Very nice work! It's difficult to create instrumental music that sounds good and captures the imagination of the listener.

I think you did some really nice playing and writing here. Good stuff.

Sounds good man! One thing I think you should consider though is that you might be rushing the tracks a little. For example, I think you cut the first track (and maybe others) off a little early. If you let the last note ring a little longer, or even just leave a bit of extra silence at the end, I think it would let what we just heard sink in a little and feel more like its own independent piece of music. I also noticed a couple of other places where I would have extended an existing pause a little more within a song.

Even with a fast song I think it feels better if it ends either very abruptly on I guess a staccato note or something else that feels like a clear ending (like the end of Valor), or if it's drawn out a bit more and given space like I said.

On a similar note, there were a couple of times when you started to slow down the tempo, but you picked it back up pretty quickly and personally I would have liked to hear that slower section go on a bit longer. Those are fairly minor issues though, just something to think about next time. Overall I enjoyed it!

thanks a lot! most of my guitar tones on this song (and track 2) were made with an IOS app called Jamup believe it or not.

got the cd in the mail Saturday. I'll hang onto the note you included for when you hit the big time. That way I can say, "I "knew" this guy when he was just one of us."

ha smart move.

 

[The Fight]

Good sound, what do you use as far as gear? Great job!

 

[littleredguitars2]

i used mostly my es 335, and a couple others like my custom tele to record this album. all with bare knuckle pickups. didnt own any PRS at the time. used mostly my axe fx ultra for the tones and had my buddy stemage do the mix and master as well as some other stuff. he's the reason it sounded as good as it did. he's great.

 

[goat-n-gitter]

You play and write very well - this is all very entertaining stuff! That's not easy to do with instrumental guitar music!
I definitely enjoyed it!
