FindingTheEverlight Posted July 24, 2009 Report Share Posted July 24, 2009 OK, this is a definite rough copy of this. And it needs major adjustment to it. And there are major mistakes and rough spots. It's a new style of music I've been working on, more of a Jazz Fusion. Eventually I want to incorporate some drumming and screaming vocals to it and add electric guitar, for it is all acoustic. But please give me your honest opinions on this and I will be grateful. Here is a link to a site where you can listen to it and download if you like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Willieh Posted July 24, 2009 Report Share Posted July 24, 2009 It's a pretty nice track. But it wouldn't sound good with screaming vocals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FindingTheEverlight Posted July 24, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 24, 2009 Once I add some electric guitar and distortion, I bet it would. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well in that case screaming vocals might be appropriate if you're aiming for a progressive kind of sound. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FindingTheEverlight Posted July 24, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 24, 2009 Yeah, I know. I'm in a post-hardcore band, and I want to put something new into the genre. (Also, I neglected to mention, this is my first attempt at tapping) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thewho Posted July 25, 2009 Report Share Posted July 25, 2009 Its pretty good.I would seperate the guitar mixes into stereo, and double track the rhythm guitar parts to get a massive "Wall of Sound". but thats just my opinion.I'm into post hardcore as well, so I understand were you coming from. I play in a band myself and we are currently a 3 piece. I dont like playing leads, so I just tune my guitar a half step up (F#) and play messy harmonics with my low E string. you can Imagine how it sounds with a fender reverb and a Big muff electro harmonix pedal.

I was also considering double tracking the rhythm. And yeah, I can imagine. But I'm not much for any pedal besides distortion though. And my guitar is usually in a drop D (standard for this song though, cut I'm playing on acoustics and classicals). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And my guitar is usually in a drop D (standard for this song though, cut I'm playing on acoustics and classicals).I'm not so much into recording with an acoustic guitar, because I can never get the right sound. I recently tuned my guitar in G# (all the strings) because I don't own a flanger, my freind does. I dont know if I'm in my "sonic youth" period, but it is annoying having 2 guitars tuned diffrently. as for classical, I'm not that much of a fast picker:( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've never heard of that and I'd like to attempt that.I have a line 6 amp with a built in flanger. For the most part, its cool, but it does not have the full capabilities as a normal pedal would. I usually use my friend's pedal but it is too complex for me:(. I think its a boss flanger BF-3 (it has a purple-ish color).well, if you have ever heard of the Mars Volta, they use alot of disonance, mainly because of their tuning and effect pedals, but if you use a normal pedal, mainly having the channel of the amp clean, you'll get this sound. (sorry, that was the example I had in my head lol) If you run the effect on a clean channel on the amp, you should be able to get that warm, clean sound. (the flanging sound gets emphesized too much when you use alot of distortion, so I try not to use it alot). If you want that weird mars volta sound, I really don't know much about it.
