"Watch the tempo.."

submission: Iron Man Acoustic

date: 16 hours ago

First of all, you're out of tune. You are also off tempo throughout the whole thing, and you're skipping notes, and hitting bad notes. You should also acquire a better understanding of theory so you can turn this song around and make it fitting for an acoustic guitar, like hitting barre chords and using open b and e strings on the E chords, something with a little more natural rhythm with your right hand, so it feels better and sounds better, etc. Rather than just playing the original electric guitar version on an acoustic with stiff notes and poor timing.

Keep practicing though!

Score: 10

"Awesome!"

submission: Arpegio Study no 2

I think the "James Bond" sound comes from how the progression is laid out, how it ascends 3 times, then descends on the last chord.

Sweet freakin' work, again! The synth is a nice addition. The rhythm tone does sound muddy without any drums or other instruments to back it, but I love the midtones of the lead tone a bunch.

Keep it up dude!

"Sweet medley!"

"Awesome song!"

submission: Final Moment (Alex Sandford)

date: July 22, 2008

The vocals were done well, props to Alex, the production was awesome, and melodies are solid and performed well.

Work on the soloing a bit though if you're gonna go fast :D

I think a slower solo with a few well placed legato segments and a few more integrated slides and richer midtones would add a lot more to the song.

Good work!

Score: 10

"Well composed :D"

"Ah, so my other review was deleted."

submission: YYZ Cover

date: July 1, 2008

I'll review this fairly then. Great production.

Studio quality, and it sounds exactly like Neil Peart's drum kit. All of his drum solos and fills are spot on, including his unique sounds on the kit that he implements. You must've used the same mics to mic up the drumkit that Rush's YYZ studio track had. I know that's a real drumkit too.

The bass solos are terrific too, you matched Geddy Lee's chorus-y tone perfect as well. Did you manage to find all of the mics that Rush used to record with back in the day? It sounds just like the authentic recording! Those bass solos aren't easy to pull off, not sure a lot of people could do em as clean and accurate as Lee himself. Hell, the entire song is difficult on bass. You must've also used Geddy's same keyboard model for the interlude, awesome work!

Alex Lifeson's tone is perfected as well, did you ask them all about their amps and EQ settings they used back then? How much drive and treble they used etc.? Alex's part sounds spot on, hell, you even bent the solo slightly out of tune exactly like the original recording! Great job man.

I'm sure all three of these musical gods would just love to congratulate you. Dirty thief. I know how to appreciate talent, but it takes no talent to claim a song you didn't perform. It's not a cover, it's the original damned recording. I suppose you're going to get all of your friends to vote this review abusive daily, to get it deleted again, eh?
