Hi Everybody , 
 
this song here was primarily composed and played on my midi guitar by me 
I did not use any loops or anything anyone else created except for some of the drums and I think I might of nicked the loop for the cello part...
a quick rundown 
I played real 4 string bass on this in time with the song …
I actually tried to make it sound as if it was a synth bass ..go figure.lol
all the piano parts were played on guitar via midi
same with every other instrument except for the drums and one little part I played on the keyboard ...
I also used this song as an experimental pallet for sound design …
so be forewarned,
I'm not looking to play it safe with the sounds I rolled and created …..it might not be a pretty listen

Hi Kenny,
    Sounds great, nice and clean sound on the mix, I could hear everything in it just fine. Very creative with the sounds and midi guitar, excellent guitar playing as well! Thumbs up for me!

Great Kenny, who says good music has to be pretty. Well done with the synth guitar, it's great to hear music that's created with an instrument that for me is not standard.

I like it!   Who cares what you used to record the parts, the end result works IMO.
 
About the only thing mix-wise I didn't care for was the synth line towards the end which sounds a bit too centered for my tastes.   Otherwise...  nice job.

i like this!
this could be a part of a prog rock arrangement..
it's kinda bold, kinda rocky, kinda spacey in the right ways...
 
i think you should keep experimenting with the sounds on the synths...
maybe some of the sustained pads, should not just fade out, but morph into something way more evil sounding...
 
there are a lot of cool directions you can go with this

Nicely done Kenny.  The mix of elements is very nice and I found that as it ended I was hoping for more.  Nice!

Very nice Kenny. Love the guitar sound and the synth sounds as well. I'm hoping to get more into my guitars once I have my other sampled work completed. Nice mix and sounds great.
 
Peace and Blessings, John

Otay, buddy, that works.  Really interesting mix of sounds.  Those midi guitars are very interesting.  Mark has one too.  I like this one, Kenny and will go back in to find what went over my head on the first listen.

Hi rebel007 , 
I'm using an app called Midi Guitar …it tracks better than my hardware midi guitar ...
I like that I can use any guitar I wan't ….man that's freedom ….
I'm looking to dive a lot deeper into playing unconventional sounds triggered by my guitar ...
thank you for the listen

Hi Steve, 
normally I just post a tune with out the equipment run down ….
in my last tune , a lot of folks were curious  as to what I was using so I figured I might as well put a brief rundown in my opening post ….
as far as what I used , yeah it really shouldn't matter all that much and I like to keep a little air of mystery ...
I'm happy you liked it……yes , that synth near the end went rouge on me and I agree w you , it is taking up a little to much space ...
thanks

Hi batsbrew, 
 
this little song has been a nice experiment for me on a lot of levels … 
it got the juices flowing again and it has helped me find some of the brick walls i keep hitting in my musical production skills …
this old dog needs to learn a few new production skills and I'm really enjoying learning & working with the synths ...
 
over the years , I've dabbled around in various musical genres and it's all been good stuff for a learning experience 
 
I've come to the conclusion that deep down , this direction is more along the lines musically where I want to be going ...
 
I'm very happy that I was able to post a tune that had guitar and synth sounds in it that you liked ..

Not what I generally expect from you, which is what makes it so great.  Now, can you work in some of those crazy Gary Burton chord changes in somewhere?
