The ELVIS Guitar Thread...

Sometimes it may be better to leave the fizz in until you see how it all fits together, then slowly dial it out without cutting too much off the top end...

Oh yeah, you always want to see how things sit in the mix before you start going crazy adding, subtracting, or EQ'ing.

Wiley Coyote and Roadrunner on a coffee break, ay? Keep it up fellas. This insightful dialogue from the two of you is what this place needs right now.

I was thinking more "George and Ralph", but OK...

I gotta go do some work...

It's almost noon...

BTW...

Bashing someone for their twisted political or religious view is one thing...

Bashing a fellow musician over their musical attempts is stupid and very insensitive...

He says, after doing it himself for-fucking-ever.... seriously? But now the difference is you've posted something of your own. For which I congratulate you. That's also a good attitude to have going forward... just sayin'.


Anyway, back to constructive suggestion (not criticism): Next one - seriously, try doing the scratch rhythm to a click. You'll find it SO much easier to add (or subtract) the other stuff later, tellin' ya.... you can still RE-do the rhythms as a single pass, but it'll sound tight.

Did you just post that you are the most stupid insensitive person on this site???

[ELVIS]

No...

Btw, you might want to disable that download link if you're gonna start posting original stuff you haven't copyrighted yet, or at least registered with ASCAP... just a(nother) suggestion.

Welcome to my thread and welcome to ELVIS' headquarters...


Well, after getting married and constructing my own man-cave/studio and getting everything into place, the results are finally starting to come to fruition...

This is my first demo attempt of one of my song ideas from the ELVIS vault...

Three straight tracks on GarageBand...

No overdubs or editing...

Don't laugh...

I'm Runnin'

Not bad, doesn't suck.

[ELVIS]

Not bad, doesn't suck.

I'll take that...

ELVIS,

Just took a listen to "I'm Runnin'"... has a bit of a Thorogood/ZZTop vibe (and some others I can't quite recall while sober) and then at the 1:12 mark you turn into Steve Vai and shred (1:25 onward hit your stride)... from a producer's perspective, it sounds like you may have two different ideas here that might work better on their own... looking forward to hearing how you developing the song idea/structure. I know you're just playing into Garage Band, so take my comments with the tiniest grain...

Very cool, bro.

I'd agree with that - it sounds like the ideas for two songs.

I like the first part better - it has a slippery groove. :D

[Anonymous]

I can do better than that...

It sucks...
