Like the guitar sound and the bass fits the song perfect. It does seem to be a bit repetitious for a good part of the piece. Maybe some awesome lead in the middle of the piece would give it some added dynamics. Nice and clearly  recorded and lots of added sound bites here and there work out nicely and the lead toward the end could also work at the middle as well. Nice piece of music though. Your second song just started, very nice.

Peace be with you. Blessings, John


Cheers John. Blessings to you too.

Yep it does have somerepetitive parts to it as i  was structured more as an electronica track than a standard guitar-based track. I do like repetition in electronica and i use it to build up tension in a track.

This track is about seven years old and it was the first time i tried anything like it, buti am pretty happy with how it turned out  though.

That's one hell of a nice guitar groove!


THANKS J.  Glad you enjoyed the groove. :-)

Nice piece perhaps the feature guitar could come up a bit, just me?

Thanks for sharing


Thanks John. 

Yeah the levels of some of the guitars could maybe be tweaked here and there, but i had troubles taming some of the guitar parts and had to use a lot of EQ on them and this made mixing more of a pain.   I've settled for the compromise it is now, but i may tweak further at a later date.

Glad to see that you're working in Guitar. Now we need some chord changes, pretty soon we'll have you doing 1/4/5 rock and roll ;-)

Nice one John, really like this. I'd say repetition is part and parcel of this kind of piece, it becomes quite hypnotic.

Great work John. Enjoyed that. Rich musical textures. Again, a bit even, but that seems to be what you are going for these days. Well done.


Thanks Shad. Pleased you liked it.

Yep lately i have been trying to get a more even sound on my tracks, but if i'm honest, i do prefer a more dynamic/less compressed mix, so i'll probably go back to doing that in the future.

Heavy limiting was more of a necessity with this one though to keep the guitar transients in check.  It did sound much more dynamic though before soundcloud's converter got hold of it.

Thanks Frank. Glad you enjoyed.  Pleased you liked the guitars.:-)

I used a really cheap strat copy that i picked up on ebay which was little more than a toy compared to a good strat copy, and i played it through a "Zoom G2" effects processor.   It was all i could afford at the time, but it was quite nice for the money.

You can tell my technique is quite stilted and wooden in this and lacks the fluidity that you and other seaoned guitar players on this forum posess.

Many thanks Grant. Appreciate your kind words.

This is probably one of my personal favourites of the tracks i've done, probably cause of it's uniqueness.
