jbraner Posted June 8, 2020 Share Posted June 8, 2020 (edited) Hi, Here's my first Coronavirus Lockdown output. It's called "Shedding" and you can here it here:https://soundclick.com/r/s8ddlt This one features FUZZ - as in real Fuzz pedals ? Played with my Strats and Tele (sometimes through a Leslie) Trilian Acoustic Bass Superior Drums The usual Suspects... Please let me know what you think... Don't forget - Download CDs (including my newest one "Pull the Other One") Are still available at https://www.cdbaby.com/Artist/JohnBraner and all the normal streaming services. CDBaby won't be selling physical CDs anymore - so just contact me if you want one - or look on Amazon or Apple etc. Edited June 8, 2020 by jbraner Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeeringAmps Posted June 8, 2020 Share Posted June 8, 2020 Overall I'm in at 1/2 a ?. I've mentioned on the forum before when I see a tune this long I'm looking for ways to shorten it up. I noticed you tagged it "Instrumentals - Film Music" so I can see it playing under the credits as I exit the auditorium. And at the 5ish minute mark things changed... But that's my 1/2 a ? rationalization. Which kit in Superior? Maybe shoulda asked that first ?? MODO sounds pretty damn good. Won't ask which fuzz, frankly I don't miss my Arbiter atall. You did certainly get usable tones, that I must admit. tom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbraner Posted June 8, 2020 Author Share Posted June 8, 2020 Hi Tom, Thanks a lot for listening and for your comments. First of all, I made a major f*&% up - it's not MODO (that's the next somg) it's the Trilian Acoustic Bass! (I edited the original post). Drums are a DW kit from the Darkness SDX (my fav at the moment). I know nobody likes long songs - but I do. And this is supposed to be like coronavirus - so it sticks to you and won't go away 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Douglas Kirby Posted June 9, 2020 Share Posted June 9, 2020 I liked the main guitar riff - it drives the song along quite well. Cool instrumental. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David Sprouse Posted June 9, 2020 Share Posted June 9, 2020 Love this John. You're using the musical space better than in some of the past songs . Horowitz intimated the magic is in the pauses,the silence is just as important as the sound. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bapu Posted June 9, 2020 Share Posted June 9, 2020 The smallest of crits is the drums feel too dry (for my taste). Maybe just a smidge of verb on the snare would give it some flavor. Guitar fuzz tone is retro-cool. Tones changeup was welcomed. Moody and foreboding for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbraner Posted June 9, 2020 Author Share Posted June 9, 2020 Hi Bapu - thanks a lot for listening and for your comments. Drum reverb is a tricky one - I'm not a big fan of too much reverb - on anything Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
