Hey Ron....I love listening to a track that I know is going to influence me and become embedded in my subconsciousness....really fluid guitar,flying notes totally zoned..soaring over the the great bass and piano foundation..this sort of sonic make-up is best described like a seabird flying over the ocean,they are both separate yet the same and intimately connected...Felix was such a great influence and integral part of the great age of rock..It's amazing how your tapping into this power source and making it totally your own...incredible work mate!..cheers Dave :)
Thanks Dave. You are so kind. To receive such praise and encouragement from one I know understands is cause for inspiration. I'll keep working on this one for as long as it takes to find that mix that brings out the elements i wish to convey. Perhaps do some arranging as well to make this a proper song with changes and dynamics, etc. Till then, this is my vehicle for experimentation. Thank you for encouraging me to carry on Dave. Very much appreciated.
High five man!!!! I love rock it's great. This track makes me want to stick a marrow down my pants, run into the Doctors and make some of the elderly patients faint with the size of my part...lol... Great track Voltage! I love your guitar playing. I wish I could rock out like you can. I would play naked, with only the guitar covering my bits. The only problem with that scene is it would have to be a big guitar. I can't afford a Gretsch country gentleman just yet lol....
Slap.
Dude your comments have me laughing and I am so very inspired. To receive such words from a cat I admire so much means the world to me. One day I will provide you with a track to embellish. Thank you for the compliments and the entertaining imagery...ha!!
You are the BEST Slap.
Voltage
First off, the guitar playing is excellent! However, I think that if there was more space in between all those notes, it would give the listener more direction(if that makes sense). Hearing the background bass, drums etc... being the same for a while is probably the cause. I just think that if there were more pauses in between and breakdowns, instead of just constant playing, it would be far more interesting. All said though, you can definetely play the guitar man. I wish I had your skill!
G,
Thanks for the compliments and suggestions. Much appreciated. I agree the arrangement needs to be developed further. This project started out as an experiment to test various engineering techniques and process. I may well focus on an arrangement and perhaps a lyric at some point. Right now I hope to bring the drums up a bit and I continue to try everything I can to find a more defined bass. I'll try to drop you a line should I eventually work up a proper arrangement. Till then Thank you for the kind words of encouragement, taking the time to listen and making the effort to comment. I am inspired. Voltage
Thank you so much S.
I am comforted to have such a place to post these experiments. Looperman is such an open minded community. Your kind comments mean a great deal. Thank you. I am encouraged to persevere.
Voltage
Ok... I listened to this 2wice.
Yep, there's some passion in the playing which is good.
To me this is a 4 minute & 30 second run-on sentance. I suggest you re-cut it. Find a few of the motif's/melody lines and arrange some phrases.
Now that you got the initial angst out of your system, I feel you could REALLY arrange a rockin' piece of music from this.
Wayne,
I apologize for the delayed response....
Thank you so much.
I'll have to dust this one off again this season.
Much appreciate your kind words.
Voltage
Wow. Ive always loved greensleeves. Ive heard so many versions and remixes of this song and you managed to make this one original which I think is a huge accomplishment. I think you did a really good job. Professional quality. Def adding to my favs. Thanx for sharing this :]
Cody,
Thanks for the kind comments. Not sure what I would do without the Line6 POD. Allows me to track guitar and bass anytime day or night without driving the neighborhood crazy. Usually headphone mix and it seems to work for me. I appreciate you taking the time to review and I am honored you would Fav any of my work. Thank you. Voltage
KDL, Thank you so much for the kind review. This project means a lot to me. Hope to stitch together the various movements into a single cohesive piece one day. Thanks for the encouragement.
Voltage
KDL,
Thank you so much. I find great inspiration in the subject matter and the Kurzweil is an able instrument to allow such an expression. Though I have had this keyboard for over a decade, the sounds and on board recording process inspire a flow of creativity. Your kind words are very much appreciated.
Voltage

