I like it

Fun feel good song, reminds me a lot of Owl City. Good job man, keep it up!

dicennian responds:

Well I love owl city so that sounds awesome mate:)

Holy shit dude

Seriously, you have unbelievable talent on the guitar. I love both Final Fantasy VII and guitar, so this is pretty awesome for me. I also play guitar, so when I heard this I wanted to try to figure out how to play it, but I've been having trouble. I've only been playing guitar for about a year and a half so it's not easy for me to figure stuff out. I've looked for tabs for this but the ones I found weren't nearly as roarin as yours is. Do you think you could possibly help me out here, maybe put your tabs up somewhere? Because I know that I am not the only one that would want to learn how to play that. Thanks alot, you friggin rule man.

Thanks a lot dude! I really appreciate it. *grins*

Unfortunately, no tabs for me dude. I never liked 'em. I was always a big play-by-ear person, but learning to read music is absolutely invaluable in my opinion. Takes a while, but definitely helps.

Long term I would strongly recommend learning to read music, but more immediately, just stick with it and keep trying new ideas and fingerings and you'll be sure to get it. Patience and perserverance will get you everywhere on guitar -- don't get discouraged.

If you'd like, try playing the song (or any song you're looking to learn) on Windows Media Player or a similar program and slowing down the speed to 1/2 and just dividing the song into segments. Sometimes it's easier to learn challenging songs in pieces, then put the pieces together afterward, thinking of it as a few short chunks as opposed to one large painful song.

Good luck dude -- and keep playing. You'll be schoolin' your friends in no time.

You guys absolutely rock!!!

Seriously, out of all the different bands I've heard on Purevolume, Myspace, and the entire Newgrounds Audio Portal, you guys are the best. I love each and every one of your songs. You have great catchy tunes, awesome lyics, spectacular vocals, sweet crunchy guitar lines, and everything flows so smoothley. When your CD comes out I'm deffinitely buying it. You should come tour in the US, I live in Massachusetts so come visit! By the way, I'm in a band, and maybe we could play together. You can check out our website in my profile, we have some recordings on Purevolume but they're pretty bad. Anyway, you guys fricken rock!

lessthan3 responds:

We should get on one of those other sites. Not sure why we gravitated to the NG audio portal, but we did. When the CD comes out, there'll be a song uploaded announcing it.

Pretty good

Hey I thought this was pretty good man. A couple things though. One, you need much more bass. Either you're not using a bass guitar or bass drum or I just can't hear it, because it is so lacking the extra deep feel to it. Get your drummer hittin the bass more or louder, and get your bass player louder, or if you don't have one find one, NOW. All in all though it was good, the singer sounds sorta like Lenny Kravits.

Radio-rock-man responds:

Thank you for the tips, i do not own a bass, but i was thinking of borrowing one to bass things up (or down i guess). Also, everything is doen by me, so thank you.

Hey what's up?
