Hey Kid,

You're sounding good, as usual. I enjoy listening to your music.

Now... a request...

Get out your copperburst Tele and show me some Luther Perkins/Johnny Cash.

You should be able to pick up on "Folsom Prison Blues"
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lWsuVuw5 ... re=related

or

"I Walk the Line"
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KHF9itPL ... re=related
pretty quick.

Set yourself up to play fairly clean, and if you pick right on top of the bridge pickup, you'll pretty well be able to nail the sound.

Show me what you can do!

RickyD

Go listen to a bunch of chillwave.

I love this stuff. Though, that was more clubby stuff you'd listen to with some E in your system.

As always, your recording intrigues me...Interesting...different from your normal style (it's almost always good to expand)...I dig it.

I intensely dislike electronica/electronic music (only sounds good when you're on drugs and I have never taken drugs, therefore, electronica doesn't sound good to me), but the electronic aspects of the song didn't overpower your guitar playing, so I could listen what you were doing.

I dig several songs with manufactured beats in the background--the original "I Wanna Be" by Doyle Bramhall II, some lo-fi funk stuff--but I generally detest drum machines and drum loops. A live drummer is almost always better.

...however, while you're learning to record and trying to improve your timing, a drum machine/loop can be a useful tool.

I liked it!

It sounds like a tune from an 80's Molly Ringwald flick or something from Fast Times at Ridgemont High . . . . And at the same time I hear a DEVO influence.

Keep it up!

You think so? Washed Out is generally considered one of the less dancy-y big names in chillwave. *shrug*

If you like that though, def check out Neon Indian and Toro Y Moi, both great artists.
