Here Today... Gone To Hell!

Okay... So like I said at the other thread, I've made us all a Yahoo! account were we can put our own recordings of different songs (mainly GN'R - some exceptions may occur).

Plus I've made a section for Tabs. Please do not post the same tab twice. Check first. Plus as time goes along, we may discuss about what tabs are the most correct, put the best pieces together, and delete the inaccurate ones.
Here's the link:

Important
Make your filenames named as follows: "songname (author)" so people will know who it's from.

Hope to see some of your works as soon as possible.

And the reason here is a thread like this, is that people can write their uploads over here, so we don't have to log on to Yahoo! to check if there's anything new...

Nice work, Skeeb! [ok]

I might add something if I get the free time.

I added the first 10 seconds of paradise city. The program I have only allows ten second mp3s. but its alright and I'm pretty sure it works

so thats that

I will get you Paradice City and Knocking on heavens door soon. I'm recording next week on sunday so i'll have the CD's some point in the next few months. Then I'll get them online so you can all marvel at my band!

I added 'Dont Cry' on (complete with solo), though i'm not sure it'll work.  It was badly recorded, which is why the quality sucks, and I didn't put any effects on the amp, which is why the playing sucks (honest).

Doesn't seem to be working for me though.  Did it have to be an mp3 file??

It works for me at least... I'll make it an MP3...


Okay.. Now I've fucked it up a bit.. The MP3 I mean.. I'll fix it tomorrow.. When I'm not this tired..

Nice work DTH

your pretty good!

Hey thanks dude!  It was a really, really bad recording, so I like to think i'm usually better than that.  Hmm...better ask Miz about that!

Hmm...it says that the folder is empty, when I went to look...

Did you sign in as heretodaygonetofiles?  It's empty until you sign in.

dont worry, hes that bad normally  ;D

First thanx for the great idea.

Now I am uploading my own 2 songs. Both are recorded with my ESP M2 Deluxe guitar, Ross Amp and Washburn Bass Guitar. I recorded through Mic in front of the Amp. No drums  :-\  I used N-Track program to edit files and give effects etc. Waitin' your comments.  [ok]

Crikey!  I was gonna post some of mine, but after that I don't think I have the balls! [yes]

 :o [wow] :o [wow] :o

Bahad thats awesome man, i just d/l song 1, and im doing the second one now, im digging the pinch harmonics, zakk wylde stlyeeeee. [yes]

Ill buy the album  [ok]

Thank you very much. I am happy you and danny love them .  :DI'll soon upload my gnr solos and more own stuff.

I'll post a Minions song or two when we get the recordings (which have been "almost done" for about half a year now) back.  No way it can match up to that, though! [ok]

ive uploaded 1 chinese intro... but i got cakewalk today so i will record some of my own stuff  [hihi]

Well, since I didn't know about the Binge and grab site, I uploaded my take on the star wars tabulature.. The difference with this is that it's tuned half step down... And it is my first tab ever, so be kind.

I took a small part from your take Kenji, so it's not all mine...

I've uploaded a cool freeware to tune your guitar.

1) install the program
2) plug your guitar to your sound car
3) select wich tune you want
4) use the display to tune your guitar


 [peace]

Nice CD into Aero, wanna do a quick tab of it here?

I uploaded a small piece I recorded... It's at the GN'R folder and named "Skeba - jimitocivilwar.mp3" or something.

i just added my take on the 1st half of the 3rd sweet child solo, ok now i gg learn the rest.  oh and crank up your volume cuz the output is pretty low.

Just listened to the files for the first time tonight - everyone sounds great!   [ok]

Nice one skeba  [ok], I was wondering wtf jimito meant for a while there [rofl]

Thanks.. I think the Jimi part came out a bit lazy... But now that I've got the whole version of the recording software, I think I'll redo that, or make some other - hopefully better - stuff.

ok dont laught. i've uploaded a mini song called 2kim  [peace]

Uploaded the following in the GN'R folder:

One In A Million - poor quality sample, this belongs to the "for fun" section, so don't take it too seriously...  ;)

Hope you enjoy it as much as I enjoyed your stuff! :)

I can't play it, winamp complains about missing mp3 header or something like that.

Hm...  ???

It works fine on my computer...

You could rename the file ansd try again or just open windows media player and pull the file into intio it.

It works now, just as you said I had to rename it to mpg. [ok]

OK, I added another one in the "other" folder.

It's a little guitar surprise for you fellas and it's dedicated to Buckethead.

When it comes to great film music, it doesn't have to be the "Godfather Theme" all the time, does it?  ;) Perhaps...a little bit of John Williams for ya?  ;D  Enjoy!

@ Aero

Nice job on the "Chinese Democracy" riff!  [ok]

I have uploaded a version of 14 years that I wrote about a year ago. It's not actually strictly the right version but it works quite well I think. No solo though i'm afraid. Give it a shot....

