String Jammer
Another great hit. I really like the bass lines between 1:20 and 1:35. Cool stuff.

hey scotty,
i had to go back and listen to that section you mention..
that walking bass line, i can't remember where that came from,
but i do remember trying about 5 different approaches during those verses sections...
and that one seemed to make the most sense.
 
sometimes, i just sit down and play a bass line from beginning to end,
and that's it.
and other times, i'll listen to the playback and go "nah",
and end up doing that about a dozen times!!
 
LOL
 
i almost never punch in bass tracks, i like to play them at one go, top to bottom,
i don't know, it's just easier for me to maintain the groove i feel, if i don't punch anything in...
 
i DO punch in on guitar parts and vocals,
but that's basically because i write them on the fly, go back and learn the harmonies, and do those on the spot as well.
 
probably not the best way....
 

enjoyed it !
good jam/vibe thru to end ....liked the Vai comment....good chops in there ;o).
...will listen to other songs again later... 
in a bit of a hurry at moment.. ;(

Your stuff is always good ... but this one just blew me away ...  TFG (Tooo Friggggin Goood)
 
 
      Eddie meets Allan  LOL   Great stuff !!!!

I hear ya, Rob. The bass line adds an additional interest grabber to go along with your smoking guitars.

That's a real tour de force Bats, you crammed SO much in there! Man, I love those harmony runs, I'm envious of that. I love to harmonise guitars but have to do it...very...slowly.... Excellent stuff, as always.

Hi. This was a great experience (!) I have nothing more to say...
All the best.

Bats,
 
On the technical/mix side I almost never have anything to say about your stuff.
 
Performance wise, ditto.
 
The only thing I can honestly say is that I almost never hum anything of yours twenty minutes later. In all honesty your choruses aren't very memorable to me.
 
But maybe that is not what you want to focus on?

Guitars and production are amazing.  

No kidding here, great tones and great playing.

Funny how someone mentioned Geddy Lee... Not because I think you sing like him, but that last chord has a very nice "Hemispheres-ish" sound to it.

Great job!

Simply fantastic. Not many are equally good at playing arranging and mixing, even to master. I think you've nailed it for this genre. Some of the best of the best IMO.
