Tone is hard to discern when mixed and under the influence of effects but here is a sample of my original Yellow #1 on a demo for a relatively new song. My band is Clear Cut. This demo is me on everything except the lead vocal (I am singing the high harmonies though). Singer is Mark MacAbee. The drums are obviously MIDI at this point. Acoustic is my Martin 000-28EC. The amp was a Johnson Millenium with a Hot-Rodded Marshall setting that I modified. Mics included a mix of a close miced Sure 57 and a Rode NT-1A Room mic about 7 feet away. The song is about an ex who won't stop coming back.

Lyrics:

If You Won't Say Goodbye
By Jason Z. Schroeder w/ Additional Lyrics by Mark MacAbee

I thought you forgot me
And let me believe
The well ran dry
No reason why

I caught you staring
But you just looked away
When we locked eyes
No reason why

But you smoothed out my rough edges
ëCause Iíve been torn
And I talked you down from ledges
That others put you on

So how can the sun go down
If you wonít say goodbye
How can the sun go down
If you wonít say goodbye

And now Iím standing
Upon the edge
Of where my demons lie
No reason why

And truth is heaven sent
When all your thoughts
Have told you lies
No reason why

But you smoothed out my rough edges
ëCause Iíve been torn
And I talked you down from ledges
That others put you on

So how can the sun go down
If you wonít say goodbye
How can the sun go down
If you wonít say goodbye

Hey Frankie! Welcome. Thanks for the comments - more to come. Design of the site is all Bryan!!. It is probably more useful to just plug in and play some blues riffs to get an idea of tone. I will try to get that done this weekend.

I'm thinking once a few of these guitars get out there, we'll have to set up a listening room so we have a place to listen to clips.

Sounds great Jason! Your tone on this song reminds me of Peter Klett (Candlebox). That's not a slam at all.

I love his tone. Not a slam at all. I think he is a very underrated guitarist.

Almost as good as "Livin La Vida Loca!!!" :D

Did I mention I hate playing Brown Eyed Girl? Mostly because Elizabeth is not brown-eyed.


(This is me waiting for her to saw "Awww...") :D

Awwwww.... You noticed! :D

I know you hate it, but I am a girl. Girls like that song..... you could always change the words in it like you do in all the other songs....
Oh, and by the way Jason, I think I should mention that as much as I like that song, I haven't EVER made you play it for me. (I don't discourage other girls from asking the band to play it though...)

As site administrator, I strongly advise that this conversation be taken to e-mail... I don't want to have to lock this thread because people can't control their emotions... ;) :lol:
