Hi Andy, this is nothing to be embarressed about.

Phew... Thanks Rik... That's one thumbs up at least

The clean guitar is a bit dark imho.

Is this something I should fix? Or does dark = good? I know I might be a mile off with the tone, which will need more EQ'ing.

This is definately something to keep working on.

 
Thanks again Rik... Give me some hope that 
 
Thanks again for listening and testing that link. I've since updated the OP again cos I'm not sure what my bandwidth allowance is on my synkrotron site...
 
 
cheers

Hi Andy, to my ears the clean guitar is a bit to dark, i'd like a bit more sparkle  so you can hear the chords a bit better.

Ah! Right... A bit more top end...
 
I'm hoping I can do that with EQ... I'm already as bright as I can be with my PRS...
 
thanks for that 

Nice start Andy, quite atmospheric already. The fuzzed lead guitar certainly has that slightly-celtic Oldfield vibe to it. Worth pursuing I think.

Thanks James... Looks like I'm going to be busier than I thought 

Yea Andy, I really like where this is going. I'm thinking what you perceive as timing issues is actually natural human syncopation. With a more natural drum track, I think this will be super cool. Nice tone and style on display here used in a very musical way. Salute from a fellow PRS tickler.  

Sounds like a good start the furry ears will be keeping there eyes pealed for the following developments. 

Hi Andy,
 
I am going to comment first then go listen to the track...lol
 
You said: "I suppose I am putting it out there to see if peeps think I'm wasting my time with this project. I consider a lot of peeps here to be my friend, so I trust what you say, and if peeps think I should stick to what I know best, then that is what I will do. My PRS will go back to hanging on the wall..."
 
Take the PRS off the wall an put it in you hand an play until you like what you get and tell all of us to shut up and listen...lol The PRS will never sound good hanging on the wall. And no it is not a waste of time to learn something new no matter how long it takes or what it sounds like starting out.
 
I, like a lot of people on this site like what you do and are here to support you in all of your learning new stuff. I know a note or two but I do not know how to create what you create. I am not Andy and Andy is what makes you special.
 
Now I go listen.
 
Cheers,

EDIT: OK no more of "I don't know how to play guitar from you"...don't make me come over there...lol
 
This is a great start and the lead is cool. If something gets out of time and you just can not get it in time no matter how many times you re play it, then that is what quantize is for. Timing takes time to learn and the only known way to fix timing issues is to play slow and build up speed SLOWLY...this can not be done with the PRS hanging on the wall...lol
 
Just do it Andy, and I am here to help you any way I can, so if you need help with the guitar just ask.
 
 
Cheers Mate,
 
Billy

Not a waste of your time, or ours!
 
Have you tried Scuffham's S-Gear? You might like it better than Guitar Rig. Just a thought . . .
