Reviews for DORU's songs:

With the Zeppelin-like riffing on 'Suicide Sunrise' climaxing with a gunshot, and then the transcendent final guitar playing that has all the shimmer of a rainbow in the cloud-rolling regions of Valhalla, Doru has taken guitar technique to another level. This fine musician from pastoral Romania also has a song called 'Country Life,' sampling farm animals before going into a bluesy, smoky guitar backed by incessant drumming. It should be noted that many of the Romany folk or Gypsies have lived in this bucolic country, and farm animals are a way of life. Then there's the Zappa influenced guitar playing of 'Waiting For You,' almost an instrumental anthem, in my opinion. I only wish now he'd name a song after Romanian's great poet, Lucian Blaga. I think Doru is capable enough to devise a tribute. Reviewed by: Norman Cotton *** Reviews for DORU's song Tai Ba Ra Tab Tap Tap Ta (Politician's speech) THE QUALITY OF DORU CONTINUES...... I never cease to be amazed at the inventiveness with which you pursue your craft...........VERY cool. Thanks for posting this!! Reviewed by: RADIO1 *** I got it The babble at the beginning and throughout great. great playing and nice mix. fun song and interesting. Reviewed by: dreamer *** the real mix!!! begins with some "babalabbabababb" like in a traditional folk song. then a dance/house beat (or however you may call this) followed by a wah-guitar.. heheh everything mixed up to something new.. great idea!! sound is a bit dumb... and structured confuses!! but unique tune anyway: Reviewed by: no world and friends *** Kinda different! I like, I like. I was wondering where the title came from but I figured it out. This is probably the most original sounding song I have heard on Mixposure yet as far as the vocals go. Very unique bop/scat sound. The guitar comes in and starts shredding in the background, pretty neat. I could do without the hip-hop beat but hey it works well. For some reason that sort of drum beat always conjures up memories of disco for me (must be my age). OK great job over all. I'm gonna listen to another. Reviewed by: Blairnt Central *** Reviews for DORU's song The Train That Never Comes Guitar has some KICK-azz BODY! Like, it just INVADES th' ears, & takes over the mind! Lovin' th' wah-wah, big SCREAM, it seems! Recording was fine, tho' th' guitar seemed to be a bit high - not sure, yer' call! I give this a HIGHLY RECOMMENDED, to be sure, 'specially for those who can't GET enuff guitar! Reviewed by: rotcod REVIEWCREW *** yeah... loud and crazy.... fine wah-guitar expression that gives the whole song a psychedelic touch... jamming with my drummer!!! Reviewed by: no world and friends *** While His Guitar Weeps Wah, wah-your guitar is crying, crying the way Jimi's did. You nailed his style. Great pickin', brother. It's just me but a bass in this would make it complete. None the less, the song can rest on it's merit. Nice job !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Reviewed by: MisterH *** LIX--- Droll drum sets up a haunting mood for the guitar to explode on... great WAH WAH and tonal expression as the instrumental rips along...The Guitar seems to cry for that train!!! Keep ripp'n them lix...-Austn Reviewed by: Austn *** Jimi, back again Love the trills, love the bluesy influences- you just let it all go with the solos and its a great backing riff... I'd love it if the drums weren't looped, it would definitely add a lot Reviewed by: ontherocks *** Love it Raw!! Nothin' I like better than hearing someone crank up their electric and let it all hang out. You do Jimi justice with this one, man. Great job! Reviewed by: yoneg *** hendrix early recordings..... basic beat...early hendrix recordings..i.e.basement tapes; screaming wah-wah effects(the frequency peaks are quite high). Good vibe and Hendrix-like style.... cheers J.R. Reviewed by: jrbeshro *** Great Wah-Wah! Great guitar work...a very cool track! The quality of the recording is good, and the performance of Doru in his guitar is amazing. He really managed to get hendrix´s style... Congrats, great work!

