Falling Down - A song I've been working on
Give me your opinion on this "backing track". I started this stong quite some time ago but I never finished it. It needs some good lead playing (or maybe some vocals) and I will be adding some lead guitar to it some day. Until then, I'm hoping that some fretters here can do something fun with it.
It's called "Falling Down".

Excuse the ending - something went wrong at the end of the song. There's a loud noise for some reason. My computer is probably having trouble handling the processing power, exporting from Cubase.

A really good recording Robert! A little Allanah Myles inspired? I liked it!

Alannah Myles? No, she was not the influence on this one.

Hi Robert,
I loved this backing track. Really nice groove. I also like the tone of your guitar. How did you record the guitar part?
I'm sure that you can add some ripping lead to this.

I miked my Vox AD50VT with an SM-57 close up, into my Tascam US-122. I then added chorus and delay in Cubase. I used those free VST plugins from http://www.kjaerhusaudio.com/classic-series.php
I used my Telecaster on this one.
Thanks!

Cool jam, Robert. To me, the song had kind of a Robben Ford-ish feel to. As I was listening to it, I was imagining his voice singing the vocals. As for the lead, I'm sure you have some great ideas already. I'm hearing a Strat middle p'up tone through a slightly over-driven Soldano, and maybe the same rig with a little touch-wah for for a few fills here and there. We all look forward to hearing what you cook up.

Thanks Nelskie, but I think YOU need to pick up your axe this time and give us some Nelskie- Mojo! Right Fretters? (this is called Peer Pressure...)

Great Backing Robert... can't wait to hear some fretters on it.. I know Swede already has one..
Nelskie: Don't worry about it buddy.. this is a pressure free board which we all appreciate just for that reason.. I'll be the last one to ask you to plug that G&L into that Cyber Twin and let go with it... Even if I been waiting a year to hear that Cyber-Twin.. I can wait another year... when The time comes I know you will let us hear it... If I was you, I would wait till Tone2da'bone turns one loose...

Fear not Nelskie...
I will RIP into a song in a minute no matter what it ends up sounding like.. I have no shame..
Here is my take for a minute...

Using my Strat MIM 60's and Cyber-Champ....
Bet a better player with a G&L and Cyber-Twin could really make this backing sound good... cough..

On my mind? Well, going to that G chord after playing that main thing in A made it seem like the song is falling down on G all the time, but it's not in the key of G. The key of the song is A minor.
Plus I think it sounds cool - that is the most important thing, ain't it?

Here's my humble attempt
I took a few stabs at it improvising over Robert's backing track and this is the most presentable of them, which is not saying much with my feeble guitar playing. I used my Heritage H535 through my J-Station when I recorded this. Hope it is not too laughable.
