Portuguese Sun(Soft Guitar overdrive tones included)

Thought I'd post these.I think they use all the stock amps and FX so no add-ons needed.

Includes the Lead,Rhythm and bass patches used in this,

The lead was mainly on the Neck position of a Strat with the volume down a couple of notches at points but later the Bridge which has a rails humbucker(single coil PUP size humbucker).D'Addario Ultra lites starting at 0.008"

sheppola,
I wouldn't complain if you had put some of your nice vocals on this song, but otherwise everything sounds very good! What keyboards are you using? The song gave me some goosebumps! Reminded me a bit of Dire Straights (this is a compliment). BTW, yesterday I listened to your "Bad Sign" & "Footdown" on CD in my car as I drove home from work. Keep rockin'!

  I've stayed away from vocals at the moment and concentrating on Instrumental versions as I plan to release a CD/Itune pak in the New Year so most of my previous links to tracks are now dead
  
  The keyboards are just a Free Synth VST called PQN Mopar,

  It's only in VST I think.

    shepp,
    Thanks for the link! Before I try to download it, do you know if it will work with an iMac with Snow Leopard?

      I have no idea as I don't know what Macs can do.I thought they needed is it .au programs and not VSTs?

        shepp,
        I have toontrack Superior Drummer 2.0 as a VST operating in my Cubase LE4 (which came with my Tascam US-144 USB interface gizmo). I looked around the link you have & it's not clear to me if the synth thing works with Macs/Snow Leopard.

Shep, this is the probably the best I have heard from you. Great work. If your string guages were any thinner you wouldn't have any!
