capecodsound Joined: Dec 23, 2011 Posts: 6 Traverse City	Posted on Jan 28 2012 12:34 PM I've been working on the opening song to my album alot lately. Casino Royale ('37). its got a james bondy/ alien invasion sort of riff and lyrically it personifies a slot machine as a woman. I have writers block pretty often so lately i've just been working on the structure Top

Nokie Joined: Oct 06, 2008 Posts: 550 So Cal	Posted on Apr 07 2012 05:57 PM I worked out a kinda bluegrass solo arrangement of "Stairway to Heaven" on my spiffy new Gretsch 6122 12-string. I played it through the Quilter MicroPro 200. That amp gives the Gretsch a great sound. -Marty — "Hello Girls!" Last edited: Apr 07, 2012 17:58:20 Top

RobbieReverb Joined: Feb 28, 2006 Posts: 2364 San Jose, Ca.	Posted on Apr 09 2012 08:43 PM Awesome playing, and awesome tone from both the cool guitar, and the Quilter amp. Nicely done!!! — Bob Top
Nokie Joined: Oct 06, 2008 Posts: 550 So Cal	Posted on Apr 12 2012 07:18 PM Thanks Robbie. That Quilter Amp continues to amaze me. Another feature that I don't see Quilter heralding in their literature is that it is a full range amp and therefore excels as an acoustic guitar amp as well. -Marty — "Hello Girls!"

DannySnyder Joined: Mar 02, 2006 Posts: 11058 Berkeley, CA	Posted on Apr 12 2012 08:53 PM I just had a chance to borrow a Rick 12 stringer. I strung it up with flats which really tames those super clangy highs. Marty, try this if you haven't already. On your quilter put the gain real high and then put the limiter on full. It acts as a compressor and really brings out some great character on the 12. Great playing by the way!!! — Danny Snyder "With great reverb comes great responsibility" - Uncle Leo Playing keys and guitar with Combo Tezeta Formerly a guitarist in The TomorrowMen and Meshugga Beach Party Latest surf project - Now That's What I Call SURF Top

togergo Joined: Jan 23, 2012 Posts: 282 Budapest	Posted on Apr 24 2012 12:44 AM Hi guys, after I left my band, and take a break (my son was born 3months ago) I started to play my instrumental guitar songs again (I dont write surf, because theres no really surf mood in these). For the first time, I collect every usable stuff, to see, what i have (unfinished songs, old forgotten melodies, everything - what I think - good. I uploaded theme to my soundcloud (1-3 home-alone, 4-6 with my old band), opinions are welcome! important: there arent good songs there - i mean: i love my songs, but i hate the tracks, the sound of the guitar, my playing, the mix... so, if you want to say something, dont be polite my Soundcloud you can here, sometimes i leave the 'well known surfmusic playground' experimenting, trying new stuff, rhythm changes/modulations etc, and im a little bit confused about these, sometimes i feel 'oh, thats the best music on the earth!!' sometimes: 'its a piece of ...', anyway: I'm curious: what are you thinking about theme? thanks! ps: if its [off topic], im sorry — original compositions (low-level demo stuff /out of tune, etc) myStuff not my best, but i don't like to be in a musician community without anything to show Last edited: Apr 24, 2012 00:45:47 Top
