So because I seem to have problems with how messy my playing is I'm now starting to practice on this aspect to improve things. This one is in essence a bit of an simple blues exercise on trying to play riffs that have a certain amount of movement around the tempo beat, but just tighter than I usually do and still keep some sense of feel there. I was really disappointed at how many times I needed to redo certain riffs before they sounded right, occasionally it took up to ten takes which took way more time than I'd have liked, but practice will I hope make things a little better over time.
I just fear I may be rhythm deaf (is that a thing?) because so often it feels like I'm playing it right, but then I listen back and it's like "so how many thumbs does this guy have again?". At other times I can tell I'm out but can't seem to adjust fast enough to fix it, my brain hears it but my hands don't want to cooperate.

Editing is your friend; if discrete bits are out-of-time you can easily shift them.
Of course you know this, Per. IMHO unless you plan to perform everything live it's not an issue 'though.
I liked the upbeat vibe of this one, mate.

Nice one Per, apologies for comparing it again to known stuff. But big portions of this one sound like late 90s U2 to me (and especially the trillions of remixes of their stuff). Bono could easily sing over it. And a nice slide part in it. Very cool

Thanks for checking it out chaps. I'm trying to minimize editing Monkey_Man it's great for constructing structure but if it's fixing performance then it always seems to be a subtractive process, at least when I'm doing it to my own stuff it just never sounds quite as good and it loses the energy.
deadman42 Things like Elevation right? So this is really more trying to emulate the sounds they were copying themselves from Manchester, but that's probably the first exposure you would have had in America to the sound. So if you're interested (I can go on for ages about this stuff, but feel free to skip if you already know it all or couldn't care) it started out back in the rave, electronic and industrial scenes in the 80's which merged together in the Hacienda
