This is an instrumental I put together (about 5+ years ago) after auditioning some bass & drum loops (also used in this). It's truly a one chord instrumental that just seemed to work out and I finally made the time to mix it.
 
 
My mate, Daryl Greenway did a fantastic job in Mastering it for me.
 
I'd appreciate any tips on the mix as I'm slowly learning this art......btw, this was all mixed using my only H-Phones (at night when the little ones were asleep).

Love the groove on this mate - great playing too

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.  

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. 

Really  a challenge to do 4+ minutes of one chord. But you pulled it off in fine fashion.
 
It's a really small group of songs that work well with one chord.  Run Through The Jungle is one that comes to mind... By Creedence Clearwater Revival.... key of Em..... I know there's a few more.....
 
Nice groove going on in this.  That certainly keeps it interesting.

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.

Really nice ear candy to take you along for four plus minutes. It's mixed really well, and my only wish would be for the bass to vary it up a bit, work the line a little differently on occasion. But it does bring the funk.
 
nice save after 5 years!
 
cheers,

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.


 
 
 
 

Mesh
as I'm slowly learning this art...

Get outa here!!!
 
Some great playing there Meshy... Now you have a SoundCloud A/C I want to hear more from you!!
 
Get workin!

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!!
