Okidoki... Herewith my KVR Southport CD submission preview.

Bit of a Motown 70s B Movie flavour with some hard driving funk elements... Topaz demanded to play bass on this and Glooper is busy on the wah wah guitar.

Any comments people?

I like this stuff way too much. Maybe I was supposed to be a TV detective... or a porn star.

The bass line on this one makes the song for me, but all three of you, damn fine job.

Sounds pretty much like a C#7sus4.

@ griels: Thanks for the offer - will have a go at it.
Damn many chords in there...

Hehe, thanks Richie... We just need some Isaac Hayes style vocals to top it off now

And yes, big respect to Topaz.. Some great improvisations there on some very difficult chords.

Same for Glooper, well done for getting it in only three takes! Excellent stuff.

Cheers for helping out Sascha, can't wait to hear what you come up with.

Hi Sascha

do you have a semi accoustic ? this would sound sweet with some Eric Gale style solo at the end.

Greeels is the man......err no.

Hmm, rhythm guitar sounds a bit low to me, can't really hear it in the big string sections. Bit too much reverb all over too I reckon, other than that, nice job.

Hmm, could be... I already whacked down the reverb channel a fair bit.. Rhythm guitar, yes I agree... Want to get this as 'crisp' as I can.

Just a note to say I updated the link with a LAME codec encoded version instead of Fraunhofer... Sounds much clearer in my opinion.

Also I wanted an excuse to bump this thread up.

Can't remember the exact notes of the piano now, and I'm at work so can't check... But I can remember the shape of the chord I played!

Code: Select all

  E ------3---
  B ------1---
  G ------2---
  D ------1---
  A ------x---
  E ------x---

but slide up to ... err.. I think the 6th fret, but not sure... it's a diminished with a the high string up a fret,

I have no idea what it's called!...