Let me know where I can get the CD!!! *** Reviewed by: whyyou More Zappa than Hendrix Man, you PLAY the guitar. Technically you are possessed with Hendrix but your fingers play more Zappa style notes. Each guitar dub plays over one another. This is true experimentation and surely amazing one at that. The gunshot had my arms in the air :-) *** Reviewed by: yoneg Maybe not for everybody But it sure works for me! Cool guitar diddles, I just love hearing someone havin' fun with their axe! Highly recommended to all guitar afficianados out there! *** Reviewed by: paulnery REVIEWCREW VERY COOL TRACK!! Great track, with an excellent guitar performance. Experimental like some of Hendrix and Zappa... Very good sound quality, cool drums... I like the way that the guitar is played, like if in a live jam... Really a nice work! *** Reviewed by: jeremyprophet Nice guitar work. I think the song would benifit from a more natural sounding backround. It's got the live fell exept for the baking drum. Give me a hollar some time, and I'll be glad to lay down some beat for ya. jerm *** Reviewed by: MisterH Hey, I know you. Didn't you play with that guy, you know, what's his name, yeah, Jimi Hendrix, yeah that's it. This sounds so much like the style Jimi Hendrix used on "Room Full Of Mirrors" off of his "Rainbow Bridge" album. Matter of fact, you deplict the sound of that album but in your own unique way. This is a nicely done track and well executed guitar playing with the pans. Yep, I liked it. *** Reviewed by: rotcod REVIEWCREW What drew me to review it.... Was your having declared it EXPERIMENTAL... I'm assuming that you pegged it that way 'coz it sounds so much (on the lead guitar side) like parts of what Zappa did at times. I'm just LOVIN' your leads... percz are fine, & the overall feel of the trak is JAMMIN'... I like it well enough to give it an early-Sunday HIGHLY RECOMMENDED! *** Reviews for DORU's song My Way Reviewed by: Blairnt Central crunchy guitar After listening to "Tai Ba Ra Tab Tap Tap Ta (Politician's speech)" I decided to give this one a try. Hmmm, interesting guitar thing about halfway through the song, different sort of fade bounce kind of thing. I like it. The drum sound and beat starting to tune out is really nice sounding very clean. Is that samples or a loop or something? Cool arrangement. I'd recommend this. *** Reviewed by: yoneg Works for me! This guy's rapidly becoming one of my favorite guitarists on this site. Fresh, original axe-work uncluttered with vocals or overly ambitious side-men, DORU gets straight to the point - let's rock! Particularly enjoyed the panning trick in the middle of this piece. Good job, highly recommended! *** Reviewed by: Enerchy My Way I like the raw sounds. Song actually make me think of Kinks in 60's. drum beat was steady. Keep on playing ! *** Reviewed by: Wizard Sleeve REVIEWCREW Funky guitar playing, and a pretty cool beat, tho it stayed far to samey all the way through, need to work out some more fills for the drums to make them a bit more interesting. The levels on everything seemed pretty good, nothing was peaking at full vol on my system. Good work *** Reviewed by: hottohandle Cool This peice is fun, relaxed. The drums def compliment the guitars. I wish we could take some distortion off the guitars actually, it sounds a little too fuzzy for the drums. Creative. -Eric- *** Reviewed by: RADIO1 Great Song! I loved the DIY feel of this track, and I really liked the groove to the tune. Very much a Davie Allan (Does anyone remember The Arrows? Check out Davie Allan!) feel. Could definitely tell this was a 4 track recording, but that only added to the fun. *** Reviews for DORU's song Waiting For You Reviewed by: karmapolice Good musician Your a very good guitarist! Was a pleasure to hear you play your axe like that. The only problem i had with it was that the backing tracks were very repetive and could have done with a bit of a change. *** Reviewed by: yoneg I've lost count I've lost count of all the places this song took me, incredible for a three minute piece. Nice choice of percussion, that's a great beat! The distorted rhythm guitar lays out the perfect two-chord canvas for this artist to work on. I'm guilty, along with others here of instantly reaching to compare this musician with Hendrix, Santana, et al; but the more I listen all I hear is DORU! Very imaginative, very original, great song! *** Reviewed by: jeremyprophet Interesting Good fusion at the begining... Could use some base, needs an underythm. A lot of high end, but not much bottom, note wise that is. Keep experimenting with it, pull in some better drum samples. As usual great guitar work. This would