Paul Bush Posted February 5, 2020 Share Posted February 5, 2020 Hi this is a guitar riff based song , of late I´ve been using the keyboard to write and I find my self repeating myself due to lack of musicall ability on said keyboard , so i´m happy to have this one to present , 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeeringAmps Posted February 6, 2020 Share Posted February 6, 2020 "A Tribute to the Eighties" I sense a pattern here. But, and this is not meant to be critical, production/instrumentation on this one doesn't scream 80's, at least to me; again not criticism. Overall, I like it! t Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Bush Posted February 6, 2020 Author Share Posted February 6, 2020 Yeah maybe late seventies , the production and tone quality isnt too good either , it was one of those quickie songs , I certanly didnt push the musical barriers on this one or on any of my songscome to that , they tend to lean to a pretty standard structure ...... I´m just soo eager to please ..... i think its time maybe to take a break for a while I´m really starting to repeat myself (musically).... maybe I´m getting lazy .. I really do appreciate the critism and feedback, a million times beter indifference and silence cheers paul DB 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeeringAmps Posted February 6, 2020 Share Posted February 6, 2020 Easy Paul, I like it! Don’t go getting down on yourself. Bring us on another, songwriting is a craft. Lather, rinse, repeat... t 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Bush Posted February 7, 2020 Author Share Posted February 7, 2020 Thanks Tom , I really do appreciate all the response I get here on this forum last year I posted songs on music groups on FC and absolutely nothing, not even something snotty which I dont mind at all , Ive also posted stuff here in Austria and once again ``nicht`s´´ mind you the competion here is rather hard I just heard that `` puppet on a string´´ by Sandie shaw just stormed the charts at number 24.... . I dont have a problem to look at myself in the miror and take stock, when I get in a music block or in a rutt, its then time to start jamming with drum tracks with different rythums with my trusted homemade Tele , my mexican Strat , and japanese Ibanez . And do some honest playing working up a sweat getting down and dirty (sounds rather American that) a super riff will allways rear its ugly head , play, jamm and inspire that´s my motto , once again thanks for the encouraging comments Tom regards Paul DB 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Douglas Kirby Posted February 7, 2020 Share Posted February 7, 2020 Cool song - I liked the tone of the rhythm guitars. It's a catchy tune as well - it had me humming along with it. I thought the mix sounded quite nice to my ears. Excellent guitar solo - was that a Tele you played on this? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Bush Posted February 7, 2020 Author Share Posted February 7, 2020 Hi Douglas . yeah I self built a kit telecaster and installed two tonerider pick -ups and I really love it , I wrote ``eddies t-shirt ´´ with it here´s part one of two. not bad for €200 ,00 cheers Paul DB 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul Bush Posted February 8, 2020 Author Share Posted February 8, 2020 Thanks Nigel , I think I did the riff with the tele solo on my mexican strat...... Now Mink DeVille I remeber them from way back , they had a hit with..... ..i cant remember the name but we sang long with it a lot , now that`s going to nag me for ages ``something swing `´´???

Paul Bush Posted February 14, 2020 Author Share Posted February 14, 2020 Hey guy`s I`m really pleased to hear that you liked the tone of my ``homemade Tele´´ , I´m still stugling a bit with the string height but the neck is just super I used a wood stain and then a 5 -6 coats of clear silk finnish laquer , just soo smooth .. and noo it belongs to eddie .... Ed........ cheers paul DB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhonoBrainer Posted February 15, 2020 Share Posted February 15, 2020 I liked it, a cool Rick Springfield vibe. On the lead vocal where it's not doubled, I'd be tempted to sing another nearly identical take, get it tuned nicely, and then mix it in compressed and at a lower volume. I can hear you do this sort of thing elsewhere in the song. Mixwise I think the bass guitar and kick drum could come up a bit. fun listen! cheers, -Tom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Bush Posted February 15, 2020 Author Share Posted February 15, 2020 Thanks Tom , I tried adding a second vocal and then mixed in a vocorder (3rd) type thing ..it souned like donald duck on helium ..I´m just getting to grips with all the features on bandlad ( learning by doing ) so I hope the next song wll be an improvement upuntill now Ive struggled with the technical side of things so i´m now taking my time , my problem is, after writting and recording a song I tend to rush the mixdown stage Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
