RE: ORIGINAL SONG- (We Never Change) Playing in the Art Studio/Recording Studio/ Bedroom

in #music7 years ago

My electric is an Ibanez. I don't know if I will be posting any shredding, at least for some time. I was actually debating selling my electric the other day for some extra investment money. It is just too addictive. I really mean it man. When I pick that thing up the whole world falls away. I have been really trying to focus on my art for the past year so I am avoiding the electric.

I'm kinda all over the place with musical taste. What really got me interested in lead guitar was DIO when Vivian Campbell was his guitarist. Listening to the lead he did on Last in Line, Straight Through The Heart, Rainbow in the Dark and some others is what took me from playing power chords to learning how to write a guitar solo.

I'm a big fan of Joe Stump, Rusty Cooley, Paul Gilbert, Doug Doppler. The song Starcrossed Lovers by Doppler Inc. was a big push for me early on. Now as far as guitar goes I'm pretty much a fan of any powerful NeoClassical shred. Here lately when I am painting I have listened to more violin and cello than guitar.

I looked at the covers you put up. Really great job. When most people tell me they play this type of music I just roll my eyes, because when I actually hear them play they just crank up the effects and play sloppy as hell. You on the other hand have a really relaxed clean precise technique. Much respect.

I used to play Canon too, but it was much different than the way I hear others play it. I preferred my version, but unfortunately never tabbed it out so I have forgotten it through years of not playing. I will have to rework it once I get back to playing my electric it's floating around up there somewhere. All I can remember off the top of my head is the String skipping arpeggios which was not really my favorite part. I used to play that as my warmup along with toccata.

It looks like you are a fan of a major sound. I usually leaned more toward minor and harmonic minor vibe. Your sailor moon cover reminded me of a song I used to play which was "Spark Mandrill" from the MegaMan series. Would love to hear you go at that one if you felt motivated to do so.

Keep up the great work, and I know you will do well here on steemit.

Thanks man, I appreciate the detailed response and the kind words. I'm a huge fan of the megaman series, as I'm a game nerd in general, so i'll definitely check it out. Been planning to experiment with video game music. I think it'd be fun since I've never really done it before.
