Hello Zivonmusic, understood my friend.....take care

Hello Zivonmusic, really appreciate your comments and of course listening to my track...first I've heard of Mac Ayers but have listened to any of his stuff but I will do that. I'm an older guy so I go back a bit as far as influences....but guys like dimeola, metheny, benson, j.pass, holdsworth, w.montgomery, s.khan....there's tons more that I admire and still.follow. I don't really have a style other than if I feel it I try to convey it....sounds crazy maybe but its true....improv gives you little time to mess around.....or so it goes for me. I've never had formal guitar lessons so I'm doing mainly what I feel and have learned on my own. There's no shame in my game....I'm quite fond of music and inspiration can be found anywhere....all types of music inspire me but I do favor certain genres more than others. Don't mean to bore you so I'll once again thank you for your comment and listen....

Thank you so very much ;)

Che has such an amazing voice, I know he would rather hear this in an EDM style so this was a change of pace.

Appriciate the feedback.
Best wishes.

Z. Thank you for the good advice. I followed it and see that you were absolutely right. To me it sounds better and there is more transparency in it. Thank you. All the best.

Loved the reply and suggestions. The lead guitar was done in two takes. I chose the one I thought was best. The lead guitar was created using a softsynth, some amp simulators, reverb, and some fx. Then I played it through a 49 key midi controller using the mod wheel so it sounds like I'm stretching the strings. With practice it sounds pretty good. I do also own Two guitars but like to dabble in both. I'm going to try it again and insert your suggestions. I like the idea.

cheeers bro, i keep trying new genres i do try to sing im not great but engineering helps :)) i'd like a female to collab with, i think i could write something good but time will tell, i love roasting though. just changed this for another bit of sweet may work further on it

Thank you (not masterpiece yet, I'm still working on it, vocals ?)

Thanks for the comments. Above and Beyond were a favourite of mine too.

Hello mate.
Thanks for the feedback and the faves.
Unfortunately, I have taken a break From LM after 11 years.
When I'm back I will do you a screen recording of How I Do My Kicks.
Enjoy.

i’d be happy if it passes for one. thanks for the listen man!

have seen Baz and Pete they good, thanks for your check out bro much appreciated this was was first attempt at Drill :))

Me too man, Fela Kuti being a long time favourite. And yeah, I figured Bishop Tutu's message was right on point. Cheers Zoot.

Thanks for comment, Zion. I think you are right about the mix of genres. It definitely does not fit comfortably into just one box. I'm very happy with the way the mix turned out. The instrumental parts, particularly in one section, have sounds that are in the same frequency range as the vocal. Not only were they competing for "space" in the mix, but the overall sound was somewhat harsh. Simple EQing did not fix the problem. So, I turned to a pro for help. Wytse really improved the mix. Took it to a place I was not able to reach. :)

The vocals involved my first experiment in automation with the delay/feedback. No real intention as far as the beat was concerned, I just liked it and thought it fitted. Cheers Zoot.

Thank you very much Zivon!

Appreciate your words specially those names you mentioned ...
fistbump, Danke

Thank you, Z, for the positive feed back. I agree with you on that comment. Maxwell would put some fire on this track. If I were to add vocals, I think his style of singing would without a Dout work. Thanks again for the stop by. PEACE. T576 OUT.

Thank you.
