Title: "I'll Play My Guitar"
Post by: supersoldier71 on November 15, 2010, 03:00:04 PM
It's a slow blues tune.  Don't really have the chops to pull off the guitar part (or the vocals, really), but I had fun doing it!  Hope you enjoy it!

Agile Hawker >RP1000 > MicroBR for the bassline
Gibson Les Paul Faded Special w/ humbuckers for the guitar part.

You've got everything you need, the vox is great, the licks are great and fun is the main thing. Like it a lot........Willie

I did enjoy this.

I love the contrast between your vox and your guitar.  I would have liked the vox a bit louder however and also the bass was hard to hear but I was listening via my laptop so only lo fi monitors.

Great stuff.  I'm going to keep looking for more!!!!

Mix sounds good to me on headphones.  Nice gritty blues there!

There are enough chops there for me Marcus.  Great blues. 

If I was being picky, the end needs a bit of a tidy-up, but I know you intend to polish it up a bit.  Other than that spot-on.

Sounding pretty good to me, your guitar sound is fabulous and you have a really nice touch. Maybe not a lot of face melting runs but IMO you don't need those, it's about the feel and emotion and you have those aplenty. Vox sound great to me.

I'd be tempted to move the bass to the middle of the mix and add a bit of rhythm to balance it out a bit. You could even have two guitars echoing each other a bit. But I'm an old traditionalist and feel that having the bass off to one side makes the mix sound unbalanced. The end could be a bit smoother as well, but there's lots of great stuff going on here.

Cheers,

Nigel

Oh yes, this is good!
I love the blues....Obviously, and you're playing it
the way I like it.
I'm not sure if it's my ear buds, or not, but the bass
seems a tad low in the mix to suit me....
Please post more!