Can anyone that can play the piano really mint and upload any GNR tunes, like NR or Estranged or piano bits from civil war, don't cry etc.  That would be cool

I have uploaded Sweet Child O' Mine and Welcome To The Jungle.  They are both Midi drums and bass... and all guitars by me..  I did them both about two years ago (I know that's accurate because I was living and working somewhere else at the time).

They were both recorded before work on different mornings.  Each took about 2 hours to record and mix so I appolgise for the quality of the mixing. I did rush them but also, the solos etc are not as good as I could play them now, as it was so long ago.

Recorded in Cubase VST 5 with an Epiphone Les Paul Standard.  Amp was a Sessionette:75, with a Marshall Shredmaster pedal.  Yuk. Not exactly the nicest setup so tone isnt amazing. I will rerecord them soon with my new TSL amp and get some classic Slash sounds down!

Hope you like them.  Let me know.

PS.  Sweet Child O' Mine is played weeeeell too fast.  Thats becuase the PC I was using could only cope with a certain amount of length (considering I had quite a few tracks... the drums and bass were mixed down to audio and then EQ and reverbs etc applied)

Dave

hey darkmonth, nice work [ok], you play those two a bit differently from the way I would, its cool to hear other guys' takes on these songs. I would love to upload a few of my own but I don't have any recording software! Anyone know where I might get something off the internet or anything?

cheers

 8)

Thanks,

well I did say they were two years old... I play them different now.  More confidence and my timing is much better.  I mean, back then I was starting a new band... after gigging and playing with them for all this time,  I am now the lead guitarist in a new band and we play hard rock.  I reckon I scrub up pretty well with my playing now.

Dave

You wouldn't happen to have those bass lines and drums still somewhere + willing to share them now would you?

Who me?

Oh I am sure I would.  I have Paradise City and Knockin' On Heavens door and a few others too...

I could upload them as Midi files if people want.

Not now though, bedtime calls! Just finished watching Cold Feet on ITV1.  Last ever episode.  Quite cool.

Sleep!

Dave

yeah those midis would be great if you could upload them  [peace]

cheers [beer]

I have uploaded Welcome To The Jungle, Knockin' On Hheaven's Door, November Rain, Paradise City and Sweet Child O' Mine.  They are all drum and bass guitar tracks with the exception of November Rain which has the strings thrown in for good measure.  Get a good set of Soundfonts to make these drums etc sound good.  Then bring the midi into cubase and split the drum tracks.  Merge each one to an audio track and EQ and mix it as it needs.  Working with a single track to encompass all the drum parts is a naff way of doing it and to get pro results yu will want to mess with tracks individually.

I didn't author these.  I altered them.  They may not all be dropped half a step tuning.  I can't remember.  Transpose the instruments in your midi program if you want them in E or in Eb depending on what you want.

Cheers

Dave

Hey guys,

I'm just after recording a rendition of the godfather theme...original, eh? lol

Anyways, ita a .wav file, but the problem is that it is quite a whopping 13MB.

Does anyone have any clue as to how I might compress it a bit so it can be uploaded easier?

cheers in advance  [beer]

Hey guys no worries I just changed it down from decent sound quality to pretty crap...it's still listenable to-able though!!!

Download it, let me know what you think....there are a couple of duff notes near the start, and the timing/rythym is maybe a little bit off in places, but anyhow. I just did one lead take, one rythym take, and mixed the two together, a bit of a rush job!

Have a listen, see what u think

Cheers  [beer] [smoking]

Come on guys, I need some feedback here!!


Cheers  [peace]

I don't see it as showing up man.  It says the folder is empty...

You have to dig around a bit ....I think its in the guns n' roses folder, which is a sub folder of the main documents folder.....there is definitely a pile of stuff in there!

Cheers [ok]

@jrs2001_99:

I thought it was pretty good... Though I do think the theme itself got sorta lost there at one point (towards the end). But I've only played for a little less than a year, so I'm no one to critisize (is that even spelled that way?)...
But you wanted comments, so there you go.

Thanks man, appreciate the feedback! [ok] [smoking]

hey just added my rendition of the nighttrain outro solo...hope u like...

Okay... I'ts been a while, but I thought I'd upload something.

So: I got the line6 PODxt for a few days, and I thought I could share what it can do. These files are totally unedited: straight from the unit to the computer, and transformed into MP3's. I haven't changed the settings of the pod since it's not mine. These are just some sounds I found in it.

And since it's me playing, the playing sucks (I've only played for 13 months), so you can keep your attention on the effects themselves, although feedback on the playing itself is appreciated.

The files are named line6[something].mp3, and can be found both in the GN'R and Others sections.

I will take them down in about a week so that there will be more space for other people..

