That's just rock'n roll

Hey everybody! It's been a long time since my last post...

But here I am with a brand-new piece of work to show you and, of course, ask for some feedback.

It is a straightforward rock song written back in my school days. This version is more like a preview, since there are still some parts to be fixed and added to it. Anyway, I did my best guitar playing in it, and that's why I would be pleased to hear some criticism from you.

Thanks for your time,

It's nice. I love this style of rock, and I'm loving this song! You certainly know how to shred, don't you? X) :toothygrin:

I can picture this on a music video. You're pretty good dude! :D

I'm quite impressed with the quality of the recording in this jam (and the playing). I for one would be happy to pay to rock out to this live.

if you don't mind i offer a few compliments and criticisms

*the central chord progression begins to grate on me before your changes to other progressions occur. (doesn't your rhythm guitarist get bored?)

*I love the seamless transition between the keyboard lead section into the guitar lead section.

*the unrelenting sizzling hi hat in the makes it feel a little muddy at at parts.

*Toward the the drummer does a bit of stop-and-go on the high hat, which brings attention to the muddiness i was talking about.

*This song seems like it was constructed to be incredibly fun to play, but always keep in mind that the music that is most entertaining for you to play, or for people to see live, might not be the most entertaining to listen to recorded.

*i would love to hear this on a tv commercial or a video montage of, say, extreme sports footage or something.

Thank you Cloudwind and xzzap for the valuable feedback! I'll keep working on this song and I will let you know as soon as an updated version is available.

Man this is just awesome! I enjoyed every second of it! Keep it up please :)

I kinda doubt if this would have ever been played in The Prancing Pony, but if it had been, I'm sure Frodo and the boys would have loved it.

Good stuff.

What software did you use to produce this?

Ron

I hope they would... =) At least, I would love to play it in such a place!

Anyway, for more Middle Earth related stuff, take the time to check some of my material on the Incidental Music section.

As for the software used, everything was done in Steinberg Nuendo 3. (I'm not that knowledgeable in recording procedures, so I'm afraid I can't provide you with any further details...)

Thanks for the imaginative feedback ;)

Pedro

WOW I loved it! This is my kind of music! I would buy your cd if you ever make one!!!!!!!!

Hey, thanks for the feedback mate! I'm glad you liked it!

I'll certainly let you know if I ever happen to release it officially :thumbsup:
