Hey guys, just thwacked this new tune up to myspace if you care to check it out. It’s the first track in the player called Ba-da-dadada(yeah, I don’t have a title yet :p)

Remember this will be rerecorded properly so try to ignore the dodgy audio quality. Feedback welcome

Cheers

Ah…I remember seeing an extract of this song on your youtube page, I was hoping I would see it developed further! 😀
It sounds totally amazing man, I can’t give you any constructive criticism cause there’s nothing that I could even mention that needs improving!
Awesome dude.. that open string idea that starts at 3:56 is killer!

This is cool man, your melodies are always superb to most guitar players out there.
Tone is quite tasty too 🙂 If that is a pod tone.. mind sharing the patch? 🙂

Hey Ben, thanks for checking it out bro! Appreciate your kind words too man 😉

Glad you like it TJ, yeh it’s the xt live as usual(through a focusrite trakmaster pre). As soon as I hook it up back to the mac where I do all of my tone tweakin’, it’s yours.

Super track 🙂
I especially like the “intro” with the clean sound.

Amazing tune Rick, your sense for melody amazes me every time (among other things).

Perfect.

Oh yes, I remember this one very vividly from one of your youtube video improvisations. I was wondering when the entire thing would see the light of day.

You never cease to amaze me Rick, you really do. If you ever come to the U.S and end up in Wisconsin, give me a shout and we’ll go jam. 😉

Hey Rick! 🙂

Outstanding stuff as usual! Such cool melodies! There are so many cool parts, that I can’t pick a favorite (which is good, because I love the whole song! 😉 Ben mentioned that open-string (two-handed, I believe) lick (at like 3:50,) and that part is AWESOME, but I also liked the open-string stuff you did about 50 seconds before that where you were picking a lot of notes and using some open-strings as pedal-tones?!? Great stuff! 😎

Please keep us all up-to-date on your LP’s progress and E.T.A.!!! :confused:

You are The Best! 😀

hi Rick,
there was a track called “DT Awake” that rocked; do you plan on putting that one on an album?

Ah, that was written by Mark Moore aka DT Awake from the JP forum. Well, he supplied the backing track for people to do stuff over. I ended up doing the complete track with lots of harmonies and guitar lead lines, it took tons of work I can tell ya. So, no this won’t be as I didn’t write it. I’ve just finished recording the lead parts to my latest demo, I’m just waiting on my keyboard player to send me his parts and I’ll be posting it here for you guys to check out. Stay tuned………;)
