I'm impressed. It's great.

Good to see other guys recordind all instruments by themselves, I do too. But I'm nowhere near as good as you though. This really sounds great! Do you have a band?

[Bish]

hey that sounds great, i do similar things - playing all the instruments - but i wish i could play keys and bass like you!

[tak22thegoat]

Damn! Showed great energy! Loved it dude.
Your drumming remind me of Carlock.
Your bass and keyboard playing was extremely well.
I loved the song! Very cool!

[LM201]

what setup do you have? i love the cymbals. the bass was cool too

Thanks dude! The bass line at the start, is inspired by Marcus Miller - groove man! :)

Wauw, never thought someone will write that stuff to me - Thank you so much, you made my day again! :D

Year, i think your right about the drumkit. I will try ti tight it up a little bit one day, maybe also the snare - i think it's a little to slappy (if you know what i mean).

Thanks again so much!

Yes i have a band - It's called Jon Bjarnasson Trio and we play some jazz funk ambient things! We will post some recording soon i hope! I also play in a rock band, Stevie wonder, Ray Charles, James Brown and more :-)

Yes, please do post some recordings, especially of that Trio, I'd really love to hear that. I'm off to listen to your thing again now, hehe.

Edit: Another thing: How did you record the bass? And what kind of bass is it?

I will soon post some demos of my band... Hehe, it's a bass sound on the piano.... Split!!!
Bass left hand, and Keys right hand at the same time :)

The bass sound is a J Bass like i think!

[Red Hawk]

wow!

it's great. Isn't it nice how when you record drums to your own solos, you know EXACTLY what punches to hit? It's like you're reading the keyboard player's mind. HA!

Dang...It sounds very good, I was guessing Jazz Bass all the way.

Again, very impressing work. We'll be waiting for more! :)

[tbmills]

Congrats man! Thats sounds really good. The only thing I could critique, if you dont mind, is the kick sound. It sounded a little hollow/thin to me... Im just being a parrot, but the bass line at the beginning is sick, and your keys sound fantastic.

Good job.

[gusty]

Very nice, I agree, your playing sounds carlock-influenced. Good job on the other instruments too!

[fusssion]

My....is that SLAMMIN' !!! Very sweet!!! WOW!
