A Guitar And Gear Support Forum

Been really out of it lately. Hadn't picked up a guitar in quite a bit it seems. Too long if you ask me.

I ended up throwing this together tonight, hope you guys like it. Its nothing too crazy but its good enough to get back in the saddle.

Forgot to mention, this is #48 for the year. Crazy right?

Recorded this one with the Kiesel SCB6H, Yamaha bass, kemper and axefx, parallaxe for the bass and a plethora of post production vsts.

As usual Narsh...a "Certified" YOWZA! YOWZA!! YOWZA!!!

Thanks buddy!

Damn, 48 new songs in 6 months. That's really impressive. And they've all been really good!

Recording/production question: the intro drums on this one have this off-time feeling to them. Did you record the drums first, then do the guitar/bass over that? And was that different than your normal process? Not sure why, but this song has a different feel to the drums than some of your other songs. It caught my ear (in a good way), and I ended up following it through most of the song

You should do more warm up - out of practice songs. Damn. The drums caught my ear first too. I was thinking of forwarding this to my drummer to say "play like this"
Can you describe what beat that is?
Whole thing is very killer queensryche.

Shit dude, that was awesome as always. And that one sounded more mainstream than a lot of your stuff!

Glad this got bumped. I saw it before but was too tired to listen. Then life happened. Really like this one.

Another great track of yours that BEGS for lyrics!

As usual, thank you all for taking a listen and I'm very glad you liked it. The intent was to find an interesting beat and really move the accents around. Its still 4/4 and couldn't tell you much about the underlying beats other than that.

My process changes every time but generally either I have a few chords or riff that I am noodling around and match a beat to it or find a beat in my midi library (I have thousands at this point) and match the riff/progression to that. In this case it was a little of both as I had something in my head that just needed to work out and make sound unsettling with the accent part. Depending on the complexity I try to really follow the click track to make sure I am falling on beats while the accents land in other places. I guess that in and of itself created that off beat feel that captured your ear. (Goal Achieved!)
