Check out the demo of my new song

I wrote and recorded this rough version of a song tentatively called Dream last night and thought I'd share. I still need to work on the bassline and add vocals. Let me know what you think.

For you musicians, It's my Jazzmaster with Turbo Rat and EH poly chorus flange setting. Stingray Bass with MXR Dynacomp compressing the shit out of it. Crappy Boss DR-3 drum machine.

Nice dude! Can't wait to hear some lyrics with it!
Did you use any particular tuning?

Get an Alesis drum machine, they have a crapload of bang for the buck!

I think your song would sound better if it had reverb. But then again, I put reverb on everything. I like how the way you used the flanging in that one section. It seems like you set it to be in time with the beat.

Thanks guys.

It is in standard tuning.

The main riff is pretty simple, relying alot on the open high strings:

e---------0--------------0-----------------
b-------0---0----------0--0----------------
g-----5------5-------2-----2---------------
d---7---------7----5--------5--------------
a-------------------------------------------
e-------------------------------------------

I usually avoid reverb - I tend to like a dry sound, but I'll test it with a little on the guitar to see what it's like.

The flange is running always the same throughout the whole song, but it's way more noticible with chords/arpeggios.

Listening to it as I type this. I'm enjoying it.