Hi,
You did choose a good title for your song.I could really feel the atmosphere you were talking about.The track is well buit(the intro and then the percussions kickin in.Nice work and nice guitar playing
Hey mate...nice suspended feeling in the intro then the ground drops away from under you with the percussive elements...great touch..I've been listening to a bit of early Dimeola lately..he's way too fast for my ears these days..I like to savour notes..just like what's going on here..some great little turnarounds..the whole sound is excellent..Cheers Dave..ps..how's the beach treating you,well I hope.
Planet,
Thanks my bro. Still setting stuff up. Looking for gigs, etc.. here in SoCal. I dig Dimeola as well. I try to instill some of that same spirit in many works. Not much chance to get to the beach though we have done some video work down there. Pretty much digging into the archives, editing and posting. I'll send you a link to about 100 works from my personal documents. Many bands i have been in, many Live tracks, much more. Been carrying around tons of media for many years waiting for the opportunity to share. That time is now. Thanks again Planet. I'll be in touch.
Voltage
THis is beautiful. I think I saw your profile on talentrove, so I knew I was in for something special, and I must say you did not disappoint. Listening to this with your description in mind creates just layers and facets of beauty and comfort, and security. It makes me feel like I am at home with the tribe, this is what I hear and all is well on the tribe grounds. And everything is beautiful. If anything I would say the percussion almost puts a veil between the guitar and my ear, but it's still beautiful all the same. Excellent work, cheers.
Califken, Your kind review is very much appreciated. I apologize for the delayed response. This one is special to me and I am very happy you perceive the intended spirit of this piece. That alone inspires me. Thank you.
Voltage
Chris,
Thank you so much for the encouraging review. Yes I know what you mean about the delay. Just happened that this take came about in one pass direct to stereo and though it was a bit drenched...I could not conjure a better take no matter how many times I tried. So I went with the vibe take. Thanks for taking the time to listen and comment. I owe you and a bunch of other Loopermaniacs reviews. Just relocated from Phoenix to SoCal and I am scrambling to get the gear set up proper again. Then perhaps I'll take another shot at this one in multi track...
Thanks Chris.
Nice dude. Great cover. Sounds like a cover. I cant quit pin point the song but sounds soooo familiar. Good playing for sure! Singing is pretty nice as well could use a little energy boost.
C, Thank you so much for the kind review. This one is an original. Composed as a birthday gift, yet never reviewed by the intended recipient. So your review is especially appreciated. Thank you.
Voltage
I had to favourite and download this... Anne Frank's story touches me and this song is so suiting and beautiful. The guitar playing strikes a "chord" in my heart. Your voice played out the opening verse "Dear Kitty, I'm still alive" in such a haunting, yet beautiful manner. Overall, this captures the emotion and atmosphere associated with Anne Frank. It's brilliant.
Tebriel,
Thank you for your kind compassion. I must apologize for the delayed response as i have very recently relocated from Phoenix AZ to Huntington Beach SoCal. Just now resolving logistics of getting my gear set up and hope to be knocking out production soon. I have other material related to Anne Frank that I hope to post soon. Anne is a major inspiration to me. Your kind comments encourage me to persevere. A very sincere Thank You.

Kelly,
Sorry for the delayed response. Your kind encouragement is very much appreciated. This was one of those magic 3-4am sessions alone in the studio. I love it when I can play back through the monitors at a good volume rather than having to rely on headphones all the time. Nothing like moving air. You sort of float around with the sound. Anyway, than you for the inspiration. I believe a new set of strings is in order. Much Respect,
Voltage
Again I must say,"Thank God for featured tracks!" very soothing, encompassing,surreal,! it was like Santana, live and unplugged for one!and that one was me! Impressed!...........G.
JG,
Thank you for the kind words. Sorry it took so long to get back to you. Spring is cause for much inspiration and since I do a lot of artist development, seems like everyone wants to record right now. Hope to spend some time on a few of my own projects once things settle down. Anyway, thank you very much. I am inspired and longing to get back in there and kick it once again.

Thought I'd stop by and give a listen to this tune. I like acoustic guitar as I have a 'Mitchell' here I bought last fall.
I've used it in some of my country tunes, but not anywhere else. It is hard to keep up with all the different instruments I play.
Anyways, I am sorry you lost this girlfriend last year. There is usually a good reason and both parties have to agree on most things, or relationships don't work out. As for me, I am Legally Separated as of Oct. 2007, but I've had enough wives so I won't be looking around anymore. My music keeps me very occupied now and my rotating shift work job.
I like your playing here and arrangement. You did a very nice job here and I like it a lot.
Keep up playing and enjoy what time you can making more music.
I plan on adding more vocals to my tunes now that I have found someone in another state that can sing well and collab with that way. (Warrior777 on here)
Thanks Randy.
Would love to track that Mitchell guitar of yours. They have a beautiful spirit. Happy you have a vocalist working with you. Your tracks are solid and deep. Thanks for your kind words of encouragement.
Voltage
Thanks for such a "Sweet" review....
I had a lot of fun riffing on this one. Sometimes you just have to let the music call the shots and let it flow.
I am still learning to let things happen rather than trying to be a control freak all the time. I guess that's where the Love is.
Thanks again.
Voltage
This track of yours is definitely saying something. be great to hear vocal on it with strings and organ maybe. I imagine a gutsy vocal like Joe Cocker on this..lamentable and straight at you..
Thanks Daniel.
I do have a lyric and a few more progression options in the works. Going through one of those overwhelming periods we all go through as artists. Many loose ends calling for attention.
Thanks for listening and commenting. Much appreciated.
