Updated Demos

[Two hands31]

I got some good comments from people on the original versions of these, so I thought I'd post a message to say I've updated them.

Demo 3

This one started out as just the intro, and stayed that way for a long time, but I finally have a full song to it. I'm not adding bass, etc. yet as I'm waiting to see if I get a band together that likes it and wants to add to it.

Demo 9 version 2

This one I posted a long time ago, but I've re-recorded it. The original was in drop-C and kinda sounded sloppy and the amp settings didn't help any. So this version's in drop-C# to tighten it up a bit, and the amp settings were better chosen to make it more clear sounding.

Both are at http://www.soundclick.com/eleven59

All comments welcome.

Thanx Lately I've been coming up with unfinished demos cuz I hope to put a band together soon and I'd like to have them contribute to them too if they like some of my ideas.

Anyone else have any comments on anything?

Your tone is great! Really crispy, perfect for a seven string; it rocks! It reminds me of Bob Oakmans tone.

Demo9 v2 is better.
Demo3 is awesome! Normally I'm very focused on lead instrumentals but I like those rhytmn ones very much! I added a few songs to my 'jemsite multimedia archive'. (I recorded them via the stereo mixer..)hehe I wish I had those rhytmn skills, it sounds really tight.

Keep it up man!

BTW. Sorry for waiting so long with my comments but I normally don't have many time at home; so I do Jemsite @ work and there's no soundcard in the PC there. I always download the MP3 songs and listen them on my laptop, but on Soundclick I can't...I'm not registered.

Howdy,

I really liked it...your tempo is just like a metranome, solid all the way through, impressive. I also liked the tone, nice and thick but not over the top with gain, almost like an old Korn type sound but with more clarity and definition. I also liked your chord choices, the structure would easily lend itself to vocals.

Nice work, keep it up...you play and record really well.

Thanks for the comments

I pay close attention to my tone when recording. The left side on both was a bright sounding Rectified2 setting on my Flextone II. The right side on Demo 9 v2 was Brit High Gain, and on Demo3 it was Line6 Insane. The clean tones were mainly the Line6 Clean.

As for my rhythm abilities, I've heard many times I've got a good sense of rhythm, but I think it helps that I record to a click track I just wish I could pick faster for some things.
