Mood Swing

By Jokinen on April 22, 2018 9:16 pm

Thought I'd change it up for this week. I've been doing more airy/delay style songs and wanted something different. I started on Thursday and built this song bit by bit. The ending was in intro until yesterday and the song was built backwards.

Thanks to @mikememo for hooking it up with lessons on modifying pitch on clean guitar to use as a bass. I think it really filled the song out nice. @mikememo no problem.

Funkaayyyyy, usually not a fan of wah/flange but it works so good in this song.  This would be a blast to jam to on drums if you catch my drift yikes

i mean this songs frickin great but that middle solo is fantastic

also it got a "i like this one"/10 from Abby, so that's pretty good

Yeah those middle pinches in the solo are dirty

Thanks dudes! I had fun with that middle solo. The buildup is lame as fuck, but I needed something to fill the void.

That is demon wah. Great work overall.

Holy fuck, I'm dancing at my desk today! badass wah guitar and drums.

Glad I could assist with some desk-dancing, haha. Thanks! I'm glad I went with the wah on this instead of a flanger, I think it brought more funky-ness.

serious fat guitars and incredibly powerful drums. it is all you? impressing stuff.

Thanks! Yep, that's all me. It was fun on every instrument this week due to it not being my original style.

Boom! Delicious stuff mate

Violent mood swings have never sounded so sweet.

Haha, thanks! It was a sweet one to make.

Yeah man!  This is really solid.  Great drum sound :-)

This kicks so much ass.

Been listening through your stuff and this is my favourite, getting a RATM feel from the main riff. So it actually is a guitar used as a bass? Ive tried that myself but never got it sounding decent lol, nice job!

Thanks for the listens! It is in fact a guitar as a bass, yes. I first recorded it clean and then pitched it down fully while assigning it to Guitar Rig 5 with the FunkBass amp pre-set. Honestly, it turned out 10x better than I expected.

the dog woke me up and I don’t know why or how but this fuckin riff was in my head so now I’m blasting a 6am heater jammin to this buttery jamski
