Description umm...Another release without lyrics and melody.. and a few mistakes on the bass..and some over playing on guitar at times. I will work on the melody and Ill sing something...Unless some has a better idea than me...
Lyrics It will be about a guy that hits on the women in a ballroom setting...
His name will be Romantic Rick.

Another
Another interesting idea. I can hear the ballroom melody and feel that somehow this guy is going to have trouble making his connections with the ladies :) there's a touch of sadness in the tune.

Thanks
Bill

just a start
I think Id like to add a background keyboard part..hint hint.
Im going to rework some of this and add singing and melody!!!

Thanks Bill!!!!

Easy? fix
What would help this recording most dramatically and quickly, is to simply correct the mistakes, mostly in rhythm and time. At places you seem ahead of yourself and others behind. Correcting those things will tighten this whole thing up, and make it sound more 'professional'. I say easy with a question mark, because mistake-free playing is one of the hardest parts of recording, imho. Come check out some of my stuff, and you'll hear what I'm talking about... lol. I think it's actually a pretty interesting tune in general, and the start of something that could be really good, but the time issues make it hard to listen to at times. I'd love to hear a 'tightened' version of this song.

musichead said 158 days ago
yes I agree
Yes I agree with the timing issue.. All my songs here are just demos. 4 takes at the most. Ill come up with an Idea. And just jot it down fast and then go to the real studio with the idea. And its funny because in the band Im in, I demand good timimg. I even practice with a click track. But you are 100% right.. Ill work on this and maybe if I dont go out on the boat real soon ...Ill redo this one!!!
Thanks for the listen!!!

Great atmosphere here in this fine track - nice choice of guitar sounds, love it :-)

musichead said 158 days ago
If ....
If I remember. I just used the Yamaha 12 string with no fx.
Just changed the volumes between the two or three tracks.
Thanks for the listen...Still its just a start

springclock said 157 days ago
always

dig

musichead said 157 days ago
Hey!!
Good to see you too......Thanks for the stop by...Its always good to hear from you!!

lengold said 157 days ago
Really nice feel
to this. The rhythm feels like it's bordering close to reggae. I wonder if with a slight alteration it could tip over into a really catchy reggae feel. (It's probably just me - I really like catchy reggae things.)
I hope that romantic Rick has his day.
Cheers
Len



musichead said 155 days ago
problem is...
I have have never played Raggae before...so I wouldnt know a raggae beat if it hit me in the nose...hahaha... Thanks for the idea though...and the listen...and the stop by!!

very very cool track lookin for more develop on

magnatone said 152 days ago
Ricky Romance
(great title) - yes, this has much potential, I'll be anxious to hear how you develop it. I also like the arrival of the strings! Great start - thanks

said 152 days ago
Yeah...
This tune is crying out (in "wah" fashion) for full development. You're off to a great start. Love the sound on the guitar and the arrangement is really nice.

Be well!

lavalamp said 152 days ago
Cool piece
Like what's going on here. I really like the bass, sounds great. In my opinion, a 6-string might have sounded better for the rhythm.
But, I do think this is a very cool tune.

RazorsKiss said 151 days ago
i liked it as is
it has an awkward, movie soundtrack feel to it. tips on recording are silly, to an old pro like you.. if i wanted to do one thing, it would be to get more bottom end in the bass. but, small potatoes here. great post!

You do too
have a melody and a particular ambience. I can see the guy. Ruffled shirt. Too tight pants. Greasy hair. Alligator shoes. My kind of guy - not. Good luck putting this together. It has a lot of potential. You've got a fan. Thanks.

Roxylee said 91 days ago
I like this melody
with it's cool chord changes. It keeps interest going. I'd love to see this become like Drak's Ember, where everyone does their version, and adds vocals, etc. to it. :-)

musichead said 88 days ago
Need
I really need to work on this one.. Ive been lazy about it..my fault. But I have some ideas for this song...Thanks for the shout!!

Char said 47 days ago
Steve,
This is too cool not to let it become what I think would be a terrific piece. Some singing. I can't wait. It will be great. :)

musichead said 46 days ago
working
Im working on it...really i am!!!
