Bro, I've got this BAAAAD feeling I'm gonna make you regret those words!!!

Seriously, here we go; did you record this from your sequencer or play it live on a midi keyboard or do you use one of those midi guitars? My biggest question is if you in fact wrote all of the guitar parts in a sequencer; which DAW are you using, what BPM did you write it at, and what size/how long did you draw/make your notes in your sequencer? (whoops, thats 3 questions!)

I'm a 'analog' guitar player since I was 13, I've aquired my share of skills and chops over the decades, but there is just no way I am capable of, nor really want to commit the time learning how to play a midi keyboard like an actual guitar. I was wondering if you do play live into your DAW if you've ever used one of the midi guitars that have recently appeared. (Aren't they also called 'k-tars'?)

Any help for an aging rocker would be much appreciated and help immeasurably. :)

I wrote all these guitar parts in the sequencer, by playing notes in my midi keyboard to identify notes that I liked, then laying them out manually by hand.

I'm using FL Studio 12.

130 BPM.

I've never used a keytar, but I have done some live recording of guitar parts using my midi keyboard, but never without eventually editing what I recorded. I'm not a good enough pianist to perfectly play just about anything. Sorry I took so long to answer, I forgot to come back and see if anyone actually responded. Glad you like the track!