work great for a movie soundtrack IMHO. jerm *** Reviewed by: toiletodda Good work! Nice intro.... with the drums and guitar. Good guitar sound. I am not a fan of instrumentals but this one is not so bad. Good production. Stay on! *** Reviewed by: Enerchy searching for Hendrix Jungle rhythm is cool. I like the solo wah wah guitar. very Hendrix style. Good Jamming Tune. Guitar playing is good. I love long notes ! *** Reviewed by: Wizard Sleeve REVIEWCREW WS Loving that intro as well man, quite a dark almost jungle feel to the beat. They sound a lil bit distorted in places, but not too much. Funky guitar playing tho, great solos the levels just don't sound quite right on everything to me, but the tune is fucking ACE!! *** Reviewed by: hottohandle Cool Way cool intro! The rythm guitar has a slightly annoying distortion (sorry guys!) The leads sound awesome though. Great skill. The drums are way cool. Could could make the snare and bass drums hit with more presence, volume, and clarity. Cool. -Eric *** Reviewed by: MisterH Interesting You sure can play "dat fiddle". Really nice guitar playing. I liked the drum tracks in this too. Sure would like to hear a bass in here but maybe that's not the effect you were going for. It could help round those 2 chords out a little more. None the less I found myself liking your song. Kind of a Carlos Santana feel to it. Good job. *** Reviewed by: RADIO1 Smokin' Lead Guitar! Guy defnitely has some chops, no matter how old that makes me sound. I really like the feel of both of his tracks. *** Under construction. Everybody who writes guitar driven music these days, is even more aware of their musical identity than players a decade ago. These days everyone is experimenting. This song is no exception. I think the big beat percussion (ala Fat Boy Slim) coupled with the late 70's style soloing makes for an interesting mix. Most listeners will be challenge by the fact that it's instrumental but that's a given. Over all view: this trax has credibility in the ideas department. The production sound is good and a nice wah-wah sound on a guitar never goes unappreciated. It does however require a little more variation with melody/rhythm guitars, bass would also need to be addressed, to give the track more bounce. But this is still a good "work in progress", holds potential and has vision. Reviewed by: darrenwicks from Cape Town, Western Cape, South Africa *** pretty cool Pretty cool. I don't really dig the drum beats all that much, but the guitar gives it all a little edge, making the drum beats more acceptable. the overall sound is pretty nice though. good soloing. Reviewed by: PoppaNeptune from Coralville, Iowa *** awesome song!! The guitars and beat in the start are awesome!!!...I love it already...I love the guitars, its like a giant solo, which is so cool!!...I like how its all high pitched...sounds really awesome!!...The beat in the middle of the song gets even cooler...This song rocks!!...I love it!!...Kind of short though... Reviewed by: Munhall, Pennsylvania *** a good start I like the guitars, but I hate the drums. The drums have that horrible el-cheapo drum machine sound. The lead guitar makes great use of the wah-wah and noodling to give the track the popular middle-eastern flavor that seems to be popping up everywhere in instrumental rock. (including a track by my own band The Elektrik Gpysies, yes I know, such a shameless plug) The rhythm guitar adds a solid foundation for the noodling of the guitar, but this needs something more. The fake drums just aren't enough to fill in the empty spaces, no matter how fancy you make them. How about a bass line? or some keyboards? This is a good basic idea for a song, but it has a long way to go Reviewed by: tiedyeman from Sonora, California *** Good wahwah I'm not much into electronic music but this one has a cool groove... looping but cool... That's a good start for a song maybe you should try to find something else to add to this trip a kind of hook that would add a lot to a well started tune!!! nice job! Reviewed by: Lera from Quebec *** Off in Wah-Wah Land I find the beat of this song quite interesting, and also how the guitar matches up well with the changes. Personally, I don't particularly like excessive use of the wah-wah sound, but if that's your thing then run with it; some people will like it, others might not. It was interesting to hear