There's a combination made in rock heaven, AllenV and Vicen, doesn't get much better than that. Great track, guys, keep them coming.

Thanks John!
Sorry so late with the reply..you know how much I appreciate it and Vicen was great to work with(I just played lead and added to his rhythm).
He is a master songwriter.

Hello there Allen,

Sorry for not getting here to listen to your music and giving you feedback as you left some for me.
I really like this song here. Very well put together and full sounding. The vocals are very good....just an great production overall.
I realize others are helping out here, but it sounds really good to me. So you all did very well and I hope you'll stick together for a long time. I'll be putting up another country tune in a day or so if you care to check it out.

Thanks for sharing,
Randy

Thanks Randy!
I've been away for a while so forgive me my friend.
You've encouraged me from the start and that means so much.
I just got lucky to team up with these great musicians that share this love of what we do.

I'm gonna visit you soon...I just had to take some time away for work and family.

Allen.
Oh,and thanks for being an inspiration,you showed me it could be done.

Great Modern southern type feel.. I've never gone wrong clicking one of you tracks. The guitar accents are pushed back a bit, I understand you didn't want to step on the vocal, and it's a hard thing to balance, but there was some great interplay between the accents and the vocal.

three words of advice my friend..

More, More and MORE!

Da Goose.

AllenV replied Unknown
Hey Goose!Thanks so much man!
I do leave all the production up to Kikajon and he knows what works.
I battle with my guitar tone beside his...which is so very good for this style and a little hard for me to match but he helps me out a lot in post production of my guitar.

And yes...more is on the way.

on Unbreakable (SpellJammer Collab) by AllenV
Checking some of your stuff out. Very tasty licks. Are you a Lukather fan? Got kinda that feel. Very very cool. Do you use an Ebow on this?
Keep rocking!
AllenV
AllenV replied Unknown
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!

on When You Leave - SpellJammer ft Slap Johnson by AllenV
wow that is beautiful music... everything flows together well.. nice collab!!
AllenV
AllenV replied Unknown
Thank you my friend,What can I say about these guys that I haven't already.Dylan creates the lush landscape which is the foundation and inspiration for all my guitar parts,then there is Slap and his great feel of this music.We didn't expect Slap to join in and now I can't imagine it any other way.I'm a lucky guitarist to play with the both of them!

Thanks again for commenting!

I'm into music like this funk'o'metal – reminds me of bands like Dan Reed Network, Electric Boys and Living Color. Cool work, my friend.

Nice comparisons Kikajon..I forgot about Dan Reed!
MrFunk and I played with this for a while and I never was satisfied with myself so I pushed it back in the vault until he left the loop..it was a little late but I know he's seen that I posted it.

Thanks my friend.

Beautiful track, my friend, great guitar skills. There is definitely not enough acoutic guitar music on the loop. Glad to see you're fixing that situation.

on Show Me What Love Is-SpellJammer feat Slap Johnson by AllenV
Wow. This is a piece of art. The guitar is really relaxed and the beat works great with it. I can't put what I think about the saxophone into words. I can't get enough of slap's sax work. The whole song is just well put together and so relaxing. Something I would hear really late in the night on a laid back radio station.

Can't put any more praise but just perfect!
Thanks for sharing this piece with us!!!
AllenV
AllenV replied Unknown
Thanks so much Matthew!
The really cool thing about this track and Slaps part is that he played along with our track,we didn't use any loops from his awesome library..which would have been fine but this really brings him into the collaboration.

They both deserve all the credit..SpellJammer can always bring out the best in me,without him I would just play a bunch of old Van Halen licks :)

Thanks again,your review is very encouraging.

Allen
