I *think* I'm moving in the right direction with this- but I'm not sure. The latest one is called "Push" with all sorts of it's own problems that I'm still working out. For those of you who play guitar I recorded an insane number of tracks for this. For the guitar alone it was a total of 4 stereo guitar tracks with enough gain to kill a small child, all being played at once. Two of the stereo channels were doubled by running the live signal through two different stereo preamps before going into a mixer. There is also a stereo acoustic track at the end of each chorus bringing the total to 14 layers of 3 different guitars. The first distorted guitar you hear is also in double dropped-D tuning so my Gibson looked like this:
e-standard
B-standard
G-standard
D-standard
D-1 step lower to match the same pitch as the bottom D-string
D-standard dropped-D
So, it made a jet-like harmony when playing like you would do power chords in dropped-D hitting all three D strings at the same time. It makes an interesting tone because your high-D is a whole step higher than the other two strings. The old A-string is way-way low so it almost flops around and the bottom string is in regular D-tuning. The cool part about the bottom two in the exact same pitch is that you get a different string oscillation because they are in different string gauges. The second distorted guitar you hear coming in is my USA Strat in dropped-D (totally Filter-Guitared out with just one Seymour Duncan Invader pickup). It's a cool tone... bit of a one trick pony though.
I'm not big on coming on here to promote my own stuff, but I know what kind of music most of you listen to, and that most of you are serious listeners that don't like everything...so that's why I'm asking for critical feedback on my stuff. On everything from song writing to performance quality to editing.
Also, Lexie totally hooked me up with that LJ stuff so I'll be documenting all the fuckin pains of making music in the music making process and trying to make it big. All you folks can read that here:

And of course you can always hear ever growing list of noise (aka "music") here:

Enough tooting my own horn...