the combo of the wah and whammy, placed tastefully at different points in the song. My view of the song and progression itself goes like this: the beat is awesome, but the guitar playing could do more and could sound a lot better with some added riffs and snippets of lead. It's great to hear a modern, techno-esque style beat with rock-style guitars on top; you're headed in the right direction to create some original, unique sounding songs. Reviewed by: bhodges01 from Stillwater, Oklahoma *** define the melodies the elctronic beats works well at some point but in general there are too much simple and loud,there is not enough,try too make some complex rythm work,lot of more changes in drums.it is a really good effort as a instrumental rock song,and sometimes there are really good guitar passages as happens at minute 1.30.the rest it must be more well played because there is not a clear solo,i cant feel a good flowing sound. the song is ending well,it works the especific kind of volumen down that u have chosen.but the melodies need to be more worked,it sounds well but without good hook and deep sounds in the scales. keep on working in the drums too,try to make a bit more rock drum or instead of this continue with electronic beats but a bit soft and not so loud. good luck. Reviewed by: Windmill from Bilbao, Bizkaia, Spain *** unique amazing lead guitar work... great arrangement on the drums i like the uniqueness of the rhythm...the song could use some more parts mixed in... Reviewed by: oodumus from Boston, Massachusetts *** hi hi, i liked the idea of puting the guitar in there (sound just like my songs too) the drums some tomes goes out of time, i think would be a good idea is to use some pentatonic scale wioth that, but that is okay the song was yours i liked it. Reviewed by: julio_maristela from Marlborough, Massachusetts *** more brushes and paints please Okay, I'm 2 minutes into this song and you're still rocking on that wah pedal....that's just outright abuse.....and it continued through 'till the end...definately a drag in my opinion. Tonal variation is important -- even more so when you provide little variation in the rest of the song's elements. I can dig playing along to some loops but could you not come up with more than the same two backing chords? You can have some harmonic development and still play with loops. You've got some ability on the guitar (technically; a lot of the licks were pretty cool. But, in the end, noodling around is just noodling around. On your next song try to double the number of chords you use...and then, the song after than, try eight...force yourself to expand, compose, play through some changes... Start paining with a larger set of brushes and colors. Reviewed by: Bofatron from Bonner Springs, Kansas *** Good intro The drum samples are arranged nicely. Very heavy (maybe add more bottom end). Guitar playing is a bit overdone on this track. This would make great tv/film music Reviewed by: EminentBliss from Dayton, Ohio *** Good Groove and Feel Great drum groove sounds like a cross between electronica, Phil Collins and latin. Nice melodic lead. Nice soaring feel. Reminds me a little of Santana, but is still original. You don't just mindlessly noodle but have a good feel. You left space for the groove. Your tone reminds me of no one which is good. Reviewed by: xandal from Indianapolis, Indiana *** Techno drumbeat The lead guitar part in the just seemed to sort of be there. It just doesn't seem well planned out, and it seems to go nowhere. Well, I can picture about 30 seconds of this song being an intro to a song... I was waiting for it to change into some fast and furious and really in your face, but it never happened; it stayed on the same beat. It really lacks needed diversity. Reviewed by: - janyeno from Fredericksburg, Virginia *** Great Guitar Great combination of interesting African sounding drums and a wailing overdriven guitar. Has plenty of WOW factor this one with good use of delay and natural wood. Reviewed by: guitar4u from Bedford, United Kingdom *** i could go native this tunes got a definate pulse beating heavily , a sampled drum pattern i guess, but all the same nice fit, when the guitar comes in your'e expecting some long winded industrial axe to be wielded,but instead, melody and tone of a Zapparesque-Hendrix ilk. Makes me want to play cowboys and indians. Reviewed