The place for musicians to share their knowledge and ideas about music and remixing, and to post WIP snippets and feedback. Also suggest tunes for remixing, here.
I've been browsing with sidplay2/win the last couple of days listening to old favorites as well as new stuff and during my long stay in the Daglish-folder (I always stay there longer than in most other folders) I came upon the classic superfunky and fat bluesy Kettle (sub #1). I figured I'd do that one using my trusty old strat, but the stuff @ 1:15+ is just ridiculous. I can never ever play that crazy shredding-never-intended-for-guitar. Everything before that shouldn't be a problem though. I guess I can do some improvisation or just skip the fast runs (it turns normal again after a while). I've always wondered why there's so few remixes (only 2 @ RKO and they're ooold). Now I know. And it's screaming for a typical blues/funk/rock-arrangement (something Daglish really tried to emulate in his SID's with guitarsolos and all), something not many @ RKO do. So what do you think, can I butcher the thousand-notes-per-second or should I go look somewhere else?
ps. I don't have a set plan on how to 'cover' it yet, I'm still in the 'imagining'-stage. I have several ideas just floating around, like Commitments-style thing, or a more bluesy thing with some funk hang, or maybe a more electronic version with only a guitar lead heavily filtered and transformed.
