I just got a new set of High Quality Studio Headphones and this really sounded fantastic. I think you are off to a great start. Definately keep building on the progression and groove. It's pretty infectious and contagious...it gave me the bug and I was hooked ! - Bilbozo
Oh yeah this sounds sweet. I think you should get a temtpting sudectress to hit this with some smoky vocals. That progression really pulls you in. I could close my eyes get lost in this for a while ! Thanks - Bill ( Bilbozo )
Thanks Bill. As a matter of fact, a singer in Atlanta contacted me about doing vocals on this. Need to make some tweaks to it of course. I'll repost if we ever get it worked out.
Cool groove. Love the way you put out the loops. Good Chicago style blues any session guitarist like myself would like to bite into and let loose on. Great job. - Bilbozo
Wow what a cool collab guys. Pure emotion and feel to this one for sure. Allen I love those guitar phrasings...indeed I heard some Hendrix, but I also heard some early Eddie Van Halen chords in there..and essence of Jeff Beck. The vocals of Tecatta and your voice on guitar were a superb meld of heart & soul. A true classic fellas ! - Bilbozo
Hey Bill,thanks for having a listen!yea,I've kinda' stopped fighting against those influences and am just having fun and playing what I feel fits...at the very least it doesn't sound forced that way.
Oh,did Joseph survive his birthday bash:)
Thanks again Bill,I appreciate your comments.
Heya Mark. Thanks for writing some lyrics and vocals to the song. Very nice melodic vocals going on. I love the raspiness in your voice. Myself I sound like a smurf with a cold when I sing..so this really means a lot. Has some Nirvana feel to it which I really love. Sounds rocking bro, Thanks so much! - Bilbozo !
Hey Peres. That was a cool ride. I love the classics and this totally rocks. I love how you have parts echo arrepegiated. Give's it such a spacy feeling. Superb job. - Bilbozo
Great use of a multitude sounds....gets really groovin when the funk progression kicks in. Very cool track indeed...a smorgasbord of funky morsels. - Bilbozo
THanks for replying. Yes, indeed, beginning by some sounds, it's like a car in a curve, after having changed its direction, it take the one of the funk and jazzy way.
I'm always playing like that.
Wow now this is pretty cool...trance synth mixed with metal. Mixing genres really creates some exciting stuff. Loive your chops and that dirty tone. Very cool song...very impulsive overtones...creates a mood of desperation. Lots of dynamics bringing the song uip and down. Very well done - Bilbozo
I think I left a review of this song on Spelljammers page, but I just wanted to let you know you rocked this one Allen. Superb collab for the both of you. Always diggin your chops.- Bilbozo
Thank you Bil.As a guitarist yourself you know that is one of the good things that comes from playing covers for so long..you kinda get the feel for a lot of different styles..like it or not. Every Sunday after the Casey Kasem countdown someone would hand me a tape and say"Here Al,learn em by wednesday" lol,but I do like this style.
Allen
Oh yeah man. This is sweet. Love the groove...and the offbeat hits which work really nice. Very well thought out arrangement...just 4 chords can go a long way if you know how to dress it right and you did. Cheers - Bilbozo
Wow...this is a fantastic piece. It envokes all sorts of emotions and peaks and valleys of excitment. Fantastic vocals and instrumentation. Great mix...I thought it was going to be outlandishly heavy but it's well articulated and orchestrated without going over the top. Beauty ! - Bilbozo
Great track Deepman...SLapas tyouch really adds to the emotion of the song. Great instrumentation and arrangement for a different take on the original. Awesome collab
Drive alonmg like a fast freight train. The sound is impulsive, cinematical, soundtrack feel. I love how you haven't overdone the guitar. Just enough to compliment the track and accompany the piano. It takes a keen ear to pull that off in spades...indeed you guys did. Great collab. - Bilbozo
Hey Bil.I got lucky here,9Rihter had this eq sound that matched up pretty well to my guitar.He had everything but guitar mixed and finished, just wanted to try guitars so that was the challenge.He sent me the mp3 and I had to layer around what he had done and couldn't mess with his individual levels so in a way it forced me to play it safe so I learned from this song and try to take that with me.one review wanted louder guitar but when I tried it just covered the piano and would ruin it,so big lesson learned...Don't sacrifice the song for guitars because in the end it's all about the song,
and I know you know this as you choose to complement your own songs as well...if we didn't we could just do a 4min solo...hmm..
