Display MoreHi !
Here is a 4 track EP based on a simple 5 tracks per tune formula :
Octaved bass - Clean & shiny stereo (natural double tracking ) chorused 80's guitars ( strat or tele ) - Bogner XTC lead (P90) - juno synth
Credit to Mats Nermark for the free profiles : LA clean & octave basses
please tell me guys if the EP is running fine, after some of you encountered bugs from the streaming platform ?
All 4 tracks sound great waraba well done
Brilliant Rock tune there Per, had me going from the first strum, drums are fab also, love that ride. Some nice shredding on there too. What profile did you use for the guitars?
Super AC/DC tones, then into your own sound that’s got the uplifting elements of U2 and Simple Minds. Great composition, very complete!
Nice, absolutely epic break as the heavy guitars come in! Great chords, this feels like like a penultimate track on an album, the one that sums it all up before the light acoustic ”her majesty” style exit track.
Thanks Per
I like the ups and down swings.
Thanks BayouTexan
very nice build and great acoustic tones , love the spitfire stuff
Thanks waraba
What a raw power Joe, beautiful song. Great dynamics and the drum opening is awesome. Cool one
Thanks deadman42
New tune, Don't be afraid
Hi there, i wrote this today. I'm using the TAF Blue profile for all the overdriven guitars and an STL ambient profile of the cleans. I also used a Spitfire Audio plug in for the ambient strings
New tune, Straight Flush
Hi there, i wrote this tonigh after coming up with the riff on my telecaster. I'm using the TAF Blue profile again, its such a great profile.
Great Big Guitars Joe, Well Played Sir
Thanks MuddySludge
Fantastic upbeat track. Love the energy on this super bubblegum. Terrorvision, Gun etc territory.
Phenomenal way you get this to build up, very smart riff, and the solo heavily reminds me of Audioslave, a good thing for me
The muse seems to be with you right now Joe, great stuff with these two!
Thanks Per I've just bee lucky really with my writing recently.
Good stuff as usual Joe! I like the Southern Rockish riffing feel of Alienator. Pressure Gauge has a nice bridge/solo to it.
Thanks BayouTexan
New tune, Pressure Gauge
Speaking of being inspired by the Kemper here's a new tune i wrote tonight. I picked up the guitar and played the riff and thought i had to get it down. Its using the TAF Blue profile again
I've been there 11 years ago, then I bought a kemper , saved my guitarist life and sent me on a path of creativity , at last I could have all these tones I was chasing for so long
waraba i have a similar story, The Kemper inspires me every time I pick up the guitar. All hail the Kemper 🤘🎸😂
you forget that it took a guitarist life : 20 30 years to achieve this . I mean you're fluent in the way ideas are instantly converted to great music, it needs a tremendous amount of experience. But I reckon it becomes natural after a while, a second nature, and a fantastic talent to own , not to mention the huge brain area involved with artistic & creative activity .
waraba Allot of what you say above is correct in that when you play for a length of time you have the ability to write songs but i never take anything for granted. I once struggled to wrote anything, and even stopped playing guitar for nearly 5 years due to lack of motivation, my creativity could dry up at any moment, i have been very lucky.
Oh yeas, tremolo start then into a great grooving rock riff and drum pattern. Synth part was unexpected but and cool change.
Link must be fixed as it plays fine for me.
Love the lofi feel to this one waraba, great guitar and synth playing
Display MoreYES!!!!!!!!!
This is high level rock and I love it. I should travel to your place to get lessons in all aspects of playing, writing, arranging and recording this genre.
Also listened to Real Life. Nothing in my real life sounds like that and that makes me a bit envious of your skills.
Cheers,
Mats N
Thank you so much Mats_Nermark. I'll be brutally honest and say that allot of these tunes just start off as very rough ideas, most of the time i'm just am extremely lucky and stumble onto something that i can work with. I am a one trick pony so this style of rock is very familiar to me, ask me to do anything else and i'm stumped 😂 I doubt there's anything i could teach you about writing and recording that you don't already know Mats, but i do very much appreciate your very kind words my friend.
New tune, Alienator
Hi there, wrote this tonight, its more a classic rock type thing. I used the TAF Blue profile for all the guitars
Another lovely groove on this one Per, i love the wee breakdown part in the middle, brilliant
Tough Riff, Cool Harmonies, Killer Solo, Excellent Ending. It's all there Joe.
Thankyou so much MuddySludge
Dearly beloved... We are gather here today for this thing called METAL!
I wonder who won't get it?
I know Joe gets it.
Haha BayouTexan
I could totally see Brian Johnson screaming over this, badass! You have the touch of pop that so many metal acts wish they could have, I don’t get why you’re not in some massive bubblegum metal band… or maybe you are already?
Thank you Per unfortunately it's just me, no massive bubblegum metal band lol. I think i'm am just lucky when the tunes come together
Very cool, agree with Per, I have said before I can hear your riffs/harmonies and leads easily fitting into Def Leppard/Dokken tunes and others of that ilk. Solo's on here are amazing bro, \m/
Thanks deangersmith Some amazing bands you have listed there. Thanks for the comments on the solo too
Hi Joe,
cool new song! Like it
Thanks hafi19
New tune, Real life
Hi there, i wrote this tonight. I used the TAF Blue profile for all the rhythm parts and the Angel Vivaldi 6505 wet lead for the solo.
Nice laid back track, yeah i often descend into minor pentatonic mode 😂 as you will have heard. Brilliant idea waraba
Brilliant GuyJames Excellent playing and tone. Band sound fab and nice to see a keyboard solo too. Also love the rock organ part afer the keyboard solo, mixed with the guitar this is right up my street
