Had a smoke, lay down and listened. This is smoother than the felt on a pool table! Excellent collaboration. I enjoyed it even though my tastes aren't geared towards the soul/jazz genre. Doesn't mean I can't appreciate the talent though.  |

| [quote="QuillPen"]A GOLD NOTE !!!!!............I just found out about the silver, and gold notes today, and what they stand for. Don't know if you've had one before, but Congratulations all the same. Quite impressive..... What's the gold note dude? I don't know of this! Hope it's a good thing! |

| Forlorn Without You by Fioretti | 14 days ago |
| I think some well deserved sympathetic percussion could make this great! Not that it was bad in any way buddy. I just felt something was missing. But sure, it's all subjective isn't it! Nice job on the old ivories though. |

| Requiem for a Dream Cover by JDVLZ | 14 days ago |
| Rather than biting at the critique you asked for, how about taking out the parts that were quite right and using them to better yourself as an artist and musician? Every single one of my guitar heroes has had their fair share of it and do they whine and complain? Nope, they take it, go practice and prove everyone wrong. The reason I said that is because I was like that. Many years ago. And it got me no help because not one single person wants to help or advise someone who isn't appreciative, understanding and has the temperament of a mutated pack-dog. Yeah, that's how bad I was. People have already made the points that I was going to make on this track, so it's up to you what you make of it. |

| Them Bones by stantyszka | 14 days ago |
| Too much fuzz/distortion on the guitar dude, but everything else ticks all the boxes! Nicely played man. |
|
| Perplexity by Nicklaus | 14 days ago |
| If Ministry employed Blotted Science to do the rhythm work, this would probably come out. Good job dude. | |
| Thrashtopia by THE_K_TEAM | 14 days ago |
 Agree with GuitariusMaximus! This wouldn't have been out of place on the Judgement Night soundtrack. Needs some shouty stuff and a few "Oi's!"  |
|
| Garys Song by firecircle2 | 14 days ago |
Actually he was an Ulsterman, like myself. Doesn't detract from the fact that yep, he rocked. And more importantly so does this! Great job. |

| Solomon's Song (EZMIX2 mix) by Tony2008 | 14 days ago |
This put me right on track for the rest of the day. Cheers Tony!! Epic tune. |

| This kicked me in the nuts! Plenty of attitude and rockin vox. What more can I say!? |

| They seem to be working fine to me! This has a nice blues/funk vibe bud, I dig it! |

| @SISTERS Many thanks Anne. I know this sort of track isn't everybody's cup of tea, but I'm sure glad that some people like it! Your comment and feedback was very much appreciated. @QuillPen Hi buddy! Hope the sabbatical was an enjoyable one. Hope life is being kind too. Thanks for the comment, as it gives me the kick up the hole I need to actually do this crap. Haha. @pharmakeus Chris, you're a diamond mate. You think the problems could be alleviated with a decent compressor plugin? I'll give it a shot and get off my arse and actually do some research to get to the root of the problems. I've had Abelton for ages now and still only know how to push the record buttons!  I'm glad you liked it too, and I'm never too busy to add anything to your projects when you need it. I'm a fan, what can I say! |
|
| Rain Falls by madego | 15 days ago |
Being a good Irish boy I can connect with the Edge-esque delay/echo. I think it makes even the simplest little riff stand out but it only works well when whomever does it knows what the hell they are doing. And you obviously do. Keep up the good work bud. It was a pleasure hearing this. |
|
| Hey Hey What Can I Do (Single B-Side Edition) by Tony2008 | 15 days ago |
Excellent dude! This reminds me of The Big Lebowski. Must watch that again! haha. Your voice sounds great on this. It's like Creedence with Robert Plant on vox! This is deffo on my faves for sure. |
|
| Acoustiflage by GuitariusMaximus | 15 days ago |
Always a pleasure to hear your tracks my friend. Always. This has Al Di Meola written all over it! Actually it has you written all over it, it just has some Meola touches and they stood out as I'm a fan of both Al, and yourself. This is going on my MP3 player for sure. |

| End Of Everything by albumflaps | 15 days ago |
| @GuitariusMaximus Cheers Scott, as always buddy. I think I've actually narrowed the problems to the PC's soundcard. Everything sounds great through my DAW and it is only on playback that to me it always sounds less clean, slightly muddy. My tone through the speakers/headphones sounds good, but when I record it sounds real dull. Little sustain, some latency and dull, dull, dull! It's severely off-putting when you know it sounds better before you listen back. Oh, and I must have hit iComp at rush hour. haha. No other explanation! Thank you dude. Thank you. |
|
| End Of Everything by albumflaps | 15 days ago |
| @Tony2008 Thanks buddy! I used one of my six-strings, Yamaha RGX I think but I set the whammy pedal 1 octave lower on the rock-back and went to town. I'm surprised the pickups handled the lower range ok as they usually don't cope as well. I think I'm just in a bit of a lull period or something, but I will work with what I got I guess. Cheers for the comment, it was really appreciated man. Thanks! | |
| End Of Everything by albumflaps | 15 days ago |
| @madego : Thank you buddy! It always makes me smile when someone hears something they like in what I do manage to get recorded. Cheers dude! |

