stunning solo in this one! i didnt know you did guitar as well? is this you or some guest appearance?

It’s me, but on keyboards. I’m actually working on a simple video right now that shows it’s not a real guitar because my cover was rejected on a site that only allows computer-generated music for the “real guitar” in it. :-S Love the irony in that.

that solo is done on keyz? no frikkin’ way! its either sampling or real stringie thingies.

Knap werk weer retroboy en helemaal trouw aan het origineel. Ben wel met Peter eens (wie dat ook mag zijn). Die solo is gewoon echt! Wel een bijzonder aparte combi zo geworden. Trance leads, Vangelis synths en een snerpende gitaar. Chapeau! Kan niet wachten tot volgende retro revival. Ben je alweer met iets bezig?

How do you get the guitar to sound so ‘real’? I tried many guitar on my keyboard but even with the best sounds it is still like a keyboard sound.

Play and record. Really, don’t do anything more than that. Don’t copy-paste, don’t grid-edit and most of all, don’t quantize! Or if your timing is really horrible, use quantize function that only quantizes outside a certain range or use “humanize” after quantize. And don’t forget to make a lot of use of the velocity, pitch-bend, modulation and possibly aftertouch. The biggest problem with keyboardplayers trying to emulate guitarplay is that they tend to forget that a guitar is a totally different instrument. You can’t manage to have every note sound exactly the same volume on a guitar, so a very sensitive velocity curve on your keyboard is a must. If your keyboard doesn’t have velocity, it will never sound like a guitar. Also, use modulation and/or aftertouch to emulate bending the strings and make excessive use of the pitch-bender at the start and end of notes. Not to slow, just very rapid bends at the very start of the note.

dit blijft echt een onwijs lekkere cover. en hierna ga ik echt weer de site verlaten, hahahahaa. blijf maar plakken hier. tijd dat er weer een chatroom komt.
