The original inspiration for this tune was Jan Akkerman's Angel Watch, but you'd never know it now. Riviera Paradise is in there as well I guess. The melody comes across as Satriani-ish mainly because of the octave above and below tracks. It's a real mongrel of a peice, bits of everything. Hope you find it interesting. http://www.soundclick.com/bands/page_songInfo.cfm?bandID=801217&songID=6232918
Sweet composition & very nice guitar tones .. Such a contrast from my band's clips with are totally on the stop jams .. Is that an actual band... or sequenced parts, and/or the instruments all played by you Bob ..?
I played all the parts in with a midi synth and got a drummer to play with the whole caboodle. All the guitar parts were recorded with a Mesa Quad Preamp and an old Korg. A3. All the distortions were done by the A3; the Quad was just for warmth and tone shaping. Everything was recorded direct. I like the Quads tones live but it doesn't seem to record as well as I'd like; at least not direct. I bought a Keeley TS-9 baked o/d recently, I'm going to try that for some stuff as well. I find it's really hard to find a tone that tracks well.
