Wayne many many thnx for attention,the kind words & all the encouragements. ....uuummm yes as U've mentioned there're not many mandolin players.particullary I think mandolin has a very nice sound & special character as a strumming instrument, buT I think the reason why we often don't find many mandolin players are its weak points about expressing suspended atmosphers,subjective impressions , & the lack of a strenght Bass sound which makes it to be usefull for some special & usually romantic concepts, it also needs a mentality with minor & melodic tendency for playing.
ofcourse these are my personal point of view & criticisms about mandolin & I don't know much about it .
for sure your probable reply can include some instructive points about mandolin ...& of course noone can't ignore its unique & beautY sound in its suitable place ...
anyway personally I enjoyed my first & last mandolin playing & your warm feedback made that exprience of mine including more pleasure...appreciations Wayne for patiency & presence & valuable shared idea.best wishes man.___B

Thank you Wayne!

Thank you very much for your words! :D

Thanks very much for stopping in to listen! Thank you for your support regarding my vocals, had to force myself to retrive my voice for this one...smoking and all ya know. This song relies heavilly on spontaneous automation to accent the changes, so I'm glad you think it worked okay. It was nice for a change not to focus on supercomplex drums, sometimes I put too much effort on that. Tried to save some things for later in the track, so it would build up nicely. I really appreciate the comment my friend!

hey if U take a look to my reply to Ed I was telling him that U're needed to share your point of view about my mandolin playing Wayne ..nice to have U here ...Wayne I think I played mandolin a bit forte (extra forte in fact )and all forte...but it's good if it hasn't sound badly & your warm & valuable feedback makes me think so ....an exclusive appreciation from the best mandolin player i know for attention & feedback & as usual my best wishes.____B

Thank you for the kind words, man! I want to hear vocals on this one, but we will see... there is time for everything

Hey Wayne, thanks for the comment. Sorry that I am a bit late replying, busy with a lot of tracks at the moment .

Feel flattered by your kind comment ;)

Enjoy your download haha

Hi Wayne :)
thank you much much for the words .
i don't know much about differences of metal and rock
i thought this is rock because metal is faster and wilder toward this for me .
but as i see some people like you have called this Metal.
so i'm going to change the genre and put it in metal ....
thank you much much again.
Elena :)

Thanks Wayne. I really enjoy trying to use music alone as a way to convey thought or emotion. I am glad you were able to see that in this song. Many thanks.

Thanks Wayne! I agree with you this could really be used in a commercial or a film, which was my exact intentions for this track.

Thanks for stopping by, have a good one :)

Wayne dear , first of all many thnx for attention & I really hope Mike to read your nice analysis about him & totally we(me,U&the; others who have commented)can make Mike feel good
& know he is not forgotten (althoughT he doesn't need my or our supporT-but friendship is the same we're trying to do I think).
and by the way ...did U know U're nmost similar person to Mike in my eyes ?....throughbred & kind,gentle & like Mike very sensitive & with a special guitar sound & incredible skill...a bit younger but still maybe about 10 years 0older than me ( I'm almost the youngest musician between U my unseen friends ! what I never guessed before & when I hadn't talked with U & just had listened U !..unbelievable ).many thnx & best wishes.___B

Hey Wayne

Thank you for the feedback and the review, must say did enjoy doing this one, while taking a short break from trance, currently working on a acoustic type of rock track, it is more laid back then this one, more like a chill out track, plus also start a few different styles...Thought working with vocals would be a bit hard but found them fairly straight forward, suppose if you have the right vocals makes it easier...Thank for the fav too mate...Peace n Respect...Mosaic....Listening to your piece I reviewed other day...Still stand by what I said about it being my fav of yours...Excellent track....

Thanks allot, Wayne. Nothing beats the original, so didn't want to try to duplicate it, so with the help of Franco, it turned out a bit jazzier.

Sorry it's a bit high for you. Would have liked to have you aboard. Usually vocal requests are unsuccessful, so doubt we'll get any takers.

Cheers,
Scott

Never been a DJ. Used to hang around with a lot of them in my 20's but i was always much more interested in creating the tracks.
I guess i should take it up really as all i seem to do these days is muck about with loops.
I did get those synths running in the end and they're really ##### good (But i only used one right at the end of this track, the rest was all loops and one shots)
Yeah, i should upload some loops really. I did plenty as Nick Q but FreeRadical has so far contributed a grand total of zero.
I might even make some right now.
Cheers for dropping in.

Greetings. Very laid back blues and first proper deep shuffle blues I've done.

Not really that many effects. Not sure if you mean on guitar. Mostly just delay, reverb, a little distortion - nothing unusual.

Not sure who Godfathers are. A band, I guess.

My bass is a Vintage 5-string (can't remember the model) though I rarely play it so I'm not very good anymore. Used to be much better in teen years when that's mostly all I played. Little practice these days means no stamina in left or right hand and picking fingers get blisters so easily.

But there's some nice bas guitar in this track.

Main guitar is still the first I ever bought (in 1996) and it's small and light and comfortable and cheap. It's the Epiphone Les Paul Special II (Vintage Sunburst). I also use a Variax but don't like it much and find it hard to play but it still pops up in my tracks.

Main resonator is the Ozark 3515bte and other one (that I don't like) is a Republic Resolian Steel Antique Brass.

You confused me by saying you enjoyed the resonator on here as there is none! The splashes you heard must be the sitar bits during the second half solo. Can't think what else you could mistake for resonator. I almost always say I track description if its in the track.

I do my best to feel the music and play to the groove rather than just widdle about all over the place. This is a wonderful groove for laidback playing and even more so in the later parts (that you haven't heard) when it appears to pick up pace and get more insistent.

I could do blues playing over this type of groove all day. Comes very naturally.

I hope you noticed that the drums are mostly just the EZ Americana kit. If not, you will now!

Good to hear you want to hear more. These 4 mins are really just an intro..

Thanks for listenning my songs!

Thanks Wayne,
every Time i listen to this Track it´s getting a little better. For me ,I think ,i recover a new (old)Passion making Rockmusic. As i was a Man Age 20, I played Heavy Metal Guitar in a Trash Metal Band,those Times were gone, but the Spirit of wicked Guitars and the Sound of evil Power is not a Desease,its inherent and awaits a coming out like a wild Animal.
Nice to know that you like it.
