Hey guys, I'm pretty new here. Just wanted to get my submission in and see what you think. The first song is called "Travel" and you can right click and download it. I can't direct link it because of the HTML limitations

I used a Hamer w/JB's in the bridge and a Zakk Camo Les Paul into Bogner Überschall >> Bogner 4x12, recorded with Sonar and mastered with Soundforge

enjoy,
Pat

Welcome to the forum!Great song love the way you broke it down.It's not what I expected,good work.

I love the way you play Chris,can't wait to hear
you do one of your originals.

wow thanks.

and hey, neither can i!

i'm gonna try work on something. rubbish songwriter me :p .. only a few bandy things .. i don't think i'd know where to start myself.

thanks man! I'm gonna give a listen thru here and check out the other entries

Patrick, I enjoyed all 4 songs on the top half of your page. I will check back later on the bottom half.

Stick around and talk shop

ok..

patrick you recorded that on your home set up?
shit, maybe you can come over to mine and tell me where i'm going wrong. excellently produced on travel there! nice guitar on the latter half too!

pauldil your playing always stuns me.. nice grntle playin, then there'll be the odd half a bar of some mad accurate lick, and i think.. o right, so you're good then!

spiral light cool tone man.. love all the phasey stuff going on

page Generally, a THOUSAND thnkyous for your music. i wake up most mornings with you're 'all of me' in my head.. and to take a break from whilstling that one thorugh the day, i'll switch to your "ten years gone".. which by the way i have perfect pitch for now.. i can always start it in the right key without hearing it. strange... anyway.. keep em coming.. your irish tune is sweetly played!

lava i had a scout around your site.. even although its not my usual tastes i enjoyed listening! is that you singing?.. and how did you get away with having OLDWOOD on soundclick? they won't host any of my songs.. well.. because they're not mine! unless you wrote that!

dazed is that your latest with floridamusic? which parts dd you both do? cos he's a pretty great guitarist too innee. i didn't think the synth was too loud tho. [was it inspired by the guitaristworks madness?]

DiDust cool. hows it recorded, cos theres a hella load of noise on the track! i have real bad noise issues and am interested. i'm seeing a counciller about it though.

What?
No that's not me singing,if it was up to me there
would be no singing that's valuable solo time.
Thanks Chris!

Im not sure what is what, but I heard a new FunkJazz fingerstyle piece. Nice work Page. I love the tone you got. What guitar is that?

Page can I call you Page?Well anyway I finally
was able to check out you music with out getting
booted off the Internet,I used the bosses computer
with great speakers.Love that style of playing,
your one of the greats on this forum.

Hat's off to you Mr A-string for setting up
the 05 thread Your playing reminds me
of Gilmour very tasteful chops.

wow man!!! that's way cool. i'm totally humbled by that. wow. thanks. it's amazing to me that your across the pond but we can connect like your next door. too cool. cheers!

thanks FSM, it's my Blueridge Dreadnaught. not bad for a cheap axe.

dude, you can call me whatever thanks, i'm really stoked you enjoyed it. i haven't been able to check out yer stuff because my work has soundclick blocked and i almost never surf the web at home... i'll try to get to it this week though...

Hey Chris thanks for listening!

Yeah that is the latest one. Florida did the long solo, keys and drums. I did the intro solo, mainly because I got lucky and thought it sounded ok lol, and the rhythm and vocals.

Nah the madness comes from work not the site

I've been wanting a semi-hollow, so I bought FunkJazz' Hamer Echotone (which went for sale after he got his Carvin Holdsworth Fatboy)



Duncan Jazz at the neck, Duncan JB at the bridge. D'Addario Chrome 11's on there now.

Took delivery yesterday, and got to record some noodling last night. Click the pic for sounds.

The rhythm part is neck & bridge pickups together. The lead is bridge pickup first, and then you might hear me switching around a bit.

I'm really happy with the articulation of the pickups, the notes just jump right out (especially listenin in headphones). Before I recorded, I was dialing through some of my usual amp settings, and I can tell this is a keeper. Next opportunity, I have to plug it through my Fender Vibro-Champ/Tube Screamer setup (Not really appropriate when recording at 10:00 at night )

FJ you have mail.

Wow!B-U-T-full

Thanks everyone!!

I checked out Dazed and Paul's tracks..
Dazed I loved that tune.. great stuff and cool structure.. I enjoyed it
paul- that's a great tone you got there, I liked it alot!!

Hey Chris- thanks man! I recorded the guitars with 2 mics, an SM57 and a Seinhauser MD421 into a eurorack mixer into a Delta 66 card. Then tracked into Sonar 2.x and mastered with soundforge. I use Wavelab now to master, I like it better and it sounds fuller, more professional..

I'm gonna go through now and see who I missed

good explaination patrick, thanks.. i'm gonna have to sort my setup out. I have everything i need, but the damn soundblaster platinum card is wack.. hisses, pops, clicks, and muffled shite. i'm up to speed on all the software etc, but the soundcard is my weak link!

