I finally have a new song to post. This is one I wrote towards the end of 2020 and I just finished the recording a few days ago. I guess you could say it's a pandemic inspired song... and I'm really hopin' it goes viral!  All RT's are listed below. All lead & fill guitar parts are my Tele (Trigger). I'm doing all the vocals as well. As always all comments welcome. https://soundcloud.com/greg-achord/change-a-comin-1-20-21-greg-vib-ssRD PraiseWorshipUptempo RT 1268 Bass RT 1269 Guitar, Electric RT 1272 Guitar, Electric RT 1683 Guitar, Acoustic RT 1277 Piano RT 1543 SynthPad ©2021 Greg Achord Change A Comin'Here I sit I'm not alone my little dog is by my side He's so happy just to be with me it's something he can't hide He doesn't know what once was normal suddenly has ceased to be Don't take for granted what you know about livin' life and bein' free There's A Change A Comin' / A Change A Comin' And Now It's Here Another day has come and gone should I laugh or should I cry Or should I stay inside my house just hoping I don't die So many people in denial of the danger that surrounds us all Can't see the forest for the trees guess they just lack the where-with-all (Chorus) (Solo) (Bridge) There's got to be a way so everyone will know / After the storm there's always a rainbow There's got to be a way we all must realize / If we come together then we will survive (Chorus) X2 (Solo Out)

Good voice well captured. A touch of Big Country on the guitar licks but not quite bagpipe territory.
Nice one.
Cheers

HI Grag ...
Great to hear another one from you after such a long time since your last one. Perfect lyric for times. The lyric says a lot of what I think of the times and situation.
I'd nearly forgotten what a super voice you have. That lead riff was smokin' hot! Loved everything about it.
The bass [player of a band I played with back in the 70s was originally from Grand Junction. I lived in Denver and we played the Denver scene for several years.
Wishing you the best. Hope to hear more from you soon!

Excellent BiaB choices and that RD pops just right on the monitors!
Steamy guitar and great vocals ice the cake.

Thanks Moto. He's such a great little dog... Most of the time! Good voice well captured. A touch of Big Country on the guitar licks but not quite bagpipe territory.
Nice one. Thanks Ray. I wasn't thinking bagpipes when I did the intro lick, but now that you brought it up I definitely hear it. Good singing and a killer guitar solo! Well done! Thanks for the listen and the kind words.

Hey Dani, Thanks for the listen & kind words. Yes I'm using my CS Telecaster "Trigger", on all my guitar parts. Greg,
A terrific sound. Good song - documenting the times nicely.
Excellent vocals and BGVs. Nice soloing.
A really solid mix.
Great to see you back. Been a long time!
fj Floyd, Thanks so much. I'm happy to be back and have something to contribute... Even if it seems to be on a seasonal basis.  A big engaging sound, with a nice melodic chorus.
The guitar work is really excellent and the vocals are very good.
Top notch production.
Peter Peter, Thank you very much and thanks for the listen.

Hey Greg, I remember you from last time I frequented the forum!
Of all the people who post here, I identify perhaps most strongly with your submissions. Your rock influences are similar to mine, I suspect.
I like most everything about this one.. a spectacular production piece in which you juggled a lot of tracks, some of which are dripping with FX, and yet it isn't a pool of mud. I respect that a lot since mixing is not my forte.
I hear a little bit of Bachman Turner Overdrive, and several other 70s bands whose names I can't retrieve at the moment.
Your vocals are spot on for the genre, the guitar playing is clean and flashy, and there's vocal harmony at all the right places (and missing where it needs to be)
Love the guitar riff you use to intro the song. It also works as a signature passage later in the project.
Very catchy.. I can see you filling a dance floor with this one. I don't even dance, but it almost got me out of the computer chair.
I liked the transitions. You know how to keep a song moving, which is a trait I see mostly in song writers who have spent a lot of time in front of live audiences, throwing gasoline on the fire so the dancers don't sit down.
I could go on, but then there'd be nothing to say in the next review. Very impressed. Good job.

J&B, Thanks for stopping by, the kind words and for the comment on the drums... I sometimes worry I get them too hot. Cool song Greg, and some great guitar work!! Vocal is also very good!

I could go on, but then there'd be nothing to say in the next review. Very impressed. Good job. Thank you so much Pat. My influences are most definitely from the 70's & 80's... Probably more southern & country rock than anything else. I've been playing in front of live audiences since the mid 70's. (WOW that's a long time)  The heavy effects on the guitar parts were achieved using IK Multimedia's Amplitube 4 plugin... I just upgraded to Amplitube 5 the other day and it's even cooler! Thanks again for the listen and the very kind comments.
