Wow Darrell,
I copy the words from Richard without the last ,question
although there may come a time when I need AI for a singing voice too
Greetings
This is a stunning piece of writing and performance Darrell! The melody and the accompaniment is just superb…and that wooo hooo melodic bit at 2:30 ish wow!
Amazing. Great production and of course guitar work. But a bit freaky the way AI sings so well.
Next step in my exploration of what I can do with AI vocals, a short Rock song called Driving into the Night, again it’s my backing track including the lead guitar plus lyrics, the rest is AI - I stretched myself a bit with the lead guitar but am very happy with it!
Hi Darrell,
You deserve the like already in the first seconds … the aplause for the rest that follows
Greetings
Thank you Rogier, I am really enjoying this change in direction, it really has brought back my desire to play again but for the desire of creativity - I think that’s what I’ve got wrong for a big part of my playing career.
AI has given me the freedom to create songs rather than just instrumental pieces, my wife and friends are they hadn’t any idea of what I was doing!
Well that was awesome. Excuse the slightly stalkerish question, but how are you playing the first lick? This was my best guess …
That was some smokin guitar, Darrell, great tune! Your use of AI vocals is incredible, I would never have realized they were AI.
That looks about right, you can tell more by playing it, fact is if I played it again I wouldn’t necessarily play it exactly the same, as mostly I just improvise I very rarely note anything down - as long as I have a recording of it it’s not too difficult to play something like it with the same feel.
Thanks Mari, yes using AI vocals has really opened up a new world for me, it’s so much fun!
That’s really good, I think your a bit hard on yourself over the repetitiveness you mentioned, if you play what your feeling at the time I think it can only be right if that makes sense.
Cheers Darrell - I was trying to understand the fingering for the very fast second half of the second bar - it flowed so well I guessed it might be a pet lick.
Great playing and production.
This whole thread is a goldmine of great guitar playing Darrell!! Keep them coming!
Thanks very much, yes I intend to do that!
I’ve got a few interesting ideas to try out, both instrumentally and vocally.
Watch this space!
This is another impulsive thing, I just got this sort of vibe messing around. There’s a very short addition of a male AI vocal in it just for fun!
I’ve got something more ambitious in progress but the guitar parts are pretty difficult; it’s a bit fast for my brain to process . It’s coming along but slowly, I’ve been working on it for a couple of weeks already!
Darrell, you are an incredible magician in making your guitar sing as you do (…thanks for adding this update, otherwise I would probably haven’t found this thread and that would have been a huge loss)
It’s been a long time coming, and it’s been a rocky road but it’s nice to have gotten there at last for me.
I really love to hear that people like what I’m doing now it gives me the will to carry on with it!
Darrell, this was amazing, very enjoyable. I wish I could see you playing to observe all the details. I am looking forward to listening your big project.
RE: Lonely River Blues
Great stuff Darrell. The vibe is so cool.
Right so it’s time for some fun! I’ve got that really demanding project done to the point where I felt I can unleash it!
Not really my style at all, it’s the sort of thing I don’t mind listening to but playing it is something else! However I took the bull by the horns and had a go.
The hardest part was the guitar parts, there’s a lot of piecing together so if there’s any bits that sound a bit odd that’s why! I am definitely going to have a rest for a few weeks before I look at anything else, I feel mentally and physically exhausted. That said I’m happy that I had a go - don’t know if I will attempt another one but who knows?
It’s called Lost in the Abyss - sort of a bit of a Scifi vibe perhaps - AI vocals as usual with a badass harsh part!
