I love fusion, and this is serious stuff. I gather you’re playing bass and drums? Did you record these tracks in your own studio? It has a certain live sound to it. I think critiquing these recordings is above my level of expertise, so I’ll just say, fabulous! Bass and drums are really great, and I am truly admiring the guitarist. Sounded like Metheny at first, but then Scofield, but then it sounded like whoever he is! Thanks for posting.

3

Not me playing. Issah Contractor played both Drums/Bass (no guitarist, mostly 6-string bass you hear), a fellow named Brent Mah did the Sax.

I just engineered/mixed.

4

You’re saying at 46 seconds that’s a bass? I do not believe it!

5

haha, that is in fact a bass. but derrr, there is some electric guitar on the record… but you will definitely know when it’s electric guitar. :laughing:

6

Evidently, I will not know when it’s an electric guitar! Crap!

7

Too be fair, that is some pretty high melody “bass” guitar. Tone wise you will hear the electric guitar, it’s just on two of the 9 tracks on the record.

8

This guy is just that more amazing than I realized. I’m embarrassed to admit that guitar is my main instrument.

9

I know how you feel, my main instrument as well haha. Definitely mixed it at times to sound a bit like a jazz guitar with the tone knob on the guitar rolling off the highs.
