I liked the 'sitar' sound in the lead, but the electronic toms didn't really fit in there; although the bass drum sounded in place .... overall it was quite good, though ...

Re: Video of my song and Phill's cover of it (5 replies, posted in Songwriting)
That was really great!! I must admit I generally 'skim' the written part of the songwriters part, so vaguely remember the post ... and I can't watch videos when I'm at work, so I'll have to go back and find it.

Re: Using Carnauba (Car) Wax To Polish....... (28 replies, posted in Guitars and accessories)

Neo I do not think it is the same. The Fender Polish is not combustible and the polish you are using is marked as Combustible which means it is not made in the same factory. By the way finder also sells a microfiber cloth for their polish. The polish you listed most likely has linseed oil if it is supposed to be mixed before it is used.
True - I didn't notice that ... I'll have to have a look on the bottle to see what it consists of; I bought it from the John Mann shop to increase my purchase to get free postage (if I remember correctly), as postage to Australia from the USA seems to have grown dramatically over the last few years ....

That's really well done, Neo ... you've got a great flowing guitar style and really good voice. For what it's worth, you probably didn't need as much reverb on the vocals. I loved your "No whistling" comment ... good stuff, buddy!
Thank you.
I'm using a single mic to pick everything up, so the reverb for the guitar is also the reverb for the vocals. Sometimes I get a good balance and sometimes not ... still experimenting

Re: Fade to grey (cover) (2 replies, posted in My local band and me)
Thanks - it's interesting to strip down the "synth pop" songs of the 80's and see how they hold up; unfortunately I can't do the french vocal bits, as it was kind of the highlight of the song ....
But glad you liked it!!
