Description : This is a 'Bo Diddley' type rhythm tune. The drums are loops. The rest is me.
Took awhile to put this one together. In playing the faster lead parts...I had to practice them at half speed to get the chops down, and recorded them at an octave lower. Then when put back in at regular tempo, they came out fine. (Just a little trick)
Hope you like it,
Randy

Hello Sob Story,

Glad to have you check out my tunes. I appreciate the review as well and will checkout your songs and give a review back. At the moment, I am about 2 weeks behind because of work. It is 2:45am now even.

The guitar distortion can be achieved via several ways. To get the type of amp sound you want, Line6 company has RTAS or VST software that you can get with hundreds of combinations of ampfliers and speaker cabs and all kinds of effects combined in any order. Cost about $99.

Much better sound than you can get at home with your own amp....plus you don't keep the neighbors awake. :-)

Also, EQ and Compression will do a lot for distortion sounds.

Thanks again,
Randy

Hello there mandarosa,
Hey...thanks for stopping by and checking out some of my tunes. With so many members on here, it is really hard to go thru them all.
I appreciate your comments very much and will check out one of your tunes right after I write this and give a review on it.

I've always liked the Bo Diddley type of beat, so I made one similar, but faster and added in various guitar parts that I liked. Thus the big variety of sounds and some effects like phasing.

The intro doesn't sound like it should be with this tune, but I liked it and put it in anyways. Was done with lots of delay and reverb.

So anyways, thanks again for giving me a review.

Just listening to the new ACDC album, and while I'm happy to see them recording, their stuff is nowhere near as exciting and as fresh as this tract is. Thank you for this.

Hi Art,
I appreciate your kind words, putting me up against ACDC! I haven't listened to any ACDC in a long time myself.

In fact, I haven't boughten any CD's in several years.
Usually if I hear a song I like, I will download it off itunes for .99 cents, that way I don't have to pay big bucks for the whole album.
Music videos are $1.99 is all, no matter the length.

Last couple songs I ordered, were Edgar Winter's 'Frankenstein', and Steve Vai's 'Horsie'

That is where I got part of the idea for my intro. Great videos as you can see them play the song and learn a lot that way too.

I'll review some of your songs here shortly...so thanks again for your review,
Randy

Hi again Gerard,
Thanks for reviewing this tune. As you know, it took me nearly 2 months to do this one as well as the Swamp one. I try and be a well rounded musician, but my heart lies with Country, Bluegrass, Rock and Blues.

I haven't done any Bluegrass lately, but am thinking about it as well as another country song.
I haven't played my Banjo in a long time, so I better get it out of the closet. :-))))

Bye and thanks for the good words.
Randy

I really like hearing how this started and how it has progressed.
Great tones.
I like how this is quite possibly 4 songs in one, but its an awesome medley and testament to Bo Diddly!
I still loooove that pull-off outro.
I am soo stealing that trick too hehe...

Hi Abe,
Thanks for leaving me a review here and you know I appreciate you giving me some ideas and suggestions. I decided to leave out the double bass part as I decided it was a little too muddied.

Later up.

Hi again Blair,
Glad you got to listen to this rock tune as well. As you already know, I try and do my best and turn out quality, more than quantity.

Thanks for reviewing and listening. I'll get to review your songs as well once I get these reviews done that people left while I was out of town for a few days.

Description : At last I found some time to create something I'd never done before. I made up my mind to mash up tracks by some artists from Looperman and here it is!
Tracks and samples used:
JAI26 - "LM Jam"
PaperKup - "Going"
Pnnywze - synths and drums
Piano, some percussion, VOX chops, arrangement, FX, mixing and mastering by me.
Huge credit goes to JAI26, PaperKup, and Pnnywze for their awesome original tracks and great playing that came together perfectly!

Description : Reworked track, with different acapella and drums. I tried to preserve the acapella original intonation, but the track sounded terrible, so I had to resort to a pretty extreme shift (I won't be mad at ChePaxin if they ask to take this down lol).
