View Full Version : Just a little something...

Hi all,

Just a little something I've started putting together. It's nothing special, just a few chords with a "bass" line and (poor) lead over the top.

It's an Epi Les Paul straight to the PC for rhythm, mild distortion added (Danelectro Pastrami Overdrive) for the bass line and finally some spacey echo (Danelectro PB&J Delay, excellent pedal!) for the lead.

I guess I'm asking for some input on some ideas on how this might progress?
I'm at a bit of a dead end with it...

Please excuse the terrible recording quality - like I said, jack straight into the sound card!

Thanks,

David

That's the real trick isn't it.

I like the chord patterns and how you slide into them, and the second guitar with delay add a nice airey effect which opens it up.

I'm not sure if you have access to any drum loops, or a rythm machine, or even an inexpensive keyboard with drum patterns, but it may help you along.

Keep playing it until you have that 'eureka' moment, then you'll be kicking yourself for not coming up with the progession sooner.

Stick with it, and it will come!

Well I'm hearing a harder part, like straight driven A....C....D or something to that effect to follow. Or...anything...

I couldn't actually make it to your tune. As soon as I clicked on your link I got a ton of popups. Did anyone else have this experience?

I liked it.:AOK
I could imagine the echo parts looping around into themselves and resolving back at the beginning, making a longer tune of the basic idea. I'm sure as you experiment you'll find something you like. All in all, very nice, a bit short.:applause

Thanks for the input guys - yeah I'll keep going with this one.

I might try the A, C, D progression in there and see what I get.
