It's a nice song, but where did you get that autistic 'guitar'player?

Nice song but it looks like you and your guitard are going to crash into each other anytime

Im so used to the guitard i play with, i didnt see anything wrong with it. Im constantly told the bass is too loud. meanwhile the only thing you can hear is him.

Bass was perfect when there was no guitar to be heard because he was doing something with the pedals or whatever.

He either has horrible stage fright or sucks tremendously.

If the latter is the case, the Boss GT-8 has a cool feature called 'auto riff'

The guitarist is definitely your weak link. A good start to fixing it would be to calm that flanger/phaser down.

I dig the song though. If it tightened up, I would consider picking up the album.

I like how the singer shot him 'the look' when he started that solo. Then you moved away from him lol.

I totally felt kinda bad about that lol. I was kinda like "your on your own buddy." Either way carbonado recently broke up (whole different story)and the drummer, the singer, and I are starting a new project. We're still using that song however.

So by new project you mean you kicked out the guitarist and changed the name of the band I don't blame you.

I don't think the guitarist was THAT bad, he seems to be catching a ton of ****. I don't think he was too loud either, I just think he shouldn't solo, ever. Or at least wait until he has some lead chops developed. His rhythm/tone wasn't wretched, it was just that solo that really amateured things up.

He missed a lot of beats, but yeah it coulda been worse...is he like that during practice?...maybe he was just nervous as hell, if he was than I feel for him...*starts humming the bands stage fright*

I remember like 6 years ago when I totally choked on a pickup gig thing and had to walk off stage covered in sweat...:shudder:

It's basically an automated phrase you program the GT-8 to play, you set up the sequence of notes and the tempo, and choose a key of the song you're playing.
Sounds a bit MIDI-ish on guitar, didn't try it with a bass yet.
Not sure if the GT-6B or GT-10B have one of those.

And it's hilarious looking at someone barely touching the strings while a 7 billion BPM arpeggio comes out of the amp

Anyway, have a look:
