kevmsmith81 Posted June 11, 2022 Share Posted June 11, 2022 I love this.... the atmospheric synths to open it up, and then it goes into that classic rock sound I expect from you. Great playing and vocal performances as well. Great work! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LOL the wah, i wasn't planning on doing a wah part, but as i hit 'record' and walked to the pedalboard, i blindly stepped on the budda wah, and just starting going. that was an off the cuff, in the moment solo, i was planning to over write, but kept it.

jwnicholson78 Posted June 23, 2022 Share Posted June 23, 2022 For some reason, the intro made me think of George Romero and Night of the Living Dead. And then the guitar hits, and that was a really awesome shift in tone. Really well done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really well done. so nice of you to listen and comment, jw thanks it was a pretty cool arrangement to work with, getting things to build exactly the way i wanted it to, took some serious "methodology" this one, i actually worked out the arrangement on paper, before i even started writing the music! i think i'll continue on that path, i've done 5 albums now, working out stuff 'on the fly', so this is a new approach for me.
