2nd Project- I Know You Rider

[kurtzs59]

I'm getting the hang of it now- spent all day with the little box. This one's for Jerry. Any comments?

Addictive isn't it?  Sounds great man, fast learning curve!

Good job-you got a nice voice-solid arrangement
Kinda reminds me of Grateful Dead

[hooper]

I also like the Grateful Dead type arrangement here and the Garcia-like scales on the lead guitar. And nice to hear that vocal harmony.  Great for an early recording effort! 

FWIW/ IMHO... I think it's not quite working rhythmically because the nice off-beat/syncopated rhythm of the guitars needs to be off-set by a stronger counter rhythm provided by the bass and drums... or maybe a (3rd) rhythm guitar. 

Keep up the good work!

Thanks for your input, and keep it coming. I keep fiddling with it- I know something isn't quite right with the rhythm. Does anyone know where I can get the Bill Kreutzman drum patch for the BR?  Maybe I can add a rhythmic element from another guitar as you said, Hooper. I'm having a blast with it and I think I'm learning musically from the experience, so it's all good.

Ok, I redid the "bass" and rhythm guitar parts, tried to spiff up the lead guitar part, and added a third part vocal harmony. I think it flows now.

[hooper]

Yeah, I think that's better now...

Sounds great! I got's to get myself a bass. Makes a big difference.

[kurtzs59]

I don't have a bass- I just cut the treble way back. Is it very obvious?
