Guitar Voices
"Backing Tracks For Guitarists"
|
Guitar Voices: "Backing Tracks For Guitarists" was designed for the guitarists all over the world, looking to develop their playing styles and abilities, by playing over ultra-high quality backing tracks. Guitar Voices was recorded entirely in house, at White Circle Studios by co-founders Kostas Alexakis and Dave Tawfik, who wrote all the materials, as well as played guitars, keyboards and b ass on all the tracks. The drums are high quality Spectrasonics loops.
All the material was recorded digitally, using 24bit 96khz high quality recording, using Focusrite preamps. The material was then mixed and mastered for ultra-high quality sound and definition. The results are professional sounding and are extremely enjoyable for the player.
The Guitar Voices CD itself comes in a cool, contemporary designed glossy card wallet, and features a cool design on the disc. Full song charts and scale suggestions can be found on the 3 Minute Entertainment web site.
Features the following tracks: "Highway To Heaven" (classic rock), "Purple Sky" (smooth ballad), "Get The Funk In" (contemporary funk), "Labarynth" (melodic nu-metal), "Bad Day Blues" (electric blues), "Crystal Dreams" (melodic rock), "Spaghetti Time" (fusion) and "Y.M.R." (shred metal).

"I must say I think these backing tracks really are pretty cool. Their quality is exceptional and the various tracks cover a range of different styles. Backing CDs from other companies I've heard tend to sound like a cheapo sequencers-naff drum tracks and cheesy keyboard sounds. But Guitar Voices CDs sound amazing-real guitars, bass and the drums sound pretty real to me (are they?). Also, compared to the obvious rivals they're about half the price! Cool!"

"I will enjoy playing to these tracks to demo some new Roland and Boss guitar gear (I am a guitar product specialist at Roland Canada). From a quick listen, tracks sound very good. Good work."
Steve Alexander, Roland, Canada
"I got the CD! I'm better with some genres and weaker in others. 'Labarynth' calls for some shredding cappabilities and Vai/Satrianique runs. Still trying to experiment with song one at a time since its calls for some tasteful arrangement of solos, which is good."