Hey A String!

I really like your Knights tune! It has a cool, Floyd-like vibe. Great tone!!!

I'm new here... and a classical guitarist... why is everyone giving me this weird look?! Anyhow, if anyone is interested in hearing some not-so-well-recorded, AND short classical guitar clips, fell free to go to my cheapo imitation of a website:

http://www.geocities.com/ceuv/soundsamples.html

thanks, and get ready for me to bomb this forum w/ stupid questions about electric guitar gear...

Billster, that's a beauty! Looks & sounds fantastic. I'm looking forward to hearing more.

Patrickjp, thanks for listening. I just checked out "Travel" and it sounded great. What did you use to program the drum track? I liked the guitar tone a lot. I also liked how the song changes feel after the first half. Great job.

Chris, I just now read you comments Thanks!

Paul

Carlos (i'm assuming you are carlos) great music, you've got some amazing classical techniques. i love classical, me. i try to dabble, the few songs i do know i'm quite sure i've got no idea how the theory works, but they sound good to me.. but you sound like you have a firm grasp of what 'going on' in the style!
great job!

MILLO, that was excellent!! I loved Fuoco - the dissonance and the fire of it. Sevilla is one of my favorites and you play it beautifully! The link to Toccata de Pasquini wasn't working. Your playing is flawless and beautiful! Welcome and thanks for sharing your music.

Paul

pauldil and chris, thanks a lot for the comments!!! I REALLY appreciate it, honestly! I actually haven't heard any of the links here (dial-up), but I will in the weekend. Yeah I have to plan out these things b/c of how long it takes! I know, it's ridiculous, but so is the life of the poor, hahahaha....

pauldil, it seems like you'd be a good guy to annoy with questions about "jazz boxes" and semi-hollows! Later on I'll post them in a new thread, I hope you and the the jazz/blues cats around here don't mind answering.... also thanks for letting me know about the 'pasquini' link, I'll check it out... later, hahaha...

Wow, the talent in this place never ceases to amaze me...!

Since the old thread went bye bye....here's a re-post of my clips, and musical bio to keep them in the loop.

Hey there!

I'm really fortunate...music (playing, writing, recording, arranging) is all I do for a living...

My instrument is guitar, but I compose at the keyboard, play drums and bass (started as a drummer)......and arrange professionally for just about every instrument......

My main musical styles are fusion, jazz, prog, blues...but I play just about everything, not to limit myself...

My influences are very diverse, but fusion being the main thing:
Scott Henderson, Mike Landau, Pat Metheny being the main ones...

I taught guitar and theory privately for 4 years from 1992-1996, going to students homes...

In 2002, I was very fortunate to have my CD “released” on Allan Holdsworth's label, Gnarly Geezer Records...

From that release, I received some great feedback from Steve Vai, Brett Garsed, Derryl Gabel, Shane Theriot, Greg Koch, Rusty Cooley...

In 2003, I switched labels and was officially signed to Progressive Arts Music, and re-released the C.D. in October 2003.

For this re-release, I went back into the studio and wrote 3 bonus tracks, and beefed up the guitar parts and the overall mix, making it a much better disc...(I also enhanced the C.D. with about 80 minutes of bonus mp3s in CD-ROM format, and 3 live video clips)

My C.D. "Freedom", was on the official finalist's list of potential nominees for a Grammy this year for Best Contemporary Jazz Album: LIST HERE (I'm #29)

Didn't make the final, but hey there's always next year!

There are some clips below, but here are some from my current C.D. :

ORIGINAL FUSION (from my C.D. “Freedom”)
Give It Time Scott Jones © 2003 Freedom PAM-1022

ORIGINAL FUSION (from my C.D. “Freedom”)
Convergence Scott Jones © 2003 Freedom PAM-1022 ...I'm playing acoustic drums on this track, as well as guitar, I sequenced the bass part.

ALTERNATE TAKE
Convergence ALT TAKE

I was very fortunate to have released this new version to some very encouraging reviews...

Here are those reviews:

REVIEWS

I'm fortunate to have been in Keyboard magazines Discoveries column, Recording magazine's Reader's tapes, Music and Computers magazine's Spotlight column.

I have recently confirmed my line up for my next C.D. to be released late summer 2005 :

...Dave Weckl's keyboardist Steve Weingart,

...Steve Vai's and Planet X drummer Virgil Donati,

...as well as Planet X bassist Rufus Philpot,

...and Tribal Tech bassist Gary Willis,

...OHM and Megadeth guitarist Chris Poland will be doing a guest solo on one track,

As well as:

...Scott Henderson, Scott Lerner, Guthrie Govan, Ron Thal, Greg Howe, Joel Hoekstra

...Bassist Gerald Veasley will be doing a duet with me on one track.

...legendary Nashville Bassist Keith Horne will be playing one track.

Producer/engineer Anton Pukshansky, is aboard also...Anton is a Grammy award winner for his work on Santana's "Supernatural".

