Description : Been a log time since I was able to create a new tune because of so much overtime at work....I had to just stop making music. But now with retirement for sure on Mar. 31, I'll have more time for music for sure.

This new tune I called 'Gunga Din', is a heavy rock sort with tight drums and added synth in the background to give it a growling sound that fits. The song is made up of various loops I liked and my own playing as well. Two different guitars and various guitar tones and effects were used....and a little experimenting with harmonics.
So give it a listen and see what you think.
Thanks,
Randy

If you would put vocals on your tracks they would be better than the vast majority of full on main-stream. Amazing as usual. FAv.

Hi ya Firebird,

Thanks for your review of Gunga Din. I appreciate any and all comments. As for vocals, yes you are correct. How many instrumentals have made it in the world?
Not many memorable ones that I can think of. Vocals would be great and I could work the leads around them, but I haven't had too many volunteers to do vocals as I can't sing myself.
Anyways, thanks for your input

Hi Randy - Master of Rockguitar !
It is kind of the genious "classic" Hard Rock style of the early 80´s - you did a a genious guitar tuning and the background effects are perfect with it.

Like it very much !

Hope to hear more from you in this genre - excellent!

best regards,
Franky

Hello Franky,
Ha Ha, can't say as I am a master of the rock guitar myself as there are many out there that can run rings around me. But, I enjoy doing the best I can in the amount of time I have.
I appreciate your comments and am happy that you enjoyed the song.

I see you don't have any tracks up yourself so I can't hear any of your music. I would say jump in and have some fun making music. There are free programs out there that will at least get you started.
Thanks again for your comments,
Randy

Hey Randy, what joy to hear you again. Rock hard, to start the concert. Well structured and restrained, with electrifying rhythms ... Now the show can begin ... and end of the track, I wanted more ...

Hey Randy, nice to hear a new track, this is a rocker in the true meaning of the word! The mix is great, all the guitars stand out and the playing is very tight, what more could you ask for!

Hi ya Wayne,
Good to hear from you as well. I really missed not doing any music since last April. But work tired me out with over 1150 hrs. of overtime last year. I am working 12 hour shifts now as before they were 8 hour shifts. I won't be working much longer anyways. (But I did keep practice up)

I appreciate your comments very much along with all the other reviewers here.

I'll get over to your page, and also the others here and catch up on what new songs you all have put out.
Later....and thanks!
Randy

Hello there Allen,
Glad to hear I can still help fire you up some. :)

I will make more tunes in the coming months and I'll still do a variety of rock, country and Blues.
So I hope anything I do will help inspire you and others to do the best you can, and still have fun.

Thanks,
Randy

Yeah, I've been waiting for a tune!Heavy and brutal. The only thing is that I think the guitars are slightly too loud or the drums slightly too low.
But, I think what you do is totally awesome. Sir, you shown us how it's done.

/pmk

A fav of course.

Hi there Kikajon!
Thanks for being my first reviewer. I appreciate your comments very much. As far as the drums, they are the same volume throughout, except possibly at the very begining when the solo starts.
So I would say that the guitars volume is the difference your hearing.
Working with different guitars I have and the tone settings I wanted for the parts made them seem louder as well.

Thus sometimes I felt that a guitar part needed to shine thru and not get lost in the mix and so I did make some a little louder.
So thanks for mentioning that. I'll try and do better mixing on the next one so they will blend in more, but still stand iout.

Thanks again,
Randy

Description : Smokey little semi-blues, dub(ish) thing. This was the most recent render of a track I hadn't really quite finished off my old, now defunct laptop. I lost some plugins so on the new rig it it doesn't load like it used to. So not sure I'll come back to it. Pseudoble played some synth and provided the trumpet sample. Music made by humans.
