New prog-metal instrumental: Schectvengit

That was a wild ride! Great playing and melodies. Guitarriffic! Mix was good imo.

That was 3 minutes well-spent! Nice job with AD2! I doubt that it was intended, but I got some nice Chris Slade feel!

Amazing stuff Steve. Once again I'm hugely impressed with the arrangement/writing skill that goes into something like this.

John - Thanks!   Two weeks for three minutes worth I guess isn't too bad.   No, I never would have though Chris Slade, but hey, it is rock and to some extent he is rock.   
 
Daryl - Thanks!  I'm glad you enjoyed the ride. 
 
James - Thank you!  This was actually one of my quicker completions, so I appreciate the comments. 
 
Dan - Thanks!   I'll have to give that spot a re-listen.  There's not a lot of hard-quantizing going on, so it's possible that I may have shifted something a little off.  

I didn't post this earlier, because I didn't want to appear to hijack the thread and the song is too good for that. But since Kenny brought up the 7-string again, I figured I'd share this video I found. I don't like the song as much, but it's well played, and shows what one musician can do with a DAW (Reaper, in this case).

Thanks, Kenny!   I'm glad you liked it.  I very much enjoy playing the 7 string, though I've got a ways to go before I'd consider it "comfortable".   But that's OK, I like the challenge and (so far) the results.  
 

 
That's cool Steve ,
 
Yeah I love playing 7 string when I do play it . Right now it is the only guitar I have out on my guitar stand .
 
One of the things that helped me get comfortable on it was  was thinking of the B string (second string ) and transferring that comfort ability and familiarity over to my low string ...or the A string ( 5th ) if you tune to low A...  
I can shred on 7 string  , but I actually prefer to approach my 7 string playing more along the lines of playing it as if I was doing my version of a unaccompanied guitarist wishing he was able to play keys on the guitar by doing a solo finger-style playing type of thing ...
One thing is for sure ...there has been lot's of fret board accidents and collisions with the finga's making wrong turns ....
 
I think I'm long over due for making a 7 string guitar u tube vid
 
Hey man good luck , I'm happy for you that you have a 7 string
 
Kenny

Great work

Wow Steve!! I loved this rocking ride......excellent chops and tones.....great mix too!!! Would love to hear more like this and this translated really well on my headphones.
 

Very cool.
Very good workmanship, and a good good composition, that kept me interested through the whole track.
And you've done a good job on the drum programming.
And I liked the mix also. 
If I should say someting negative, that would be: "I don't like the colour on your shoes", and that doesn't make any sense....

Thanks, Øyvind.  Glad you liked it!
 
Thanks, Bob!  The kick thing does seem to be part of the style so I just go with it.       I am glad your friend liked it too, always nice to get an "outsiders" opinion.
 
Thanks, Mesh.  Good to know the mix is coming across.  Given the newness of the 7 string I'd imagine there's more of this genre waiting in the wings somewhere along the line...
 
Thanks, Wookiee.  And right back at ya!
 
Thanks, Roger!  I very much appreciate the comments.   Even though my shoes might feel otherwise.  
 
Thanks, Tom.  I wouldn't have thought Zappa, but that's one I'll never turn down.   Hopefully your seat is still intact!
 

This is really nice. I really like the oddity of the second section.
 
Very well done!

I dig it.  Love the keys leads and tones.  Needs more guitars though.

Wow!  Very cool and good mix.  The break between 20-22 sound different to me that the other breaks.  I wonder if there is a way to add some natural air in a break like that?  This may have been your intention and if it is that cool too.  Well done!
Tom.

Cool! Well done instrumental music ... good mix and sounds

Thanks, Makke!    I am glad you liked it!
 
Thanks, Chas!   I appreciate it.
