Nicely done Kenny I enjoyed the blend of sounds.  
 
Interestingly there was a band on last weeks Later... with Jools Holland which consisted of just Bass and drummer and he was getting some nice sounds out of his bass not sure if you can see this but here is a link to the whole show.

Nice work Kenny!  I don't think I've ever heard anything from you except guitar?  this is well put together and has great elements to it!  no crits, just praise!

Most excellent! I really enjoyed the interplay between the guitar and the piano and the harsh synth sounds although they could have been a LOT meaner and the track would have still worked.
 
Cheers,
Terry.

I like this a lot. It has a nice progression. The piano licks in the middle are very well done, as if they were done on keys.



Hi Scotty, 
thanks for leaving a comment over on SC … I got to return the favor 
I'm glad you liked this and dug the songs progression ….
yeah , those piano licks …they are pentatonic fourths and they lay pretty easy on the guitar ... 
I think using the keyboard for those tones added a nice touch and texture to my song ...
thanks 
OT , are you a pilot ? I noticed in your pic over at sound cloud that you seemed very happy in that picture , and it looked to me that you were flying a plane …..cool beans

What else can be said? Different and sounded fine. Perhaps a bit more of the bass guitar in there on the low end in volume otherwise the song was different and reminded me of what you said it was.
 




hi spacealf , 
the bass is pretty much where I wanted it to be for now  
thank you very much for giving my song a listen and offering you feedback

Really cool sounds I think, Kenny! Someone above said it feels like it could be a prog rock... such a great idea! Personally I love the ending too




hi davdud101, 
I'm happy you dug my sounds , that means a lot to me 
Yeah , progressive rock / experimental rock is probably where I'm gonna be heading for a while in my music 
 …it's a lot of fun,  and there is plenty of room to experiment  
I'm happy you like the ending and I hope it's OK for me to say this I happen to like the ending myself 
thanks

A Great start
Very interesting progression.
Nice riffs.
Great balance and arrangement.
I liked it!
 




hi M_Glenn_M , 
I tried a lot of new things on this song , some things I haven't tried before …... I'm very happy that you liked it .
thank you for the kind words 
 
 
Rimshot
Good job Kenny.  I don't hear much guitar midi stuff and I liked all the colors you created.




 
hi Rimshot , 
I'm speaking generally when I say this that midi guitar is a tough nut to crack …..
I honestly think midi guitar would be much more popular with guitar players if a player didn't have to alter just about every aspect of playing the guitar to play a midi guitar cleanly ...
 
I got my first midi guitar in 1982 …..I'm still at it ….still doing my best to crack that nut ….
the thing that changed the most that makes it worth it to me is the potential of sounds that I can create …or have at my disposal 
in this song I have barely scratched the surface of what can be done on a guitar synth with todays synthesizers...
 
I'm very happy that you enjoyed the tones and colors in my song ….it means a lot to me 
 
Kenny

I liked this a lot Kenny. Loved the section at 1:37, really lush and 'epic'. Good dynamics and plenty of variety in here, I can tell you enjoyed yourself
 
Oh, and..Hey..put my Les Paul back!!!

Son of a Biotch... I listened, and thought I commented on my phone...
 
You've got to love synthesizers... They expand your music like other things expand your mind? 
 
Music without synthesizers? Is like "fun" without young women... 
 
P.S. I enjoyed this.
 
P.P.S, haven't enjoyed a young woman in a while? But that's another story...




Hi Robbie , 
 
sorry to take so long getting back here , i had a lot going on and I sort of let my songs hang ...
you know how it is …I wanted to  listen to other peoples songs and comment before I got back to my own ...
 
I'll tell you something about synths …they are just about as hard for me to figure out as women 
In the past few weeks I wound up picking up Groove 3 videos  for Dim Pro , Rapture , EXS 24 and Z3AT2 ...
I feel like I'm in synth boot camp over here .
 
I'm glad you enjoyed my tune  thanks for listening and commenting 
 
Bert Guy
Hi Kenny,
Cool instrumental, here, with good variations in texture and pace. The interplay between the GTR and fake piano in the mid-section is hot- kinda Zappa-esque.
 
Cheers,
 
Bert




Hi Bert Guy , 
My music is pretty much instrumental music . I'm always looking to explore new sonic territory 
I like what happened with that interplay and I'm planing on going there some more .
thank you for giving this song a listen

Hi Wookiee, 
 
I'm real happy you enjoyed the blend of sounds in my tune 
some of them  were a lot of work to come up with and I learned a little something along the way ..
I honestly hope to get better at that sort of thing …I feel this was a good start 
 
Sorry , I haven't gotten the chance yet to check out the link , I hope to soon ...
I love playing with a real drummer much more that I like playing with drum machines 
 
thanks for giving this song a listen

Hi Reece, 
 
Yes , I think I went through a long period of time where I was playing my guitar to backing tracks for Blues contests and doing a little guitar playing for u tube videos….then I posted my Jazz improv homework ...
I'm very happy you like what I did on this song  it means a lot to me

Hi Terry, 
 
you should of heard that harsh synth before I toned his a$$ down  
 
yeah I listened to some of your tunes …..
you an I might be able to do something musical in the future
I have a lot of experience playing my guitar with piano / keyboard orientated music  
 
thanks for giving my song a listen , I appreciate it ...

Hi James , 
 
I'm very happy you enjoyed this experimental song  
Yes, that section at 1:37 came out pretty good (i think ) and I love the way it ends with the power chords ….
thats just our Les Paul clearing his throat  
In did spend some time working that section up and I think thats the type of rock I'm looking to write and play.
I'm happy that theres a couple of sections of the song that have went over well...
It's true that I really enjoyed myself doing this song .
thank you James 
 
all the best , 
Kenny

Sound fantastic.  I have got to give MIDI guitar a try.  There is a new program that is getting good reviews so I might give that a try...apparently you can use a normal guitar.

Sounds great!

Now I want a MIDI guitar!  You always seem to be evolving, and I never know what to expect from you except excellence.  I love it that you always take the guitar to the next level.  Kudos!
