Please make only one vote, and not for yourself if you have taken part!

Voting shouldnt be on just speed or whatever. Its about feeling...

big dooley · 10-03-2010, 11:07 AM

i thought we had more people taking part in this?

anyway, just been listening to all the tracks, and surprisingly we haven't got real similar pieces being put together... everybody told a different story, which i think is great

don't know who get's my vote though... some passages were really great, but as a whole it's difficult to choose

IronMaidenNutter · 10-03-2010, 11:14 AM

I thought we had less lol it turned out better than i thought

big dooley · 10-03-2010, 11:24 AM

i'm missing lespaulnmarshall and eljeffe for instance

drriff · 10-03-2010, 01:11 PM

Wow, those are all so good that I am honestly having difficulty choosing just one (or 2, or 3 etc.) I will have to come back to this a few times to make a decision.

jensbrix · 10-03-2010, 01:45 PM

Australian got mine

Everyone did a great job though !

How do we know if people vote for themselves?

carnada · 10-03-2010, 01:51 PM

as long as razor dave isnt in it we are safe

Anyways, since u cant vote for urself I voted for Paolo who was my second favorite one after me.

Hopefully people are honest enough not to, but i only set it to one vote so if they do at least its only one

carnada · 10-03-2010, 01:57 PM

I was actually gonna vote for myself until I read the description lol

And whoever voted for me THANK YOU

when you set up a poll, you can choose the option to see who votes on what... i'm not sure if ironmaidennutter did so... if not, we'll never know... it's just a matter of trust and honesty...

thrawn86 · 10-03-2010, 02:03 PM

He didn't set up the poll that way, unfortunately.

Dooley gets my vote......you nailed everything down tight in that piece, both clean and dirty. Well done.

IronMaidenNutter · 10-03-2010, 02:03 PM

My Vote goes to Dooley, im loving that stuff man!

Michael RT · 10-03-2010, 06:50 PM

These are a great idea.

One every two months in different style, blues next?

thank paolo, i appriciate it... i feel i used a bit too much delay though... and the guitar isn't that high in the mix as others as i wanted to interact with some of the keyboard passages, making twin lead chops...

how do you do that passage at 0.53 by the way? i like that... are you a 4-finger player? i just stick with 3 fingers... my pinky hasn't got enough power

and i love blues, so i'm in

ehm well yes, since you ask for it

...
i think your vibrato is too fast, which makes it a bit nervous sounding... like you were the whole night hooked onto a drip, filled with red bull or something

i think a good vibrato is very important for long notes... i didn't like carnada's vibrato's either, as he was using the whammy bar all the time, which made the vibrato too deep and unnatural sounding to me... take an example on violin players, who are forced to vibrate using their fingers, which means the vibrato is done by their direct feel... you feel the tension of the string... a whammy bar doesn't provide that
whammy bars are great for vibrating chords and deep dives, but i don't like them for single note vibrato... but that's just me

also on the middle part you are getting more room, when the keyboard stop playing... listen closely to the drums too, as they open up for ya, to let her rip... instead, you are backing off, playing soft passages... when the keys are coming back there isn't that much room left anymore and then you decide to play balls out, using a wah... i think if you had put that passage into the middle part of the track, it would be more logical...

IronMaidenNutter · 10-04-2010, 07:42 AM

I get what you mean man

cheers, ill think about how i arrange it more next time. As for the Vibrato, i wasnt using a wammy if you thought i was lol... i just take strong influence from paul kossoff :P I was acturally quite spaced out when recording it.

rich24a · 10-04-2010, 08:52 AM

My vote goes to Australian, although I have to say I enjoyed listening to every single entry and they were all pretty awesome

it's obvious you weren't using a whammy bar

and yes, after watching that vid you can tell where the influence comes from...

but you'll agree that's a very different song then what we are doing here

big dooley · 10-04-2010, 11:51 AM

damn... aussie is way out of our range...

it looks like this is gonna be a battle for second place

I've been gone from the forum a little while, but I can see some things never change....

Big Dooley gets my vote by the way...definitely him or Aussie; you guys killed it.

Are you serious by the way Carnada? I don't want to look like a jackass taking you seriously if you're not haha

eljeffebrown · 10-04-2010, 12:29 PM

Clearly Australian! That was beauty from beginning to end. Stripped down no frills talent! He was in the pocket the whole time!

I really like what Nutter did in the middle, where he went clean, I was waiting for someone to do that. nice job dude!

Dooley, just killer soloing! very talented.

Sorry I didn't get in on this. Honestly I didn't know. I have been really busy W my band and haven't been on as much as you can see. I would love to do one for fun if you wanna send me the file.

Im looking forward to the next one if someone else organises it (cuz im shit at doing that job), blues, metal or whatever... bring it on!

Slow down your vibrato a little is all that I can find.........I loved the wah playing that was cool........Steve Vai-ish

JohnH · 10-04-2010, 02:51 PM

I voted Aussie, but they were all great. With that slow track, I felt very mellow indeed after listening to them. All were well recorded too.
