Happy Halloween repost – Charjo

[charjo]

This was my September 2021 Challenge. I clearly had too much time on my hands during the pandemic.
I had never made such an involved multitrack composition with so much video editing. I set out to use my strat for as many eerie sound effects as I could.
Hope you are very, very frightened. Happy Halloween!

Scared the **** outta me! This is the most creative project I have seen to-date on AM. Eerie throughout the entire four-plus minutes. This is pro work on every level and could well be a Hollywood soundtrack. Incredible, John. The panning is amazing via headphones. Kudos, sir.

Nothing quite so powerful as spooky riffs complete with scary images. I don’t mind admitting John, I watched it from behind the sofa😱

Awesome production John.

I remember this one well John. Excellent production from start to finish. Definitely had the ‘Wow’ factor and the ‘Spooky’ factor. Brilliant!

Digressing slightly: Totally agree with the abundance of time we all had during the pandemic. We really delved into the guitar playing and for me personally some of my most satisfying guitar playing was during this period. Not that I want to back of course!!!

All the best! 😎🎸😱🎸😎

I must admit that I don’t particularly like Halloween, but your musical and visual contribution to it is overwhelmingly creative. It’s a truly artistic composition at its finest, creating an unlikely atmosphere with images and sounds. I’m thrilled.

Hey John,
Like Dieter, I’m not a fan of scary movies but your artistic and musical skills shine with this video.
How about those Blue Jays! We’re rooting for them.

Wish I had that on a loop for the trick or treaters last night!

Groovy…. well played. I love haunted/creepy guitar and you nailed this. I do remember you sharing this. Really fun. I might have to loop this next Halloween and play on “11” for the trick or treaters.

You had a bundle of fun there John. Great effects. Eerie, haunting and down right scary!
Anyone else shouting “Don’t go into those woods!…. alone!!….. in the dark!!!…… in a thunderstorm!!!!” 🫣