| Jumbo? by SiddP | 27 days ago |
You're playing is a bazillion times better than when I first met you buddy. This is really good, and enjoyable! Well done my friend, very well done. |

| Like A Stone (Audioslave Cover) by albumflaps | 1 month ago |
| @sammydix Tamara mixed it dude, but it was all about her voice anyway. I'm thinking yes on the collab front. Tamara will be writing and singing and I'll be messing around to try and keep up! |
|
| Behind the Lines by jrahn | 1 month ago |
| It's building...........drums sound great as @Lagusaya2 noted. The electronic parts add to the intensity. Guitars started now......aww they stopped.. This has some wicked potential bro. I'd work more guitar into this if I was you and rock the crap out of it. It deserves it! |

| Like A Stone (Audioslave Cover) by albumflaps | 1 month ago |
| @pharmakeus I was hoping you still would! Male and female versions for the win. It could be a great contrast to hear how the same track can be taken a different way with different vocals. Not a problem if it ain't your bag dude. |
|
| The Fairy and the Devil (Buckethead Cover) by albumflaps | 1 month ago |
| @GuitariusMaximus: Thanks dude. There were very little in the way of parts of this online.Had to figure the damn thing out and just improv the rest. Sounds damn close (barre quality obviously) to the original. Buckets is a ***** to sort out just from listening, man. @sammydix. Cheers amigo! Buckets does the same to me. If it worked for you dude then I'm more than happy with what I figured out of this to wing it and post. More than happy. |

| April Showers by albumflaps | 1 month ago |
| @ihussain Thanks amigo! Yeah, I didn't know how to end it, so I sort of didn't...lol. Will try and fix that up for the final go at getting things right. Cheers buddy! |
|
| Been a while, huh!? by albumflaps | 1 month ago |
| I really appreciate all the input, I do. Many thanks to you all for the comments on my insanity! Oh, my email address is albumflaps@hotmail.co.uk Kevin (@telecaster29), I'd like to hear what you did buddy! |
|
| Lonlier Than That by sammydix | 1 month ago |
I'm impressed. Very well done my amigo. I think the bongo needs to be a little more prominent to carry the Latin feel (only certain hits/frequencies carry through to me) but that's all I got buddy. It sounds great! |
|
| For Tamara by albumflaps | 1 month ago |
| [quote="sammydix"]"only loops" what's up with that? where's your guitar? must be an error because i can hear you in there. how soon before the full version?Sorry dude, there are NO loops in there. My bad! Full version won't be long. |
|
| Sunlit Moon by 9volt_tongue | 1 month ago |
| I dig it dude. Very cool. Think it needs a Bucketheadish guitar rhythm to kick it out a bit, rock it some more. But overall I can totally get into this! | |

| @carlajpatterson Hi Carla! Been a while, hope life is being kind to you and yours. Anytime my dearest, just you ask and I'll do it. You're a star. @Little_Hooligan, hehe, many thankies!!! @Jayesskerr, Hi buddy, it's not great, but I'm trying so maybe someday I'll get there, where I want to be. @sammydix, Future vocals? Future collab on all fronts my man! Thats what the doctor ordered, as I do admire your work. Oh, and you'd be mixing, I'm terrible at that sort of thing. In reality I keep hearing to "just play your damn guitar, Allan" as Geo used to message me to say. |

| NICE by sammydix | 9 months ago |
NICE!!!!! No, really. You know I'm a fan. Makes me wanna roll and relax............ |
|
| Turbo Destructo by THE_K_TEAM | 9 months ago |
| I like the feel, its punchy and the rhythm parts fit nicely. I have lead sounds in my head so will jam along here! It does need a big sweeping solo though, as the harmony solo sits good, but doesn't kick you in the face like the rest of the track. Consider it if you go back to this. |
|
| 4 ever walking by Xolv | 9 months ago |
| Is it Teenage Fanclub? Has a very similar feel, while still being mostly you. Anyhoo, nicely done my friend, a nice trippy feel and I enjoyed the sound and tone on your playing. Great work. |
|
| The Apocalypse (Backing Track/Open Collab) by albumflaps | 9 months ago |
| @telecaster29 Have fun Kev, isn't that whats its all supposed to be about? I'm interested to see what comes back to me on this one from anyone who does it. Should get some inspiration from the feedback. |
|
| The Apocalypse (Backing Track/Open Collab) by albumflaps | 9 months ago |
| Its not loops my friend! Thats a Jim Dooley drum track. I realized that I put only loops as opposed to NO loops. My bad. I can be such a doofus. |

