Hey revnet!!After listening, I'd have to agree with the others. I've got a feeling exactly what this listing is calling for (I've got a tune specifically written for such a listing, but need ta' re-work it) and I don't quite think you're on target with this one. First off, I don't think the energy level is there for this particular listing. Secondly, this listing calls for instrumentals. I wouldn't submit a tune that had vocals in it, when the listing specifically mentions "instrumentals", although the a las may incorporate vocals in their tunes. But I think the lister is thinking "type of music/sound" he/she would like ta' hear minus the vocals. At least that's how I'm interpreting it. For me, the key thing to look at in a listing, is whether it calls out for instrumentals, specifically (which this one clearly does) or whether it calls out for lyrics (which it mentions nothing about), or if it mentions both (sometimes that happens). Gotta be careful how you read into these listings. I would say, think high energy Joe Satriani all the way (not familiar with Avril or Blink) and you'll probably be O.K. I could be wrong, but you'll probably get the big [R] if ya' submit this piece. Just my $.02. I-468

OK, this is really weird. When I put the link up yesterday I swear it was the right track. It's an instrumental guitar song called Give65. After reading the above post I checked the link and it was a song of mine called a new day. Keyboard driven, vocals etc. Weird. Some of you heard the right song, I can tell by the descriptions. Others heard the wrong song. Weird.The song is Give65 @ http://www.taxi.com/jhewitt79or http://www.taximusic.com/song.php?song_ ... eam=trueDo these links change from time to time? Very strange. It would be really funny if everyone was commenting on a different song then I intended. OK, maybe not really funny since you all took time to listen and respond...Any, thanks again for listening and commenting and liking my stuff even if it's not right.Jim

I think you should make it more aggressive and turn the tempo up a bit in my opinion. Liked the song though, and the riff is great!

Revnet, I think the song is right on for the listing just my opinion for what that is worth.The sound quality of your recordings are really good (I heard the song u linked before by mistake and it also was great and great recording). Everything sounds so upfront and the mix is really good.Can I ask u what u r using such as DAW (cubase, sonar), mic pre's, mics, AD/DA converters, guitar mic, etc.? I would really appreciate the info.I am so curious and in awe of how some people are getting their sound which some are superb like yours. bluesgirl

Well, I have NO experience with this market, but to me it sounds perfect for X-Games, Moto-X etc. I'd say go for it if you have $5 you want to gamble.Cam
