Did I Ever Feel - Latin Pop with some 80s LA influence

Mats_Nermark · May 2, 2022 at 2:54 PM

Quite often I feel like I would like to get to know a style that I'm not familiar with. At least get to know it enough to write a new tune in what I feel is close enough to the style.

This time I opted for some Latin Pop of the somewhat over arranged highfalutin style that some people might call elevator music.

I did, however, enjoy writing this tune and this is the result.

For this tune I broke out the Colling I-35LC as I was aiming for some Larry Carlton vibes.

Very smooth, very well done Mats_Nermark ! You've nailed all the tones and just general sounds perfectly and playing is top notch. Add a vocalist to the ballad and I think you'd no longer feel insecure about it to want to downplay it as mere elevator music, remember most elevator music is just instrumental rearrangements of huge hits.

Oh wicked cool guitar by the way, I had to look it up. That's a serious axe!

Awesome! I hear Sergio Mendes singing on that.

Great Hands Killer! Well Played Sir, Larry would hug you for that one.

Thanks Per!

Unlike most elevator music, I suspect my tune will never be a huge hit.

I'd like that!

Probably quite a bit more than he'd like it.

Hi Muddy,

Thanks, but I doubt Larry would be interested.

Hey Hafi!

To be Carltonish seems to be where I'm at.

Well played and recorded Mats. All of a sudden it is not such a horror to get stuck in an elevator... as long as they play your tune there

Hey Joe!

Thanks for your kind words.

If memory serves, the profile was one from my ODS-style pack .