Carlos will soon be considering a tune of mine for an upcoming release.

Anyway, here are some other clips, not released, though I'd like to share them with you; I like to play in a bunch of different styles and these reflect that best:

STRAIGHT AHEAD JAZZ
Sjones-GIANT STEPS 2004 my take on the Coltrane tune

SHRED
Sjones-44 Seconds with Virgil Donati (an unreleased jam I did over one of Virgil's solos from his CD "Stretch")

GYPSY / DJANGO-STYLE
Sjones-All of Me My take of the jazz standard "All Of Me", played from a Django-esque approach. I did the backing track also and produced it to sound "old".

FUSION BALLAD
Sjones-Beck-like Ballad a bit of Beck, Henderson and Holdsworth on this...

MODERN CLASSICAL
Sjones-Modern Classical

COUNTRY
Sjones-COUNTRY PICKIN\' TUNE

SMOOTH JAZZ
Sjones-Sanborn Smooth Jazz Jam

MORE STRAIGHT AHEAD JAZZ
Sjones-"Softly As in a Morning Sunrise" a C minor blues-based standard with a cool set of turn-around changes. Fun to play over.

TAPPING-GIANT STEPS (JAZZ)
Sjones-GIANT STEPS All completely tapped...no picking...more of fusion, Holdsworth-ish approach than my other takes.

O COME EMMANUEL
Sjones O Come Emmanuel PERFORMED LIVE AT MY CHURCH (my arrangement with a "Matrix" and "Evanescence" feel...this is totally based on the soundtrack of "Revolutions" and an Evanesence song) I'm the arranger/orchestrator/director/guitarist, electric sitar with choir, orchestra (horns, strings), full contemporary rhythm section; - (there is a tapping solo around 5:00)

KRANTZ-LIKE JAM
Sjones-Krantz-like jam A jam I did in the style of Wayne Krantz.

BLUES
Sjones-BLUES

FUNK/FUSION
Sjones-Brecker Funk Jam

OLD SCHOOL HENDRIX-STYLE SOLO GUITAR
Sjones-Hendrix-ish Solo Piece

MORE TAPPING (ROCK)
Sjones-Legato Jam Rock based solo, mostly tapping on this one, more like Hallebeek than Holdsworth.

JAZZ SOLOING FROM THE STYLISTIC APPROACHES OF SCOFIELD, METHENY AND HENDERSON
Sjones-"Nardis" My take on the Miles Davis tune. I played it as three different approaches, one solo after another in the same track: as Scofield; as Metheny, and the last one as Henderson (with a bit of Landau)...the reharmonization and chord voicings are in the Holdsworth approach.

G3-ish BALLAD
Sjones-Satriani/Vai-ish Ballad

SOLO JAZZ GUITAR (JOE PASS-LIKE)
Sjones-arrangement of Jobim\'s "Wave" in the style of Joe Pass

BRECKER FUSION (w-BASS SOLO)
Sjones-Brecker jam with guitar and bass solo GUITAR: I recorded the guitar solo around 5 months ago; BASS: I just played the bass solo (no pick, by the way), the rest of the part was already part of the backing track...

MODERN ROCK
Sjones - "On the Way Down" Sjones© 2002 (an original Modern Rock song written with my co-writer and vocalist Mindy back in 2002)

SOLO JAZZ GUITAR (NYLON-STRING)
Sjones-arrangement of "Days of Wine and Roses" -the jazz standard written by Henry Mancini and Johnny Mercer, on my nylon string, no pick, no backing track.

PLANET X-LIKE TUNE w-VIRGIL DONATI
Sjones-Planet-X-like tune (an unreleased song I wrote over three of Virgil's solos from his CD "Stretch"....I'm playing guitar, bass and keys)


ORCHESTRAL WRITING
John Williams was my model for this Christmas Overture, as I think he writes really accessible music that still has rich harmony and rhythmic life.

If you're a fan of his, you'll hear countless references to everything from Superman, Harry Potter, Empire Strikes Back, Star Wars, and his American Journey Olympics themes.....

I basically did this in short themes from the "Hallelujah Chorus" "Joy to the World", "Angels We Have Heard on High", "Hark the Herald", "Angels From the Realms of Glory", "God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen", "O Come All Ye Faithful", and then reprised "Joy" (with a wink to the Nutcracker) and "Hark", and worked in "For Unto Us" at the end.

Here is the live recording with the full orchestra.

Scott Jones Christmas 2004 Overture LIVE

Another Christmas arrangement of mine, this time with full band and orchestra.....I tipped my hat to my favorite TV shows in this one: Battlestar Galactica (the new one), Alias, Lost, etc....starting out with a medieval string intro, and getting progressively more modern.

Scott Jones Christmas Prelude "Angels" 2005

Smile For Me

Thanks for listening and any feedback!

Dazed

Millo, cool stuff. Your technique is really amazing. I love the tone of your guitar. You rock dude.


http://flagshipmile.dmusic.com/