I just uploaded my version of the mrbrownstone solo, yes i am fully aware that i have a shit mic, my playing is sloppy and i need to learn how to use a wah properly but i dont care. :P

It's been a long time since I (or anyone for that matter) uploaded anything, so here goes.
As some of you know, I bought myself a christmaspresent: The Line 6 PODxt.

So here goes. This is the Don't Cry solo. It sounds a bit funny because it's me playing
but other than that it should be fine. I kinda like the sound a lot.

Comments are welcome as always.

Sounds good skeba!

Today I was trying to see how fast I could play, and this was the result.

Copy and paste into a new browser window.

I have some songs here: http://www.soundclick.com/bands/0/celacantomusic.htm (http://www.soundclick.com/bands/0/celacantomusic.htm) but I didn't put any GNR covers there yet. It's just my own songs... Please, check it out and tell me what you think.  :peace:

I really like Infla??o

Thanks Adz! I think I did a good job in the outro solo, I really like it too!  : ok:

Hey all,

i've decided to record some songs. well not really, there more like sketches of songs. :hihi: Guitar only. I've recorded them just by playing infront of my standard comp mic through "sound recorder" with a half sized Valencia classical guitar. Boy did the quality make it sound weird....anyway the idea is there. I've only been playing guitar for 6 months, so be gentle.

I put my first song up, all in 1st and only take, improvised the best possible solo i could do with the guitar (only having 12 reachable frets is a bitch, and not all frets even sound properly).

Anyway i got bored, so i think i might do a whole series of these, im really makin myself look bad with these crappy crappy recordings......but ah well i've made my excuses.

the file is rough sketch series (1) [Oddy], tell me what u think

I think it's great to listen to other people playing. It is like inspiration for me who have just started to play guitar. So come on people more recordings please!  ;D    
And it's nice to know how long you have been playing and stuff like that because than I have something to compare to.

What do you think:?

http://f1.pg.briefcase.yahoo.com/bc/karlec...nnaRose&.view=l (http://f1.pg.briefcase.yahoo.com/bc/karleckstine/lst?.dir=/IndiannaRose&.view=l)

Opinions wanted please. :yes:

Okay, I downloaded them, and listened through.
Sorry, but no.

im sorry, but are you actualy singing "while you be ringing with the bell" ????

I suppose that's bad.... ???

Wanted Dead or Alive was a bit.... :no:, I replaced it with Patience instead. Although I still think You Could Be Mine is quite good though.

what the hell did i just listen too? Sounds like axl needs to drop a duece

I downloaded the Patience also. It's a lot better than either of the others, but Axl's voice is too loud in this one, so I'm hearing him most of the time. Still don't think it's all that good. Sorry.

Sry but its not that good. Its alright i though You could be mine was ok but....sry man

did you sing/perform them?

I listened to them and here's how I view them.

You Could be Mine:

1. Why so much vibrato in your voice, It sounds like a bad combination of Iron Maiden and Axl. It doesn't suit this part at all.
2. It's totally out of pace
3. Just try to do it at normal speed. It sounds like you are despiratly trying to get out"Axl's voice". But the harder you try the more UN-natural it sounds and the worser it gets. It seems like you are trying way too much and that causes the sloppy outbring of the lyrics as well.
4. I want you to re-record this. I think you could do ALLOT better if you take some advice from the above points.

Patience:

1. The whistle is way off-key and sounds very fragile.
3. I can't hear your voice.
4. I don't know.

Overall:

- Try listen to the originals better before you try to record it or sing it. Take your time to listen to "how" axl does the whistle for instance and practise bit by bit.
- You don't have to come close to Axl's sound coz you either have that or not. Just do it in your own voice if it doesn't seem to work.
- Now when I hear your version of You Could Be Mine I hear maybe, just maybe some potentional. Re-record it and do it right. You can do it way better then what I've heard I'm sure.
- I may sound like an ass but I'm only trying to help you

Well the real reason it's out of pace is because I used Windows Sound Recorder. If you don't know what this is, it's one of those free softwares that makes you press the 'record' button every minute or it will stop recording. I don't know the lyrics to the rapping part of You Could Be Mine very well so while I was singing, I had to look at the time, while looking at the lyrics, while having my hand on the 'record' buton....at the same time. I'm gonna look for better software to record myself where I don't have to do all this. I was just basically singing to my laptop, I'll get better stuff to do it in. Thanx for the honest and long review, that's what I wanted all along. I'll come back stronger and wiser, but hey I'm only 14 ( that doesn't matter though)...