by: Dethkit from Pointy Biro, North Wales, United Kingdom *** Reviews for DORU's song Sunrise Suicide Band High On Water At first the drums seamed like they were gonna go off and possibly dominate.They set a cool mood/groove for the dualing effects ridden three and a half minute guitar solo that follows. The tune is clever, fun and wacky. This song in all it's glory is a relentless tricky beat marinated in a snake fight under water. That's cool. The recording sounds good and it sounds like you accomplished your vision quite well. I liked the guitar sound and effect but it got old. Maybe a sick bass line could counter act some of the monotony. High on water comes to mind a little bit..cloud 9 rules! One thing that struck me as wierd is that the drum beat changes out of nowhere in the latter part of the song for what I'm assuming is the sudden realization for the need of dynamics. Trippy but kind of boring outro solo. I'd say the potential is there to make this a tune that really stands out. Reviewed by: Billy_Jesus from Rochester, New York *** Oh man Like the way you have done something a little different with the tried and tested 'solo over guitar magazine backing track' formula. Some pretty spacey stuff going on, like the use of delay. Reviewed by: tom_ace from Market Harborough, Leicestershire, United Kingdom *** The Real Warped Tour THis is a wonderfully spaced and warped track! I hear alot of influences here: Satriani, Vai, Beck, and maybe even a little EVH. What's great about this track is that it sounds like it was composed impromtu, which also keeps it sounding fresh and exciting. THe only problem I had was it tended to be a bit drawn out, but this is a minor problem and a personal preference. I also like how you incorporated the delay and reverb on this track, keeps the track sounding purely spaced and surreal rather than poorly placed and cheesy! Great job fellas. Reviewed by: Doteen from County Kerry, Ireland *** Did I just swallow 20 mushrooms? While I like the different feel of this song, I cannot escape the feel of it being forced. It reminds me of some sort of acid trip. However, I have to give credit for doing something different. I did like the Hendrix-esque guitar work until the "bleep" (moving up the fretboard) came in. Then the whole thing kept a silly feel in my mind. Not a bad listen, but definitely not my cup of tea. A for effort though. Reviewed by: 1000talons from Charlotte, North Carolina *** Psychedelic Back in my smokinng days I would have enjoyed this piece because its loaded with effects rather than purpose. With that, I'm going to assume that if this piece does have any purpose, then it has to be only to mesmerize the listener with background drum loops which have no connection to the lead or anything else. The lead sort of goes off into its own world while the drum loops change randomly. The lead has a lot of echo, reverb, and delay in it which gives it the ability to put the listener in a trance or day-dream. Later in the piece there's the sound of a gunshot after which the drums stop immediately. It were as though the drummer were shot in the head. Awsome as far as creativity is concerned. If your aim is psychedelics then keep up the good work. Otherwise, I'd like to hear some sequencial patterns and more rythm. Oh, and please add a baseline of some sort. Reviewed by: mrdean_2 from Lake Charles, Louisiana *** Great drums, original guitar sounds. Much more imaginative than a lot of the songs in this genre. Quite jazzy, and some nice use of appropriate effects. Not sure how long I could listen to this for but it would make an interesting soundtrack to some kind of drug enduced stupour scene in a crazy hippie film. Reminds me of Hendrix at Woodstock. Gunshot...mad. Reviewed by: KevJones from United Kingdom *** Yeah! . Good drum intro but it end up to repetitive and when it changes at the point the echo has over whelmed the songs.The lack of control of the feedback control on the echo and the distinct absence of a clear bass line make this ,although cool, unremberable song until the gunshots.This is when the sounds are the bestI wish that the whole song was like this....As a personal looping/delay freak I have learned by trial and error that the music or loops can become strangely BOTH static and overwhelming at the same time...It just becomes a tornado blur where you cannot focus on a single