Description : This is actually a song that just happened. I was playing my guitar when I suddenly got this lick in my head and I recorded it as a demo for my bandmates in Transatlantic Experience. The adlib vocals is just for Jim and Allen to get an idea about the melody, so the words might not make total sense.
I use a Macbook Pro, Garageband, Logic, Strat, fretless Presicion and have tolerant neighbours. Apart from the Apple loops drums, it's all me. Even if it's a rough first demo for my bandmates, I'm curious to know what you think about the tune so far...

p.s. The finished result will eventually turn up on the TransatlanticExp page here on Looper.

Good song, i love the guitars, and wish i can play it and i can't play guitar. Its a nice easy going song, a happy vibe to this.

Good job.

Peace...

Thank you for the kind words. I love to play the guitar but the funny part is my idea of playing has changed dramatically. When I was a kid I wanted to play leads like Richie Blackmore och Jimmy Page, now all I focus on in my own playing is to sound like myself and keep it as simple as possible.
I guess that's result of years of practice. :)
Again, thanks for the review, much appreciated.

This is pretty special right now. After you add the other two to the mix it is going to be amazing. Great guitar work as usual. Nicely mixed. A great start to what I know will be an amazing track.

Well done.

HAhhaha the first to play it!

I love the intro! The verse part is definitely interesting and i like the sustained vibe it has.

There are definitely some influences in it...from rock to country and blues I think you've got them all. Nice riffs that's for sure! Very well balanced on both side before the solo, tho honestly i would have loved the actual solo in the middle and a bit more defined.

Well can't wait for the finished product that's for sure!

Hehe, thank you Malu! There's a bunch of influences – I've listened to lots music and I'm sort of glad it shows.
You're right about the solo guitar, and I will adjust it when I get my friends parts.

Description : Recently made available on Spotify+iTunes, my own Christmas present :) A mix of rock/electronic and an unexpected touch of ....spaghetti western? And a big thank you to the singer, amazing vocals :)
A bit of a long journey, quite tricky to mix and would benefit from some improvements.
As usual, any feedback is more than welcome, enjoy :)

Description : "Celebrate the Cornerstone," penned by Kay Matteson, John Matteson, and Richard Shekari, is an uplifting contemporary worship song that beautifully encapsulates themes of salvation and divine love. Drawing from biblical imagery, the lyrics highlight Jesus as the Chief Cornerstone—initially rejected but ultimately essential to faith.
