Hey Spyder!Thank you very much,Vicen is the Man and I'm just trying to branch out a bit but you know...rock in any language is still rock,wait..i'll google it.
música rock?
Somebody correct me if I'm wrong..if google is wrong.
I'll consult Vicen :)
Thanks Wayne,I'm still working on my guitar tones and I really didn't know what would work here cause Vicen is so awesome and you hate to do anything that would take away from his great style,but.....I did give him the final say in this :)
Thanks!We're both learning together.
I never recorded like this or collaborated until I joined this site last year.I appreciate the production comment,you know when I work with SpellJammer I can count on all of his parts to be of this quality...it makes my additions a lot easier and inspires me.
This is quite cool. :)
nice chilled slomo rock. nice fills from the guitar. it's a great arrangement and there are some incredible solos in this track! :)
a musical baby! :)
faved for sure!
p.s.: sometimes the solos are not perfect clean and sometimes more phrasing would be great. but who cares, it rocks as hell! ;)
Hey Glocke!I hear ya about the solos,this is kind of experimental for me,the ground is a little new and different.At timesI really didn't know what would work so we bounced ideas back and forth...quite a long bounce from here to Spain!
Nice guitar playing Allen. Vocals are outa sight. Took me a minute to realize the guitar is the only instrument playing. That's pretty impressive actually, that this track required only guitar and vocals and sounds perfect. Really a great job. Take it easy.
Gord
Thank you so much Gord,I really got inspired by Tacatta's vocal pella and inspiration for me is at least half of the equation.I sat down with his track loaded and played for a short while and it just worked..I hoped!
Thanks again for the comments,I do this for the love of music and sharing!
Oh,I have to add that the fact that his vocal could stand alone made me not want to take away from the feel of the song,so I followed his lead.
Really beautifully crafted track, love the guitar work here Allen, I can almost here a Don Henley / Marc Cohn-esque vocal on this! It really is superb quality.
Thank you Colin,We're always looking for the right vocals.SpellJammer came up with this song idea and played all keys and percussion...and produced his own parts,I just filled in the guitars where needed.
He brings his best to the table and I try to complement the meal and I'm proud to be part of this.
I'm glad you enjoyed it!
Hey thanks TommyQ,The complement goes to SpellJammer,I couldn't do any of this without him.
Thank you for the comment and please visit him...he's awesome!
I bow to you oh great master of the tele. This is great! You really got a lot of heart and soul in your playing! Are you mic'd (what amp) or straight interface (what DAW)... cause the amp sounds great...all thats missing is the buzzing (Fender joke).
Hey DJ...yes,believe it or not it is the Zoom G2.1u.I'll tell you,it's not my fx of choice but it's all I have and it's all in there if you turn enough knobs.
I play it direct into a Tascam dp-008 porta studio and then mix the tracks into Audacity out to mp3.
That's how I record everything.the recorder even has little built in mics for the acoustic stuff.
And I do have to work extra,extra hard to get rid of the hum :)
Cool DJ...Hey ,If you want to add anything to it...feel free,download it and it's yours!just thought It was one you would like, but it needs something...not quite complete.Thanks for your comment my friend!
Thank you Jcan...I play by ear and just follow the foundation that is given me and SpellJammer and Slap helped me build a nice house!
I appreciate your review of this and we hope to get Slap back in our tunes.
You and SpellJammer work great together,this is such a beautiful track,relaxing and full of energy (due to yours guitar playing)!
I better shut up and download this track and go back to listening hahaha... this is an exceptional track my friend!
This was a great listen! I'm with you...I do all this hip hop and other crap on here...but I play guitar and have yet to put up an actual acoustic thing! I'm gearing up to start doing acoustic loops (rock and blues). I like the beginning part and then when you double it up.....oh man! In the beginning I hear a whole different song that could use a 90's hair band flowing lead... you know the one, kinda like Great White. Nothing too heavy.
Nice showcase of your talents my friend! Favd n Saved!
Hey DJ!
I wish I could crank these out more but inspiration means everything when it comes to me and acoustic but reviews like this are very much inspiring and I hope to do more!
Hey,I referred to you in my end of the year challenge song..Up Late..I think you will get it :)
No lack of talent in you Allen. Such beautiful guitar playing. Got to be one of the best I've ever heard. I'm not really a jealous person but hearing this guitar playing makes me feel a little that way. Such a nice piece Allen. Keep posting. All the best in 2011.
Gord
Thank you Gord..I just play from my heart and share..I am pleased it impressed you but I didn't play for that reason,I play cause I love guitar and your review is what keeps me inspired to do more!
So that's why I appreciate your comments...I feel blessed,thank you so much again.
You're quite an Axeman, my friend, i love the free-wheelin aventgard soul-bearing lead, heaping with years of refined technique, not to mention the great sounding final mixdown.
Respect & appreciation, J.B.
I love the interpretation as free-wheelin Emann cause that's what it was about..not taking it too serious and having fun!
I appreciate this review and that you "got" it,
Yep Al, this is most def 80's bro. You nailed it. Transports me back to the days of Ferris Beullers day off, sixteen candles etc. Made me think of Jane Wiedlin - Rush Hour which is one of my favorite 80's tracks.
Ah...the 80's,such a carefree time D...I'm both blessed and lucky to have survived it though ;)
2011..here we come!...wait,that year difference just made me feel old for a second.......Ok,i'm fine now,but still old!
Thank you Vicen!We have some music to do ourselves,
I'm on it very soon..I love the track we did and more will follow soon I'm sure!
Thanks for your support.
Really enjoyed this Allen. Such easy listening. The sax does steal the show. Such excellent playing. Your perfect guitar playing and the other elements don;t go unnoticed. My hats off with much respect for three greats on this site. The best to you all in the new year. Take good care.
Gord
Gord!!!Sorry I missed your review.Thank you so much my friend,we love sharing these songs,i'm living a dream to play with these guys!
The best to you also!
