Woody's Notes

The Visionary

Intro – first 16 bars with single guitar, cut to 4 bars
Intro – next 16 bars with 2 guitars, keep at 16 bars, but only the first 4 as-is
Intro – remaining 12 bars of the intro, introduce strings, possibly a bass line (not bass guitar, but maybe a string synth bass), and a solo instrument, possibly melodica
Strummed intro – leave as is (I like this part, also the way the instruments and vocal come in on the first verse)
Strummed intro – possibly hold over high strings (from the intro) to provide continuity
Vocal – like the octave thing, keep it
Harmony vocals – I’m not sure. They need to be mixed forward a bit, maybe the re-record will make it sound better
Sound is a little muddy during the verse, especially the bass part. Maybe some equalization in the re-record
The sound is full enough during the verses, don’t need to add any instruments, but maybe a string line for the second verse will give it more drama
Guitar solo is fine as far as it goes, but it is the exact same thing repeated twice, then the same thing again after the 2nd verse! Need to add some new solo material to avoid the repetition.
Bass line is fine, but new stuff could be added
I like the ending

Visionary Man
Give us the plan
Visionary Man

Should be muted for the first 4 bars of the strum intro
Should be muted after the first beat of the 4th bar of outro (final chord)
Should have a cymbal crash on final chord
Final measure of each solo, where the Am chord is played, need to come up with something for the drums
