Unbreakable (SpellJammer Collab) - AllenV

Thank you bN for taking the time to comment,this was a joy to play to!

AV

Thanks Spell!
Well,I met this guy with these awesome songs that I really wanted to play guitar on and with...wait,you know the story..... and I treasure you as a true friend also.

Hey laser,I like the way you think!It is about the sound in the end,isn't it and Yes,Steve is awesome!
I must tell you,I have to work quite a bit every time I get this sound.No Ebow but I do use my small finger to swell the volume as I hit the strings at times to get a similar effect,and talk about cheap...this and all my songs are done using the Zoom G2-1u,it's all I can afford right now and my computer doesn't like guitar fx programs.
I pushed all gain and distortion up all I could and added the delay so it does have that saturated sound I love,I just wish it was on command.I tweak the pedal so much when I'm working on a track and even if I save the patch it still sounds different every time...go figure!
Now I do use a LPB-1 EH nano power booster sometimes to pull that sound out but there's a thin line between sweet and over done,know what I mean,you can start to sound like a Big Muff if you go too far!
I'm afraid like a lot of others that I will be chasing tone forever.

Thanks for the review and inquiring about the sound..I wish I could say it was my excellent setup but it's just my ear and a lot of luck...and knob turning : )

Oh,I am 47yrs old so I've adjusted to this endless tone quest,and I record using a Tascam digi porta studio.

Thanks again!
Allen

Hey my friend,thanks for the great comment!

Allen

Thanks Alen,SpellJammer has some great song ideas and we seem to be working well together.
Thanks for checking it out!

Allen

Thank you very much Poet,..Do it my friend!

Allen

Thanks Bones..Spell has a special gift and I loved your version also!I really didn't know which one to use so I made both :)

I'm glad you felt it all worked together!
Allen

Thanks Estefano...we do hope to have an albums worth of material when we're done,it takes us a while to complete a song but we hope the care we put into will pay off...I hope to have songs of substance and emotion.
Thanks again my friend.

Allen

Thank you hiphoppriesthood!Check out SpellJammer if you haven't already,he has some great songs that I wish I could play on all!

Allen

Thanks so much John.Spell had the production done,which made this very fun to do.It is so rewarding when the song starts out as a favorite and then you get to play on it.
Thanks again for your comments my friend!

Allen

Hey Becca!Thanks...it was SpellJammers first and I stole it...but he didn't mind :)

Allen

Thanks Jim,He has some sweet music to play guitar with,it does feel comfortable because he just needs a lead instrument to complete his songs.
I'm glad you liked this,it wasn't planned...kinda like Heart To Heart,funny how those things can work out!

Allen

Thank you DJN,There really is no end to the great material for guitar on this site.I get frustrated sometimes when I want to create my own songs and have a hard time putting it all together so when it gets too much,I just do a little searching and find these great tunes,like yours and start playing...I love it and most on the site welcome additions of any kind so we all win!

Steve Lukather and now Satch...wow,thanks my friend!

Allen

Ahhh...just to be mentioned in the same sentence as Steve Lukather is enough to make my day.
Yea,I can't escape my 80s influence...cause I was there,so I have to just go with it lol.
Thanks again for the wonderful complement!

Allen

Hey Wayne!Thanks for listening to the song and you know what i'm talkin' about...you can only wait so long...lol..and it's not even my song!At least in SpellJammers case,he still has these songs separate also so if someone wanted to sing,there's still room and I could go back and just add a little lead.I'm afraid some of my own songs are too far gone in the instrumental world...lol.I haven't had vocals so everything I do,the guitar becomes them.A few songs posted I forgot to save the project so I would have to redo the whole song if someone wanted to add anything and I would of course.
Thanks again Wayne!

Allen

Thank you Jamie!I try to complement the song always and I've said this before,Spelljammer's songs lend themselves to guitar very well and make it easy.It's really nice to load up a song and play guitar knowing the hard part has been done...lol.Now the other tunes we've done together I contribute a little more but this one,Spelljammer had every thing else except a vocal or lead of some kind and I was happy to accommodate,with guitar that is :)