tree or say a sinlge bassline or melody...I suggest that you take the end of the song and other great1 Reviewed by: Jacksonville Bea, Florida *** ? shouldn't be in experimental rock category? ok its hard to review a song with only drums and guitar, it sounds like a sick guitar, i cant find a melody or a structure or something similar, to be a guitar soloist you need to improve a lot on making arrangements, maybe a bass line, develope a theme and work it. Reviewed by: jussef from Puebla, Mexico *** Experimental music. It sounded like the guitar player had some fun with his instrument. No arrangement to talk about, just a aimless improvisation. Please get some structure. Reviewed by: JackMadeja from Malmoe, Skane, Sweden *** Hendrixy Nice beat at the intro. This piece lacks a structure. It is a guitarist with heavy effects jamming over drum loops. Sorry, it got a little tired for my taste. Reviewed by: Jeffn1 from Dix Hills, New York *** Background Music This song conveys a lot of interesting ideas, but it seemed to have (for the most part) been drifting around. I believe that this piece sounds more repeatitive than it actually is. That is because with the guitars, it moves along the same basic musical idea throughout, and the drum beat is basically the same throughout. If you could figure-out how to weave some lyrics into this, it might also help (though that could be a daunting task!). Being repeatitive works vocal songs because there is always the benefit of the words to carry the listener's attention, but in instrumental music, you have to try ten times harder to create varying, yet related musical ideas to carry the listener's interest. Obviously, the piece is suppose to be building to the sound effect at just before three minutes. Speeding up the style of the drumming and guitars COULD help build the piece up to this point, as could adding more of a harmony (counterpoint, even). It would also bring out the effect as a whole if it were slightly louder than everything else going on, if there was some reverb in it, and if the pause between that and the continuation of the music were slightly longer (carried by the reverb of the blast). As it stands, this is an okay background song. But it conveys some good musical ideas that need some polishing. Reviewed by: chrislau from Bonita Springs, Florida *** Pointless Guitar Wanking Award Winner! You win! Dude! I love playing with my guitar too. Aren't effects fun, I just love echoes, a wah-wah and a good whammy bar. I could pointlessly guitar wank all day, but really...this is supposed to be a song? The drum machine sounds almost convincing...NOT! Throw in a bass and come up with at least a minimal structure or some kind of arrangement. Noodles anyone? Nice noodling, how about writing a song? Garageband.com, hmmmmmmmmmm the name implies a band, not a solo guitarist having fun with his new effects pedal. Am I overly sarcastic and cynical? Probably, but if I posted something self-indulgent like this, I hope somebody would give me a heads up. Nobody will ever buy this, EVER! Nobody even really wants to hear it, unless they are in awe of pointless guitar wanking, so unless you are posting stuff here only to amuse yourself, STOP IT! Your wah-wah pedal is way too noisy by the way, try turning down the gain during recording, or better yet throw that cheap-ass wah pedal in the trash. OK, OK I know this is a harsh review, but time is money, and somebody needs to needs to open your eyes. My work is done here. Reviewed by: tiedyeman from Sonora, California *** Cool mood-altering track Nice percussion opening and guitar. Well-played. I've been hearing a fair amount of this kind of thing during my Garageband review period lately, but this one definitely stands out among the crowd. My, but Buckethead sure seems to have shaped the guitar-shredders of today, hasn't he? Nice stuff. Reviewed by: Motosota2 from Anderson, Indiana *** Is this a song? I just sounds like someone at a guitar store playing with a delay pedal for the first time. If you built something around it it would work, but now you just got noise. Reviewed by: infinitebass1 from Chicago, Illinois *** Delayed Reaction Although the guitar playing isn't bad it seems to be just a bunch of riffs slapped together. The tonne of delay used was there all the way through and made this piece very one dimensional. The distortion effect