Updated QUEEN Full-length & guitar solo

Post by k o star » Wed Apr 01, 2009 12:45 am

Present:I just completed this track "Rock U" by Queen... and freshly recorded a guitar solo which borrows a riff from Brian May's solo in the same track... a solo inspired by a solo =)The submission due date is 20th so only 3 more days... any feedback would be really really cool...http://www.taximusic.com/song.php?song_ ... eam=trueor the 2nd track on:www.taxi.com/kostarPeace,KelPast:Am wondering about this listing...When they request for Classic Rock covers, does it mean we should be striving to sound like the original song/artist or could we modernize the sound/style for this listing?I'm wondering cos I did an Alternative/Industrial sounding demo of Queen's "We will Rock U" & am not too sure if I'm wasting my time polishing it up to send in this one...Anyone's thoughts about this would be deeply appreciated..http://www.taximusic.com/song.php?song_ ... eam=trueor the 2nd track on:www.taxi.com/kostarPeace,-KelCOVERS OF CLASSIC ROCK SONGS - VOCALS AND INSTRUMENTALS are needed by the Music Supervisor of a major cable TV series.

Then I can play it. I've had this problem with all of these types of links and this seems to be the work-around. It only takes an instant to save to your local machine, since you are not downloading an mp3, just a streaming location. Casey

Definitely submit this.... (1), it is an interpretation which seems to be very much OK and (2) it looks like you already had it lying around! Nicely done! Casey

Hey guy,I like your treatment and hope this fits what they're looking for.I do notice a hiss on the right during the start with the bass intro, and quite a hiss at the end as well.Wondering what you used to achieve that distortion/filter sound that comes in at 0:14...cool!I would have liked the solo in the center, but that may not matter except to me. Great sound!
