| Overture 1928 by Fioretti | 6 days ago |
| Not sure I like the backtrack production. Your guitar work sounds great though. Very impressed. | |
| Trust by Fioretti | 10 days ago |
| This is killer. It needs a little more sound to fill it up in some places. Particularly in the galloping areas. Just my opinion tho... Your playing is very good. |
|
| Lines in the Sand by Fioretti | 10 days ago |
| Guitars are sounding real good dude. Very Nice. |

| Province of Knowledge New Cut by JTC | 11 days ago |
| I always hate my tone. The reason it always sounds like crap is because I'm forever screwing with things. Plus I think my headphones fool me into thinking the tone is better than what I'm recording. One day I'll get it right... | |
| Superhero by Zombre | 15 days ago |
| Very very cool & extremely fun listen. I think it needs a little bit of an intro. Awesome as usual. |
|
| Destroy Earth by Zombre | 16 days ago |
| Great theme (I love Alien stuff). Killer performance and composition. Interested in lyrics for this? |

| Little Ninja Guy by Zombre | 17 days ago |
| Really cool Zombre. I was kind of expecting some vocals to be in this since several of your recent uploads all contained clever lyrics. This is very cool and the guitar work is impressive as always. |

| I love the description of "Haunting" by RAVENS Very mystical cool vibe! |
|
| Stormcloud (Ver.2) by albumflaps | 20 days ago |
| Alan the drum line is just too simple for the way heavy rhythm track. Everything else sounds good to me. I think I'll side with Waltz on the tapping part but I was kind of thinking you were getting that sound intentionally. I totally adore the heavy rhythm guitar. It's really sweet! | |
| Iota by Drakbots | 20 days ago |
| These are my favorite type of mix's. Lead distorted guitar over slow clean guitar. It's a great formula for some awesome songs. Nice to hear a very well played and clean recording that's not overworked. This is kinda begging for some deep vocals. The change up in the middle is a nice touch as well. Way heavy on the reverb though... Good post. I'm downloading. |
|
| Stormcloud (First take) by albumflaps | 20 days ago |
| This is cool man. I like the guitar in the intro mucho. Nice heavy riffing. Need's a bass line to fill the mix. | |
| Bonk by Heightened | 24 days ago |
| It's awesome to hear new work from you Heightened! |

| Nuclear Fart by Stebbo | 28 days ago |
| The title of this song will draw many listeners. I couldn't help but come check this out. Not really my style but well done none the less. |

| I think this is my favorite "G.D." song to date. I really like it. It's very raw and uncluttered. Everything is easily heard. Nothing negative about this tune from me. JEFF |

| Orion by Fioretti | 2 months ago |
| Well done bro. | |
| Searching by SiddP | 3 months ago |
| I think it's got more of an Aerosmith kind of rock funk feel to it. The overall feel of the song is great. I agree with what was said about the guitars. I didn't really find anything wrong with the vocals but I'm one of those people that doesn't pay much attention to vocals and have to force myself to focus on them. It's one of my unfortunate weaknesses. I have vocal deficit disorder i guess. Overall I like your tune. |
|
| The ****kickers ball by southside | 3 months ago |
| That was great dude. Very much Southern Rock. I really like! Whatever track was panned all the way right needs to be brought more into the mix. I can tell it's lead guitar track but it's so low in the mix that its not really contributing to the mix. The overall quality of the mix is superb. |
|
| Persistence ( For Reference only: Demo track) by albumflaps | 3 months ago |
| I think the guitars are a bit dry and treble sounding. But... If you added bass guitar then they will probably sound just right. I agree with Greg about the effects. You usually manage to get great tone but the busier the mix the more I think you have to back off the effects. Especially delay and reverb. I have noticed that your mixes are always very loud. I was wondering why this is. I never mentioned it before because I thought it was part of how you were getting that big fat tone. Cool riffs in this piece and nice layering so that the guitar tracks kind of play around each other. I like that stuff a lot! |
|
| Power Trip by albumflaps | 3 months ago |
| Sounds great. Has a very cool vibe. I agree about the drums. They fit but just don't have the full sound the guitars have. I guess you are just too good at recording the 6 string. The whole thing really took on a new feel when the vocals came in. I was really digging it. Maybe there should have been vocals in places scattered through the song. Great recording dude! |

| Hey Farlow, This is great. Can you send me just the guitar track? If not I'll use this one. | |
| Them Jeans by Zombre | 3 months ago |
| That was great. I love the lyrics. I really have no suggestions for improving the mix... sorry,, just didn't hear anything I didn't like. Awesome job Zombre. More like this please! |
|
| Shoooo by Zombre | 3 months ago |
| I"m gonna ask what my wife thinks... Ok Done. Here is the actual response. Me: Hey do you like this music? Her (gradually looking my way): "Naaaaooooo????" I thought it was very entertaining Z. |

