Hi dudes :kickass:

I finally finished the work of the song "The World has moved again" and I´m fucking proud to show you the 2 min solo section with lead contributions of Metaltastic, James "The_Shred" and Keregioz. Now we have 4 different sounding lead styles, played by 4 different sneapsters of 4 different countries :)

0:07 Felix Neumann´s lead solo

0:24 Marcus "Metaltastic" lead solo

1:14 James "The_shred" lead solo

1:31 Keregioz´s lead solo

Here we go:

The World has moved again (solo section)

Feedback, critics and comments are very welcome :headbang:
 
Thanks a ton for posting this Felix, and it sounds fantastic! I know this is the ultimate cliche thing to say, but I do feel mine could come up ever so slightly, mostly cuz compared to the fullness of that final run you play with the neck pickup mine feels a little buried, but then again I'm used to listening to my version where I intentionally mixed it obnoxiously high, so hearing it at a reasonable volume will take some getting used to I guess :D James, I gotta be honest, the notes of that first real lick you play don't quite jive with me key-wise, but the rhythm and phrasing are great, and I really like the next (harmonized) lick and the effects on it (what exactly am I hearing FX wise, a phaser?), and I LOVE that ending ascending lick, damn - amazing resolution at the end :headbang: And Felix and Kimon, you already know how much I dig yours! :kickass:
 
Yeah its been niggling at me a bit, I think ill swap it out for something more fitting. Don't worry Felix it will be exactly the same everywhere else including the mix so you can just drop it in while you master it :)
 
Thank you very much, Jarkko :kickass:

Yes, this is the solo section of the first song I wrote for the Dark Tower Project. I still don´t have a name for the project...this is not easy..I don´t wanna call it The dark tower project :lol:

Damn, I seriously can't wait to hear the finished product. The stuff from this project you've posted so far has probably been the best shit I've heard on this forum!
 
Hey Marcus :)

I can push it a bit, no problem. I certainly tryed to set up the same level like for my solo.
Some other opinions would be not bad at all. It´s important for me that the mix is balanced well. In the end, it has to be perfectly.

About James solo..I first thought, wow this scales are a bit risky, but he played no single tone, what I´d say it sounds "wrong" or "to avoid"...still diatonic, but on the edge ;)
I´m loving it, because it´s quite different to the other solos, especially scale wise.

Your Solo Marcus, sounds fantastic, kind of dreamlike. It fits perfectly to the dreamy choir in the background. Awesome technique as usual :)

Keregioz...just wow! The lead solo with the most spectacular licks in it. It was the right decicion to let him lead the solo section to the end.

I cannot say, I prefer one of the solos. Each one has its moments, what makes me just smile :)
 
I got goosebumps listening to this. Seriously.

I can't wait to hear the complete song. :)

That snare of ultimate destruction sits in nicely there too. :D
