Was fun reading through all the comments from members who no longer visit the site. I enjoyed hearing this track! I thought that the outro did sound very much fusion. All around something I can get into listening too. I dig the Zoom stuff too, and still use their drum machines pretty often. Saw a multiFX from Zoom at a pawn shop the other day for $29, and it was very hard not to buy it... looked a bit beat up though. Just makes me wonder if it's the same one you were using on this track. I like the tone you tuned in! Fun listen, and I hope to hear some new stuff posted up here from you!

Hi Allen.

You and your son match up great. And yeah, it's adds an extra dimension when collaborating with your kids. Passing on music to the kids is a good thing that becomes even better when they want to do music with dad. It's a sweet feeling.

This track sounds great and I love that ripping solo – fits in perfectly.

Thank you from my son and myself.It was a little scary when we first talked about it cause I didn't know what to play on it..it didn't sound like van halen so it took a few takes lol, but I think i'm out of my box a little more now because of it...sometimes

Great father and son collaboration. Your son has some great engineering on this. I tripped out when it slowed down and went kinda half time. Awesome guitar playing on your part man. Good crunch and some great highs on there. Zoom modules are always overlooked but some great industrial music has been made with them, and outside of industrial also. Goes to show talent cant be replaced by technology. Cheers to your son and you. :D

Thank you so much MCHN.My Son has a new baby now and we haven't done anything in a while but we will.Seems like yesterday when he was just a little looper!That Zoom pedal...we have a love hate relationship goin on.If i'm really careful and turn the right knobs it treats me ok but one wrong move and the sound is gone,people say"you use a Zoom?"and I say it's what I have and if you mess with it long enough you just might find a good sound there...just be sure to save the patch...twice.Thank you for the kind words.

Aside from the song i think the whole bridging the gap of distance and age with your son via music is cool as hell, the song is pretty good too i like the dark funk feel, this definatly has a little bit of a underlying sinister feel about it!

Thanks for listening,yes it's fun to make music with the boy,we just need to do it more often.He gets credit for the song.I'm glad you caught the dark funk vibe.

Hi Allen

Firstly congrats on doing a stunning piece with your son, hope that you both can have more collabs, and post here on Looperman,This is one very enjoyable listening, plenty going on, but all working so well together, nice guitar work my friend, poss could have fitted into a couple of genre's this one, rock maybe, synths are very nice, dont mind the drop that was mentioned in other reviews, seems to suit the track,thank you for sharing Allen...Fav'd...Peace and respect mate...PS have new tracks up now myself, one little diff but hoping you still enjoy...Cheers Estefano...

Liked your stuff so much I had to come back for another taste. Keeping in the family..now that is awesome. A father & son team. I am actually teaching my 4 year old to play guitar on a Fender half pint size guitar. Nice progressive sound on this track, guitar work is fantastic. I love the progression, very unique and original. 11/10 (One extra point for doing a song with your son.) - Bilbozo

Thanks Bilbozo.I know I would not have done a song like this without him,we did the song right before I joined this site and I'm now glad I had it to share.I think the time I spend on this site has been good for me,encourages me to climb outa Eddie Van Halens back pocket.

Thanks!my son gets the song credit,I just showed up and played guitar.We were wondering how this song would work since he already started it as a complete electronic song.I told him to just leave me a little room to play.It's hard for me not to sound like I'm a guitar player from the 80's,cause I am!
Thanks for the listen,maybe I shouldn't tell my age but you could hear it anyway!

Thanks so much,I kinda got lucky again,I had no clue what to do on his track so I jammed on it till it felt right,but thats what I do anyway!That Zoom g2.1u pedal...every time I upgrade to digital guitar fx I spend so much time trying to make them sound like my old analog ones..go figure!
Thanks again

Excellent track my friend. Even better because its father and son. I've done one collab with my son, Funny Games. Well sort of collab. We put some stuff together then went our separate directions.

The guitar in your track is awesome but there is some kind of fault between 1:30 and 1:45, the music just dips. Anyways, beside that, this is a really sweet piece.

Congrats to you and your son.

Hey John,If what your talkin' about is the whole song dipping around 1:43 my son did it Intentionally.When I sent the track back to him he added some changes like that,He's been experimenting with electronic music for a while now.The track I recorded to was straight forward.I am old school he is new so all I did was play guitar to his track,it is different for me.My motto is "I may not know what you want but i'll try not to make it sound bad"
Thanks for checkin' it out.

I really enjoyed the tune,The guitar solo was really tastefull.
The drums were on the song and interesting,I was,nt crazy about the overall open room sound on the drum track. I think a tight metal power house sound with a ballsy closed room sound snare might have made the track more over the top,But really all around and really good track.Good deal

I appreciate your review.How it came to be was he has all these songs he has already started or finished to stand alone and I'm just learning to loop,so i just had him send me something to play guitar with,not sure what would work.I think now that we have are feet wet we'll dive in.
thanks.

You never know what to expect but in this case he delivered with this emotional and wonderful vocal performance. Thanks and much respect to him. LM wouldn't let me insert his U-Tube or Spotify links but I'm sure if you seek you will find.
