Sharing is Caring

By LowbrowAnthony on January 26, 2014 8:15 pm

Week 4 Forum Theme - Shared Melody

Pselodux shared an old melody he had lying around.  As soon as I played it on guitar, I knew an Iron Maidenish rock song was necessary.

So a little bit about me.  I'm a guitarist in a melodic punk band.  My comfort zone for writing is songs that will eventually have vocals.  Because of this, the song sounds a little empty without singing.  Sadly, I'm a backup singer at best, so vocals probably won't happen from me anytime soon.  Oh, I also harmonize everything on guitar, so be ready for that, because it's going to happen a lot.

Gear used:
Guitars - Ibanez RG550, Spear Gladius SPHT (this guys right here, Ernie Ball Stingray
Amp - Kemper Profiling Amp (EVH 5153, Marshall JVM, Diezel Hagan profiles for guitars.  Ampeg SVT3 profile for bass)
Drums - EZ Drummer with Metal Machine Plugin (drums written in Tabit)
Software - Sonar, FabFilter EQ and Comp, Ozone 5

AWESOME! ! So much energy for the melody

Fantastic use of the melody.

Pretty amazing, I'm glad you cared enough to share it! and I prefer it without lyrics btw, makes me feel more like i'm fzero

This is actually incredibly close to how I was going to use the melody. Nice work!

Yeah, uncanny.. but your version is so much better than what I started!

ughhh sooooo good I hate you

You make that shitty melody rock!  So melodic, I love this.

sick guitar licks. careful you don't get pulled over for speeding!

Haha this is stupidly awesome!

Would love to hear a vocal version though.

Thanks man.

And for the record, if anyone wants to record vocals for any of my songs retroactively, I'm all for that.

kicks ass. respect.

Definitely have that later '80s early '90s heavy metal feel. Nice guitar chops too! I enjoyed the track!

Oh, man.  This is great--crunchy, pummeling, yet soaring.  Great job.

+1. Absolutely fuckin rocks. Great melodic riffs and excellent harmonizing between the multiple guitars.
