribute to you in the song ? it happens right after the intro duet ….
one of your tunes gave me the idea to slow down a section of my tune 
 
Kenny

Nice to hear from you again Kenny always a pleasure to listen to your stuff even when you have not quite taken all the kinks out (not that there are any real kinks to worry about).
 
Thanks for sharing.

kennywtelejazz

Haha! Same here Kenny

Hi Wookiee , 
 
thank you for the kind words  
I'm looking at this one as a learning curve project .

Hey Andy , 
 
Where do I send the check ? if you didn't post in here a few times I would have been on page 3 by now …
 
thanks , I honestly did enjoy talking w you and listening to a few of yours ..

Nice Japanese electro-rock groove there, Keni.    
 
Sounds good to me.  Very nice lines throughout, but I particularly liked the simple pentatonic line for flavor. 

Hi Steve , 
 
Honorable KendoSon Know Crapanese   
 
Thank you for giving this one a listen , I appreciate it

Very cool Kenny - really good choice of synth sounds too specially on the intro

Love this Kenny, what a cool piece.

What I did was I took a section of my song where the two guitars were playing a duet over a pad and I slowed that section down ….

 
I liked that a lot, it morphs into a slowly evolving chord, very nice idea.
 
There are parts of this that reminded me of Broadsword & The Beast era Jethro Tull, when they were just getting into using synths alongside acoustic instruments, and some of your guitar work had a hint of Martin Barre about it.

Hello James, 
 
Thank you for taking the time to give this clip a listen  
 
Yes , I think I'm gonna do more at some point with that evoking pad type of thing . I may go the route of tailor making a few more of those little soundscapes using my guitar for other tunes in the future …it seems worthwhile . 
 
A little surprise here for you my friend .
I mimicked some of the type of things you played w SMB .The double lead guitar parts were done as I was thinking of you …. 
 
When I was a young teen my brother bought me two records for my birth day ….
He gave me Jethro Tull Benefit and The Who Live at Leeds . 
(these were the first two records that I ever owned that were mine and I wore the hell out of them from repeated listenings )
I Love Martin Barre's guitar playing , thats no secret …his tone is great , he plays with such taste and restraint , 
and his acoustic playing is top shelf ….He is somebody I respect and admire greatly .
I need to give Broadsword & The Beast a listen , thanks for the sugestion …..
Nice rapping with you James.

Lotza cool schtuff there Kenny. Lovin' it.

Hi Ed , 
 
There's a couple of things I'm real proud of in this song and there are a few things that need lot's more work …
 
I'm glad you found something in this music to like …

You made my day Kenny!

That is great news James !

Sounding great Kenny, aside from the tasteful melodies there's some really interesting stuff supporting the tune. Me like...

 Happy Birth Day James ! 
Some of my synth choices I'm pretty happy with ...I used synths from SONAR , Logic and some IK stuff ..
I feel I may still need to dial them in better in places...theres a little frequency masking and a few rough rouge peaks in places ...
Overall the playing is simple and I'm happy with that end of things ....
When and if I ever put together a band I would love to be doing this type of Rock ...
 
thank you for the kind words and listen
 

markno999
Very cool, the transitions from start to finish are really seamless and entertaining.   Thumbs up:)
 
Regards

Hi Markno ,
 
I'm very glad you enjoyed the transitions and how the songs sections played out together 
 
Originally the whole songs tempo was set at  what the opening section was clocking in at  ...
After the song went from the orchestral guitar pad the second half of the tune , the band section of the song  seemed rather slow and lethargic ..
I wound up keeping the first section as per the original with a few tweaks ...
The second section where the tempo picks up considerably has been a production tech I have spent some considerable time learning / working on ...I think I pulled it off ? 
Those particular attributes are what I had spent the bulk of my time working on in this version of the song ...
 
Thank you for taking the time to listen
 
all the best,
 
Kenny

I heard you do a lot of stuff over the years, and I never cease to be amazed at the diversity of your talent.  This song is one of my favorites and I must play it again a few more times.  See ya later...

Hi Lynn,
 
This tune may still need a little work and TLC , the thing is I happen to like the energy and vibe of this song myself .
 
Thank you for the super kind words you said
 
Kenny

Really cool and interesting piece, Kenny.  I love the way it just kinda' takes off just shy of the 1:00 mark.  You must have worked really hard on this one... it shows!

Serious_Noize!
I like the space in between the tones, so many people forget that it's not about speed in playing and the actual sound of what your playing. Just my opinion. 
 
WOW!!!!!!!!!! This really sounds good! No disrespect meant or nothing like that, but this could be a great start or ending credit tune for a KUNG FU type of movie. You could make some money in that way is what I am saying, and I mean that in a good way. 
 
This really does sound good! Kudos Kenny!!! I wasn't expecting what I heard at all!!!! And I enjoyed hearing it!!!!
 

Hi Bobby ,
 
I enjoyed reading your post 
I thought your ideas on submitting my music for a Kung Foo type movie were pretty good ...
Honestly ,  I wish I knew where to start with that one ...
 
I'm very glad you enjoyed what you heard . It makes me feel good .
 

Serious_Noize!
 
 Now, on to the Chuck Norris/Kenny Jokes :  "Kenny does not play the guitar, the guitar does what Kenny COMMANDS it to play!!!!". LOL!!!!
 
Good stuff man!!! All kidding aside.... 
 
Bobby

 
 

 
all the best,
 
Kenny
