Hi, James,
 
Great job on this smooth electronica song, and it seems like your guitar is coming along nicely!
 
As Mark mentioned, the song does have a bit of a cool spooky vibe to it and also a bunch of nice laid back textures flowing through it.
 
Nice job, keep up the good work!
Bob

        Thanks Bob , its been slow for me creating another tune because of all
        the personal stuff going on with me at home and then buying my drums
        and guitar .
        Getting the guitar setup , my finger tips hardened and figuring out how
        to work with Guitar Rig 4 was a big time waster but I now have everything
        working so I should be able to spend more time working on my guitar
        practice and creating some music .
 
        Thanks for taking the time to listen and leave me a comment on this electronic
        tune I created , I agree the second section does bave sort of a spookie
        vibe to it which is cool I sort liked it when I started creating that sound .
 
 
         Thanks Bob ROCK ON Buddy !

James, you're making quick progress on the guitar.  I would rely less on the guitar effects and work on getting a nice strong guitar tone.  While the effects work with this excellent little vibe, they mask nuances that you might not develop if you are forced to work with guitar tone.  I'm not against effects, certainly I use compression and EQ and a little gain, but I run very few effects.  I'm not suggesting you go to my extreme, but in developing your guitar technique, learn the guitar tones first and your effects will sound even better.  I also find natural guitar tones to work really well with ambient backgrounds that are highly synthesized.  Good work.

        Thanks Daryl for the comments and guitar advice and tips , I guess this
        tune was more or less an expermental song using my guitar and messing
        around with the Guitar Rig 4 effects .
        Now that this music is out of the way my main focus is guitar practice ,
        learning some more chords and learning more about scales on the fretboard.
        Your right start with the basic tones first , get my foot in the pond before
        I dive into the pool . LOL
        With this tune I took a deep breath and headed right into the deepend of
        the pool , made alot of mistakes and posted alot of samples too many but
        what the hell the excitment of being able to play and create my own lead
        guitar tracks took over this month I guess .
        Hey it was great therapy so I'm not complaining atlease I know now I'm
        in the water swimming . LOL
 
        Thanks Daryl for the support and your comments on my playing , its not
        a speed race just having fun learning .
 
        Cheers -James

Just an update , today I went back in deleted my recorded drums I recorded when I started this song and replayed it again .
This time I played a straight drum pattern in the first section and in the second section I added more tom fills in my pattern .

I also took alittle of the reverb out of my one guitar track and slightly adjusted the volume level in that track .

Thats about it , don't think there will be anymore updates unless I add vocals to it in the next two weeks or so .

Thanks for listening - James

Cool sounding track... I like it...

         Thanks for the heads up buddy ! I'm going to
         mess around with some vocals and see if I can't
         work some lyrics in . Not sure what but you never
         know untill you try .
 
         Thanks for the listen - James

Hi James.  It does sound a bit spooky but I get a bit of a different feel from it.  To me it sounds as if it could be background music for the opening scene in a spy thriller (JB style).  It has a cautious feel while building a bit of tension.  Just a thought -- but if the guitar or lead instrument were brought to the front a bit more and varied in gain it might build on this tension a bit more.
BTW, your guitar playing is coming along very well.
I particularly like the fact that you jumped right into the deep end of the pool and experimented around with this number.  You are not just treading water but swimming indeed.  Nice job!!

         Hey thanks Freddy , yea I'm glad I finally took the plunge buying a guitar .
         So far I'm having fun with this Gibson type guitar and trying my best to
         learn quicky with a few hours of practice per day . If I can keep it up in
         a few years I should water skiing across the pool WOW lookout for that 
         frog in the pool ! LOL
 
         Thanks for the listen and comments - James

Did you make some changes since my last reply James? Just wondering. It sound a whole lot better now in my opinion. Sounds like you got that GR4 problem figured out. The mix sounds a lot better also. 

This sounds like it would be a great music intro to a movie, or a movie scene where someone is going on a mission, or better yet a video game where you have movie scenes and missions. It has a broad range of potential in my opinion regardless of what you are going for. 

This is one I think you should try and do a video of, not just flight sims, but real pictures and real video, maybe something along the lines of what I just suggested if you can get rights to and find such video. It would be cool in my opinion. 

Either way, I think this sound great!! Good work man!!

         Thanks Bobby yes I did I went back and deleted the first recorded drum
         tracks and replayed them changing the drum pattern slightly . Then
         I backed off the reverb on my guitar tracks slightly and raise the volume
         up a tab .
         That was it , thanks for the comments - James
