on Time For Change - SpellJammer Collab by AllenV
I have listened to most of your tracks really nice.
Your Guitar playing is great.
People do not understand that you have to play Fender Strats and Telecasters to get this tone.

Thanks midiman,
I'm so pleased you enjoy my guitar parts.
You're right that the guitar makes a big difference.
It's all about the right tone in the end...no matter what guitar you use.
I was a die hard Les Paul fan for quite a few years and the only reason I switched was a trip to Nashville we made in the 90's and all the country musicians were playing Teles but I soon found out how versatile the instrument really is and for proof...yes all my tracks were recorded with it...even the rock tunes.

Thank you for taking the time to listen,it means a lot!

Allen.

Rock solid performance as usual my friend! I wanted to go and bleach my jeans, put on a pair of neon cycling shorts and grab a boom box. This is reminiscent of those great 80's guitar tracks and solos. LOVE IT!!!!! You really tore into this track AL. Twanna is her usual brilliant best! Love it my friend! Bravo!

Hey Allen

Mate wow

This is brilliant, I have come across a few people using Patrica's pella', she is extremely talented, when I hear her sing reminds of Beyounce but better, heard a piece by Richie using one of her pella's, it was brilliant so I know why you got him to add vocals to this, very impressive track, hey you would expect it with some of my all time fav loopers when they collab on a track, this is proof...fav button need here, Peace Mos formly ELSD...

Hey BM!
Thanks for the comments!
The more Van Halen the better.I fought my 80's influence for a while but realized that's where I come from,just do it the best you can is my new motto...It's part of everything I do except sometimes I can sound A little like the 90's!
Yes,I didn't mix the track and it's a little db heavy but it is Twanna's song and it does rock.
I'm glad you're back,It seems a little bit harder to keep in touch on the new LP but we'll do it!

Thank you again Brian.

Can’t believe that I haven’t reviewed this one yet my friend. You’re my hero, legend on the guitar my friend. You just have a sixth sense for adding right dimensions to tracks, this just illustrates your immense talents as a musician. Production is off the scale. The Loop is so lucky to have you around. Twanna+AllenV=Talent Overload!!! Love it Al.

Hello Allen! :D

I am so sorry I am a little late with my follow ups so I am just now getting to your work. This is incredible! Your playing reminds me a little of Eric Johnson inclusive with your own style. This is Sooo sweet! 5 gold stars out of 5 gold stars. Fantastic!

I will definitely return later and check out some more of your work I have just been preoccupied lately. I am going to half to download this one. Cheers!

There are few things in life that are certain, but I can guarantee you that when you have SpellJammer, Patricia Edwards, Richie Winn, and AllenV all come together on a song it is going to be magnificent.

Allen, I'm at a total loss for words right now. Not much in this world renders me speechless, but this song did exactly that.

I am so happy you have it available for download. A huge tip of the hat to all involved. You all set the bar extremely high with this one.

Wonderful in every way. Thanks to all for sharing your talents with all of us. And for the download :)

Thank you so much Bear!
You know our collaborations come from the oddest circumstances.Spell had an original instrumental track,I added acoustic guitars,Pat sent vocals and Richie Mixed.
But the interesting thing about all of this is that it all came at very separate times.
Spell had his track for quite some time and I asked him if he had anything he was working on,he sent the track.A week later I added acoustic guitars and sent it back to Spell and he said "I wonder if Patricia would write some lyrics and do some vocals?".She did and we had a hard time mixing them in cause we're having daw problems so a couple of weeks later we ask Richie to mix for us..he wasn't even home and still pulled it off.I guess the point is that this never started out as a planned collab.

I added an intro after all else was finished so this didn't happen overnight and my gratitude goes out to all involved,I'm just as big of fan of them as you are of this track Bear,they represent what this site can do and the talent it brings together.

Thank you again for you're wonderful comments,it makes all the work part of music so very worth it.

Allen, my friend - I truly hope you don't find this remark profane, but this is as close to going to church as i get - what i mean is that there is belief in something better here - as Carlos Santana once put it, Love Devotion and Surrender - sublime work by all involved - it is so good to see ya amigo!

AllenV replied 4th Jun 2012 - 13 years ago
Hey Mike!
I love your comments.
I do associate "inspiration" with my personal belief in the power of music and that I do feel there is a higher power that created this emotion we feel towards music...it can't just be about beats all the time..no offense,I love beats but in this context it's about the combined effort to capture a feeling and share it with others and I'm so happy that I've met so many artists here that understand the importance of emotion in a song..it's what I think we all want to achieve whether it's happy,sad or somewhere in between.
And I also feel that "beats" do indeed create emotion(yes I have listened to Maroon Five and GaGa)
So I get it...but only when appropriate as they do it.

We'll meet again Mr. Stokes...Collabs is what I'm all about!

Hello Aven ....

Even if I did not have time, I would take for to write here, how I feel when I listen to this sublime production ....
Really FANTASTIC ....
Like many of us here, Patricia is the essential vector, when we want to launch a musical challenge.
Yes! we succumb to that wonderful voice, as you here.
This is a very high level of cooperation .... and I really like this acoustic guitar, a more essential in this production.
As could write barry (ShortBusMusic) "I get up and applaud you, before I go drink my coffee" ....

Congratulations.

Thank you Dan.
You know that sometimes I get so involved with the production that I wonder if others really like the song,that's what it's all about"The Song".Your comments validate what we all want to do here...make good music and complement each other.
I could never do this without my friends,they do so much of the work and I just want them to be proud of what we have done.
Thank you again my friend!

It does indeed sound like a labor of love Allen..Its beautiful music performed with much talent and perfectly produced...Love the acoustic guitar parts & the way it integrates with the keys..vocals excellent (again)..It just is a totally professional piece of work.....But best of all I love the song...and the accompaniment....Thanks for the DL, I`m going to want to listen some more....Ed

I've had this track...with vocals for a month.
The vocal mix messed us up cause Spell and I are kinda starting over with software and computers so Richie was a great help.I think Patricia must have thought we gave up!!
I didn't think it would turn out this well cause of our mixing problem but I appreciate your comments.
I do love the song also and am so glad we got to finish it...this is why we do it and collab,this community is so full of every thing you need..Beats,Loops,Pellas and producers,I'm so grateful to be a part of this family.

on Fire Up The Funk 2016 ft Slap Johnson by AllenV
This is one mighty good piece of work here. Your guitar variations are just crazy on this track. The only thing that's missing from it is a bit of vocal and i can't very well moan about something that isn't there. So i won't.
Really enjoyed this funky, upbeat and fun funky number!
Especially because you did the drum beat as well. I know that's not your area so bravo for that!

Hey FR!
Yea,I don't do many tracks by myself cause...well it's a lot harder...you have to make drums and play all the parts,I do enjoy the ease of just "playing".
I have some new software,Ableton Live so I'm making a big transition from the Tascam to DAW.If I can figure it out maybe I can do more original tracks.

Thanks for stoppin' by!
