Anthem of the Accepted

Well, I've written, and recorded, another new song. I call it "Anthem of the Accepted," and you can check it out on MyJonesMusic by clicking on the following link. (You'll have to click the "Play Song" button when you get there.... And watch your volume. My Jones Music always starts cranked all the way up..... )

I tried something different this time. I'm relying a lot more on the recording equipment to help with the composition, etc. And, I spent a lot more time working out the drum fills, etc, instead of just relying on the out-of-box samples. I did this all on the trusty dusty Boss BR-600. I had envisioned doing more with background instruments, (keys, etc), but once I got into it with the guitar, I thought this sounded pretty good, so I just stuck to that. Add a few Boss effects, and my Gretsch was once again doing double duty as the bass, and lead.

I've got a tab started for this, and will make it available if anyone wants it. I'd like to hear some feedback on the song, and recording, etc, first. I'm still trying to figure out how to polish the final version better, (along with working on some faster licks). I've learned in the past that, parts I don't think sound all that great can be fixed with recording techniques often better than rewriting, or re-recording the part from scratch. I think I'm going to check out Cubase next, to see if I can get even more control over the final mix-down, etc.

Anyway, check it out, and please comment, and rate. I need the feedback. (Honestly!!)
