Posted an experiment on Soundclick - Mugician - 00:10 04-12-08

I've been trying to get something (anything!) up for people to listen
to for a long time now...

This was just an experiment: MIM Strat that my friend gave me> Boss
DD-20> PC sound card

The program is AV rack. It comes with Windows XP. It's a press record
and that's that kind of program.

The jam is a progression I came up with earlier today. I decided to
call it Junk.

The loop is off, but I dug the rest of the recording too much to try
again. It's a first take. (Lazy):

I am coming out of lurk mode just to tell you that I thought your clip
was extremely entertaining, clearly improvisational, and had some
fucking nasty sweet solo picking there...superb tone, great vamp, and
again...just sweet soloing along with Montgomery type octaves rhythm.

On the Soundclick player, using their time clock, the first :12
seconds of the song is silent until you get ready to start ad hear the
finger noise on the strings, then it starts at :14 secs.

Cut out the first sound at :12 secs, and start where :14 secs
starts..immediately at the start of the actual playing. Mute it, cut
it, whatever your program does...but get rid of it.

And the song should start at a max 5 seconds or so. Making us wait 14
secs is a long time.

Then, I think you should do a straight linear fade out from the
plucking of the first harmonic at 4:08, to fade out completely by 4:31
or 4:32. NOT at 4:33, when you spank a note again.

Then that would sound like a different kind of clip, and I think it
would be most excellent editing to do so. Repost if you decide to.

Killer playing, dude...I totally enjoyed that, and am gonna listen to
it again right now.

HOWEVER>>>>>

"Mindfully Fullminded"...holy shit..that was frigging fugging
brilliant. You simply MUST expand that clip and make it more...even
just a lead on top would make this unbelievable.

Seriously...that was *beautiful*.

Please post more clips.

Peace,
Jason

Thanks much. Really appreciated.

Would love to expand on these. Play 'em with a band and such... Lots
of ideas at the moment.

The song has been updated!

You're welcome.

Cool...get 'em on tape, one at a time.

Well hell...sure has. You edited the beginning...cool. Sounds much
much better.

The fade out...cool too..you faded where I suggested, so I am honored
you must have agreed.

Sound cool as hell like that with the fade out..but you did it too
quick....make it longer like I was saying until right before that
spanking thing you did at the end....

Right now its such a quick fade out that you miss a second harmonic
run you do right before the end of that section...you must get it back
in the fade out's ending, and try that. I think you will like it, as
it would be a sweet 24 sec slow fade.

I dislike jazz in general, but this was way cool and impressive. My
hat's off to you.

Cheers,

Dee

Thanks! I'll be recording *something* on Friday to put up. I really
need a mic though. I love to play with effects.

As for further edits.... I tried it out, and I prefer it this way. I'm
gonna retry it at some point and come up with an actual ending.

Thanks again and listen on!

PS - I welcome any and all criticism (as long as it's constructive,
I'm not down for malicious what-nots and who-nows)

God damn, you *are* lazy.

You are editing out a recall of the harmonics you hit again! That
sucks because that was a cool thing, dude.

I already downloaded this new version you redid, and have it looping
on Media Player. But it fades out too fast.

So would you put the whole original back up there? I'll download it,
and put a fade out on it myself.

Its just so cool, and I just want to play it on my computer. Anyone
here will tell you I won't "steal" your shit, nor will I put it up
anywhere for anyone to hear or download. I just want the tune on my
computer, please.

And if I am trying so hard to get you to do this, then I *must* love
the tune..and I do..again, it was brilliant.

Thanks,
Jason

BTW am I hearing little digital-kind of clicks and pops on the tracks?
I've been battling those all the time I've been making 'home
recordings' and all I can find for culprit is bad electricity. I've
noticed I get those especially whenever a coffee maker thermostat
turns on and off etc...I have a MonsterCable shielded power strip now,
but even that doesn't seem to filter all of it out, but it helps.

Cheers,

Dee

Sort of on the same lines as DeeAa, I'm not huge into jazz, but this was
excellent. I know that you mentioned a band in one of your responses, but
have you tried a looper with your style of playing? I picked one up a
couple of weeks ago, and I gotten into the mode of creating my own backing
tracks (similar in form to what you did) and then I can work on soloing
techniques. With your satyle of playing, it sounds like a looper would be
the perfect compliment to your style of playing.

The second song you posted on Soundclick is very different than this clip,
so my comments are really directed towards "Junk".

Very nice stuff. I enjoyed listening to this.

Rob

What the others said - Post More Stuff. Very nice, Devon! If you
wanted to, this could translate pretty easily to a Jazz/Blues fusion.
You certainly have the chops for it.