Also about the whole 'Axl voice' thing. That's just one of the ways I can sing. Actually I got this from listening to Def Leppard. From ages 11-13 all I did was listen to Def Leppard, so I sung to Joe Elliot everyday. He also has a raspy voice. So I just took Joe's voice and intertwined it into my own. Trust me I'm not 'trying' to sing like Axl, I was already singing like that before I even listened to GN'R. It's my own, I'm not trying to copy Axl's deuce. That's just the way it is...

ok, that's cool. rock on!!  : ok:

hahahha windows recorder, i do that with guitar too.

see i know a trick. record something for 60 seconds, anything it doesnt matter. no press ctrl + c, then ctrl +v and it will paste that 60 seconds again and again til you have like 6 minutes or however much you need. then just record over it

Why don't you get something like Goldwave so you really wouldn't have to worry about shit like that. It's not big and is a shareware program if I remember correctly

try using your own voice instead ;)

That is my voice, I sang like that even before I knew GN'R. That's just the way it is. (which happens to be kinda like Axl's)

This is my demo and a final version of Red House by Jimi Hendrix. You can find those on this site:

thnx Rhythem-n-Booze!! Just practise allot and you can do this too. I only play just for 4 years without any lessons really. My base is learning to cover guns n' roses tunes. I've learned allot with playing allong with those. Actually now that I think about that. Maybe I'll record some of those with backingtracks sometime soon  ;)

Thanks Wheres Izzy!!, yea your right. The final version isn't really improvising, but my first attempt was.  ;D

haven't got that dvd. But that would be a very good idea. I love blues music!? :D

btw: your site conny isn't working. Wanted to check out some of your stuff!  :)

Sounds great as usual!!  I listened to it on repeat for about 10-15 minutes at work today.  I would love to hear you do something like that live.   : ok:

Thank you for listening to it!? ;) Glad you enjoyed it. I wish I had a band to this kinda stuff live. I love this kinda music, as I love lots of kinda music. I find it very interesting to try out different things and see what works. Good to hear you had it on repeat!? :D

strange the other link didn't work. Seems to work at my place  :-\
 

Hi all, it's been a while, so I thought I'd upload something again. I took my Godfather Theme out of the briefcase, and replaced it with my guitar take on the Terminator theme.

It's a rough recording, just a rhythm track and a lead track, with slight volume swells on parts of the lead track. I think it came out OK, despite one glaringly obvious wrong note (a sloppy slip of the finger), but it's all first-take stuff so what the hell.

Anyways, have a listen and see what you think. It's in the MP3/Other folder, filename term.mp3. It's just over 2.5 Megs I think.

Cheers  :)

Come on people... this thread has been too quiet for too long!  :yes:

It's indeed a very rough recording like you said, so I will only comment on the guitarplaying. I think some parts are 'decent'. But it doesn't sound 'glued'. Sometimes I wonder why there is so much fast stuff in it. Try a bit more 'harmonic' slow stuff in it the next time and reduce the speed. Speed only impresses when it's balanced with the slow and played right. 

But since this is your first take it ain't that bad or anything. I would say take your time on it the next time to work it a little more out.  :)

Keep em coming!

Thanks for listening man, I was thinking of re-recording it properly, and playing the full theme with arpeggiated chords before drowning the whole thing out with lead work. Hopefully I'll get time to do that soon!

It has been an issue that I'm concerned about with my playing - sometimes my phrasing just sounds quite disjointed and choppy, and sometimes it's ok. I just wish I had a bit more consistency (and time to work on it!)

Thanks again man  8)

I'm the singer. is it good?

People of the board, we have an Axl on the board, avec un accent francais. :)

I'm not sure if you were trying to sound like Axl on the last part or not, but you should do another take and just belt out those lyrics with more force.


I liked it, t'was good.

1) No, I didn't try to "sound like Axl", I made my own version. I could have taken a raspy voice because I can, I can break my voice, but it would have sounded like Bruce Springsteen not like Axl Rose. So I decided not to break it, but rather to make it "clean". ;)
2) thank you :D

PS: sorry for my french accent.. "h?lleau maille naille-meuuh ize nesquick" :rofl:

not bad, not bad..

ZI've been walking ze ztreets tonight, zjust ztrying....  ;)

ok, but exept my "french cancan" accent  :hihi:, how do you find the singing? I mean, you know, my voice, the way I sing. Do you think it's good?

Your voice needs to be developed. For starts it's definetely not bad and you can hit the notes. Which is very important. Like 'The Dirt' said you must belt the lyrics out with more power. You must sing it like it comes from the bottom of your heart. Then I think you can come pretty far with it.  : ok:


 

Awsome man, too bad you cut the guitar solo out!

DTM, you crack me up man  :rofl:

hu cares about the french accent. the point was just belth out those last lyrics and there, u hit the nail on the head.

Hey dude you can still pull it off. Maybe get some vocal lessons. Also just scream some times, it works. I have had experience singing some gnr. I did some sweet child. I fucking blew it but i can do it now that I have had lessons and just screamed.

Good luck man

ok anyone else?

hello

   man, ur voice is wwwwwwwwikud. but u can do alot betta than that. re-record it and listen carefully 2 tempo and notes that axl does. than sing it. its a mistake that can very easily be corrected.

ok I sent my demo to a professional singer, She is an opera singer, a lyrical professor, and she has just replied me, it's in french:

Bonjour,

J'ai pu ?couter votre morceaux. Il est s?r que pour ?tre d?butant vous avez d?j? un niveau assez avanc?, la voix s'est bien d?velopp?e.

