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!
Thank you GG!You know the song was morphin' as I played it before I hit record...I didn't have anything planned but the main beginning riff in E and just let the song dictate itself,sometimes I get lucky...sometimes:)
Cant stop listening to this my friend. You are such a gifted and inspirational artist. Thank you so much for being you and sharing your talents my friend. I am truly in love with both your playing and you as an individual. I quite literally feel god each time i hear this piece! Breathtaking!
Hey Kikajon!Are you rested and tanned?Thanks for stopping by my friend and having a listen...I can't seem to escape the 80's but i'm coming to terms with that:)
Thank's and looking forward to the new music brewing!

Allen you just keep getting better and better, if that is possible, you are extremely talented already, but you seem to keep on growing, which is so good to see. again excellent playing, seems so refreshing this track, and very relaxing, seems to take you on a journey, another fav coming your way mate,Ty for sharing your talent here on the Loop....Peace and massive respect...Estefano....
Thanks Estefano!I do hope I am growing,we all encourage each other here and that does make a difference...you also have to explore new music and genres sometimes as an artist to expand...but the payoff is well worth the effort,it's not always a great song but growth in itself is a good thing.In my case the change between acoustic and electric guitar forces the issue.
Thanks again for your review.
Mate this is a great piece of guitar playing, yep you can tell with this one you were having fun doing this one, seems to jump out that it was fun, great beat, love everything about it, excellent work once again my friend...Fav'd...Estefano....
Thank you Estefano...it is nice to just play around and come up with something that works...sometimes I think I try too hard with my own songs and miss the point...fun.
Thanks again.
Allen
Thanks WhiteSands!I had a great partner on this song,that makes all the difference and i'm glad you liked what we did.
I actually came up with a small part of the melody after Spelljammer sent me a short vocal demo so I used that as my guide...maybe next time I'll get him to sing!
We appreciate your review.
Thank you my friend!That's quite a show goin' on over there...I think we're all gettin'something good from it!
Spelljammer and I seem to have this smooth link and I'm glad it can be heard.
Thanks again...be chattin' with ya!
Allen
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!
I have pleasure to hear this track before you upload on looper, its really honor when such artist as you, put my drumloop on this great track, great guitar playing as always!
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.
You are an amazing guitar player!! I mean it, when I grow up I want to be as good as you!! This is really a well constructed song and I enjoyed every second of it.
What a great complement Humps!I wish i could say I have a million of these ideas...I did say I wish..lol.
It does make it more special when it does come together tho..
I'm finally starting my new job tomorrow so things are better.I hope your taking care of yourself and feeling well.
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!!
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.
Allen
You write really beautiful music. I can't even describe exactly what I'm thinking - but they do what they need to do and paint a picture for me. I have a lot of rock influences as well and you're very talented when it comes to bringing your own feel to other genres. Awesome. =)
Thank you dalisbeats!When it comes to guitar,I always try to do what's best for the song.
I appreciate your comment about painting a picture.Even though Spelljammer had the original idea, he put his song in my hands and I'm pleased you could hear my devotion to what he started and I tried to complement his vision...and we do communicate well,that helps!I do think it's great to have different influences...you just need to kmow when and where to use them,so I strive to get it right:)
Thank you again for listening.
allen this is fricken dope i get caught up in my own form of music, and i forget the beauty of simplicity.. u rocked this track.. thank u for bringing me back to good ol music bro
Thanks man!That's a great complement...I forget too in my"wanting to jam everything up"mode I get into all the time.lol,I appreciate that you appreciate:)
Allen
I like this track alot, the hi hats sound a bit too trebly on my end the bass drums could use tad more low frequency responce to them. The guitar tone sounds perfect. Very good in terms of musicality and creativity. I like how the piano and guitar feed off each other. Great track!
Hey thanks Purge!It's good to hear how it sounds on the other end,I'm almost always through headphones so I don't get the whole picture sometimes.SpellJammer had the piano down first and I followed him... and he knows what he's doin' so that made it easy.
Thanks again for your review.
Allen
Another great track man, you are just unbelievable, love this track going to fav it. I knew I was going to love this in the first 5 seconds of the track. It great and love the harmonics thrown in. Keep it up and thanks for sharing this.
Thank you IWE.You are too kind with your review...and of course it means a lot.I did this the same way as the other acoustics,it really is an inspired process so there's a night set aside for the these songs and a lot of other ideas played before one sticks.I am pursuing the acoustic more and more as it is...to me...more personal.
Thank you again for all your kind reviews.
Allen
WOW!!! This song has been superbly arranged. This is stunning Al. This would make a brilliant cinematic piece. Once again the chords are simply breathtaking. That pad and the voice is haunting as well. Master-class Al. Master-class....
Thanks SpellJammer.Ypur complements are appreciated.I had the song finished,which was just a few acoustic guitars when I found the intro/outro and it fit with what i felt the song was saying,we both know a little can add a lot.I would like to do more of this...as I learn how:)
Allen
Allen you are gifted! Great job on the recording of the acoustic,it has such a nice sound.Beautiful work!I Thought the way you led in, and kind of faded out with the synth was a nice touch.
Thanks a lot Jim!I have a few of these acoustic ideas and am trying to add some intro/outro stuff to keep it from being just another acoustic song...there's only so much I can do with them without vocals....hmm.:)
Thank you again Jimmy and i'll talk to you soon.
Al.
lovely intro to this, and great track throughout man.. love this gotta fav this bad girl. Yes i see this song as a nice chick walking on the beach wind in her hair catching the rays with her beauty.. thanks for the image peace
Thanks Chris,it was actually very relaxing and therapuetic to play...I do like your imagery.
SpellJammer has a talent for these mood altering songs...I'm just fortunate enough to play on them.
Thanks agin for checkin' it out.
Allen
Dude another brilliant collab by you, matey you are so brilliant on the guitar, this is one of those piece's you could listen too over and over and not get bored with it, very refreshing piece, lovely piano, crystal clear, arrangement spot on matey, loving everything about this piece, great collab by 2 very talent peoples,fav'd...Peace and respect...Estefano....
Thank you Estefano,I appreciate your kind comments.I think it has taken me many years to use wisdom as much as ability when it comes to collabs,and I give credit to these wonderful artists and their original song ideas that are my inspiration.I'm just now at this point in my life being able to play out every musical dream i've had.Where else in a three month period can you play rock in Croatia,RnB in South Africa,reggae in Sweden,Trance in Germany,jazz in France and whatever I did with NickQ in the UK...lol, and never leave your home town.
There is a cleshay about surrounding your self with good musicians and there's a reason it's a cleshay...it's true!
Thanks again,
Allen
Damn!You guys are a perfect compliment to each other.Both the guitar and piano were absolutely beautiful!Thats the kind of track that just takes me somewhere else.
Thank you Tacatta!It's been quite fun going from Transatlantic rock to the other end of the musical spectrum...keeps me on my toes to say the least!SpellJammer has quite a way with that smooth crisp sound.
Thanks again Jimmy,
Allen
Oh my friend, thank you for sharing such an inspirational and touching piece of magic and artistry with us. Words cannot express how beautiful this song is. Those chords are simply amazing.
Thank you my friend for those kind words.I wish every song would fall into place like this one did but that's what makes me appreciate the blessing when it does happen.When I'm alone with just the guitar and I realize i'm not really alone...thats where the blessing comes in.
