I still can't get over some of those Vegas prices you mentioned Dave ...

 Is there still such a thing as a "Dollar Store "  In Las Vegas ?   or is it now called  "The Twenty Dollar Store " 🤪

Yes Bill ! I do feel bad for you , but hold on there for a moment and  take a good look at poor Al Bundy .

Al thought he was dealing w a another whack y attention seeking  shoe and bag shopper .

When Al found out the show was rewritten  and he was meeting the new Mrs Al Bundy for the first time ,he got down on his knees and found his long lost religion

all the best

Wish I could say or do something that would help ease the pain of 25 years worth of MS your wife has had to endure .

As your song pic shows , we all have our crosses to bare .

I enjoyed you chord changes in the opening measures and as the song unfolded . I was pleasantly happy to hear your melodic lead playing .

It was tasteful and overall very expressive . Your guitar playing served the song well and got the message across .

all the best,

Kenny

Hi Bob ,

I dug your songs message and I'm feeling I may need to break away from a few long standing chains I've been shackled  to .

Guitars sound nice , video has some good visuals and effects that add to the song 's story .

It is obvious to me that you put a lot of thought and effort into your song and video ..it shows ...

Nice talking w you again ,

Kenny

I thought this song was very good ...Nice powerful vocals with loads of expressiveness in the vocal delivery .

Over here as I listen it's 2 am so I am listening to your track at low volume to medium volume conversation levels ...

I may revisit the song during a time of the day when I can turn it up a little ...

Overall what ever harshness I may have heard was during the early stages of the song ...the guitars were a little top heavy and thin .

After about the halfway point the guitars sounded very good to me ...Yeah the guitars tone had more meat on the bone erm I mean fret board . ,

Good gtr solo's w a nice melodic expressive tone ..

Good job ,

all the best,

Kenny

Hi Lynn,

Your song is coming along rather nicely  . It certainly kept my interest as the song unfolded.

You have a lot of very interesting things going on with your songs  arrangement and I like how you paid homage to various guitar heavy musical genre's .

Some of those sections sounded very authentic ...It seems you must be holding out on some of us guitar peeps around here ...lol

Also , I wish I could sing like you ...Oh Yeah , very nice .

Kenny

I don't have a dog in this particular fight ,  since I do not have or use Pro Tools .I can say right now I am rather disenchanted with the whole subscription approach to DAW's  and Musical software in general ..

Anyway that's my two centavo's ,

Kenny, I have transcriptions I got from Mike Steinel.  I knew him him when he had hair.  

Short phrases from Coltrane, Parker, Davis, Harrel he picked off over time.  They are short and pretty easy to put to use. They sound good to me over any style. If you'd like I could post some of them. Not all cuz there's about 50 pages. 

Hi Bill,

Sounds interesting . I do a lot of short transcriptions over here myself ..I have yet to write then down ...

How would you go about sharing a few of the ones you have   ?  A playing Fred over at the Tutorial forum ?

I'm interested . thanks again for posting ...

Its Ben my experience that guitar players get at least 2 of the girls , guitar players that sing  get more than the singer!!

hehehehe

 

How True ,

Those were the days my friend
We thought they'd never end
We'd sing and dance forever and a day
We'd live the life we choose
We'd fight and never lose
For we were young and sure to have our way
La la la la la la
La la la la la la
La la la la La la la la la la

Oh well , it was sure nice while it lasted ...

I found this link  under BandLab Technologies , Music Tech Productions , Essential Guides .

So you're saying this is inaccurate Kenny?  😆

Craig ,

We all know I don't have a girl . Lets ask Dukes old cell mate from the shelter  what he thinks about  getting  stuck with a cat .

Kenny

Once drummers find out the lead singer and guitar player get most of the girls , drummers get desperate and start beating things out of necessity ...

I always enjoy the ride when Pat Martino is in the elevator with me, nice job.

Shhhh don't tell anyone ,  A few of his licks may have made their way into this recording.

2 days before I recorded this tune I nicked every lick I could off Pat Martino's recording of The Great Stream ....

Thank you for the complement on my guitar playing . I have always Loved Pat Martino .

Nice playing Kenny! 

I spend all my time now jamming with my backing tracks. I don't get around to recording a full song anymore. For me the fun is in the playing 

Have fun with it too. Keep em' coming!

 

 

Hi Bill ,

I'm glad you got a chance to listen to this as I know you have a long history of playing  Jazz Guitar ..

Like you , I am all about the playing . I  spend a lot of my music time doing the same type of things you do.

I'm grateful you made it over here and took the time . BTW , I did enjoy your other post ...I thought it was funny .

all the best ,

Kenny

I Like your tune . This is the type of groove I love to play over and listen to ..

Crits ? nah , I'm digging the listen so far ...Oh wait on second thought if you ever do the 17 min version I want to play on that one ...

Kenny

This may be the first song of yours that I have given a  listen to.  Overall yeah , nice one .

Love the first time the arpeggio synth comes in . As I listen I find your tune has 2 things going on that elevate it in my mind .

1, it has a visual vibe to it , in sections I found myself placing mental images to your music .

2, Some of your melodies and parts of your songs arrangement have hinted along an Epic  type of Musical Vibe ...Thematic in Nature

I suspect that you could probably do some tweaks to your instrument choices and arrangement to flesh out a few rather nice off spring's and variations of this song .

As far as some of the other things mentioned.... the cymbals and all ....I would only consider that to be putting sprinkles on what you have here ...for some people that may be enough ...

At some point I would urge you to rerecord this song using as many real musicians as you can enlist to collab w you  ....sort of thing you do when the time is right .

The Sax , Bass , and Drum parts  played by real players w chops could easily bring your tune a number of notch s over the top .

Another thing to consider is your song could also use some rhythm gtr and drama based melodic doubling of the sax melody w guitar .. keys or both ....

Someone mentioned any vocal planed ? that person gave you good advice to consider ...

BTW  I do know my feedback may be out of reach conceptually at the moment ...we all do the best we can with what we have .

To me your tune sounds like you work alone . That is why I'm suggesting you consider my suggestions at a future date  ....

Wouldn't you want your music to represent and take on the momentum of metamorphosing  itself into a vehicle of self expression that includes becoming  a part of something much more greater than yourself ?

I know I would  ....

I did enjoy the listen . all the best

Kenny

Great stuff. Sweet guitar line after sweet guitar line jazzes and mesmerizes me and the rest lucky ones who get a chance to listen to this

Hi kakku ,

I'm glad you like what I'm playing on the guitar with this tune .

Back in the day I knew how to play like this , the thing is it took a number of years for me to get here where I could do so effortlessly .

The main difference after all the time has passed is being able to play within a zone where I have a lot of extra chops on Tap ...

Thanks for the song listen .

Kenny