Les + :
La justesse est au rendez vous, donc l'oreille aussi. La moiti? du travail est donc faite. Le timbre naturel de la voix est assez particulier, ce qui est important quand on veut composer, ne ressembler ? aucun autre.

Les - :
Une exploration de l'aigu qui reste limit?e, avec une utilisation sur les 3 quarts de la chanson de la m?me zone de voix (pas assez de variation de hauteur en grave comme en aigu ? mon go?t, vous vous confinez un peu trop dans votre m?dium)
Des attaques de voyelles un peu s?ches, ce qui est classique quand on n'a jamais appris ? chanter.
Une voix qui manque de projection, qui reste trop dans votre corps et qui ne va pas assez ? l'ext?rieur.
Des escaliers, ce qui est difficile ? expliquer par ?crit. Si vous voulez, c'est une note que vous vous empressez de redescendre. Ce n'est pas esth?tique et ca fatigue la voix.
Le plus gros d?faut et le plus emb?tant est que votre voix reste nasillarde. Vous placez les voyelles dans le nez plut?t que dans la cavit? buccale d'o? le probl?me de projection dont je vous ai parl? plus haut.

A ?viter : 'engorger' la voix sur la derni?re note, pour des raisons notamment esth?tiques.

Tous ceci sont des d?fauts purement techniques, des mauvaises habitudes prises, inconsciemment. Ce ne sont aussi que des d?fauts qui ressortent ? l'oreille. Cel? signifie qu'il y a peut ?tre d'autres d?fauts (respiration et posture par exemple) desquels on ne peut se rendre compte que par la vision.

J'esp?re avoir ?t? claire et pr?cise, comme vous me l'aviez demand?.

Je n'organise pas de stages de chant, mais que des cours particuliers.
Si vous voulez des informations ? ce sujet vous pouvez vous rendre sur mon site internet, pour conna?tre le contenu des cours les m?thodes utilis?es, les tarifs, l'organisation, ma formation, etc. ...
Je suis complet pour le mois de janvier. Si vous souhaitez fixer un rendez vous, vous pouvez me rappeler ? la fin du mois.

Meilleurs voeux pour 2005.

Musicalement,

Sabine C
Professeur de chant

To sum-up: She says I've a good level for a starter, she says my singing is ok and that 50% of the work is already done, but? I need to work my technic now (I suppose it's the 50% other).? :P I hope my singing will be ok "soon" to be in a Rock band. I have to work again, but I'm in the good way? :peace:

Here's a new one. Had a go with a backingtrack, tell me what you think about it.

Here's my version of Voodoo Chile




enjoy!

First of all, I know alot of people here don't like Nirvana.. But here it is anyway let me know what you think... I realize that the vocals are pretty bad, I AM NOT a singer at all, but I couldn't get anyone else to do them....The other shit on the page is mostly just funny shit me and my Uncle recorded drunk making it up as we went along...

http://www.tom-ass.com/assjam.htm

Guitar: Epiphone Les Paul with Alnico's I believe
Amps: Marshall G80R CD & a Marshall 1922 underneath it
+ A Dunlop wah pedal.

The recording I did is just with a simple pc mic so much of the quality of the sound gets lost while recording it. But it's good enough for me.

(http://hpbimg.brendmusic.com/gear.jpg)

On this pic the two amps on the right on top of eachother and the epiphone on the right.

Thanks for listening dude!

Where did you get the snakepit guitar? It looks seriously cool

@unsurper: thanks, I've bought it in a small guitarshop in the Netherlands but the shop doesn't excist anymore. I was really lucky getting that Epiphone slash signature one. They are pretty rare. That guitar does have some little flaws but that's due to me playing on it so much. The frets are a bit worn out and stuff. The duncun pickups work like a motherfucker still tho.  ;)


@Conny: thnx mate! The guitar on the right is actually my brothers. I borrowed it a little bit.  ;D
For the sound.... to me it doesn't really come close to the sound of Hendrix. But I don't listen all that much to Hendrix so I don't know for sure. The alnico's and the wah work great together so perhaps that's what made this sound pretty nice... Thanks for your comments!  : ok:

hey not to damn bad, infact it was a brillaint cover for some people that named their band ass-jam :beer:

im really feeling that guitar you got going there. if its you how long have you been playing for?

Yes, that's me on the guitar, the first parts are done with a volume pedal for the effects. I've been playing for probably four years now.  :)

Thanks, I really appreciate that!!
 
As for ASS-JAM there is actually a method behind that madness. It is just me and my buddy (usually trashed). People have been calling me TomASS forever, that's where the ass comes from. His initials are J.A.M.  Since all we do is funny shit for the most part, we thought the name fit   ;D .

