Very nice sound, guitar playing excellent! Without the lyrics visible, I can't say much about them, but they sound good with the music. Vocals are good, a little pitchy in places but nothing way out. One rhyme stood out heart/apart, one of those overused rhymes that maybe could be changed. Really enjoyed the listen!

Byron,

Liked the guitar, not so crazy about the slapback on the vocals. I'd consider replacing that with a two or three voice harmony line that comes and goes in the same fashion. Might make the tune sound a little warmer overall, which in turn accentuates the subject matter.

Thanks,

Thanx for the feed back
really easy to do the guitar when you do it one track at a time but hard to play and sing at the same time since it is off beat with the vocal...and yeah i really do need to work on my vocals don't practice near enough like i used to.
thanx again and God bless Bob
Byron

Frank,
I used the midtones following on the vocal for an experiment...I had never used it before and thought it would be novel and that is what it was just novel thanx for being candid and some of my friends at home have said the same thing...that i should use some harmony in place of it...
thanx again
Byron

No problem, I liked the tune and am glad you could use my feedback.

Sounds good man

Byron: This has an infectious groove, but from what I hear of the words, you need to find some original ideas/rhymes..as mentioned heart/apart and I add love/glove taken/mistaken etc. You might try collaborating with someone on the lyric board whose words you admire. /Glen

Love the guitar work here. I think it deserves some bigger lyrics, like "southern man" or , what am I trying to say here, a theme..

You are so right Glen. What I fall into is the fact that I come up with the tune first alot of times then write around the tune with what ever I am feeling at the time...sometimes i hit sometimes I miss

Byron

Louis,
this seems to be the general consenus of most that listen to this song. That's what happens when you write a song around a tune in about 20 min
Byron

Byron,
I really like the guitar groove and melody. It's a good song. For some reason this comment comes to mind... "I can hear this as a filler song on a CD" Please take that as a compliment as that is the intention.

ps. i can relate to singing and playing at the same time. not only is it hard doing, but it's hard to find that balance.


Dave

Dave,
Filler or not I enjoy all comments good or bad because I'm am here to learn and get better and all comments are coming from people I consider my peers because they are here because they like myself love music and make it a big part of their life as yourself. Personally i do take this as a compliment and my thanx to you

Byron

Byron,
Ok, got it, listening now.
I found the song on your MySpace site
Byron Mathis
http://www.myspace.com/byronmathis
but not on your "diskfaktoryjams.com" site.

Anyway, sounds great, nice groove; I like the tempo of this.
Might want to post the lyrics at the topic on your song post for this.

Talkin' About Love - cool tune!

Michael

thanx Micheal
I am wondering if some people are running into troubles at the diskfaktory site I may have to look into this ... thank you for the kind words and I am going to check out your site

Byron

got it back on the top of the list at diskfaktory

You got a cool vocal on this tune.The guitar sounds so clean,a good mix too!

thanx Micheal
the cleaness of the guitar has to do with the way it was recorded. I used an NKT RODE'tube mic and an NXT 2000 RODE large Diamphram condenser mic that is built for studio use... the tube mic was pointed at the fret board where it joins the body and the condenser the width of your face back towards the back saddle. the tube was panned right and the condenser panned left. This gives a realistic stereo effect just as if you were sitting in front of the person while he or she playes...both mics were at a flat E.Q. .I did the same with the vocals. Just ast your ears are apart on you head so were the mics set up in front of me and again both panned to their respective side if you were looking at the person from the mics point of view. This type of stereo imagry although subtle makes a big difference in the end result.
The guitar used was a 00CXAE Grand Concert by MARTIN.What is odd about this little animal is that it is made out of composite materials except for the neck which is laminated wood and of course the bracing and perlings in side are standard spruce and to top it off it is a "thinline Guitar " only about half as deep as a d-18. It also packs a on board fishman 5 band eq and saddle pick up which sounds great but I did not use it. What you heard was ambient only..

Byron

This is another nice acoustic guitar tune! Your style sounds a bit like Stephen Still on this (one of my favorites) - wish I could play that style. I'm looking forward to hearing lots more.

Clint

Thanx Clint

I fell in love with the Acoustic when I first started listening to Chet Atkins when I was 9 years old and heard him play a song called Yankee Doodle Dixie one which he played yankee doodle on the bass strings while he played dixie on the high ones at the same time. It took me about 6 months to learn it when i was in my twenties and people are amazed when they hear it. It taught me how to rethink the way I play

Byron

Hi Byron

I really like the sound of the acoustic... Nice feel, it reminds me of a hard rock kind of song. Nice job all around the timing was a little a drift as well as pitch.
But the timing more so...

feels honest & heartfelt
good work!

Thanx Mike,
I did not use a click track...I thought I would let it "breath" as for the Pitch...that's me... on some days off the next...this was one of those off days and I had only enough time for 1 take...I really appreciate your candid feed back
