“Get offa my lawn!!” hahaha – nice, Paul! Very groovy production and sounds, and is that you ripping the Carlos Santana-esque guitar? 🙌🎸 FWIW, the only thing that caught my ear was the rhythm guitar around 0:50 that seems to be playing a major chord over the minor vibes of the track? I might be hearing it wrong tho. Made me wonder if your Rip-x Daw could help turn that guitar chord to minor (I often use melodyne for this type of thing). Either way, awesome work and fun track!

Dana,
I’ll take “groovy.” That sounds complimentary to me, thank you very much. That Santana inspired playing is not from me. I can only take credit for giving the guitar player a direction to short for and I think he nailed the feel. My music playing prowess peaked a long time ago when I was the drummer for the Hall & Oates road crew band. The actual musical director, who played guitar with us in the crew band said to me one day “You’re the worst drummer we’ve ever had in the road crew band BUT I love playing with you!” He’s dead now and I take it as a compliment to this day.
That story is true in case you were wondering. 😉
I’m gonna dig into that brief section where it sound major / minor conflicted to you and have to learn the re-pitch part of RIP-X.
I’m feeling more confident in my mastering chops nowadays compared to when many of these “songs” were taking shape. I’d take comments along those lines anytime.
Appreciate the effort you put in to us here in the community.

Woah – the fact that a Hall & Oates road crew band is a thing makes my day, not to mention that you were the drummer in it! Haha – that is awesome! Love it. I’ll take a listen on my studio speakers in the next day or two to see if there’s anything I can offer on that topic. But for now, from my laptop speakers, it sounds pretty bangin!

This ought to make it easier to dissect the music. Unlike Nate’s luscious composition, I favor the simplicity. KB bass, AC Gt, and the El Gt. The KB bass is possibly the culprit but it is an interesting twist.
