15w can certainly be very loud full throttle. Depending on the amp itself, if it has a good master volume, it can also have usable tone at bedroom levels. Using OD and compression pedals, in combination with the amp, can also get you usable gain tones at low volumes.

Yes! Writing songs which are not popular is a sure bet on going nowhere. Been there, done that.

I'm exercising free will at the moment, by not getting banned due to my beliefs. You have the free will to buy our CD's, by the way.

Obviously! They keep stepping on my key board.

Of course it was, no penguin would stand for that torture.

Remote to the TV is one of my favorite conveniences. We have 3 TV's at our house, each with a remote, each of which I can never find after used by my daughter or wife. It used to really get under my skin that the remote was always missing. I don't even worry about it any more and don't need it; can do it with the iPhone.

I would, but I'm not in it for the money. Its a labor of love.

Yep, I use mine to blow up small print, as well. It my alarm clock, timer, gps navigation, airlines boarding pass, flashlight, debit card, Music player, remote for the TV, etc. etc etc. I’ve even gotten in the habit of taking a photo of my parking location in the airport parking garage so that I can remember where I parked when I return. It’s become a major tool for convenience in my every day life.

I use my phone more than the computer these days. It's pretty remarkable how far they have advanced.

Pretty much a mute point when there is no money in music anyway.

I follow the guitar nerd on FB. He’s already found a 59 Strat in Tampa in excellent condition and bought it from original owner.

Much better Douglas.

I got rid of my Studio.....traded it in for a 2017 Traditional.

He will be on Guitar Safari while there.

Dang, because I prefer the lime.

Thank you for listening Gary and for the helpful suggestions.

Nicely done Wook!

Ha, subject matter is a little dark for me, but excellent production. The only suggestion that I have is purely personal taste, but I like drums to be a little dryer so the punch through more. They sound slightly drum machine to me with the amount of reverb currently on the drums.

I would back off the reverb on the drums in this production. They get lost in this mix and need to be a more prominent part of the song to drive it along. I’m not sure what’s going on with the Bass because I’m not hearing it well either? Those two elements becoming more prominent in the mix would help this production a lot. Great lyrics, vocals and guitar play!

You certainly have carved out a unique style of your own that is hard not to listen too. Very Jesse-esque! I hear Beatles influences also, very White Album....Why Don’t We Do It In The Road....mixed with Revolution #9.

I agree with the comments posted so far. Overall, really good production, but everything is really dripping in reverb. Lessening the reverb may make the Lead vocal easier to understand. The Lead vocal needs more presence and clarity. Vocalist does a nice job singing and her vocals go well with this song.

Ah, so also a Clapton fan then.

...but I like squares.

I've never really considered myself either a Composer of a Producer....just a Songwriter. I have had to learn to do both Composing and Production to get my songs out. So far, I think I'm doing OK. Honestly, I don't care much for definitions either, as there always seems to be exceptions. End results have always been more concerning to me.

I have always found GC to be pretty fair about covering warranty situations. I don't want to sound as if I am not a fan of GC, I think they serve a purpose that is needed. I definately like the ability to put hands on a lot of actual gear and to be able to try it, before buying it.
