Description : A heavy-ish Rock track that has four main sections, melodic moments, a few soloing attempts in the hopes of continually getting better, and a rather quiet frog. All real guitars and basses played by me, with SD2 behind the kit. An organ, strings and a celeste make appearances. All critiques and criticisms are welcome. Let me know what you think and how it could be made better. Nice to post something again.

Hiya Evisma! I love the high energy of this track and the intensity of the guitars. At this juncture, you are probably gonna HATE me! LOL

I would let the song speak for itself and nix the soundbite. The organ/strings (0:29) sounds very 90's to my ear. I'd either drop it or replace it with real strings. I'd give the first transition a bit more punch, maybe roll the drums (1:27). The second transition I actually had to listen to several times before I got it; and when I finally got it...pretty damn awesome!

LovePeace&Light,

I fel that this is a giant release of energy from you. I'm not even going to critique what i heard yet, but just feel that emotionally you are letting off a lot of hidden steam.

Hey man, summer keep you busy? Sounds like someone's been practicing!

I do like what you were doing during the bridges, were you finger tapping the strings on the neck of the guitar or picking it? They were good changes that lead to built up guitar expressions that sounded pretty damn good if you ask me! Let it all out Evan, Hell Yeah!!

I knew a Celeste once. Didn't sound like her. Where do I send the check again? I'm a believer. ;)

Take care.

Greetings, Master Wayne.

Summer has kept me a bit busy. I've taken up bass fishing, which has become an unhealthy addiction.

Bridges were picked on an acoustic with my fingernail. They are very short, but I write nearly every riff fingerstyle on an acoustic, then assign lines to different roles. I've never gotten into tapping.

Give Celeste my warmest regards.

Take care.

This is so freaking good. The guitar tones are gorgeous, the transitions are bold, but well done and the riffs are inspired. Loving the bass sound as well. Oh and who doesn't love a good organ section.
Favourite bit has to be the break at 1:27 and the whole middle section. It's progressive, trippy goodness. It builds anticipation as we prepare for the next heavy section (which does not disappoint).
Definitely a fave!

Hey, Mr. Avalanche, I'm very glad you liked it. I hear a lot of issues with it, but I think that's everyone who creates their own music. Still, I really appreciate the kind words from someone I'm a fan of.

Take care

Pleasant greetings, Northern Licker.

You have been rocking and I have been listening.

Your money-hungry minister doesn't do a whole lot for me but it's short so doesn't matter. Rocking quickly starts and the riffs are instantly fairly compelling. Only problem is the drums. They're pounding away in a fairly nondescript manner until 0:48, when things get clearer and a bit more spacious. Maybe too much crash up till then. Hard to fault it but something is a bit off. Sorry I can't help more.

0:28 organ is a useful addition.

1:26 a bit of an abrupt change but what it goes into is nice. Twinkling celeste.

1:37 that's much more spacious. Nice toms. Things are clearer with less/no poundage going on. Lead starting 1:37 makes me think a bit of A Perfect Circle, as does that whole middle section. Best part of the track.

1:57 rumbling bass is warm and groovy. Lead g is decent.

2:30 your quirky little froh appears and then gets stomped on and blasted to the back of the rom but thrashing, soaring lead work. Maybe the end section and first section drums are lacking low end. Kick is hard to pick out. Maybe it's all too much cymbalage and that's creating a bit of a wall of punding drum noise.

Nice end section soloing. Except 3:29 ending is too abrupt.

3:22 to end perhaps remove that palm muted backing guitar. Let the delayed solo ring out. Try it and see.

This is good, progressive shit but simply needs a couple of better transitions and more work on two drum sections.

Static Flickermad, more than just a little curious how you're planning to go about making your amends to the dead.

Yo, latex licker.

Maybe the minister wasn't meant for you and doesn't want to do anything for you. Without a donation, you aren't of too much use to him.

Drums are always an issue for me. Im trying to get an old drummer friend of mine to get his E-kit working in the free key I gave him of StudioOne. Have him trigger some midi for me, though I should just use the pads on my midi controller.

I'll get in there and make some changes.

Evan, mistaking nods for an approval.

Good to see you back here again Evan, was missing you and wondering your whereabouts. I see you were busy and this new track is definitely worth the wait. I'm not sure of the intent with the intro sound bite but I am not a fan of many of these modern day televangelist's. But there are also some good ones that I do like very much. In regards to the music, I like the structure and the way you start this off with a bridge or chorus section before hitting more of a main line groove, which is pretty strong, I really dig it. Then we hit the bridge prefacing the next section with a real slick tempo shift. Man that mid section kicks off with some poly metered off beat stuff that is waaaay cool bro. The guitar and bass here is totally bitchin, I love it. I could have listened to a few more bars of that pretty easy. Another bridge and another progression with some nice lofty high register lead mixing delay effected slides and scales that guides it right to the creshendo ending. Wonderful man. Its a great example of progressive rock featuring some tremendous guitar and bass work. You could definitely make it different but making it better might be pretty tough. At least in my opinion !

Greetings, Mr. Morpheus.
I appreciate the kind words. I've been sitting on this one and a few others for a while. A lot of failed continuations and redos.
As for the soundbite, I only have issues with spiritual leaders who are clearly taking advantage if their followers. The guy in the soundbite was telling people to write hot checks to prove their faith. This particular guy was really bad. There are a lot of community and fellowship-minded churches that I believe have very positive effects. This guy is not one of them.

I hope all is well with you.

Evan

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.