The Polly cover is actually me and someone else and we hope to have some good stuff coming. We are working on an original now...

I would fucking love to have a snakepit guitar like that.

Wow that's amazing sound and out of an Epi as well.  I'm very, very impressed.  You're guitar playing is top notch as well!!  I've played acoustic for a number of years now and I'm trying to get into the electric game (it's the solos that have made me sell out, you see) and I just ordered an Epi LP Black Beauty but now I have to think of what amp to get.  I'm thinking a Marshall might be in order.

thnx for listening, and for your nice comments, glad you liked it.

Cool you ordered such a cool guitar! Marshalls are definetely good amps. Vox is also a good brand. Just go test various amps out and pick the one with suits your style best.  : ok:

 

Here's my jam on Led Zep's - I Can't Quit You Baby

www.brendmusic.com/cant_quit_you_baby.mp3 (http://www.brendmusic.com/cant_quit_you_baby.mp3)

enjoy!

plese do :since ive been loving you:!!!!

maybe someday.  :)

I have to ask... how many hours a day to be able to play like that?

hey do you have high action or low action on your guitar....
im trying to set my guitar right> if its(strings) too low i cant bend and if its too high i cant sweep pick!   any measurements??(i have a les paul)

@Zoso: I've been playing just for 4 years now. Sometimes I practise 3 hours a day and sometimes I do nothing. But in the beginning I practised really really allot everyday. I'm kinda sloppy.
@Sl@sh: I have the action as low as possible. But that's personal taste. The playing goes easyer low. But don't set them too low coz that would cause fret buzz. Just try out different settings. Mine is 2 mm at 12th fret or something round that.

yes, I dig it, the solo thingy on the end sounds good. Has a good vibe. Nice drumloop as well. My only thing is with the vocals. I can't make-out if it's just humming or that those are lyrics? I would suggest making them allot more clearer and more to the surface. Other then that good stuff!  :)

- ok I created it within 2 minutes just with my ears.
- I don't play guitar, I'm not a guitarist, I just made the riff on one chord on a friend's accoustic guitar. I've been playing guitar for about 20 minutes. I think I touched a guitar twice before in my life. that riff is just a joke! :)
- the sound quality isn't great,
- do you think it could be a good riff or intro to a song? imagine tht riff played with a Gibson with? a killer sound ala "whole lotta love", is it good?
- if you think it sounds good, tell me. if you think it sucks tell me! don't be afraid I'm not a guitarist. That's just a joke guitar riff.

I don't think it's all that good...

I don't play guitar. I'm not a guitarist. I'm a singer. that was just "like that".? I wasn't serious when I recorded it? 8)

Made a new little demo called "Backstabber"

Tell me your opinions on it :)

http://www.brendmusic.com/backstabber.mp3

I know.. But you asked me to give an opinion and that's what I did.. I knew what you just said in your post from your original post. It wouldn't be fair from me to say that it rocked if I didn't think so my self. It does sound that you created it in 2 minutes with just your ears (next time try to utilize your hands too.. :) ) and that you're not a guitar player... No need to feel bad about it... Just my opinion.. Not really worth shit.

Hey Don't Try My that Backstabber thing is pretty good n' VERY catchy. : ok:
Can't get it out of my head now, that intoxicating drum beat is cool? ;)

 :smoking: Izzy? :smoking: The Newbie

thank you mate, much appreciated, glad you liked it. I've got more stuff on www.brendmusic.com if you want you can check it out.  :)

Only Backstabbers working the others won't load. Anyway what Instrument do you play you should really put lyrics to it it gets catchier every time I listen to it : ok:? You did write it didn't you...theres an Eminem song called Backstabber never heard it though

 :smoking: Izzy? :smoking:

Strange the others don't work coz they do work at my place. Try right click saving as.

or try these:

http://www.brendmusic.com/riviera_paradise.mp3
http://www.brendmusic.com/voodoo_chile.mp3
http://www.brendmusic.com/cant_quit_you_baby.mp3

Yeah backstabbers I wrote. It's just a little idea for now. The other songs with exception of 7even are covers. I play the lead guitar.

Yeah their workin now thanks : ok:

I like? 7even, not as much as Backstabber but its still great, it starts out kinda like Estranged or the end of Locomotive but then the guitar starts getting faster, the faster the better ;).
Im sorry but I didn't like riviera paradise at all, not because of the song but more because or the genre, I don't like Jazz it's too slow for me.
Voodoo Chile is good aswell,the guitarwork is great, the bassline reminds me of Red Hot Chili Peppers.
 Cant quit you is good but the bassline is to slow for my liking
But the important thing is that Backstabber and 7even are great : ok:

 :smoking: Izzy? ?:smoking:

My version of "big me" (foo fighters), with a friend (him guitar, me singing). We didn't make it in the studio so this is not a professional sound (no mixing no mastering etc...), we made it the most simply possible, in an appartement between friends,? it's a live version.

