This is called Lunchy and was recorded using samples and me playing a Ibanez 320 through a Digitech RP350 into Cool Edit Pro. The timing is a bit off, but I felt it had charm, and also I didn't know how to fix it, so I left it like that.
As the title suggests, it was recorded during my lunch break.

Cool. Really busy in some spots though.

[Ian McAllister]

Thanks for your comment. I had to get back to school, and all the guitar is first take. The end bit 'scream for daddy' is a wee bit tongue in cheek, and it was the first whammy bar I'd had!
Great forum by the way.

That was quite a production for your lunch hour. Very impressive guitar playing too. I liked it.

[Ian McAllister]

To be fair, I had two hours to do it in, I'm a teacher. I just posted to you actually, listened to the CCR track, and my first thought was that I hoped you didn't listen to my track!
Thanks for your reply,
Ian

Hey Ian. I actually like the resampled mix. I listen to some downtempo where they do that sort of thing. Portishead comes to mind. I thought it was very cool.

[starsailor]

Yeah that was good Ian, liked the intro as well, nice bit of sampling there, I agree with fly it was pretty cool

[Ian McAllister]

Thanks starsailor, I just stuck some samples together from a library and played over the top of it, reversed a couple of things and that was it. You would think that after that I'd have loads more, well yes, about ten unfinished songs! I just can't concentrate on drums and computer stuff. I'm used to playing with other musicians and I find my mind drifting toward watching TV when I should be learning midi sequencing and notation. This is obviously why I'm a teacher and not a recording artist!

Very nicely done , I'm someone else who likes adding little bits for fun and interest.Check this out when you have some time, over the top but still had a ball creating it

Oh X4stringdrive! A smashing bit of OTT. I liked the way you managed to get a 60s, 70s and 80s feel into such a short track. It sounded like hopped up surfers playing a Spandau Ballet song with attitude.
Loved it.

[X4StringDrive]

LOL Thanks, looking forward to more of your stuff!

[eddiez152]

Ian,
Quite the mix. There is a lot of things going on in this.
Very good player.
Hope you'll do some straight stuff. Keep'em coming.

Merry Christmas

[Ian McAllister]

Thanks eddiez, as I said this was the first thing I recorded when I got my setup, and it was just a bit of fun, playing a few different styles over a loose construction of samples. I have a lot of straight stuff, but, as I've said elsewhere, my concentration wanders and I never seem to get anything finished.
Having said that, I wrote a song for my students to perform with me at our school's New Year celebration, and it's a straight as I get .
I'll post it when we record it.
Trying to get to grips with the technology, especially drum programming, is like eating crackers with nothing to drink.
Happy Christmas.
Ian

Ian welcome to the forum as I said earlier. Should be a lot of fun.
Be looking to hear more.
