Hi David ,

I enjoyed listening to your song Rise . Love all the cycles of chord changes and the subtle use of tonal / key modulations  .

Your song highlights and showcases your great touch and playing dynamics ..

You certainly compose and write some really good Music .

You sound great,

Kenny

See?  How could you NOT get inspired to make music with one of those?  I hear the following song was made by someone who had an entire flock of Llama Lamps... 😆

 

Craig ,

The guy that did that song had an entire flock of Llama Lamps ?

Well , that certainly explains why I like that tune.

Maybe I should get that one instead Kenny

If you decide to get a Llama Lamp be sure you wear a wet suit when you record . When Llama lamps get excited they are known for spitting out tunes

Hey Kenny, nice elevator music , not   I can't imagine how you come up with those lines, nice.

Hope you don't mind me posting my simplified  version.

I liked this music. I can tell you still have the chops.  

Hope ya keep sharin' wit us.

Hi Starise ,

Constantly learning and working on my chops seems to be an area of music where I get a little satisfaction .

Then the next day it's all like what just happened ? My fingers just got a case of instant amnesia.... lol ...

FWIW , what ever progress I've made on the guitar  always feels  mercurial  to me .

Yes, I hope to keep on sharing wit Y'all ...

thank you for your support and encouragement  .

This song has a lot of emotion - it pulls you in - sort of a reminiscing type of vibe.  The mix sounds very nice to my ears.

Nicely done.

You had nice octaves going during the songs opening phrases .. I enjoyed  the  space and breathing room you left open as the song played .

Yeah , nice use of electric Gypsy type of scales and sounds , Sounds good man .

Excellent playing!!  Your excellent playing skills really bring out the emotion of this song.

Hi Freddy ! thank you for the song listen and kind words .

On 7/26/2019 at 6:47 AM, Joad said:

very cool playing,  when I heard that bit at the start of the song I went out and bought a volume pedal.

Joad ,

A volume pedal is a cool thing to have ...I need to get one someday ...till then, I will continue to just use  my pinky.

( on the guitars I have that will let me do it that way )  .

glad you dug my geetar playing ...

On 7/26/2019 at 7:24 AM, Grem said:

I listened to this the other day. I thought to ask (but I really didn't want to go down that road again! LOL : ) if that was you using the volume knob or it was the guitar synth. Because I can't make out where the synth is. IJK. I am thinking it's the part with what sounds like vibrato/tremelo? 

Listened to it at work the other day and today I listened again on my monitors at home and I could really hear much more definition here at the house. 

Really good playing Kenny. Great touch as always. And nice tone. 

Hello Grem ,

 Glad you gave this one a listen and dug the sounds ...

I put a lot of thoughts into things long before I even touch my instrument ..

I live w a track primarily w my ears and heart only  . I listen I listen I listen ...then I listen some more .

If I dig the track enough I create a story and make a loose plan of what I might play ...then I will experiment and play over the parts of the song that may give me a problem ...

Don't get me wrong , I also will play over the parts I like , the thing is I don't like flying high on my guitars fret board and then hitting a section of a song that takes me out into a back alley , beats me up and then tries it's best to mug  me ...

To be perfectly honest I don't really care what guitar I'm gonna play or what type of gear I'm gonna use ..all that "stuff " is there is to serve me , not the other way around...

I generally  have one or two guitars out within arms reach at all times . Thankfully my super large dog does not think they are his personal chew toys ...

Depending on what Guitar I  have out  will determine whether I will use it or not . In this case I had a solid body and a Jazz Box out ...that's what I used ...

As far as guitar synths goes , I have older tunes out where it is all heavy synths and textures ...Now a days I tend to use my midi guitar playing in more subtle ways ..

In this song the most obvious  guitar synth section was  the section you pointed out.  Then there's the 12 string on the other side ( left )

My Bass playing was on a 4 string ,yet in  those sections my guitars counter melodies were analog Jazz box right&  Gtr Synth left ...

anyway that's all care to share for now , have a good one ,

Kenny

^^^^^^^bitfliper ^^^^What!

I wasn't expecting that at all considering the tune 😂 

Wow ,that little girl is certainly the cannon .. love all the little faces and expressions she does...

Man , she can sure play.....now I feel old

Kenny

H Grem ,

Yes your playing over the B T came out very good .

I'm glad you went for it ,

Nice playing Kenny - love those mutes (and everything else), great clean sound as well - so many places you can take this - a very enjoyable listen.

Andy

Hi Andy ! I have been messing around on the side w where I may want to take this ...I'm glad you like what I have done so far .

I'm glad I trusted my original playing instincts ..now I have to be super careful as to what I may add to the song .

thank you for your comments .

Super nice on the volume swells. You have excellent feel of when to play, and when not to. Cool beans!

cheers,

-Tom

I love doing the volume swells. They are done using only my right hand pinky w a synchronized left playing hand ...no automation .

When I was younger people used to tell me I would be a really good guitar player once I slowed down and played with a lot more feel  ...

They didn't tell me that it was gonna take a real long time and for me to get a lot older for that to happen 🤣

It seems like I heard a little Roy Buchanan in this.  Is that possible?  Anyway, I love your playing!

Hi Lynn,

Sure it is possible .  I love Roy's playing ...

thank you for always being so kind and generous in your comments on my playing . it means a lot too me .

As far as I know, the only thing that will save patterns into arp files is Project 5, which is sadly discontinued.

Yeah tell me about it ....I still miss P 5

All the arp patterns that came w P 5 are included in SONAR / Cakewalk ....they have been for a while ...

They show up both as midi files and pattern files

it is true you may not be able to save them as pattern file ..you can save them as midi files .

It has been a while since I have recorded the arp patterns in real time so my info may be rusty ...

what I used to do was set up a synth and then play the synth w the midi track section enabled ...then I would send that out to another midi track to record the arp affected midi as it was rendered  ...rust like I said but i did end up with a usable midi file w arp to ue any way I wanted .

any way I do not know if I'm helping any 🤣 if I'm not helping any , I'm sure scook will show up pretty soon and correct my misguided misinformation 

Kenny

WOW , Your Les has a nice expressive throaty sound ...( it is a Les right ? )

Yes that was a good listen . I enjoyed your song and your playing .

There was a nice uplifting vibe and mood through t the song as it played .

keep up the good work .

Kenny