Sorry but it's not working, "file transfer unavailable"? :no:

 :smoking: Izzy? :smoking:

try here, I re-uploaded it: http://s28.yousendit.com/d.aspx?id=2SLA0TCOTQTQT2O2V634C04O86

Oh yeah I remember this song now :)...... do you remember the video, it's hilarious? :rofl:
Anyway the singing was good, you sounded alot like Dave Grohl? ;D Good job? : ok:

 :smoking: Izzy? :smoking:

yeah the video is really funny :hihi: It's a cool song :peace:

Hey all, I recorded some new stuff over the weekend.  8 songs all in a zip

http://www.angelfire.com/indie/powerfist/Power_Fist.zip

It ain't no Chinese Democracy, but I think it's good.

I'm sorry but I didn't like it at all.

The songs really had nothing in them.. Don't know if it would've made any difference if one was able to hear what was being played or said..

I think it's an aquied taste...very original...CAN YOU SURVIVE THE INNER FORTRESS???????

Edit: I've a little problem of sound quality.

Heres some random files I've recorded ... I'd love to hear what people think.  :peace:

I call this one passing thunderstorm .. it's a loose interpretation of giant robot

Some AC/DC riffs ...

http://www.buckethead.tk/audio/saul/saul_acdc_jam.mp3

This was my 1st attempt at EVH's eruption , I recorded this because someone was saying how hard eruption was to learn on another message board. There was a big fight back and forth between people who said they could play it but wouldnt post it. So I learned as much as I could in about 60 minutes and posted it. It's ok.

http://www.buckethead.tk/audio/saul/saul_eruption.mp3

This is kinda spacey ....

Random solo ...

any feedback? anyone?  ???  :crying:

Good stuff, man!  It sounds like you're heavily buckethead-influenced.  The USA anthem is awesome, but I especially like your solo at the bottom.

New song: http://sandbox.iexposure.com/~joe/alone.mp3

The awesome guitar playing is courtesy of Don't Try Me (http://www.brendmusic.com).

My album, though delayed, should be out relatively soon.? It's been expanded from an SP to an EP, and now it's a full length LP.

WOW i fuckin love it

how are u doin the different effects on your vocals etc?

my fav one so far and considering how much i love "shadows in the night" that means alot

great job

and finish that damn cd and let me know how to get a copy

Thanks, man!!  ;D  That means a lot to me that you like it so much.

For the chorus, I've got several voice tracks going, with different eq settings.  The distorted stuff is using Ampltitude (comes with an M-Box), and the preaching stuff is just something I recorded off tv one sunday morning when I was hungover.   : ok:

I'm gonna have a new version of Shadows in the Night (renamed to Shadows) ready soon, I'll send you that in a PM.

kool man. if I was working with ya...  I'd have a great time on the leads

i'm quite surprised on the concept as it is out there (a good thing) & the voice sounds really good with mood

-BP

Thanks, dude!   :) I am quite happy with the leads, but I appreciate that.

I definitely try to be "out there" a bit with some of my songs, so I'm glad it all works anyway!

Thank you very very much.  :o  :beer:

That's pretty cool, Loretian.

The lyrics are nice and the music blends well with your vocals.

Thanks, journey!  :)

Hope you guys are having a great time!

Cool guitar! Nice job.  :yes: : ok:

Thanks, man!  : ok:

Cool, who wrote that solo you or Don't Try Me
The vocals and song in general was great too? : ok:

 :smoking: Izzy? :smoking:

Thanks, dude.  Don't Try Me wrote the solo, all the good guitar parts are him!  ;)

Very cool what you did with the song loretian!? : ok: Love the preeching parts, makes me think of the exorcist intro.  :D

Glad that I could to be part of it? :)

Thanks, Brend!!  : ok:

A lot of my new songs are finally coming together, so I'll send you a link to a bunch of them soon, once I get them all posted.

here is again my version of "patience" done in the studio last year. I'm the singer. http://s34.yousendit.com/d.aspx?id=0CZ9NGV6HNMW1LE28UBC9J4N3
sorry for my little french accent :)

I like it? : ok:? but you shouldn't have taken out the guitar solo? :(
My favourite part is the bit at the end after the guitar solo? : ok:
Good job? :)

 :smoking: Izzy? :smoking:

ok thanks  8)

Hey i just uploaded a fast lick! in the Yahoo briefcase.

click on mp3, and its in the "Others" folder!

its called? ? ?"fast lick!sl@sh "


plese tell me what you think of it! my first guitar work online(ever)


hey why is the yahoo briefcases not working???

Yes it is...

And on the clip...

I don't know how long you've been playing.. so..

But sure it was fast.. Fast, and it had no soul in it what so ever.

