mark skinner Posted February 24 Share Posted February 24 (edited) Hello , backing up files and removing them from my projects folder, I found this one I put on hold. I remixed it and used some better plugins. I added a synth track and had to stop half way thru to replace the usb port on my controller. (Fun Job) I'm pretty heavy on the guitars and harmonica. Three different acoustics and 3 tracks from my G&L. It's a pretty short simple instrumental for now. Been playing with some vox.. Hear anything that gets your attention needing work , don't be shy , let me have it ! Thanks .. mark -Remix- 3 https://soundclick.com/share.cfm?id=14734816 Edited February 28 by mark skinner 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Joad Posted February 24 Share Posted February 24 (edited) Nice, is the key G#? or did you speed up the track a little. Nice guitar and the harmonica was a great addition.☮️ Edited February 24 by Old Joad 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Before I got very far into recording playing with some vocals , I just tuned down a 1/2 step as I normally do. Didn't bother to rename the track.. @KSband Appreciate it. I actually did enjoy doing the different (for me) electric stuff. I Really enjoyed doing the harmonica . I had to wait for one to arrive in the offset key. I remember when good blues harps were cheap ! So .. I had to buy a new soldering station , a pack of usb connectors and a harp just to get this one done. The party never ends .. mark Edited February 24 by mark skinner 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

noynekker Posted February 25 Share Posted February 25 Hi Mark . . . Great energetic piece ! . . . liking this one a lot . . . you move between acoustic and electric guitar so smoothly here. You mentioned "Been playing with some vox", so, what about a theme of Country vs. City ? (acoustic is the country, electric is the city) Also, super harmonica playing, really enjoyed that. (sounds like you and FedEx totally delivered) Bruce 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

daryl1968 Posted February 26 Share Posted February 26 I love that - finding something that was shelved previously and thinking 'hang on, this is good' This is really nice Mark - some great little subtle licks and ear candy throughout 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mark skinner Posted February 26 Author Share Posted February 26 (edited) @noynekker Thanks my friend . Higher energy songs are a lot more satisfying while tracking. Good idea about a lyrical path. I'll play with it .. @Bajan Blue Thanks for taking time out of your busy schedule to listen and comment. Means a lot .. @freddy j I Appreciate the listen and wonderful comment. This one has been fun indeed. @DeeringAmps Thank You for the comment(s). 6 hours ago, DeeringAmps said: did I mention more harp? I actually wanted to do more harp work. It turns out I really didn't get the right keyed harp to be able to cut loose on the higher notes. My pile of harps is so old , most are unplayable .. @daryl1968 Thanks , I was surprised finding this one myself and wondered why I never finished it. Must have gotten distracted with another project. I ended up removing 58 of them from my projects folder. Sure gained some hard drive space. The link now reflects a Very mild remix. Put a little bottom end in the Twangy Tele sections. I also renamed it , per @Old Joad catching it's actually a G# funk song. Nice catch. mark Edited February 26 by mark skinner 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mark skinner Posted February 28 Author Share Posted February 28 @jack c. Thanks mate. The link now reflects a Final mix. I'm calling this instrumental version "done" . I did a basic cleanup removing a few unneeded short parts. Did some work on the kick and bass and put a little more snap in the snare. I also added some percussion to help drive the beat. Cowbell for one .. (mixed back). Thank's for the listens and comments ! mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lynn Wilson Posted March 7 Share Posted March 7 You've long since mastered the art of the mix, so I'll just say what a cool song this is. Having listened to Steely Dan and Jeff Beck so many times, this is right up my alley. One of your great strengths is your versatility! I never know what to expect from you, and I'm never disappointed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
