One Chord

Love the groove on this mate - great playing too

Interesting concept to write a tune with one chord a lot of these tend to get monotonous after a bit. I am glad to say this isn't one of them and keeps the ear of the listener, well it does for me.
 
Great concept, composition and playing. 

Wonderful sounding production and master. Such a tasty journey, forgot about it being one chord. Salute for the outstanding playing skill and musicianship. Being that I'm looking to do some stuff like this, I find this very inspiring. Love it.

This does have a very nice groove, I played with a one chord tune interesting experiment.  Mix wise sounds nice here comes across as well balanced, nice bottom end, but I like a good bottom end.  Perhaps a little less reverb on the lead guitar but that can be a taste thing.
 
Nice job Mesh on the composition and playing, very polished mastering job from Daryl.  

Thanks Wooks!!
 
I too like a nice bottom end and do like it when it stands out a bit (musically speaking)  ...... I wasn't sure how well the mix translated on speakers (on mine, it was a bit bass heavy). Thanks for listening and the kind words.


 
 
 
 

LOL Synkro....thanks & yes, finally set up my SoundCloud acct. and Aye Aye Capt., will get a working!!!
 
@Adrian: Thanks for listening/commenting mate.....interestingly, I hadn't planned on writing a "one chord" song, but it just naturally evolved into it after I kept jamming along with the bass/drum grooves (or I was just bloody lazy to make any chord changes at the time...lol). BTW, I listened to a few of your tracks yesterday, but didn't have a chance to leave a comment....will revisit tonight. :)
 
@Herb: Yeah, without vocals, I just have to make it up with guitar parts to carry the tune...thanks Herb.
 
@Grant: Thanks my brother for the kind compliments. I tells ya, some of these plugins out there can just do wonders, and even make my noises sound good. :)) 
 
@Tom: It means a lot to hear you (as well as others here) enjoyed the mix as your work is top shelf material (especially your attentions to the bass details) and I value your comments. I agree, some variation on the bass would've enhanced the groove and I should learn how to cut/chop/dice/ginsu these nice sounding loops.
 
@Daryl: All of this was only possible because you worked your Mastering magic on this........thanks again mate!!

Just left a comment on SC...   if this is just one chord, then you've pulled it off well 'cause it sure sounds like a heck of a lot more!   The rhythm section is grooving nicely with a good funk edge, and I particularly enjoyed the guitar parts laid over top.   Very enjoyable.

Thanks Steve.
Technically, yeah it's 2 chords, but the whole grove always stayed on Cm. Regarding the guitar parts, I did use Melodyne on one of the acoustic lead clips to get a little harmony added to the mix.

Wow this sounds fantastic! I have just done a room treatment with some Auralex panels and this is a perfect song to test it out on.
 
But not only is it well produced it is well composed.  Great song!

Thanks so much for the very kind compliments Lawrence. I really appreciate it and this definitely motivates me to keep improving my mixes. 
 
 
@Bassjoker: Thanks for listening and glad to see you enjoyed it.
 

Hey, Mesh,
 
Fantastic job on this classy sounding instrumental with excellent composition, great playing, lots of tasty melodies (especially for one chord!), and a crystal clear, well textured, punchy sounding mix!
 
Daryl did a super job on the mastering, too!
 
Dynamite work, buddy, keep 'em coming!
 
Have a good one!

Groovy rhythm section ... Nice melody lines and arrangement on the one chord. sounds good

Thanks Makke and James, I appreciate the listen and comments. The whole song just came together very easily IIRC.....I just remember jamming along with some grooves and they all seemed to work out well together. :))

Sounds pro to me!  Nice groove.  I'm digging it!

Hey Mesh ,
 
Hey Man , That sounded very nice
 
 
I Love It When A One Chord Jam Comes Together
