Thanks Chris - appreciate it coming from such a great player....

Short it is - but I come from the school of 'leave 'em wanting more' and 'don't outstay your welcome'....!!

And the kids wanted their dinner......

Nice piece. I love the pipe organ and really like the guitar tone. Listening gave me a good idea for another tune. I couldnt pick out any movie references except for the "Phsyco" part. How did you do the guitar. Sounds like maybe a POD or Boss GT di'd. Sort of "Satch" like in tone

Cheers Gents! There are five movie references in there - albeit some quite tenuous - but there....! Clue - There is one just after the 'Jaws' bit right at the very end..... (more sci-fi than horror tho... )

The guitars are both Amplitube 2 - clean one with loads of modulation and a very slow rotary speaker sound - tube compressor..... and the heavy sound is exactly as spotted, a Satch tone with harmonizer and delay... both with a Morley wah.

Thanks for the feedback guys.

Tony.

Well done. I like the guitar playing as I'm a fan of Satriani as well.

Liked the dramatic build-up, wish it was a bit longer though. Spotted some Vai & Satriani influences in there which is great. Sounds like you're into your horror movies too. Great effort.