maybe a loop of Eruption:)
thanks bil
Allen
Is this recorded direct or recorded via mic? Love the mood it onsets. Very crisp and clear tonal ambience. Love that fingerstyle...nothing beats a pair of hands that can do that ! Respect ! - Bilbozo
Glad you asked Bil,check out the tascam dp-oo8,it can run on 4aa bat. and ac,8 digtr.It has 2 built in mics...and this thing is little..utube has videos of it.I can't stand the electronics in this Washburn I have so I thought I would give the little mics a try and the reviews on this thing were right on for it's size and portability..I actualy do everything on it cause it will almost fit in your guitar case and uses sd cards.I don't have a laptop so I have to share puter time with the wife,and thats no way to make music waiting for her to stop chatting and playing on farmville or whatever lol...I love her but a mans gotta do...
The style came out of lazyness I guess..it's gpick and fingers.When I played out and we did an acoustic song I didn't switch guitars,just the way I approached the electric..but I have seen others play that way and I do that now on acoustic as well, there's just things you can't do tho.
thanks for listening Bil.
Allen
FFFFFFFFunkey Monkey ! Oh yeah am I ever digging this one. Chords stroke the funky bone. My 4 year daughter was in the studio doing the Harlem Shuffle to this one buddy ! Are you sure James Brown isn't really gone and living in your basement? - Bilbozo
Well thank you and your daughter,I have a 4yr old grandaughter myself..but don't tell anyone i'm that old..our secret.this tune is one of the few originals i've posted so you know where I get the most enjoyment.i've been meaning to review your blues song cause I hear a Neal Schon influence in there and I love the guy,Gotta add him to my influences.
thanks again Bil...I better go check on James:)
Allen
Smooth groovin stuff Allen. Whatta collab. I love that nice clean precussive clean tone and the jazzy blues chops bro. Sweetness at it's finest ! - Bilbozo
Thank you bil,Some of These collabs seem to help force me to not color outside the lines and that can be a good thing sometimes...especialy on tunes like this.I love van halen but I don't want to mix VH with R&B just yet...at least not on someone elses song...you could..but...
Thank you again bil
Wow pretty convincing guitars...it sounds like they ere made for the songs and not sampled in. Great job at blending them in. Makes for a very rocking track. - Bilbozo
Thanks Bilbozo. Only 1 guitar (4 chords) is from a sample library. The other 2 (the ending fender stratocaster and power guitars) are programmed by me. I really appreciate you taking the time to listen and leave a review.
-Styles
Oh yeah...funky fusion going on here with a cool jazz overtone. I love all the great instruments you used here. A very cool and uplifting tune with good groove. All the best brother - Bilbozo
Me alegro de que te haya gustado. Yo sigo trabajando y espero que para despuÃÂs de Agosto tenga alguna canción de Rock, aunque hay algún Rockabilly que me da problemas con la música. Gracias por tus comentarios.
I love cinematic and symphonic tracks. This defiuantelyu has a cinema feel with dark undertones. Very atmosheric and ominous mood setting. You definately hit the mark on this one. Great track. - Bilbozo
Hey bro....It was a blast having a Latin jam with some of the best musicians I know. A real latin experience with a trainload of groove ! Thanks for inviting me in the colab - Bilbozo
Hey guys. As many know from my altino background...latin music is where it is at for me. Very nice piece of latin jazz. Love the instruments...marimbas and all. Very smooth take...and great bass playing chops by yourself and Planet as well. Great job fellas. I need a Cuba Libre after hearing this one ! Orale - Bilbozo
Thanks for the listen Bill - definately not enough latin on the loop (since it's not really hip) but what the hey, your doing a great job of flying the latino flag!!!
