A new song "My Best Guess"

[tom r]

Hi after such nice comments for my last attempt i thought i might try something else. This song is 4 tracks. the main guitar is my Guild Deco being picked then a bit of strumming on a second track. Once i'm more confident with bouncing i might put some backing vocals on. Anyway comments always welcome.

Hi just caught up with your stuff - welcome

I like the sounds you're making. I was a huge Jethro Tull fan when I was younger - this one touched some of the same chords in me as Ian Anderson's 70s stuff does.

I'll go and look for your other one

Hey cracking vocal and guitar and your song is really got a nice vibe really enjoyed it.

Thanks very much Andy and side effect. I am a fan of the Tull... is that ok to admit to??

[Bluesberry]

Geeeeez this is excellent.  Nice guitar work, really nice vocals, you have a very cool voice.  I don't hear the Jethro Tull so much ( I love Tull) just a really cool tom r acoustic song.  Great job!

Thanks very much Andy and side effect. I am a fan of the Tull... is that ok to admit to??

On here it is 100% ok to admit it!

This is really good - You set great mood and tone. Super guitar playing.

I think you mixed the 4 tracks well, so now it's time to:

Bounce! Bounce! Bounce! - Panned background vox would trick this excellent tune right out!!

Later,

Thanks everyone for the comments. It's all very encouraging. Yes i will have a play around with the BR and try some bouncing. I think i'm needing a couple of extra tracks just for a bit of backing vocals mainly

anyway thanks again

T!!! (Osckilo) You've got to hear Jethro Tull - might not grab you completely, but there will be something for you hiding in there. My favourite stuff is the 70s albums - Minstrel in the Gallery, Thick as Brick, Aqualung.

Tom r - I was a bit worried after I posted that JT reference, I wondered a) whether you'd know who they were, b) you might think they were cheesy old folk-prog-rockers

Sounds like it came across how I meant though

BB - it wasn't so much it sounded like JT, there was just this "shiver down the back of the neck" thing, and a certain mood was started by the music, and I thought "Jethro Tull used to make me feel like this" (and will again when I dig the CDs out later!!)

[Geir]

Great song Tom. Love that melody, and yes, I can hear some JT in that song too. Both in the melody and in that sharp electric lead that contrasts the mellow acoustic. Great performance.

keep'em coming !!
