Bee Stings and Butter In The Flies (instrumental)

[StephenM]

started out as a bass guitar practice exercise and I liked the sound so much I built it as a power trio kind of free for all...

Shecter Bass using just the rock band patch you get when you use the BR1600 in multitrack recording mode...loved the growly raw sound.

another version but different because it has more and a bit different guitars....if you are glutton for punishment of course!

Nice lead guitar work on this.  And if I interpret correctly, "Nitro drums" refers to Alesis Nitro Mesh E-drumkit, so you played those "manually"?   If so, super nice playing on the drums.  I recently tried to play drums over one of my songs to see if I could replace the midi drums, and found it very, very difficult.

Cool tones and drums. Well done brother.
Rock on!

yup...most of the time I play the Alesis Nitro electronic kit...it's a decent kit, really it's just above entry level or maybe entry level...but they do pretty good...they have a brain now (can be used with any of electronic drums, I need to get this) that has many more sounds that is 750 bucks but it has separate outputs for 8 drums...I want that because then I can have better control of each drum sound in the mix such as for reverb to snare and better volume control...in the Nitro you can adjust each drum sound but once you play it, it's just a stereo image so there is no adjustment other than overall to the kit...I think alot of musicians could be or are basic drummers but most give up to easy...if you think about how much one works at playing guitar etc well, that is what you have to do on the drums and then some...but i love banging away on stuff and I really believe it has added a big dimension to my overall songcrafting..

[Farrell Jackson]

Some good guitar work here Stephan. I can hear the improvement in your drumming from your first posts until now and it is impressive. Drums have always been and a challenge for me in my songwriting/recording process. I say you have it well under control!

[Bluesberry]

so much fun going on here

[BerryPatch]

That's some wild playing right there, it's like every instrument is soloing away... which is definitely a good thing! I can hear your passion as you play.

[Greeny]

Definitely has a live-jam feel. There are some psychedelic vibes when you start using those flamenco-y licks. Lots of great guitar to enjoy but it's the drums that really stand-out for me - very Ginger Baker in their jazzy, free-form expressionism. Nice one!

[DarrenG / The Devil's Toupee]

That's an excellent instrumental Steve. Living those guitar riffs and melodies. The drums are really good too. Got a nice beat to it.
Definitely has that loose, live   jazz feel in parts.
