    Nuclear Blues

    https://soundclick.com/share.cfm?id=13881946

    A blues song.

    If you don't like 12 bar blues, dominant 7th chords, a shuffle feel, or pentatonic riffs.

    ****.


    OK, maybe not blues. With a post apocalyptic blues feel? Or at least too much reverb? And a big muff?

    :P

    Impressive. More fusion than blues maybe. In certain aspects it reminds me of the Doors.

      Re: Nuclear Blues

      Thanks!


      It took me way too long to figure out a lead to play over this progression. This is the third iteration of the tune . . . there were failed jazzier and metal versions.




      I'm debating now if I've mixed the lead parts in too high. Sigh. Is it just me, or is it really hard to work with higher gain guitar sounds?

        Didn't sound mixed wrong to me. I don't find high gain stuff hard to work with, rather the opposite. I think that it's much harder to get a good recording of clean sounds, especially with lots of dynamics.

          Might just be what you're used to. I actually find the higher gain stuff is more difficult . . . always running into weird string noise, or tiny bits of extra noise that are would't even make a sound if you were playing clean.

            wow that was different. Polyphonic stuff! I kind of liked that.
            I don't think the leads are too strong.

              I dig the lead stuff a lot -nice work.

              The basic track gave me an ear worm for another song -but I won't ever tell you because you won't be able to un hear it

                . . . but now you have to tell me what the other song is or it'll drive me crazy. Did I rip someone else off by accident?

                  Different but listenable was sort of the goal. I tried to work the leads so that they were hitting notes that make you feel uncomfortable and not quite right, but then resolve to something familiar/correct so at the end you're like "Oh, he must have meant to make that mistake". :P

                    Not at all, you can't rip off a few descending chords in a row in my opinion.

                    and I'm certain you aren't thinking of this song ....ever

                    plus the music doesn't match exactly, -just the famous lead vocal fits on top perfectly.

                    So if you song ever goes viral or top 40 -I'll be ready with a mash up!

                              Thanks! I like the sound of fuzz, but have trouble getting it sounding right when recording . . . it's always too mid-scooped, too bassy, or too piercing.
