Hot damn that was awesome @ibmorjamn! too bad you didn't keep some of the gallop and natural sfx but still!
Cool Drums, cool bass, cool everything! Great rhythm guitar tone and feel especially, very chimey, vox/gretsch?

I love how The Dusty Trail got different and moodier in three key places
- when you actually enter the town - am I hearing a bit of a riff by the Animals or some 60's group there? And then the
tribal drums just before you head down main street feel kind of dramatic - like stuff is about to happen
- just after the duel towards the little valley pass, tribal drums again - and on the way down the into river valley,
it gets a even darker and the drums get super busy lot of ghosty snare 16ths, then the same on highhats,
and the kick just pounds away relentlessly
- then as you near the point where he fords the river you go all western jazz oddyssey on it, again more with the busy
drums, and the insistent leads

I don't know exactly how classic Spaghetti western it sounds, but it's it's very own thing, and works nicely in many parts.
Didn't hear any sound fx but you got it in, and edited it yourself and it held me right to the end

FIVE Points!

Right on and well said. I loved the bass throughout and especially the guitar melody when he left town and headed towards the river. Great way to end the video

Thank you , you described it better than I could. And very complimentary.

I guess it didn't come out western but a different than normal flavor. The drums are what influence the whole design.
I kind of cringed when I decide not to put the gallop in. I kind of felt it might not fit the intro music. I had the whole audio at first before mixing.

My goal was to paint a picture and try to keep it interesting with out relying heavily on Barre chords.
Thanks for the positive review.
 
i had the video looping while i was jammin tonight, fun stuff. You seen how they score feature films with the musician(s)
in a studio with a big screen in front of them, that would be a super fun job if a person had the talent and skills to conjure
decent stuff up on the fly. It's a bit of a rush when things work, and I can sort of feel how they get in a creative flow

But man-o-man I'd burn off the whole movie budget in short order - took me it took a LOT of passes.
I think I now at least have an idea of where I'm going with the chords, the mood and the pacing.

The amp is a PRS Dallas 50w model.
It can get more gain.
" Paul Reed Smith (PRS) Dallas 50W amp head is an all-tube amp that produces clean to moderately overdriven tones. It uses 12AX7 preamp tubes and 6L6 power tubes, and has onboard reverb. Some say the Dallas 50W amp head produces a classic American sound with big, dimensional tones"
I have some screen shots of EZ drummer set up.
I haven’t had much time since Sunday.

Great job.
I am going to give this another listen on my commute to work today.
Again. Great job!

I’m working on mine and you just made what I’m doing look like :poo:

My ghostbusters cover is just about done, I’m just dreading doing the vocals. Hopefully I wrap it up in time to post it shortly after your western submission :celebrate2:
