ShredAstaire Posted September 8, 2010 Share Posted September 8, 2010 Here's my latest song...I've shared it with a few of you already and i wasn't gonna post it but I have been told that some of you may like it. Some of you may hate it, but thats cool too! http://www.box.net/shared/2fo725kcvm I did a version with vocals (Lord knows I tried!) but yeah...vocals are not my thing. :) But i did throw in a solo which is unusual for me. :) Enjoy...or don't....and if you got a new track, post the crap out of it!! I SEE your guitars all the time, but i don't get to hear them very often! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Artie Owl Posted September 8, 2010 Share Posted September 8, 2010 I'm at work and my comp is too slow/no good speakers, I'll listen when I go home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Bill Posted September 8, 2010 Share Posted September 8, 2010 Shred, I've heard the version with vocals, you need to post that one too!! It ROCKS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LarryUK Posted September 8, 2010 Share Posted September 8, 2010 It sounded ok to me. My only critisism would be that you need a bit more 'feeling' in your playing. make every note count. How old are you? What gear, strings, plec, etc do you use? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swleary Posted September 8, 2010 Share Posted September 8, 2010 Nope no guitar player here, just some guy that holds the guitar in order to get the chicks lmao...I'm a bass player but guitar is a close second lol... Hmm sounded good to me Shred.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShredAstaire Posted September 8, 2010 Author Share Posted September 8, 2010 Thanks lashurst! I'm 34 and self taught...i'm a better live player than recorded (i get nervous even by myself and get too stiff sometimes)...i'm not an overly confident player so I get your feedback fully. Thats my Fender American Special Tele through an RP500 pedal and direct into my Mac Pro. I use a Dunlop Jazz III pick (the little pointy ones)...the strings are the ones that came with the guitar - its still pretty new but yeah, I should change em soon! Bill...i dunno how i feel about posting the vocal version....i'm not as big of a fan as you are lol!!! Let me marinade on that for a bit but thank you.

Witmer Posted September 8, 2010 Share Posted September 8, 2010 Pretty tight, I thought. Did you write and play all the parts yourself? I think I heard 3 guitars and a bass? Hard to be quite sure in the high-gain genre - harmony parts tend to blend together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Bill Posted September 8, 2010 Share Posted September 8, 2010 Thanks lashurst! Bill...i dunno how i feel about posting the vocal version....i'm not as big of a fan as you are lol!!!

ShredAstaire Posted September 8, 2010 Author Share Posted September 8, 2010 Pretty tight, I thought. Did you write and play all the parts yourself? I think I heard 3 guitars and a bass? Hard to be quite sure in the high-gain genre - harmony parts tend to blend together. Thanks - yeah i wrote and played the guitars and bass and programmed the drums. Its 2 guitar parts (each is double tracked though) and a bassline...i toyed with the idea of bringing down the gain but the riffs didn't have the same punch, ya know? Thanks for listening you guys!!

GIANTRobOT42O Posted September 8, 2010 Share Posted September 8, 2010 Badass as usual. I like the one with the vocal too. You should post it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShredAstaire Posted September 8, 2010 Author Share Posted September 8, 2010 Badass as usual. I like the one with the vocal too. You should post it LOL! Fine....guys...take it with a grain of salt. This is my FIRST attempt at writing lyrics and singing...i'm not happy with the chorus - a little too "nu metal" or something for me....might work on that... Aw **** this is nerve wracking!! http://www.box.net/shared/r37fvgb1jq If i remember correctly, the arrangement is a little different....i like the newer ending better (instrumental version)... *cringe* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Bill Posted September 8, 2010 Share Posted September 8, 2010 Dude, it rocks with the vocals. Considering this is your first real crack at singing, it's awesome. Just one suggestion on the mix, bring up the lead guitars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Riffster Posted September 9, 2010 Share Posted September 9, 2010 I like it Shred, with a little more production those vocals would sound great. You did a real good job. I envy you in a good kind of way. I am in recording purgatory, 3 songs and can't seem to lay down a single good track, just not feeling it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
