@golem suggested I post some recordings I am working on. This is a Box of Frogs cover of 'Back Where I Started From'.

Bill Blessington: rhythm & lead guitars. Rob Andrews (me): vocals, drums, bass, rhythm guitar, synth.

Guitars used: Epiphone Casino (main rhythm) & Telecaster (all solos, chugging rhythm & rhythm right channel). Squire Jazz Bass. Pickups in all guitars are AMI, except the Tele has Bardens.

All virtual amps: Vox AC30, Marshall Plexi, Marshall JCM800, Ampeg SVT (bass).

EZ Drummer: 1964 Ludwig Kit, Sabian and Pastie cymbals

Enjoy!

Thanks for sharing! Rob's got a huge back catalog of songs he's done. It's top notch stuff. I'm glad to see him sharing it!

good playing and vocal, and drums.

I love this abd wrore a huge review but t nhis kundle s keyboard is so bad rhe so slow that it missed "submit" and did something goofy.

(Typing slooowly)... I enjoyed this track immensely. Here's Oasis' take on that hook (I'm an oasis geek)...

Just listened to your song again and want to pass on my lost-in-space comments.

- Sweet intro
- Love the Casino's lead tones
- The break is sooo damn cool.
- The harmonizing guitars were impressive but I'm not in love with guit no. 2's tone. I understand the need for dichotomy, though (achieved).

I'll check out your soundcloud page this weekend.

I appreciate the honest feedback and the Oasis tune! Guitar #2 was a virtual Mesa Recto and yes was trying it out for contrast. The Casino is a cool beast. I think I saved it from becoming someone's wall art, when i traded it for some repairs and restored it.
