Listen To 12 String Gone Wild Rock Song By Randall822 | Looperman

Hi ya Daniel,

Thanks for stopping by and listening to this 12 string track I put together. It has been up quite awhile, but new songs dissappear off the front page in a matter of minutes sometimes.
So thank goodness for the 'Featured' section as many of my songs see new life.. ;-)

The 12 string...which is a newer Fender Strat model as shown in my pics, is the one I used. I used to have a 1967~ version with the hockey stick end headpiece on it. Now that baby would be worth $5k today if I still had it. You know how early on, your trading this and that...

I may have already listened to your acoustic 12 string...if not, I will certainly listen to it and give a review back...or a different tune for sure.

When I put together that tune, it was just a mish mash of sounds I had in my head I wanted to hear. So that is why most of the sections are short.

Then I got crazy and rev'd it up towards the end.

So I plan on adding more 12 string in ....in the future. At the moment I am trying to work my 2 korg keyboards in to my music for the extra variety they can give me.

I am working 12 hour nights now without any time off for about 35 nights more....so no music is getting made at all. I have to sleep during the day best I can.

later pal,
Randy

Hi there Acrylic,
Thanks for reviewing the 12 string song. I appreciate your comments. The drum set I decided to use was a double bass set. Made more for heavy metal, but I like the sound of them and wanted to try out a milder set of them that I had on a disk.

So I did and only a few complaints about the drums, and also not being loud enough in the mix as you also said. I am learning 'Pro Tools' and am making tunes as I flip the pages so to speak, and thus, didn't know a whole lot about how to do mastering, but I am still learning.

Thanks for your comments. I'll check out one of your songs here as well.

Hi there,
Say...thanks for reviewing my 12 string track. I had fun making it and you don't see that many 12 string files/tracks around.
I'll be sure to check out your song(s) very shortly and give you a review back.
Thanks again,
Randy

Hey there Korner,
Thanks for stopping by and reviewing my 12 string medley. I hadn't seen any other 12 string music on here.
It was just some pieces in my head that I put together and I figured I'd post it and see if people would like it. Most seem to so I am happy about that.
I haven't reviewed any of your songs yet, but will before the end of the day. Thanks again I appreciate your review.
Randy

Hi there Abe,
Glad you got around to check out my other songs. I only have 5 songs done at the moment as I work alot.
On this 12 string, I tuned it down to a 'D' chord as it is easier on the neck and finger pressure is less... and just capo it up to wherever I want it.
It is a newer one, so no problems with tuning.
I don't have a name for the guitar actually.

As for the drums, I wanted to try a double bass drum set and it seemed to fit okay. I liked the sound, but double bass or kick is made for heavy metal usually. A lot of 'click' to it.
Thanks for the review,
Randy

Hello SEROKSATY from afar!
Thanks for reviewing my latest venture here of the 12 string Electric guitar. Just pieces I put together of the chords/rhythm I liked.
I am glad you liked it and will review one of your songs here today in return.
Bye for now,
Randy in NY

Hi there Six.....
Say, nice to hear from you and I do really appreciate your all your comments. Your correct about how I need to be doing more with a song.

There happens to be a lady up the road from me who sings, so I may connect with her and do an actual song! Now that will be fun.

Some here don't like the drum set I used. (Double kick). What do you think about it? I love the sound myself, but do hear it more in heavy metal.

I think it fits if you use the right tempo selected for what you are doing. I haven't heard it used much on tracks here, but then again, I don't have time to listen to every song that comes out here.

As for the 'clean clear sound' I get, I plug in direct and rarely mic anything. Then use effects to get the tone I want.

Thanks again for your review. I'll get to listen to more of yours and the others on here over this weekend.

Well hello Blair.
I appreciate you listening and reviewing onother one of my songs. Guitar is what I started on, then Bass, and then Pedal Steel.

Whatever sound I was missing in my band that I really wanted to hear, I went out and bought a good instrument and learned to play it so I could use it in my own band at the time.

As you probably already know, I learned 5 string bluegrass banjo that way, and Dobro was a shoe-in as it is sort of like my Steel guitar...without the pedals and less strings. My steel is a double neck with 10 strings each.

Then I bought a Fender Rhodes electric piano and later a Wurlitzer electric piano for some songs that used those sounds. But on the keyboard, I was lame as I just chorded mostly.

Then eventually I got an ELKA synth for string effects. So I suppose it depends on how badly you want a sound.
I've have a good job so it was easier for me to get the things I wanted. However, once I got married, I had to s-l-o-w way down. :-)
Thanks again for the nice and gracious comments.
Randy

Hello there Vicious_monkey!
Well,I don't believe I've had the pleasure of listening to one of your tracks yet....but I will do so this weekend I can assure you.

Yeah, this was a medley as I call it, as it wasn't a real song like you'd hear normally. So I just put together some chords and rhythm and did about 8 bars each in the first part of what I liked to hear.
Then I added in the Guitar & Bass by itself so you could hear it without anything...sort of raw.

As for the drums, I found a large set of double kick drums and I like that sound, so I added them in, and I felt it fit nicely.
I think double kick/bass is made for heavy metal, but...again, it was my choice.

I have everything separated out so I can give you just the Guitar and Bass. I will contact you via your profile page and send them along as a mp3 shortly. OK?
If you post your results on here, I would just appreciate a comment/credit as to where you got them from. :-)
Thanks for your review and comments,
Randy

Hi Planet,
Thanks for your review and comments. I appreciate you taking the time to listen to it and am glad you enjoyed it.

The 12 string I used was a newer Fender Strat 12 string. If I took off the extra 6 strings, it would sound like, and 'look' like a regular Strat.

The old hockey stick style I did own at one time and foolishly sold it. Now they are bringing in over $4,000.
Thanks for your input,
Randy

Hi djshade,
Thanks for listening to my latest venture. I appreciate your comment very much.
I used a set of drums that included a double bass/kick as I love that sound and decided to use it on this medley.
Thanks again,
Randy
