i'll spare you the story. but i got all sad and made a song about it. The last yagt thread, somebody mentioned that I should get hurt more often so I make more music like the last song I posted.... dont worry.. I don't sing, its more in vein of Joe Satriani... erotic backdrop with really sweet melodies.. ..... Fact, I was kinda thinking of Joe Satriani's Flying in a Blue Dream, and I wanted something sweet, so i called the song "Sweet Fly" The fly, not from flying in a blue dream, but because I think solo leads sometimes remind me of fireflies..... so, sweet fly... I dunnoo..... i made it all from scratch... plotted out the drum line with reason, and did the rest using a variety of amps (line6 spyder and a carvin amp), effects, two guitars, a 5 string bass and a fretless bass....
I'm interested to hear what people think about it. Its still a rough draft, but I doubt I'll spend anymore time mixing it... I really like the mood... I played alot with changing modes of the scale I used (e minor), so I hardly actually play an E note... Actually, the key is E minor, but most of the modes I used were relative major variations, so the major feel juxtaposed onthe minor background really added a melancholly feel... I experimented with a harmonizer pedal, pitch shifting up two octaves when I played, then shifting what was recorded down an octave using the audio software, for a total shift of a single octave up (up 2, down 1)... it made for a nice decayish texture to the guitar.... On top of that, when the whole track was finished, I pitch shifted it up about a half step.... I used my ear instead of trying to make it a certain pitch, like E....
my only dislike is that I think sometimes the guitars are a bit to biting and sharp... but if I turn them down, they get hard to hear.... I tried to find the balance...
Regardless, find it here. link
listen to the first song. "sweet fly"
