Please let me know what you think, any comments and criticisms and whatever. Morti plays: A Fleetwood classical guitar he found in his attic once, Roland D-50 synth keyboard, Crafter Cruiser jazz bass guitar, Yamaha RGX-121s electric guitar, Yamaha PSR-2000 synth keyboard. Drum loop made with Fruity Loops. Recorded with Cool Edit Pro 2. Hope you like the music. -------------- The ear worm became the synonym for the commercial side of MIKE OLDFIELD. Back to top

Artists thrive on feedback, y'know. -------------- The ear worm became the synonym for the commercial side of MIKE OLDFIELD. Back to top

My overall impression is that the piece has two problems: the timing of some parts, and some incorrect notes here and there. For example, it's quite noticeable that some chords in the part starting at 2:04 aren't correct, and to me it seems as if when playing the guitar starting at 3:37 you were in a hurry. Also, the part starting at 4:17 sounds quite strange to me. At first I found the first bass part wrong, but now I just find it different from the original, but not bad. It's a nice cover though, but I feel it could be much better without those problems. Again, I'm not a musician, so I can be writing nosense. Back to top

Morti Group: Members Posts: 103 Joined: April 2006 Posted: Nov. 24 2006, 20:58 That's excellent, thanks. For the chords they seem to kinda work but my ears aren't great for this sort of thing. I need to figure out what's right really. The timing of the guitar at 3:37 is pain to get right as well but I'm working on it. Not sure how to make the 4:17 bit not weird. This is something I want to work on, be nice to get it "spot on" (although different from the original still), so I'm really wanting people to say what they notice being wrong about it regardless of whether or not they're musically minded. So thanks, really appreciate the comments. -------------- The ear worm became the synonym for the commercial side of MIKE OLDFIELD. Back to top

I agree it's difficult to record some notes from an acoustic guitar and have it sound right and clean, may be you could try to add some effect on the playing : one does not hear distinctively the alternatively played bass notes at 2:09 : it's obviously not the right notes at 3:33 : there is some strange (unintended ?) noise (check the quality of the recording) the solo at 3:41 is not in time with the rest the transition at 04:13 is strange and the following classical guitar notes seem out of scale (maybe you should try other chords to jump back to the main theme) and as a result do not fill out their job of providing a transition to the main tune (same notes on a constant ryhtm) Back to top
