Good track (as usual).
I really like the bass work in the initial part: it has some "melodic" properties, which one would not expect from such a driving bass line. Good!
The tempo changes are "spectacular": this is one of the most difficult things to "plan on a DAW" and in this case they sound so natural. Very Good.
marimba... now this is original, but it works very well.
I am not so fond of some synth sounds (e.g. 2:20) but this is a matter of taste.
The final bass riff is really "powerful" ... I love when the drums go away and the bass gains the "front position" (2:26)
Drumkit sounds a bit "fake": using a stereo spread plugin may help (as per MrNomad suggestion...after he pointed this out I started using it more on my tracks and in some cases it really improves things, but your mileage may vary here...)
Again: GREAT TRACK!
Ciao, Domenico
PS: I would have downloaded it if download was allowed.

Thank you. Like I mentioned to Mr. Nomad, I just let the part I had play out and when it went to silence, I played some palm-muted guitar hits and got the tempo(down 20bpm), cut and changed the Tempo Track, and was able to turn on the click and play from the verse into the chorus very naturally. Getting the tempo let me set the tempo track and then the click followed it. Kinda hard to explain the process because I wasn't really paying much attention at the time.
I will address the drums soon. Thank you again for your feedback and honesty. It is the most important aspect of this site for me. I appreciate you.
Take care

This one actually sounds like APC and Tool on stage together. You need to add some digital-electro elements to get some Puscifer in there now. Maybe get Milla Jovovich to do a cameo or two. Then, the triad will be complete, and world dominance shall begin! Or, at least...dominance on this cup of coffee shall begin, anyhow.
I like your idea of bringing the bass back to the front. Maybe you could do something where you have a super low end crunchy, heavy-##### bass chugging up the back ground rhythm, with your trademark polished bass running whimsical melodies, and a basic guitar weaving in and out of the two, keeping them pleasantly tied together, and filling in the gaps.
Just a thought.
Laters, mang.

My opinion is that keeping things fresh, new and different is the key to making music and growing as an artist. This track would be a perfect track in a set or album list that gives the listener a break from your usually more rambunctious style and then sets up a return to a more rockin' track. It can't always be at 10, can it?
Thought the drums could have had a bit more punch, maybe some more variety as well. I am very guilty of using only one drum loop through a song so it's like I'm throwing stones in a glass house. It's cool to keep things simple though and let other things shine.
I wouldn't say this is the best work I've heard from you but I like that it is different from your other work and incorporates some of your particular sound you have. Keep experimenting and trying new things and start wailing on that ax!!

Gotta do something different every now and then. I did not sit down and intend to do a track like this. I got the first bassline down and then everything else just happened. Seemed like it was supposed to go as it did. But like I said, sounds like something that gets played at a school dance.
The ax will be wailed upon soon! Next one will be heavy.
Thanks Wayne.

Beautiful melodies from both guitars...
Of course bass is the dominated but sooner or later there will be a definitive rhythm play...:-)
Good description...
Shake hands, Danke
Doubt too many will get the title, or care to look it up. Meant to portray the loneliness Judas had to feel after giving up Jesus at his request,... though that bit of the story is not widely accepted.
Thanks for stopping by!

Oh and thanks for the nice words on the forum about your favourite artists on looperman. I'm glad my charming personality brings something to the table here. ;-

I've had my eye on a PRS Custom 24 for a while, but I just can't justify the big bucks they are asking for it. So maybe I'll hit the lottery at some point and not feel bad about dropping $3,000.
I have a little secret to share with you concerning guitar chords. Instead of using standard tuning - E, A, D, G, B, E...try using drop D tuning (just tune the low E string to D) and then just bar the E, A, and D strings for your chords. Open would be a D chord (works as a major or minor chord), first fret is an Eflat chord, 2nd fret is an E, 3rd fret is an F and so on. You can pound some pretty intense rhythm work just using those 3 strings in drop D tuning. Maybe give it a try and see what you think.
Anyway, stellar work as usual. I really enjoyed it. Here's to a great 2015. Hope all is well.

The PRS I got is an SE Custom 24, (tobacco sunburst), and sells for around $800. I got mine from Sweetwater on Black Friday for $400! Not a lot different from the USA made ones besides the tuners and pick-ups, which are easily upgradable, and I think the body thickness. Still, it is smooth and buzz-less, goes from single-coil to humbuckers, just really, really happy. I guess the PRS' are supposed to be the cross between a Strat and a Les Paul? They are scale-wise.
Thank you for the input on rhythm playing. I know drop D very well. Everything I do is in drop C#. Drop D with everything(including low D) down a half step. I think everything I have on this site is in that tuning.
I shall take your advice and put it to good use. Thank you for the help and taking the time to write something.
Take care.