| Watching Teardrops by albumflaps | 11 months ago |
| @becwil Thanks becs! I'm still struggling with programming, even after all this time with Beatcraft and Addictive Drums etc......I try to get something that gives a flavour, but hides my complete inadequacy with the software. Hence more sparse feelings in the rhythm section. Same can be said for my bass playing too I might add. I sort of bodge my way with it. Thank you for the listen, and the helpful words too. |
|
| Watching Teardrops by albumflaps | 11 months ago |
| @Jayesskerr Thanks Scott, glad you liked it. Man, a stroke eh? ****! I seriously hope all is well again, as you know I'm a fan of your playing. And your health too obviously. @mxiarhos, Many thanks buddy. I'm not really a mixing kinda guy, I just play, record and push buttons until it sounds reasonable and pop it on. I'd rather hear a great player with terrible mixing than a terrible player with a good mix. I'm an ideas man. I like trying new things but solely with my instrument, not a computer. I guess I'm old school, as well as just old. haha. Cheers amigo. |

| A little Blessing by Alien8ed | 1 year ago |
| I hope and pray Billy. Love can be fickle, but powerful too. It can make you happy, or make you cry. I hope it was the former and not the latter. You rock bro. |

| I AM WHO I AM by Alien8ed | 1 year ago |
| Still loving what you did to this. Fancy adding your great Vox to something different? Pm me bud. |

|
| Night of the Vampires (v,2) by KimonF | 1 year ago |
| I like the feel of it, and the time sig on the main riff. Definitely a step in the right direction with this version. |
|
| No Regrets (The Karma Loop) by albumflaps | 1 year ago |
| Thankies my matey. I wish I knew someone adept enough with keys to do that initial bit as an orchestral sound with more realistic sounding female vox as I suck at doing loops and things like that. Ah well, it wasnt meant to be great, just an idea.... |
|
| Jingle Bollocks by albumflaps | 1 year ago |
| Thankies amigo's!!! Hey Kev, what the hell are you doing up? hahaha. Happy Chrimbo to you and have a great one, that goes for both of you. |
|
| White Metal by sammydix | 1 year ago |
Dammit man, this is freakin freaky and freakin RAWK!!!! You have a gift bro, and use it well. The git-fiddle rocks, the vox are bangin, and the mix is spot on. Faults? I dunno, I'll try and find some, but I don't want to!!! |
|
| No Name by albumflaps | 1 year ago |
| @ Brandon. Cheers bro! Yeah I noticed that, I'll be tweaking so that 5 second screw up will be fixed. It wasnt hardware error, it was human. Happy holidays my friend. Hope you and the fam have a great one. @solongsecrets. Many thanks bud, you make a mean track, checked some out and your a talented guy. Enjoy your Christmas. @Little_Hooligan You rock sis! Thank you so much for listening to all this madness. Happy Christmas to you and yours. @randolf. I missed ya bud, had to come back and annoy you in sonic form. I hope life is being kind amigo and merry Chrimbolicious time!! |
|
| No Name by albumflaps | 1 year ago |
| Im not sure? I'll have to find out whats going on. Everyone seems to be dropping out of things like flies. Weird indeed! Oh! Thankies bud, I appreciate your kind words as always. Hope your good self and the family have a great Christmas and the New Year treats you all well. |

| Awaken by Fioretti | 1 year ago |
| Havent been around much dude, but thank you for letting me hear this. I dig your playing! And as Zombre said, the mellow intro part has some weird dissonance, but hell do you make it up! Nice track dude, keep on plugging!!! | |
| Circles by Fioretti | 2 years ago |
| Dude I'm sure you grabbed the timing issues, but oddly enough I just hear the playing, which is bang on, and then some, rock the **** on dude... | |

There are not enough stars to give! Thankfully you are one Carla, and you shine brightly. Many, many thanks for this, and its the kick up the arse I needed to start recording again. |
|
| Cold Soul II by sammydix | 2 years ago |
| As a guitar player I focus on that and the lyrics, so I cant comment on the mix, to me it sounded great. I would have added some delay on your vox for the spoken part to really punch it home and double it up a bit, but hey what the hell do I know?? A few guitar fills and hey presto, instant fave, but it still is no matter what bud, its a great tune. | |
| Tell Me by sammydix | 2 years ago |
| You have a knack for making some absolutely hummable songs bud, I love this. | |
| PART OF THIS WORLD by KCsGROOVE | 2 years ago |

