AFIII My new single 'Tangerine Dream'

[Sean Ashe]

Hey all you good people!

I just released a new single last week and wanted to share it with you, it's an instrumental guitar-rock song with a nod to that late 80s/early 90s period of some of my heroes (Vai, Satch, EVH, Shawn Lane).



I used my Axe FX III for all of the rhythm guitars (JCM800#34), and for all of the leads from 2:40 on (USA Pre Yellow Lead).

The primary lead tone was an actual silver klon into my old simulclass IIC+, loaded into a reactive load, and then into my Axe FX. Now that the Klone chiron is availble in the fractal ecosystem, I've dialed in a patch that's bang on by just matching the knobs of the pedal + amp. Klone into IIC+ Bright/Deep into a 412 Friedman with greenbacks will get you there easily. My graphic EQ is more of a smirk, than a smile, with less being pushed in the high end than the traditional V curve.

Nice! When can we hear the whole album? I’m still rockin’ your 1st album!

Thanks!

I intend on releasing some more singles/music videos leading up to it, so my best guess is early 2023.

Sick guitars, fast cars & hot babes. That's my kinda video! Great job man! A++++++!!!

 

[unix-guy]

Nicely done. Cool tones, cool melodies, cool all around!

 

[Tomr]

Nice arrangement and great playing. You do your heroes proud.

 

[slimefuzz]

I like the music.
I'd be wary of the orange jumpsuit

 

[Scented Meat]

Looks and sounds great! Will definitely make it onto my playlist.

Outstanding work. Only criticism would be….. need more of the Vette and (especially) the blonde!

Thanks! I do agree, that generally more is always more.

Thanks everyone really glad you're diggin' it. It was a blast to write, record, and shoot the video. So happy to share it

Thanks man! I am glad you felt the Spirit of Radio

 

[Indalicaguitars]

Asombroso, elegante, muy bueno

 

[orb451]

Great tune

Looks like it was filmed on Little Tujunga. Miss those SoCal roads.

Good stuff! Your playing / writing is always melody focused and that's what I want from an instrumental.

I'd love to see a video comparing the tone with your real Klon vs your tone dialed in with the Klone Chiron.

Thanks so much! The funny thing about the Klon, is that even the real ones are all a little different. I've shot out four real silver horsie Klons back to back, and they each had a slightly different character to them. Personally, I find the comparison/shoot out game between 'real' and 'digital' to be counter productive, but I'll consider it for sure.

Hey Sean, it is very different than the songs in your first album, yet as always, you rip!!

Thanks! I am still really proud of Flux, but definitely have changed a lot since then as a player, writer, and person (about 7 years ago now)

If you haven't heard my last single, "Ocean", it is a bit of a transitory song from the Flux sound to the 2nd record. I think this one got its start in mid 2016?

DUDE Ocean =..SCHWEET composition, with Rock’n licks!
