thanks for the feedback Robin. yea, I too like the vintage sounds.
mmmmmm - sweet. Well, I like it, DB. You can do something I can't do (well, actually you can do a lot of things with a guitar I can't do....but that's beside the point!) and that's get a nice bluesy tone from a clean setting. I have to rely on a bit of distortion.....
You do get one minus point, however, for making me think I was going to be treated to another pretty good cover of an old Stones classic....
Pretty cool, all the same.
Keep 'em coming, I'll keep on listening.
:D :D :D

thanks mate. you know, I have been scouring my Rolling Stones albums for r and b covers. I may have found one. hang on.
I used my strat plus on this recording. the amp modeler really helped with the tone. I also tried to reproduce the sound I hear on old Sun Record recordings. Sam Phillips experimented quite a bit. so have I. this time around I copied the lead track and added delay to the copy.. I was going for a bit of slapback.
well, i lost my computer to the technicians at work due to a virus problem for a couple of weeks, and decided as i am off this week i would spend a day listening to all the hear hear stuff i had missed. this song is the last one in a nice afternoon of music, but it is definatley a case of last but not least here.
i have been working hard on improving my own blues playing over the last few months and this is a good reminder why - gives me a good goal of the feel i am after. i played it again while posting this, with a beer in my hand looking at my fish tank in a warm living room. Thats living!!

that is living. I am currently in a widowless basement of a museum.
Tell Me is one of my rare originals. the melody sounded familiar to me, however. must be an old memory.
this song is played on my tele in open G tuning.
in the first phrase I picked out a simple pattern. then with two of the following phrases I embellished the first phrase. then the last phrase was a repeat of the first, well almost, to give the piece closure.
I learned alot about keeping things, playing, simple. I learned about the connections between the notes (or intervals).
my next post, I hope, will be an original. either with verse or instrumental.
a while back when I had a fever and was home bound for a few days I spent time listening to Hear Here and then I looked around soundclick and found all kinds of cool players. computers are very cool for this.
your right.
I personally count myself very lucky i live in a time where, if i want to know something, or hear something, i can usually find what i am looking for in a minute.
also, it is really cool people are willing to share what they have done with potentially, the whole world.
my parents wouldnt have dreamed of this when they were my age, i just wonder what my daughter will have access to in 29 years??
hopefully a guitar and a pair of football (soccer) boots :D im sure she'll manage both better than i do :lol:
anyway, i am looking forward to that next origional.

my dad always wanted me to play some cowboy music. imagine my teenage face. well. now a days I love playing cowboy music. too bad my dad is passed away before he heard me.
and , me too, I look forward to my next original..fingers are crossed.
I also missed this one! Nice blues!
The J-station helps but the tone is in your fingers.
