I dig the sticks in the intro.
Laid back groove with a nice rhythmic push and pull from the rhythm guitar.
What are you using for dirty leads through this?
I like the backing guitars growl and the drums seem to fit well. Good stuff.

It's funny you say that about the sticks intro. I have been going through old tracks I have left on my computer and I constantly felt like I need to revisit JamStix again for my drums. They have a certain realistic feel you just can't get with AD or EZ Drummer.
I pretty much use the same thing for all my guitar and bass sounds. Guitar Rig 5 I believe it is. Lots of great sounds in there.

Thanks for the listen and the feedback. Always much appreciated.

Super cool self-jam session here! I was happy to visit your profile and notice something uploaded this year!

I thought the guitar tones were pretty sweet, and your playing style was flowing and enticing as usual. I think you were born to make music like this!

I can't help but wonder about the title, as in if it was put in place before uploading, or if it had some long ago reference. It could mean different thing at different times to different people. I like that in a song!

thank you for sharing this!

Hey, Spiv. Thanks for giving it a listen. I did upload it this year but it is an older project I found on my computer. This is the kind of music I kind of gravitate towards. Bluesy rock is what I was raised on. If I remember correctly the title came from the fact that I had been working on this track for awhile and it was a long time coming till it was completed.
I plan on uploading some newer stuff soon. I have been working on getting better at singing as I am constantly told my music works better with vocals. I don't know any singers so I have to try and get it done myself.

Thaks again.

Hi Topvega,

On the strength of this bluesy rock song, I'm listening to all your tracks on Looperman. Much like Neomorpheus said, this takes me back to playing in a live band (and getting paid next to nothing, but I wouldn't trade the experience for the world). I'm marking this as a fave, because it speaks to my heart. Gotta shake a tail feather on this. Great job.

Thank you very kindly. Always nice to get some great feedback on a track. Most of my tracks are Rock with a few pop and an occasional wild card.

Thanks again.

Great find man ! Its really fresh and raw sounding. This brings back so many memories of playing in bands. Kind of like when the guitar player starts it off with "hey check out this new riff I came up with", and then the other guys will jump in and you end up jamming on it for 10-15 mins. And then its usually forgotten. Is this you and a band or what? Cool track bro, I dig it.

Thanks, Neo. This is me on Guitar (rhythm and lead), Bass and Keyboard. Drums are Jamstick.
It was pretty much the process you described. I came up with the guitar riff and changes and then just went back in and improvised the lead and Organ. Bass was just played like the rhythm track, nothing fancy. I had just started out on bass after playing the guitar for years.
I appreciate the listen and the kind feedback.

Cheers.

Description : (26/50) D#nm - 180 bpm

Most of you know that I don't take myself seriously; I experiment, I just wing it, I don't care much about standards, and I don't care if the music industry takes me seriously, I'm just having fun. This is another one of those tracks where I turn everything upside down, an absurd story in a fast techno beat.

Only 1 sample used: Explosion-sfx by cbbk (2024).

Put on your dancing shoes and enjoy!

Description : I wanted to create a Punjabi euro dance anthem. The vocals are in Punjabi fused with mainstream Western dance music. Hope you enjoy this! Welcome to Punjabi - Dance Culture! The beat is proper Euro dance - hip hop which is a new genre in itself. Let'zzz gooooo!

Description : I continue the hybrid procedure of creating music. This is a relatively recent song of mine that after the in DAW processing it was used as a prompt with certain guiding choices to AI machine. What was produced was di novo imported into the DAW to be blended with the original recording. It ended to a long music piece which I believe can be of interest to the listener. I hope you will enjoy this listen. I think Rocking Ambient describes well the genre.

Description : Hard cinematic trap beat sampled from the iconic Turkish TV series "Ezel" soundtrack. Built with heavy 808s, sharp hi-hats, and a dark, dramatic atmosphere. Perfect for hard-hitting rap vocals and storytelling.