| Heart Shaped Box - Cover by Zombre | 3 months ago |
| A: The Vocals are very good. Great Actually. B: The mix is really balanced and feels good between my ears. C. The background guitars sound great. There is a little something in there that really sounds sweet to me but I don't know how to describe exactly the parts. D. In the very beginning I thought it sounded like part of the recording was clipping. Is that intentional? When the vocals came in the rest of the mix settled in and I didn't hear it any more. E. I didn't like the little break part of the solo. Maybe if it were a little simpler. Overall: This could easily be played on the radio. The song is already a hit and I think there would be few who argue against this version being superior than the original. |
|
| New World Disorder (Take 2) by albumflaps | 3 months ago |
| Hell, I think the second one sounds great. I love the riff's and tone. I still think the drums should be a little more prominent in the mix. Superb and very "Epic" recording. | |
| New World Disorder by albumflaps | 3 months ago |
| I think everything is great except the volume of each instrument in the mix. I think I would have mixed it a little differently. I think the drums need to be more prominent to keep the whole song more together. Overall it really sounds good to me. I wouldn't change the tone or riff's at all. | |
| Wake up - Vox demo by fminorpenta | 3 months ago |
| This is great. Love the riff's. The Vocals sound great to me. The fit. | |

| Love Comes To Me by alexkoepp | 4 months ago |
| I think your vocals are great. I like the song too. |
|
| Short and sweet by albumflaps | 4 months ago |
| I like everything except the way the backing loops. Something weird sounding right where it starts over. The bells are an interesting addition. I almost didn't notice them. Kind of subtle right at the end. Guitars sound good. |
|
| Splasicmenco by albumflaps | 4 months ago |
| I like this recording. This is way different than anything else I've heard from you. The ambiance... the vibe is really deep. There is something about the way the notes are played that grabs me. The attack on the notes is stronger than I'd expect for an ambient piece. It works... Kind of sounds Asian or Oriental in some ways. Almost sounds like you were playing a harp in some areas. Great sounds to play with the senses. |

| Moods (Seven) - Hope by albumflaps | 4 months ago |
| Didn't announce on Guitar.com??? I like it. Kind of like a love song without the lyrics. Needs a video of wind blowing the grass and a pretty girl dancing in an April dress and straw hat. http://www.northernvirginiamag.com/wp-content/uploads/juicy-couture-beaded-straw-hat-95-sakscom.jpg |

| Zombre's Zombie Shuffle by Zombre | 5 months ago |
| Downloaded to my MP3 player this morning and listened during my drives to and from work. Sounds great to me. I'm impressed with your playing skills as usual. I totally love this stuff! | |
| Crazy Dave's Emporium of Fun by SiddP | 5 months ago |
| You did a good job on the mixing I think. I can hear all the parts. I do hear a little bond within the mix. |
|
| Moonshine Blues by SiddP | 5 months ago |
 I could tell you were using a slide. It sounds like it. The only thing I want to point out is that when you slide into your notes you need to practice landing on the pitch. A lot of the notes seem to be flat. Needs a hook. Some little riff that get's your attention and repeats occasionally during the song. It's a cool little jam though. It get good around the time when the vocals come in. I like it. |

| Simply Beautiful Blues by albumflaps | 5 months ago |
| I didn't hear the "Winker" until the second listen. Haha.. Really beautiful track man. Totally movie background music type stuff. I envision a well dressed gent stopping by the bar for a drink or two on his way to pick up his girl for a romantic night on the town. His mind is flashing all the great things he and his girl will do while this music plays in the backdrop and as the music ends the camera fades away as he departs the bar dropping a cig butt into a half empty drink and tipping his hat on the way out. What makes these tracks work well is not so much how well you play the riffs you make up but how you shape the notes you decide to hang on. This recording already sounds great already but If I were to try and make it better I'd listen for those notes that are just a little plain and try to slide into them or shape them with a bend or slight dive. Maybe also trying to let them sustain until you just have to move on to the next riff. You've been putting out some awesome stuff. |
|
| Rough as a badgers bum blues... by albumflaps | 5 months ago |
| This is great stuff. The playing is excellent and the vibe is awesome. I'm hearing a little anomaly in the bass guitar that I don't like. I presume you are using a patch to make the guitar sound like a bass. Maybe I'm wrong... Other than that this is a great blues track. Really the kind of blues I like. |
|
| The Flu Blues by albumflaps | 5 months ago |
| Maybe you should get the Flu more often. It seems to help you produce some great guitar music. Feel better soon bro! |
|
| He's Behind You!! (For Zombre on G.Com) by albumflaps | 5 months ago |
| Yea that was good dude. 20 Minutes??? Really? Haha! I guess sometimes it just comes together quick. I enjoyed the listen and it really does fit the Halloween theme. |
|
| Children Of The Night by Zombre | 5 months ago |
| This is awesome. Maybe add some vocal effects like screams and a big deep voice in the background giving warnings and threats. |
|
| Who I'm Supposed To Be by JTC | 5 months ago |
| New Route? Every day is a new route. I hope something different happens every time I press record. Lately it seems like when I sit down to work on a collab for someone else I get sidetracked and start working on my own project. I kind of feel bad about it actually. I've told Allan twice (I think) that I'd play on his tunes and never have given him anything. |
|
| Who I'm Supposed To Be by JTC | 5 months ago |
| Thanks for the great comments. My drums are always crappy. I'm still programming my own drums using my BR600. I need to learn different ways to add drums. The acoustic guitar is real acoustic on my $35 acoustic guitar. I think the bass is too loud and muddying up the mix. I'm also very disappointed in the sustain on the lead guitar. I needed the notes after the big bends to ring out longer and they just sizzled out. Again, Thanks for the comments. |

