Ok ya'll. Listen to these 2 intro's and....

I'm working on a tune with a friend. He's not as into noodle as I am. But he'll let me play what ever I want. I've come up with 2 different ideas, I like em both, but for different reasons. One is a little more "look at me", but it still fits, even though is brings back memories of Stryper.

Give me your thoughts. They are 1:42 long, the part in question is from :22-:48. Once i make a decision, I'll go back and polish it up.

Both are too far back in the mix I think. Or my pc is playing mono-ish... could be..

I like the ending part (:45ish) of the 01 more. But, I like the 02 for the most part.

Sounds really nice.

Reinder · #3 12-15-2007, 11:23 AM

Definitely the second one. Nice playing dude!

mr.death · #4 12-15-2007, 12:09 PM

I like the second one best. Nice feeling.

Brosa · #5 12-15-2007, 12:47 PM

Both are okay! But the intro 1 is more melodic, so i go for that one.

Can't believe i just typed that... I'm getting old...:P

Awesome playing Darin!!

Wow - that's through a POD? That sounds great. I've been wanting to save up for a tube amp and I want to record, but maybe I should just get a POD - then I could do both for far less money.

Anyway, I like them both...the first is more melodic and I dig that, but the second is more aggressive and I also like that. Either would work!

**jemaholic** · #7 12-15-2007, 02:14 PM

#2 is the best.
The other one is too 'lollipop' for me. Also, on the first one you play akward notes over some of the changes.....second on is much stronger.

Darin · #8 12-15-2007, 02:45 PM

I'm leaning toward the 2nd one mysellf. I'm going to rework it a bit and tighten it up.

Thanks for your input.

I like #2 ~ both are good, but 2 is stronger on its own, while #1 is very Stryper-ish.

Great playing BTW.

Darin · #10 12-16-2007, 07:57 AM

Well, I'm more into number 2 as well. both are good, but I like #2 better, like bpd111 wrote, it's stronger on its own. Me likey

Darin · #13 12-16-2007, 09:59 PM

Ok, reworked some. Almost dialed in. This is where it's at currently. Check it out.

A bit to much for an intro solo, don't you think? I still like version 2 better. It has a rocknroll feel to it that IMO serves the song better. The new one has the same ellements but you pushed the "noodling" factor a little over the top, for an intro solo.

Wild_Child · #15 12-17-2007, 12:07 PM

I seem to be in the minority here, but I preferred the first one. It has more melody and will interest the listener more. Which is what good intros should do.

#2 seems more like a guitar break that could be used between a verse and a chorus, not as an introduction. But that's just what I think.

The bassline reminded me of a sped up version of living on a prayer. Perhaps you should try a talk box? Woah-woah-woah oh-oh woah-woah-woah oh-oh...
