Hey 06sc500
I'm all for experimentation with melody etc with guitar done enough myself for good and bad.  smile
Had a listen to your project and first off I found the recording on the quiet side and somewhat thin on sound lacking perhaps some bass.
Looping is a good idea (Get it right once and your off)  but unsyncing notes is not to my taste.
Guitar instrumentals are difficult to pull off without the inclusion of other backing instruments unless you are a great player like Tommy Emmanuel etc....
It's all a learning experience....
Hope you find this constructive.

Huhh.  I thought that drop-D would help, and I added quite a few of those low-octave D's in there, oh well.  Thanks anyway.  I couldn't figure out how to loop (IDK, I'm a little slow sometimes), but I used the "repeat" effect once i got it.

No, they are just notes up an octave and they aren't completely in time with the other melody notes, they're almost like an echo, and I think it sounds ok.

It's an all-instrumental acoustic version of Sweet Child O'Mine.  For the main riff that repeats over and over and over and over, I had to screw around with some of the tools to get it to repeat itself without any pauses or anything.  Also, you may notice that the main riff isn't played with regular notes, but rather harmonics, which I think sound really cool.  Also, one other note, if during the melody it doesn't sound like the two parts are in sync together, they're not, I intended it that way on purpose.  Please offer any advice/comments.

It is six sets of two strings each, really close together, almost so close that you can't pick each individual one.  The top two strings, usually tuned to E and B, have two of the exact same string, same tuning, next to them.  The other four strings, G, D, A, and E, have a string tuned to an octave above each corresponding note.  This allows for some cool harmonics and octaves and an amazing, full, ringing sound when strummed.

Okay, well thanks, I guess is only if you're an actual recording musician then? So I'm fine the way I am, right?

What do you have to do to ensure that your music won't be stolen online? Not like mine is that great, but just thought it would be a good idea when I'm song writing.

Musicians Friend offered me $148 in-store credit for my guitar, which I've described before, and I've been told it's worth around $225+ (I've looked online at used ones for sale, and found out the same for myself).  Should I just list it on Ebay instead?

I will most likely be buying an acoustic-electric here soon to replace my old acoustic, and I will be selling or trading in my electric in order to do this.  However, after I save up some money, I want to purchase a new electric, so I want to keep my amp that I have now.  If I mess around with the eq's, can I get a decent sound from my 30-watt Crate if I run an acoustic-electric through it? I'd like to eventually get an acoustic tube amp, but not right now.  Thanks

Good job playing there stephen....i just sent you an email about it..i just listened to signe also...sound quality was a little better there...was that an original?

Eric Clapton from the Unplugged album.  His version is instrumental as well.

After Riddler's message I have just listened to 'Signe' and that is a far better balanced recording. Well played and a good recording.

It certainly sounds very Eric Clapton so I am guessing it is one of his pieces.

Roger

Yes, from the Unplugged album along with Tears In Heaven.  I might record an instrumental Layla and Old Love acoustic too.

Stephen both songs were musically executed well there may be a little distortion on them but that can be adjusted by lowering the volume and I would use the equalizer to add a little more bass and accent the highs a little more there seems to be to much mid range volume,and I would cut down on the reverb, but Tears in Heaven was pleasent to listen to your guitar work was very nice smile

Thank you!  I'll mess around more with the eq's next time.

I dig bright tone.  As far as a slim body, this one has the biggest of all of the Ibanez AE models.  And I have played the same model, just a different name and finish (and loved it)
I'm about 100% sure I want to go with redburst....

I haven't been creative enough to come up with an instrumental of my own yet, but check out my recordings of Tears In Heaven and Dee on my Myspace page.  Dee sounds decent, as does the other, but there may be some slight mistakes in Tears In Heaven regarding track mixing.  Oh well, please give feedback!

I'm not looking to invest a few thousand in a Taylor or Martin, but I need to move up from my Rogue, so this one really caught my eye.  After reading reviews and looking at it, I got a chance to play a similar model.  I've decided this is the one I want (I'm torn between violin suburst and red sunburst though).   Anyone own this or know about it?  Here's a link:

I'm thinking of selling/trading in my 2000 Danelectro Hodad 12-string electric.  I'm getting a quote from Musician's Friend, but I might just list it on ebay.  It's in awesome condition.  What would one of these be worth?
