Description

Hey all,
I just posted this the other day and Len noticed some hot levels, not surprising, lol
anyway, when I was fixing the problem, I noticed a lack of "body" and "direction" to the solo and wanted to beef it up more, so I tried a couple different approaches and couldn't come up with anything, then I decided to try the old "record two identical tracks" approach and it was closer to what I was looking for. So this is solo take three and hopefully the levels are not too hot. I hope you like it and feel free to comment on anything. Thanks again Len for the heads up. I appreciate it.

Chris

SIDE NOTE: This is one of my tunes off of my 1st CD. I re-recorded it because of a little case of the winter blues and because I've been in a little writing slump as of lately. Anyway, I'm feeling better and hope to have something new soon.

Thanks again for the support MacJammers!

	Thanks Kevin. I'm glad you liked it. It was fun to re-record this one after so many years. Actually, by doing this, it helped me come up with some new ideas to mess with, so I believe it helped my writing slump, I guess only time will tell. Thanks again for stopping in. I appreciate it.

	Freeze your mind. I would rather thaw out my mind. Well, it just sounds great, man. Full, rich production. Amazing guitar work, which goes without saying on a PQR track. Impressive as all hell. Great picture, too. Check out my latest song called Examination Dream

Thanks Reggie.
I had HUGE problems trying to complete my first CD because of "friend/partner/singer" problems. Actually, I wasn't even invited to the final mix of my own material, so the mix turned out like pure crap, so in short, I told myself that if I ever get in a slump, that I could always re-record some of the tunes off of that CD and give them the facelift they deserve. Anyway..lol..

I'm glad you were able to enjoy the revamp.

Thanks again.

Note: Thats a pic from my last live performance in 2004, Needed a frickin' hair cut! lol

very nice
i loved the melodic stuff especially. tasty, and well placed. from a production standpoint, i thought it was all ok level-wise, but it lacked a big overall tone. you know? it was all kind of murky. and it was not a bad murky, but kind of an older recording murky. solo wise, i liked that you used less echo than on other recordings. i could hear your playing much more clearly and was pleased. as usual, solo wise, it is a shame you are not making serious money with your talents. great song, great effort, masterful composing.

Thanks Allen
I know what ya mean. It's just the GB file at a 16bit resolution. I didn't use the 24bit of my Pro Tools process. Actually I'm leaning forward to not using PT at all and just upgrade my system so I can record in GB in 24bit resolution. I like to use GB over PT because it's more of a user friendly environment. Thanks for the props on the money thing. Maybe some day.

Thanks again bro.

	this reminds me of a lot of the music I listened to a few years back. Almost has a Suicidal Tendencies flavor to it. I's love for you to add some guitar or a solo to one of my songs someday. Keep up the good work Chris. Check out my latest song called Wake Up

	Nukes for the brain Damn! My "tugboat" productions can't hold water against your nuclear ice-breakers, Chris. Whereas chops stopped growing in the 70s, it looks like you ain't stopped yet. Gotta get more familiar with your fine frettage. Check out my latest song called Yours and Mine

	Wow!! Thanks Char! I'm glad you enjoyed it. You do know I HAVE lyrics for this one AND I would LOVE to have some vox on this....male OR female..it dosen't matter, but i think a woman's voice would give the message more feeling...anyway... Would you like to give this a shot? I would like to see what the outcome is. Check out my latest song called Open Collab 2

	Thanks King. I appreciate the comment. If you think that you would like me to play on something...send me a note.
