Falling Apart - BaoBou

25th May 2026 22:38 - 4 months ago
Description : This was originally a challenge on Threads, where user fud_leclerc more or less weekly posts a 4 chord challenge. This is based on one of those - I made it a bit more complex but I think it worked out.

The mission was to "make it sound like you're falling apart" - let me know if you think that worked.

Nice man. U use a doubler on the guitar at one point, or is it double tracked?
BaoBou
BaoBou replied 6th Jun 2026 - 4 months ago
It's double tracked. I first tweaked the main melody until I was happy and then played the second a fourth lower (I think that was the order) which I think gives it a very cool effect.

Man, Crucethus pretty much nailed it. It does remind me of Santana a little bit. And, that, my friend, is some high praise. This one is pretty awesome

BaoBou replied 6th Jun 2026 - 4 months ago
Santana, Knopfler, people have given insane compliments for this one. I'm so honoured!

I love that bluesy guitar intro. Such a sweet tone you have. Santana, like in some ways, my friend. Gave you a fav! 2:06 on was a unique chord progression.
BaoBou
BaoBou replied 6th Jun 2026 - 4 months ago
Ha, yes that chord progression was a bit of a risk. Took me some tries to find a melody that worked with it! :D
But I felt it was necessary to have a bridge that put the listener a bit on edge before going back to calmer waters.

Oh lol. Duh. I didn't read the bottom of the description. Maybe I'm falling apart because I wrecked my race car and it exploded. We'll go with that.
BaoBou
BaoBou replied 6th Jun 2026 - 4 months ago
Ooh man, hope you're ok. A racecar is expensive (and my favourite palindrome) but our bodies are harder to replace or find spare parts for.

Solid work man. I'm curious why it's titled "Falling Apart".
I have no idea why but I kept thinking about the movie Days of Thunder during this one lol. I think it's the guitar. Either way it's awesome.

Wonderful!

I love the sound of that guitar; it has such a realistic sound... I also really liked the subtle way the keyboard accompanies it in the background.
Pure feeling in your performance.
Congratulations.

Best regards, Juan Carlos

Well if it sounds like a real guitar then that's probably because it is ;) it's a Heritage 535 semi-hollow. It's my favourite :)

(I'm sure that's not what you meant, but for the avoidance of doubt, I play all instruments including the drums)

If you want to see it, you can see me play it here :)

Awesome track man. That guitar has such a beautiful melody all throughout. I also like the drums a lot, sounds crisp.
Great work. Keep it up.
BaoBou
BaoBou replied 6th Jun 2026 - 4 months ago
Thanks a lot man. It's all played live, but the drums I play on a midi set and then it's EZdrummer 3 that gives it the great sounds. Works better than the actual live drums I've recorded, weirdly enough!

Hey man, this is outstanding, pure electricity flowing from your strings straight to our hearts. It is unmistakably you, a signature piece. Not your usual style, but definitely BaoBou. I could listen to this song over and over just to savor the thrill of your guitar playing. Great stuff!
Best regards, Anthony

Description : A haunting acoustic journey through loneliness, isolation and the quiet desperation of wanting to be seen and understood. This is about feeling invisible in a world full of people, struggling with identity and confronting the painful contradictions between longing for connection and choosing solitude.

Description : I wrote this song nearly twenty years ago, and recently I had it enhanced by AI. The outcome was re-imported into a project where the original and the "new" version were blended to create a cool pop rock track with hints from the 60's. I really hope you will like it.
