Ah Bear,I'm always humbled by your comments,I'm only A product of 40yrs of playing...nothing special here,just try to live this long,and longer..Les Paul was how old?

I'll tell you that Spell had it first,then bones added his percussion...both were uploaded on their pages first.

Spell was hoping that a vocalist would jump in but it wasn't happening so I thought it would be a fun Sunday afternoon to play around with the track.
The guitar track reminded me of how the quick,off the cuff leads can sometimes be the best,I didn't know if Spell wanted to upload it,he already had two versions.

You know that I'm A humble man and not the least bit boastful but...I'll tell you the story.
Spell was worried about the tracks being uploaded without consent so we discussed whether to allow downloads.I told him that "if they want it,they will get it anyway".
I was in a mood that day and used Audacity to record his "no upload" track,and within one hour I had the guitar track recorded...just as you hear it,mixed into his track.

I love SpellJammer and we are and will always be partners and brothers...so maybe my experiment was to prove a point,but I think A good track came from the effort..and I do appreciate Bones addition.It's great how different styles of music can collide into something that feels collaborated...and it is!

Thank you Bear,I appreciate your comments and the music you share.

Thanks for the listen Bear - there's not a great deal of interest in material with jazz leanings on this site so i'm always glad if people like my noodlings - much appreciated.

jamie.

Hey Bear

Always good to hear from you and thanks for the great comments. Yes, Derek is exceptional and it is a pleasure working with such good vocals. As you can see from his comments below he found it quite a revelation listening to "real" guitar on one of his tracks. Ah these young kids eh?

Thanks for the thumbs up (all ten of them).

Richie

Thank you very much Bear!
I just watched some video tutorials about mastering, effects and how to use the mixer. I this beat, I just added the drums, your loop did the magic!
I will upload more beats soon, and also I'm making a new project that sounds really good for me!

Again thanks, and also thank you for those amazing sounds you have. I think you are very talented and creative.

Adrian

Thanks so much Bear for your kind words.
Greatly appreciated, Shi

Yay :')

You're the first person to say that you would actually buy something that I've had a hand in creating and has made me smile a LOT lol

Patricia inspired me no end.. And this track wouldn't be half as good without Mahloo's magic ears!

Really glad that this has your stamp of approval - especially given the earlier topic of conversation lol ;D

Thanks a lot Bear :)

WongKi

I'm glad you liked it. I see that I have been reminded of other times ... and if ye have lost you a little smile ...
Thank you for having heard it.

Hey Bear, I’m happy you look it. When I first heard your “funky guitar” loop, I couldn’t get it out of my head. It got stocked like a melody, so I had to create this track in order to move on… LOL. Your loops tend to have that effect on me. Thanks for the listen my friend. I’m glad I made you proud.

Haha, I like that approach MUCH better Mr. Bear! Before we needed to get in the bus, then we needed to go somewhere in the bus, then we needed to fill the bus...and finally we're waiting on the bus to arrive :-). I pray we are almost there. You know the driver's seat is yours.

Thanks much Mr. Bear :-)

Thanks man. I used to listen to flyod a lot myself many moons ago so perhaps there was some inspiration from them lurking in the back of my mind.
Looking back on it maybe i shouldn't have paid them so much attention because we do actually need some sort of education contrary to what Mr Waters would like us to believe.
Anyway, Thanks for stopping by and leaving your thoughts.

Hey Bear

Always good to have you visit. Thank you so much for the kind comments - much appreciated. It's so good Farisha is back posting acapellas again - I have a couple of them waiting for my undivided attention! Glad you liked this track and thanks again.

Richie

THank you for your kind words! It really means a lot!
Glad I could help you enjoy the music!
I'll check one of your tracks out!
Steve

Hold on Mr. Bear...jess gotta [grunt] get this suitcase closed and...gasp...where's my...oh goodness...lol

Thank you Mr. Bear, believe me, I am SO ready!!!

Yes, Richie is a muzical gem!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'll be more than happy to add him to my "road trip team", kicking and screaming if need be, haha. And you're already on the list!

Thanks much Mr. [ahem] I mean, Grandpa Bear :-) :-)

I wonder how I missed the reply button for your comment....I apologize for that.

Thank you very much for your way to kind review! It means a lot!

As do how I do it..... I have no clue...things just seem to work. I do listen to a lot of music and that helps as everything feels natural. I did spend a lot of time learning, used to skip school to work on music and hang out in the studio and that went on for about 13 years...kinda spent part of my childhood in the studio...as I'm still young. Lol!

Thank you once again for the review!

Sorry for the very,very late reply.I had the pleasure to be reviewed by Jah on my previous alias and still remember of him sharing his vast technical knowledge on the forum.

The absence of bass was unintentional my friend but im happy how it came out in the end.One of my favourite tracks in all departments.
Thank you very,very much for your kind words.Download available now.

Thank you!

Hey Bear

Always good to hear from you. Thank you so much for the comments and I take it as a great compliment that you compare my instrumentation with Patricia's vocals so positively. I am humbled. Thank you.

I had a lot of trouble trying to get the tempo and the vocal organised on this track and after exchanging emails with Patricia (who suggested I might have some timing issues with it) I decided to chop up the phrases and assemble them around a twelve bar blues framework. I am pleased with the way it's turned out.

Glad you enjoyed it and thanks again for the kind words.

Best regards

Richie

all is better than it was before :)

thanks bear!

Hey Bear

Always good to have you visit and thank you so much for your kind words. It is such a pleasure working with MIM4E and a real adventure developing a track from her incredible acapellas - she is such a talent. Appreciate you stopping by and taking the time to listen and comment - much appreciated.

Regards

Richie

Bear,thank you so much,I never thought there would be vocals until SpellJammer,...even along the road I knew it was meant for him and his fiance as much as my own family...And I do love him as much.

Thank you my friend.
