Description : This is what I like to play when I jam.A rock mixture that's just fun and a combination of some of my old influences.One of the reasons I love to collab is it pulls me out of this temporarily...not that I don't love it...it's just every original rock song would sound like this one...but I'm growing cause' of my new influences here and hope to keep mixing it up.The drum loop was provided by my good friend 9Rihter,the rest is all guitar and bass.
Thanks friends.

Hello Allen,

I decided on this rock song for my review as you know I love rock.

At first impression, it sounds really very nicely done. The bass part is a little boomy on my system, but not a real problem.
In mastering my songs at my friends studio, he's always rolling the bass off my songs. I also play Bass guitar and love heavy bass and drums myself.

Here the drums are right on, so your friend did a great job with them. Your guitar playing is very good and tastefully done. Doubt that I could ever match it, esp. as I get older! I like the different sounds you get out of it.

So all in all Allen, I like your song, and I should to listen to many more, as I see you also do Blues.
Take care and thanks for sharing Allen.

Thanks Randy,I do use cheap headphones to mix which can be a problem bass wise.
One interesting think about the drums is that his loop was faster but when I slowed it down,the character changed into a more rock loop which I needed.Also I used all my tutoring from my 26yr old son to add a extra bass drum and the simple snare hits you hear.

Thanks again Randy,I love your reviews cause your're not just a listener but a member of the guitar club!

Hellz Yeah!!! My first and only fav on this site so far! Just makes me feel alive... and that's from an old head bangers perspective... ya know! Like the stuff WE used to listen to... Scorpions, VH, Iron Maiden, Poison n the hair band (now receeding hair band)stuff. You remember em to Allen I can tell! I love the shift/bridge around 3:40. And the anvil was perfect!

This my friend is f'n awesome!!!!haha this drum beat is perfect for that solo you did (which i was greatly impressed, i am a young Yngwie Malmsteen and i know a good guitarist). That solo was awesome!! This song morphed into something great and you should be proud of this piece, keep rockin' man, ill keep an eye out for future tracks!

Hey Allen.
This sounds like a great jamsession. Really easy, but funky riffs with a dirty sound. Cool, laidback drumloop from 9Rihter aswell.
More of this :)

Thank you so much Steinaa!You know how as a guitarist the things you have the most fun playing without giving much thought can sometimes translate to listeners,I do think people can tell when your having a good time,even if they can't see you.
Thanks for the review,I am a big fan of your music so it means a lot!

AllenV replied Unknown - 2028 years ago
Thanks my friend,I cranked your loop up and let her rip!I had the volume up when recording with my headphones and that beat sounded like a hammer after playing for a couple of hours so I had my title!
Thanks for helping me out.

This smokes, kinda King Swamp feel to this, very cool track Allen. Is that your tele you are playing? If it is it sounds great! I love the leads around 3 min, sick playing!! haha Great beat as well. Gonna dl and fav this, too cool!!

AllenV replied Unknown - 2028 years ago
Hey Wayne!Thanks and yes it is the Tele,it's the only electric I have at the moment,so I've had to learn to be versatile...but a lot of times it's just the way you approach the song for myself and not so much the instrument.20yrs ago I thought teles were just for country,matter of fact I spent half a year in Nashville and the leader of the band I joined said"Son,if your gonna make it in this town you gotta get rid of that Kramer with the whammy bar and get yourself a Telecaster"so I did and no I didn't make it...but I did fall in love with the guitar..lol
Thanks again Wayne.