But this is just my opinion. I couldn't play that fast.

thanks for the input :beer:
ive been playing for about 4 years!
it was just a fast run down.

every on check my cover of "still of the night" (white snake)

i did the vocals and guitar(the guitar sucks because i dont know the tabs)
let me know what you think because im thinking of putting this on my space!

its in the folder mp3/ then click others.

whitesnake sl@sh!

come on people??


:beer:

I added a tab of The Godfather Theme, it didn't really come out properly

 :smoking: Izzy? :smoking:

Got a new instrumental song ready. I first named it 'Not Present', but named it 'Flanger' instead cause of the effects added on the rhythm parts.

http://www.brendmusic.com/Flanger.mp3

Hope you'll enjoy!

It sounds great!  The flanger effect adds to the mix in a good way, without overpowering it (as often times flanger can do)

Okay, you can take a listen to my interpretation of GNR's 'Don't Cry' in th eGNR section of the yahoo briefcase thing. Be warned though, it's not much like the GNR version.






Also; Props to Saul and Brend, you guys are pretty damned good.

thanks :)

I've listened to your Don't Cry version btw HK-47. I think it's pretty cool. I like it cause you made the song your own. The delay effects are nice sounding and goes well with the whole thing. The vocals are pretty good as well, much different but I like it. Kinda reminds me of Nick Cave. From what I can hear on the guitar solo is that sometimes the bending doesn't sound 100% right. But that's not a big thing on this one. This is one of the most interesting covers I've heard on this board.

Did you do all the instruments yourself?

Nope, the drum track is electronic but the bass/guitars/etc are me.
And yep, some of the bends are a-ways off,  I'm pretty lazy about tuning generally.
I'm glad you liked it though, and thanks for the feedback.  ;D

i added my song in the other section. its called psycho. i wrote the lyrics and music myself. i dont know what genre it is. it starts off like a punk song and then it has a series of lame guitar solos and it ends with some bizarre vocals. can someone tell me what they think of it. it isnt recorded very well, the guitar sucks and i added an echo because i thought my voice sounds better with the echo. i dont care if u dont like it
http://f1.pg.briefcase.yahoo.com/bc/heretodaygonetofiles/lst?.dir=/MP3%27s/Others&.order=&.view=l&.src=bc&.done=http%3a//f1.pg.briefcase.yahoo.com/

vocals - psycotron
lead, rythym and acqoustic guitars - psycotron
bass - psycotron
drums - a drum beat from a keyboard

one thing dude u have to drop the defeatist attitude
dont make us think it sucks before we ever listen.

be proud of your shit man.

Hey all,

I've posted "Sweet Child (In Extremis)" in the Guns N Roses folder. Check it out, its was recorded live by my band.

I'll upload our version of brownstone too if ppl want??

Let me know if u listen to it and what u think, and check out our band's website www.inextremis.co.uk :-)

Bob

so did u like it?

psychotron is probably the lamest song i've ever heard in my life
that song almost ruins countdown to extinction

its not my favourite mdeth song either. i like it though and i just think the name psychotron sounds cool. calling myself tornado of souls isnt as cool

   http://rapidshare.de/files/4832369/mr_crowley_demo.mp3.html

it's mr crowleyyyy. hey first take and got the solo by ear so don't shoot me if it doesn't sound exactly like the original!
peace : ok:

hey Meanbone that was awesome. damn i love hearing that solo.

you got pretty close to it and just by ear too man good job!

thanks oddy! it sounded a lot better to me when i first played it. then i saw the tab and i was way off on some stuff.
it doesn't sound bad still, but it's not that close to the original.
lol, i'll try a lil harder next time  : ok:

I just uploaded my band doing a GNR cover.  Please tell me what you guys think.

Thanks,

Scott

where is it? what is teh anme of the file, cause i couldnt find it.

What ever happened to this thread??

hey guys

another song for you - my band's cover of Mr Brownstone

Please let me know your thoughts, good or bad! But be constructive!

Thanks, Bob

http://www.bobobrien.co.uk/mp3s/brownstone.m4a

(It's an m4a itunes file)

that username and password doesnt work  :-\

can u help me out?

i really want to hear some covers of gnr songs?

does this call for a new thread?

The reason it doesn't work could be that someone has logged in, and changed the password...

It didn't recognize the old password, or allow me to retrieve the password for the account.

If it doesn't work we can always make a new account, or just use one of the filesharing services available.. Yousendit.com and such.

I've been pretty busy, so I haven't been checking up on this thread for quite some time now.

oh ok.. cool

just let me know when you figure something out ::)

The HERETODAYGONETOFILES thread will now be locked since somebody (prolly no one from this board) has changed the password and the details so that it's no longer accessible.

From now on, there will not be a common room to put your recordings to, but everyone will figure out a way to post their songs in some other way (through yousendit or something).

A wish of how to post these songs has been stickied to the top of the section.