on the guitar wasn't bad but that kind of tone is something I'm personally trying to steer clear of myself, but some people really love that kind of sound so it's a personal thing. I see you've used a fair arsenal of guitar pyrotechnics including some dive-bomb whammy bar antics and fret sliding. The distortion is a little noisy, especially in the quieter section towards the end. The drum program was pretty much just a loop that I found monotonous - it did nothing to support the guitar, but then again the guitar didn't seem to be written with the percussion in mind. Overall, as I have alluded you have potential as a guitarist but could certainly vary the effects, tone and dynamics of your playing as well as concentrate on song structure. Reviewed by: Spedzar from Newcastle, New South Wales, Australia *** .. Hell yeah. This track is pretty energetic. Hmm it could be me but the percussions seem to be totally loose from the rest of the track. And totally out of tempo. Is that on purpose? Hmm wierd, you might consider just totally removing them because I find them quite distracting now from the guitars, a track doesn't need percussions by definition. The guitar playing is very good. I like the dolphin or whale sounds you are making, and it all sounds like a live improvisation which is something I always like. I totally didn't see that gunshot coming, and for a second I thought that was the outro. But it isn't. I kinda miss the purpose of it, and adds to my feeling of this track not being really cohesive.Production is allright. Because of those dolphin sounds you put pictures in my mind of underwater rockers ehehe. I liked this track, but it's more some good guitar playing then a real track. Sounds like a loose jam recorded. Reviewed by: Namelesser from Haarlem, Noord-Holland, Netherlands *** Cool Tune The guitarist really gets down and dirty on this track, really letting out some cool sounds and at the same time being very expressive. The tones and mix were very cool. The beat is pretty snappy and cool. The progression is odd yet still very cool, I'm digging this. Reviewed by: bhodges01 from Stillwater, Oklahoma *** Delay overload The tune started out great, I thought it was intro. The guitar tone sounds great but could have done without all the delay. There was no real direction to the song, no reacurring theme or melody. Reviewed by: mrbigstuff944 from Stillwater, Oklahoma *** Not bad, but needs more This is not a bad piece of instrumental playing, but I think it needs more. First of all, the beat on the drums needs some variety. That same beat over and over gets somewhat tedious long before the song is over. It needs more changes, more breaks, accents, fills, etc. The guitar playing is pretty good, but it seems to lack any structure or direction. It just sounds like aimless noodling on the guitar. There needs to be more well defined themes that are developed and explored, rather than the unplanned jam this sounds like. The arrangement also needs more than just the guitar and drums. A nice bass guitar part would add a lot to the stability and structure of the piece which is really lacking. Overall, not bad guitar playing at all. It just needs more. Reviewed by: nwenigma from Plano, Texas *** cool drum beat I like this tune...it had a lot going on to make it interesting...the dream beat was cool, the lead line was different...very psychedelic. the effects on the guitar were interesting, and gave things a lot of depth. Reviewed by: Neilbatterie from Santa Cruz, California *** trippin This song gives you the feel like you are on an LSD trip. A constant beat through most of the song with a strange guitar loaded with reverb and delay, ending suddenly with a gunshot. The song then resumes with the guitar only and loses the beat. There's nothing really bad about this song, but there's not really a lot to it either. Reviewed by: rockytriton from Unspecified *** Needs Some Bass Guitar... Pretty cool idea. The drum beat gets a little repetitive without bass guitar though. You should really find a way to incorporate some "counter-melody" with the bass guitar here. Don't go crazy with the effects...maybe some popping octaves or disonant chords would be cool. One last thing...If you listen real close, you can hear the guitar lick from the GARAGEBAND.COM homepage. I swear...They should replace that little open E chord with your song!
