I've written a few Dropped D tuning songs in my time, so this challenge was right up my alley! Just kinda doodle on the guitar for the lead part, and Garagebanded the bass and drum bits
I have enough trouble shifting from guitar to uke to CBG...alternate guitar tunings are a fret too far! The doodle lead sounds fine BTW, it's all I can do anyway (and then people compliment the lead guitar part!) This instrumental has a good movealong swing and groove, I'd dance to it if I were still capable of dancing!
this is a great consistent sound and mix --- the tasty doodling keeps it moving along and doesn't get repetitive. and it seems you're more proficient with the Gband bass than i am.
I do like the sound of a Dropped D tuned guitar in skilled hands. It creates a lot of beautiful suspensions and has a great thick sound. I like your doodling too!
