Lynn Wilson Posted November 23, 2021 Share Posted November 23, 2021 When you sing of love, I really believe you. It's all there in your voice. I'm glad romanticism is still alive and well! It's sparse, but I wouldn't change a thing. I particularly like the simple guitar near the end which shows that the arrangement is nuanced nicely. You're on a roll. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Larry T. Posted November 24, 2021 Share Posted November 24, 2021 Hello Rex....great song, vocals, music, recording, mixing, atmosphere....only critique i have is that the lead guitar be played without distortion as the rest of the song is so clean and honest, strictly my personal taste ??️?? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bjornpdx Posted November 25, 2021 Share Posted November 25, 2021 Guitar accompaniment is very good and vocal is outstanding as usual. Tempo seems a little slow to my ear. Great job Rex -Bjorn 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mark skinner Posted November 25, 2021 Share Posted November 25, 2021 This is now one of my favorites. I Loved the haunting guitar. I agree with Larry about the lead guitar, I think there is just a little too much contrast between the two. Maybe a little different effect complimenting the main guitar. Vocals were spot on and I like the way you waited before bringing in the harmony part about half way in. I Loved the tone of the main guitar if you don't mind , what did you use for it .. Loved it .. mark 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AndyB01 Posted November 28, 2021 Share Posted November 28, 2021 Hmm I'd definitely play with a few different options for the lead guitar - perhaps clean but with some chorus and delay might work. I like the way you use rhyme and the BGVs are very good (main vox is not too shabby either) ? Another great job, as someone else said, you're definitely on a roll.

treesha Posted November 28, 2021 Share Posted November 28, 2021 Really enjoyed this song, very smooth and well done all around. Your voice is very expressive and has a sincerity to it. I agree about the sound of the lead guitar being a bit different, unsmooth for such a smooth warm piece. Anyways, great job ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Starise Posted November 30, 2021 Share Posted November 30, 2021 Loved the way you mixed vox left and right with the harmony. Mix has a lot of space. Nice warm earthy feel to the mix in general. This is a good example of something that need not be overdone to be good. You kept it simple and it worked very well for this. I would call it smooth country. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RexRed Posted November 30, 2021 Author Share Posted November 30, 2021 (edited) This song "Chivalry Is Not Dead" is already edited to the Spartacus movie series (the recent one). I have agreed with you all about the guitar being too aggressive and harsh but considering, it is edited to men battling it out to the death.... A softer solo may not have carried the content as well. The main guitar solo is playing while Spartacus lay dead on the ground... I probably could have picked a better distortion preset... But it is done for now. Perhaps if i had used my hollow body with the P90 pickups instead of the Strat. The preset I picked does have a really nice sustain but it is the tone that is off. I may revisit it in the not so distant future. 100,000 views in 5 days on YouTube... Not bad...
