Description : I heard this song by Frenchkid and wished I had played guitar on it,so with his blessing I did.This is not really a collaboration since it is all his original song and mix,I just added guitar.It was a pleasure to do this.Be sure to visit Frenchkid if you haven't already,he is very talented!
Thanks,
Allen

hello my friend,
Thank you so much!This was my first attempt adding guitar to another Looper artist's track.
It was so fun to do and came easy cause Frenchkid's song was so great and tailor made for some jazzy guitar.

Thanks for the review.

Thank you for so much of your time John!
This was when I first joined and found this song on Frenchkids page..he was very active then and I was just wanting to play on something in this style.
I played and recorded it before contacting him and he graciously allowed me to upload it.

Had to have another listen of some more of your work. Beautiful string work there. Very clean sweeps. Awesome tone. Hope your not the plug and play types. That would kill me lol. Such sweet tone. Has a Steve Lukather kinda tone. Kinda hollow but still maintains a good mid and highs. Just gave it another listen. It's just great to hear it. Got a Al Pitrelli vibe the second go. Really cool stuff. Great collaboration. I gotta check out Frenchkid's stuff aswell. Made my night. Cheers and thanks for the tune :D

Thanks again for listening to my tunes.I've said this before but never enough...I really do listen to the"song"when collaborating,it doesen't matter how many licks or how can I make it all about guitar.In this situation,I was the guest and as so I feel my role is to complement that song...even if it means playing just 3 notes...as long as it's the right notes all is good.In a nutshell,if someone says"this song sounds great"we all win...If someone says"song wasn't good but you sound great"then I failed,I coulda just done a 3min solo and not messed up the track cause it was fine before I came along.The tone complement is the same way...What works for this song...no one size fits all.
Did I say i'm glad you liked it:)

Thanks Estefano.I really wanted to play to this and knew it would pull it a little more to the jazz side.I just played along to his great track,sent it to him...kinda introducing myself,so I was pleased he allowed me to post it!

Thank you for the mad skills comment,when I joined this site a month ago I heard a song on here and the first line said"I want you to get mad"so I didn't have a choice!
Really,I do appreciate it.

Oh, how sweet you play. Somewhere, in the back of my mind Al diMeola lingers – and you've got that warm sound and clean notes. (I myself often play distorted, it's more forgiving...) In short, excellent work. Fav. Again.

AllenV replied Unknown - 2028 years ago
Thank you for the awesome complement,even to be mentioned in the same sentence as AD is more than expected and appreciated!I agree with the distortion comment...if only you knew how many times I played some of the parts to get it right.I don't know much about recording but I have learned the miracle of undo/redo and punch in/out and it still took me hours because as you know if your in the middle of a bended note or seamless passage and screw up even those tools can't always help you out,I just have to start over,and I did.I almost went with a Santana sound just so I could use distortion and slide into my comfort zone,but reviews like yours make the extra effort worth it.
Thanks again