| Whats the Problem? by GregDavies | 5 months ago |
| Wow man! I totally love it. |
|
| Time by Fioretti | 5 months ago |
| That was pretty good. I think you did the actual solo very well. Some of the guitar you added in other parts of the song didn't seem to sit in the mix as good as the solo did. Not so much the playing but tone and volume which made it sound more like an outside recording was added in. Which is exactly what it is but the goal is to make it sound like it was originally part of the mix. Overall I think you did a great job. |
|
| Demo for collab by albumflaps | 6 months ago |
| I'm gonna try and put something in. |
|
| Simple by albumflaps | 6 months ago |
| That was pretty cool Allan. Sounds like a piece written for a 12 String Guitar. I think you should add some additional tracks like a bass and another guitar. | |
| Take Me Away by Zombre | 6 months ago |
| I like the song overall and the mix sound's good to me. The solo break is right on. During the song I was focusing on the sound of everything and forgot to pay attention to the vocals to see what it was really about lyric wise. So, I'm listening again. |
|
| Bust it wide open (Thrash Jam) by fminorpenta | 6 months ago |
| Sounds good. You've got the muted gallop on the guitar down nicely. The break to the slow guitar is sweet! Totally unexpected. |
|
| Train Train by marshall2288 | 6 months ago |
| I grew up on this too. When I was 14 I was at a guitar shop jamming this tune and the store owner actually pointed out that I was playing Blackfoot. It was a killer moment in the history of my guitar playing even though I really sucked back then. You really took me back. |
|
| No Sugar Tonight/ New Mother Nature by marshall2288 | 6 months ago |
| Yea man! Great Vocals! I listened to the original in my truck today and now your are rocking it in my headset. Superb cover. |

| Moods (Six) - Revisiting Torment by albumflaps | 6 months ago |
| I got lost in this. I actually caught myself daydreaming at the end where it slows down. Very well done ... I like it a lot. Nothing wrong with the mix if you ask me. |
|
| Playing Chicken by Zombre | 7 months ago |
| I read your description completely before listening. When you said you had done everything basically in one pass I was expecting to hear a few foul notes and stuff. (What was I thinking???? This is ZOMBRE!!!) Everything sounds perfect. Totally incredible guitar playing. |

| Can man be a God? ( My tribute to Paul Gilbert) by albumflaps | 7 months ago |
| ""Maybe I should do these for just me!!!"" I agree 100%. If you can't entertain yourself with your music how can you expect anyone else to be entertained by your music. I think this is my favorite of the Bucket/PG/Satch collection. Great playing as always. |

|
| The Question by GregDavies | 7 months ago |
| Dude this really sounds great. Especially in the breaks where it gets funky. It's really good. I'd like to hear a version without the high hat intro though. I spent a little too much time focused on that when I should have been listening to the guitar work. I'm listening for the second time now. I'm fascinated with the quality of your recordings. Man the funky parts are sweet!!!!! |

| It does sound like surf music Farlow. I like it. Maybe Bruce Brown will hear it and use it in the next Endless Summer sequel. | |
| The Slave King by SiddP | 8 months ago |
| I think it's pretty good. Sure it needs some work but it sounds like a great rough draft. This will sound better every time your perform it. After a dozen or so times the vocals will start to clean up. Keep going man. | |

| Operation Liberation (Demo track) by albumflaps | 9 months ago |
| Is that your vocals man? The beginning is very cool and ambient. Makes a person want to lay back, close the eyes, and contemplate philosophy. Then when the big guitars kick in it's like chaos in the temple with the inhabitants scrambling. Sounds real good dude. A couple of winkers in there but it's great. Love it! Downloading Fo Sure! |