Ach feck.......c'mon mods, can we not make this PC friendly too?? All that time and I cant even watch it myself either.  |
|
| New World Disorder (Video) by albumflaps | 2 years ago |
| Thanks a million folks. I have been having problems non-stop with iComp since the media players updated. I tried Chrome/Firefox and MSN but it works on nothing? As long as the video and music are on there than I can relax a little, thanks for letting me know I really appreciate it.KC, a very kind German fellow named Stefan Walke done the 3D, I just added a few things and done the editing and music etc. Turned out ok I thought!! |
|

| SYMPHONY OF DESTRUCTION by JAM | 2 years ago |
| Checked it amigo, says the link is broken. Dammit I was all geared up for some Megadeth cover awesomeness!! haha!!! | |
| SYMPHONY OF DESTRUCTION by JAM | 2 years ago |
| Grand job, can I ask, apart from the vox what else did you perform on this one? I think the backing needs cranked up a notch to get the heavy end of Megadeth's stuff as its kinda vox focused in the mix, but you did a great take. One of my favourite Megadeth songs. Well besides every single track on Rust In Peace that is. |
|
| one axe/six strings by morfadrena | 2 years ago |
| Gianluca, You are playing guitar with great feeling now. Dont hold back, keep pushing my friend. I enjoyed this, because I know your heart was poured into it. |
|
| TIDES OF CHANGE by KCsGROOVE | 2 years ago |
| As relaxing as a day in bed with some Diazepam and the doors locked. Sweet track amigo. Cool as a fridge in an Igloo. |
|
| JTC & FDM Spaghetti Noodles by JTC | 2 years ago |
I'm rating it now, not for what we played, but because it was the first track I ever did that felt so damn good. I think this needs a few little fills, but the simplicity of it makes me think that the less is more approach works. Thanks Jeff, I owe you bud. |
|
| Yes I Am by Fredriksen | 2 years ago |
| Blues undertones, but with a little fusion input. Genres are for those that want to pigeon-hole music. This is what it is, a great guitar track. Nicely played, great feeling, and an assault on the senses. Nice one amigo. Instant favourite. |
|
| Don't Know by sammydix | 2 years ago |
| When I'm worse for wear on the old Guinness I cant even form a coherent sentence never mind a whole song. Being Irish means this is rather often. Nice track, very melancholy. |
|
| East of China by sammydix | 2 years ago |
| Sometimes its best not to think too much, just plug in and shoot for the feeling. Man I really dig your work. This is just another example of why. |
|
| The Game by sallan | 2 years ago |
| I hear sallan....... Hey sallan that Neil Young dude sounds a lot like you!!! Get your lawyer ready in case he does it again bud, or we'll call over and go Crazy Horse on his ***..... |
|
| Modern Love - Bowie cover by ScottStoked | 2 years ago |
| I had a blast.. At first I thought you'd gone a bit Chicken Oriental (mental) for approaching the track in this way, but now its all put together it rocks. I think you all did a great job on your parts, and I'm glad Scott was mad enough to ask me for a little something to add to it. Crazy track, but then I'm not sane either so it suits me just fine.. |
|
| Province of Knowledge New Cut by JTC | 2 years ago |
| Personally I like this take too. Its the perfect example of less is more. Solo sits in nicely without overdoing it too. Very well played and constructed piece amigo, one to be proud of. |
|
| Serenade XXXVI by Narananda | 2 years ago |
| Sweet piece amigo, its a relaxing vibe, with fire and ice undertones. I'm gonna jam with this on my git-fiddle. Thanks for the inspiration. |
|
| Always In My Heart by Fredriksen | 2 years ago |
| Another favourite amigo...nice ambient intro, heart felt guitar, nice progressions. All in all a sweet track. Well executed, no mess or fuss. What else can I say, I dig it!!!! |
|
| Province of Knowledge by JTC | 2 years ago |
| If I could play this cleanly, I'd be a millionaire jamming with Guthrie Govan. Sweet playing bud. |
|
| Isn't This America by SCJohnson59 | 2 years ago |
| Unfortunately the 'Haves' will always stomp the face of the 'Have nots'. Its why they have in the first place. Feeding off the ones that want something a little bit better in life. On to the music before I get off on a rant... I dig the tune, really nice progressive style keys and flow. I'm gonna download and jam some guitar over this at home for practice. Nice sound, real YES meets Dream Theater sort of feel. With a bit of Genesis thrown in. |
