And away we go...

This has been posted but this is the first track we did in 2005.

Take A Chance on Madness

I had also posted this on the original master music thread a couple of days ago, but since it's my first one in 2005, it should probably go here.
Here\'s That Rainy Day

Paul

Paul, really loved the tune, and put it with the other songs of yours i've downloaded. What's your setup on this one? Sweet tone man!

Thanks for listening, DIAMOND DUST ! Glad you liked it. It was done with my GB10 through a POD 2.0.

Paul

Great track Paul. A very warm an intimate tone too, the Pod takes nothing from your fantastic playing.

I think I'm familiar enough with your playing now to say that I probably would have known that it was you, without having been told!

It has all your usual hallmarks, smooth, laid back and almost effortlessly melodic. An absolute treat and pleasure to listen to, as always!

Thanks...

I'd like to dedicate Oldwood to Tea's avatar.

Hey Darklava!

Oldwood is awesome!

I love what you did with the song and there's some great playing in there too!

I'm working my way through the rest of your stuff. Thanks for sharing...

Tea.

Edit...I can't get any of the others to play. Is there a limit on streaming or should I check back later?

Cool!
Dazed: I said this before I think this is probably the best I've listened from you but you seem to be improving your songs with every post so I'm likely to be saying this again. Great!

Paul: Another awesome one. I do seem to hear variations with respect to some other of your tunes. Always unexpected yet as Tea said you're very recognizable. Marvelous! Really enjoyed it!!

Steve Le Blanc: Very cool stuff there. How do you go about jamming like that? I mean do you previously agree on a scheme or something? It sometimes got on a "Dirty Harry" soundtrack mood that was great! Thanks for posting! Keep them coming!

Teahead I also enjoyed your post in the other thread. Very good song!

Darklava enjoyed those too. Especially liked Empty Room and Oldwood!

Thanks all for sharing!

Tea and hariseldon,coming from two gunslingers
like you guys it makes me feel great Thank you.

Darklava, I really liked "Oldwood". Very cool cover and a great guitar part!! I thought the band could come out front just a little more in relation to the vocals, but that may have been due to the cheap speakers I heard it on. Still, very enjoyable ! I'll check out your other tunes later today.

Paul

Teahead & Hariseldon, thanks so much! Really, that's a great compliment and is greatly appreciated!

Teahead, in case you didn't see my comments on the old Master Music thread, I really liked "Noo Toon" !

Thanks again,

Paul

always fun listening to you play Paul. hey, if the option is there, you should try to put that ride cymal a little more to the center

Steve, I always enjoy your jams. There are a lot of really outstanding moments in them and this one is no exception! I wish I could sit in sometime. It would really do me good!

Paul

hariseldon - I appreciate your kind words This and Darkness are probably my two favorite tracks we have done so far.

Steve LeBlanc - Thanks for listening and providing some feedback. I have noticed that this mix has sounded different on the systems I have tried it on. I have heard the lack of bass on one system while on another it jumps in nice on the chorus. There is some distortion on one of the guitars that can be heard on the right channel. I want to experiment with bringing that up a bit on the chorus also to give it a drive.

I have not seen the master yet. I just need to download it from my FTP Server. My partner owned a recording studio so he does all the mixes. He is remarkable to me but as he said, each mix will sound different to everyone.

I appreciate your comments and I will play with the mix when I download it Again, thank you for listening and taking the time to provide some feedback! I learn a lot from all of you so keep them coming.

James i like the cover as well. nice syrupy tone. i think i have a toothache.

For anyone into, or thinking of getting into fingerstyle solo guitar I would like to extend the sharing to include two scores in notation and tab. These are available at my homepage: http://www.jimgraham.ca on the "CD's, Links" page. One is a relatively easy(OK maybe intermediate) Celtic style tune called "Deep Cove Hop", the other is a more demanding Flamenco influenced piece, "Train of Thought". My homepage has mp3's of the first minute of each but you can hear them in thier entirety at: http://www.soundclick.com/bands/6/jimgrahammusic.htm . The "Deep Cove Hop" at Soundclick was recorded live earlier this year,

Regards, Jim

There's a great variety of styles here. It's wonderful that this forum appeals to a wide audience!

Here's my contribution:
http://www.soundclick.com/dcrossmusic.htm

Some things to note: - These are instrumental & are trying to evoke emotions rather than be hummable or have a catchy hook; I don't really play or write pop tunes; Most of these were recorded & mixed on a Fostex 4 track a decade or so ago, so pay no mind to the production (I'm very surprised at how many musicians will pay more attention to the production rather than the music itself - kind of a pet peeve of mine, sorry).

At any rate, I hope you enjoy these as much as I have enjoyed listening to yours!

-DC Ross

Some cool stuff,I was diggin on Nekyia

Jim,great playing.

Here's a tune that I was messing with last night. I'm trying to get some finger picking songs together. Converting it to Mp3 really sucks the life out of the tone. The original Wav file sounded much wider and more defined. Hope someone will enjoy it.

Your reflection

Man that was nice,great song you always have
great tone.What guitar-amp did you use?
I'll stick that in my files if you don't care.

DIAMOND DUST, "Your Reflection" was really beautiful. It was exactly what I needed to listen to after a hard day! I love the shimmery tone on those chords. They ring so nice! Great job!

Paul

Enjoyed this a lot. Great track DD!

[/qb][/QUOTE]Jim,great playing. [/QB][/QUOTE]

Thanks, I'm enjoying checking out everybodys music,

Jim

Thanks so much for listening DL. I used my Univalve with El34/12ax7/7025. I ran that thru my GNX 3, with the Amp mod tuned off, as a speaker sim. I used the 'brit 2-12'cab. The 24 bit converters record really well going right into my sound card. It's a strange way to record, but it seems to work.

Right on Paul. The tunes you've posted have hit me that way many times. Thanks for taking the time to listen.

Thanks man. I dig your tunes as well.

I finally uploaded a tune to my web site. It is still a work in progress and I plan to re-record it some day (I've lost the original files and only have this mix to play with). First off, there is no guitar solo on it as yet, that will change as soon as I get my home studio set up again.

Gear used:
Levinson Blade
Fender (Jap) Strat (tuned to open G)
Kurzweil K2000
Boss ME8
Recorded onto my pc (can't remember the program I used, it was about 5 years ago)
I think I also futzed with the bass a bit in Acid, the drums are from Acid loops (I am not a drummer!!!).

It is more "song" oriented and unfinished, but stillworth sharing. I recently found it on a cd I had burned and have been listening to it for a while in the car.
