Thanks man, I tried a bunch of different things with it, but ended up just keeping it simple.

As for that soundtrack, I've been sitting behind a keyboard for upwards of four hours a day trying to make something with that kind of emotional impact, and I can't do it for the life of me. I can make happy emotional songs, but I can't get that kind of bittersweet sound that Gustavo gets

Yeah, my recording equipment is pretty lackluster, so it is a bit "ringy". I hope to get better stuff soon. But yeah, that's why I love the guitar so much, its such a dynamic instrument. You can alternate the tuning and have a completely new instrument in your hands. Gustavo uses mid-sixties guitar/bass called a Fender VI. It’s literally a guitar/bass, not a bass guitar. That's how he gets those really awesome base notes and that amazing ambient sound. Among other things.

Isabella and I are quite the couple now, you cant take her from me. Where the hell is your Ibanez? That's a sin to keep her locked away!

Favorite Chord Progressions anyone?

m2-5-1 (Dm7-G7-Cmaj7) for major jazz improv
m1-4-m5 (Cm7-F7-Gm) for minor jazz improv
m1-7-flat6-5 (Cm-Bb-Ab-G) for blues
m3-1 (Em-C) and 3-m1 (G-Em) are both good if you want to have either a sad or passionate sounding chord change

Well at least you named her after my daughter lol! My Steve Vai Jem is still locked away in the storage unit u helped me load up hahahaha Poor baby is just being neglected now. I actually may just end up giving you that guitar as well! I am not sure when I can make it down, but maybe we can set up sending u the code/key for the unit.

Wow DJD, given a Jem. THE guitar. Jelly.

Well I already have given him a vox wah wah, I think I gave him the Vai distortion pedal ( jemini ) right? I can't remember lol. I know the stuff is in good hands.

I would shit myself if you gave me that guitar! Haha. I could at least keep her safe and comfortable at my house while your away. I think you kept those pedals too, cause I don't have them here.

Oh ok well then they are in the storage as well hahaha. Was not sure if I gave them to you, or locked em in storage. If you don't mind digging through the unit PM me your address, I will send you the key.

Hey man,

The address is 6617 Wynn Lane, Groveland FL, 34736

I don't quite remember where the storage place was at and all that stuff. Lol.

Im more than willing to go on a rescue mission and save that guitar from a 100 degree storage unit. Once I get out of boot camp and start making some money Ill just buy it from you.

Or if you want it back at some point we can figure it out. Hope you and the family are doing good.

Take it easy fella,

Well, that was supposed to be a PM...

Oh well, not sure how I managed that. Its late I guess. If anybody feels like coming over to chill, thats where I live. lol

ha, I've had one of those moments

Found this band on Reddit. Give em a listen on Spotify or something, they're pretty good.

I usually prefer to be around 140-160 bpm, but tried 128 bpm yesterday, Still needs a ending and stuff but whatever, tried something different from what i usually hear.

Learned this a while back. It's pretty sloppy, but whatever, guitar isn't really my forte.
