Bad Day Blues Dm

My Tokai looked sad and neglected. :tears:

I was feeling sad and dispirited. :sad:

We got together with an Althrax BT in Dm. Tried to play melody and ...

... we tried to play some tears. Might not be too pretty, but tears aren't pretty.

Re: Moon thingy jazz swing stuff

Still probably too many notes, particularly later on, but the tone is better. I think. :roll: Is guitar slightly too high in mix? Aaaaargh! :wall: http://12bar.de/community/download/file.php?id=218 Well done, in this rendition I think there is just a little to much reverb present. The BT is so busy...

Re: El Mano The Show Must Go On

Very difficult to find the right words for this sort of thing even in your own language. You put your thoughts across well ElMano. Your playing captures the mood - Black Betty did well. We are all like ducks in a fairground shooting gallery with some sod taking pot shots at us all - I hate it. We've...

They both sound fine to my ears....To me, it's all about staying in the pocket and not losing your concentration because why pore over what you've played when the next time you record to this bt you're going to come up with something entirely different. Good stuff VB. Good point. :thumbsup: I just ...

Re: Moon thingy jazz swing stuff

Oke Viking Blues Keep your head up :D It is not bad at all. Maybe a bit bizzy. I have listen to the "original" and if i may give a you suggestion The guitar is like a butterfly in the wind, and follow the strong lines in the melody. The voice in the original fill just the holes when the w...

Moon thingy jazz swing stuff

I'm really not sure tonight. :icon_whoknows: Maybe it's Sunday night blues. :tears: I had a go at a backing track I started listening to two or three days ago. It's based on Van Morrison Moondance, which I believe would be classed as Jazz Swing? Please feel free to correct me if it isn't. however it...

Re: After holiday jam

Sounds like someone is well refreshed after their holiday. Beautiful tone and note choices. Played with passion and feeling - I'd forgotten what those bends and vibrato specials sounded like in the last few weeks. I detect a guitar happy that her soulmate is home. :clap: :clap: The resident professi...

That's a good looking and very individual looking guitar HBL! :drool: I guess from how little I see about it on-line, and mostly on pages that need translating that it's a bit of a rarity. The odd broken link for posts with auction - rare etc in the text maybe also make me think that. Good luck with...

Re: Strat Project Diary

Hi VB, Check out pictures of the ADAM BLACK LIBRA UK in scar red. I have one. It has a canadian ash body and there has been no attempt to get rid of the 'heavy graining'. Yet it looks stunning. I don't know what finish they've used, but, if it appeals, I'm sure you could get in touch. They are base...

Re: Rollin' & Tumblin'

Bluesinbflat is right, your playing sounds more confident and assertive on this one. I like how you make a nod toward the main riff, then play off of it. Nice bluesy feel to it (kind of a "British blues" feel to it). (no offense intended. I don't know if you Scots have the same aversion t...
