A few solos from my album ...

[TwilightOdyssey]

Hi guys, I thought I would post a couple of the solos that I tracked for my upcoming album. I just posted them to Soundclick, so they might take a little while to load. Not sure how Soundclick works, other than it crashes a lot.

NOTE: These are ROUGH MIXES ONLY. NO EQ, effects, etc. So, what you see is what you get, until the final mix is completed.

Anyway, feel free to post any questions you may have on them. They're still being tweaked, of course.

Enjoy!!

I know it's hard to see how the solos fit when they're taken out of context like that. Final mix is set for Jan 8-12, 2005. Looking at a March release, I think.

Great stuff Ben. Especially the last one..but as you say that may be because it's hard to put the solos by themselves in context, whereas the last piece is of some length.

Love your double tracks!

I did not mean it as a slam...I can't play like that, I liked it...the harmony parts were very cool!

Ah sounds classic and tasty...
Love the harmonies.

Nice. With a touch of delay it will be a killer. It reminds me a bit of the Iron Maiden guys I used to see when I was a teen.

"Classic" is the exact sound I'm going for!

Yeah, a bit of a boost at about 3k, some 'verb and delay, and then we'll be cookin' with gas!!
Thanx for the Maiden comment, as well ... they're my heroes! (no suprises there)

Re: A few solos from my album ...

ok.. finaly taking the time to listen

gos solo - tasty, old school harmonies, whats not to love

black flag intro - i can hear alexander the great a little bit in the guitar part

BF solo - i think you sent me this one before, but this time it sounds even better than before! twin harmonies YAY (i'm one of those suckers too hehe)

plaza #1 - it's diferent from the rough mix, but not that sucky type of diferent, great one

plaza #2 - a bit diferent use of effects than the rough mix, but apart of that it's the same, no suprises here and you know where i stand on the solo hehe

plaza #3 - hmm, the mix is a bit more intense and faster, but this one has a better selection of notes and a cooler progression if you ask me

you just added more fuel to the fire ben. i hate you (till the album comes out LOL)

keep it up (and keep me updated) =P

Thanx, Davey!
Your opinions are unique, since you've heard so many takes, trial solos, rough mixes, abandoned ideas, etc. I can honestly say you've heard more versions of the solos than Pam has!!

I totally agree about Plaza solo #3 -- to me, that's where it's at, esp going from that harmony line to the picking section at the end. The picking is straight up economy picking, but the left hand stretch is a biatch!!!

Oh, great! I was afraid of saying something wrong.....

Re: A few solos from my album ...

I have a couple more solos to post, but I'm out of room! I'll give it another day, and then I'll swap a couple out.
