I am finally trying to wrap up a song I have had in my head for years...but I need help with some subtle dirty guitar leads in the choruses and a solo in the spot that will appear obvious when you listen to it.
Currently it's me doing all the instruments (drums will be redone when the rest of the song is) and flametheband was kind enough to lay the vox down for me.
** link removed, song completed **
Thanks any and all who give it a shot, download the mp3, lay a guitar track over it and I just need the guitar track in mp3 format...we will discuss transfer option when I know who I am talking to, the connection speeds you have, etc...

May 30, 2003 03:32 pm Sweet dude, thanks just for tryin...
Very simple Em > Am > C thing with Bm > G > Em the last time through the progression...easy stuff.
Jun 01, 2003 08:52 am sounds cool at this stage db...its gonna be top when its all done!
Jun 02, 2003 02:40 pm this song reminds me of danzig!!! i love those minor chords.
i might give the solo a try too, if thats cool.
Jun 02, 2003 02:41 pm Danzig? Now there is a comparison I have never heard before...but hey, give it a shot, see what you can come up with, the more the merrier :-)
If a couple folks get good solos created maybe I will re-arrange the song to accomodate a couple solos...or use one as an outro solo or something...
Jun 02, 2003 03:38 pm yes...not many people know, but glenn danzig always includes at least one orbison-esque ballad on each cd he releases. maybe download the song 'sistinas'...i can almost hear glenn's voice in the beginning of your song here.
Jun 02, 2003 03:40 pm no, thats flametheband :-)
hehehehe
Thanks, I will give it a listen. I know some folks that really get into Danzig. I like the tunes, but never got totally into it enuf to buy it or anything.

well i fooled around for a little while tonight and laid down some ideas for junkie. probably not subtle enough for what you were looking for, db, and i'm not the world's best guitarist. but it was quite fun! i've kept the mistakes in for your listening enjoyment. i was aware of the existence of some 'better notes' at certain times, but i was quite hungry and it was late and then i couldnt find them. the mix isn't well-done, either, but whatever...i just wanted to post the raw ideas. it was fun to play with this...song's got a definite vibe!
Jun 03, 2003 03:52 am heres my addition to this.. at 4am =P
ive been messing with variations of this all week. been a blast for sure. i am NOT a lead guitarist, nor am i trained in theory.. so this was quite the adventure for me.
ive got a lil flaw in my piece as well.. probably a couple. its all good though.
cool work fortymile btw. =)

Jun 03, 2003 03:21 pm Sweet, thanks guys, I will check them out tonight!
Jun 03, 2003 03:34 pm ive had a brilliant melody for a tune going through my head the last few days...i was well pleased with it
* until *
i realised it was the tune to this song! d'oh!
Jun 03, 2003 06:17 pm forty, I gotta get that guitar track from ya, that thing rocks. collapse, yours is super frickin cool too. I think I have an idea to use them both at different times...collpases is more subtle, good for under the chorus parts, fortys is really "in your face" which would be cool during the solos. Together I think it will be perfect if I can gte the two sounds to flow smoothly from one to another.
forty, can you upload just the guitar track?
Jun 04, 2003 02:37 am im glad you like it. it's not my style to play that way--i think i was trying to channel jerry cantrell. sorry its kinda sloppy. you can hear other mistakes when you listen to it by itself. i could fix them, but it would take a bit of practice. by the way, i liked collape's stuff too, and i liked flametheband's vocals. good stuff, all.
im having some trouble uploading to nowhereradio right now. seems like a site problem. so i'll try again tomorrow.
i have a question: whats that 'pad' sound, in the verses? very subtle, maybe some kind of flute...
Jun 04, 2003 04:52 am The only other sound besides the guitar, bass and drums is a softsynth choir that I warped out a little bit using PowerFX's Dyad softsynth.
Let me know when you get it uploaded.
Jun 04, 2003 01:32 pm ok. its up. same link as above. actually it was up last night. i just wasnt able to name it and i figured that would mean it wouldnt show up. but it does. it has no filename or description. you'll see it there.
Jun 04, 2003 01:42 pm cool, dude, thanks muchly.
The next upgrade to the HRC Pro proogram is gonna be a file sharing feature to enable easier collaboration among HRC Pro members, I know you're not one, but maybe it's something that you or anyone else might find appealing. Last week we launched the plugin and softsynth preset sharing feature :-) Only 10 or so up rightnow, but hey, it's growing :-)
Thanks again dude, I have a couple more tunes ready for some leads as well...stay tuned if you're interested...
Jun 04, 2003 01:49 pm definitely! i need as much practice as i can get and i love this particular side of it...trying to come up with background stuff.
Jun 04, 2003 09:12 pm That tune is working up nicely. Flame, I love your voice on it, Im gonna have to pull out an old ballad and let you have a go at it. Forty, Collapse, nice guitar playing as well.
Jun 05, 2003 04:51 am OK, a pre-mix/premaster version is up in my profile, not finished yet, but it's up there with the new leads and stuff.
I am gonna post another song (two actually) in a new thread, if you feel like shreddin for me a little more watch for 'em :-) Thanks for the help guys.
Jun 05, 2003 05:27 am i dig it db. i wanna re-record my guitar track for you. it sounds like my playing is just slightly off time. if im wrong, tell me hehe.
Jun 05, 2003 05:50 am Sure, redo it if you feel you want to, I like the subtleness of yours, it lays under the vox very nicely. But it want be a mastered track until I redo the drums, so if you want to change something, now is the time :-)
Jun 05, 2003 06:07 am hey noize, id love to sing on one of your tunes...go find me something! now! (or when you get a chance...its up to you dude!)
Jun 05, 2003 05:59 pm yeah, collapse, i really like what you put underneath the chorus. it's anthemic, it really adds something.
db i feel like correcting my 2 little mistakes at the end of my guitar part, but i'm kinda pressed for time right now on some things. have you noticed it? its glaringly obvious to me. maybe i'll have time to fix it, we'll see.
Jun 05, 2003 07:22 pm Ya, I noticed some little stuff, if you want to correct it, go for it, I am putting time into some other songs now to give my ears a rest from this tune so I can mixdown a little more "fresh" and not have tune burnout. So when you have time, feel free to fix it. You know where to find me when it's ready :-)
Jun 17, 2003 09:03 pm Jerry Cantrell is one of the under-rated guitarist of the present era of music. Absolutely phenomenal.
