Unread post by firedancer86 » Tue Jan 28, 2003 12:38 am

acoustic 12 string improv with no practice...the lead/solo i think is lame, but i have been away over the weekend and havn't had a single chance to practice it yet...

I used my dl-4 and had some improv fun...tell me if it is woth persuing...

Lol.. why put up something that you put no practice in? oh i dunno, i do taht occasionally... but i guess if it's something liek this where there will be such scrutiny (as opposed to an orriginal song.. where no one knows how much time you put into it)... i dun really care =)

here are my thoughts:
overall it's very chill. and would make a nice interlude at a live show between songs... (a much shorter version obviously)... definitely re-do that solo track... it's way too busy for the allready busy rhythm side of the song (because of the DL4)... i often have that problem when i do delay looping or whatnot and im soloing overtop of a delayed echoed loop :) -- only really rock spot semed to be the transition at 3:16 and 3:25...

nice work in my opinion :)

Sounds good. Too much delay though. That part I don't like. The way you do the verse kinda sounds country to me. I don't like that part either.

I agree, why post something that you haven't practiced? Why not wait 15 minutes, practice, and THEN record it?

Also, this kind of song doesn't have much for a rhythm part, so it gets boring without the lyrics.

well my reasoning for starters is that...

1)I don't really play Dave too much anymore (never played this one)

2)It was 11 at night and I needed some sleep

3)and I just wanted tp know if it was worth persuing...thats all

and hey, try playing a lead on a looping 12 string! It isn't pretty (hence - no more 12 string for this song)

I was just messin on a cover late at night before school

Honestly, I don't see why he WOULDN'T post it. If he took the time, no matter how short, to record something real quick....why not post it??? I mean, this is what the forum is for, ya know??!?! :D I think we all agree here. Maybe a little more time and practice could have gone into it....but not half bad for just throwing it out there. I can't say the 12-string was my fav for that song....but still good none-the-less....peace

I liked it. I had no problem with the reverb, but I do agree that a) you lost me at about 3 minutes or so with the solos - way too busy; and b) 7+ minutes was just way too long. Nice effort, though, for not putting much practice into it.

thanks guys...obviously I'm not going to leave a 7 and a half minute mp3 for the final copy, i just had some fun and improved ideas of what I would like to do with it in the future (w/o the delay and especially w/o the 12 string :wink: )...anywho, thanks for some input guys :D
