Dreaming of Aeolian

Post by VikingBlues »

Just a piece of trivia, amidst the great live recordings being posted up - trying to play a tune or two. :icon_whoknows:

David Wallimann Backing Track from JamPlay called Knopflers Aeolian Dream. I'm afraid you don't get any Knopfler with this - just VB. :sad:

Hagstrom Viking Deluxe on lead + a second rhythm guitar with the Hagstrom panned left to add to the rhythm guitar already on the BT.

I think this could be extended to a full song with words ... not just now though. :yawn:

Well you have commented several times about me achieving a Peter Green sound on my recordings, I have to say this sounds very Greeny in places, but the more recent Green playing. This could have been a Splinter Group song easily with Peter's raspy vocals on it.
Nicely executed and fluent playing throughout.
"You Only Live But Once, When Your Dead Your Done...So Let The Good Times Roll" - B.B. King
"I'm So Lonesome I Don't Even Have Me No Friend, I've Done So Much Crying Will I Ever Laugh Again" - Peter Green

:D Thank you 2WheelsOfBlues - I appreciate your comments a lot. Silly isn't it - I spent a lot of years without any sound to call my own and now I'm starting to get one I start to apologise for not sounding like other players. :think:

Cheers Mike - I was NOT expecting to see the name "Greeny" come up in connection with this recording. But it's very welcome - if I can get even a hint of Peter Green (Splinter Group or any era) to my playing I'm exceeding my expectations. :thumbsup:

I think it'll be worth revisiting with some vocals - assuming I can get any inspiration for the words, and can wrestle with extending the BT.

Thank you HBL - sincerely. :shy:

Can't play fast, so I've got to try tone and feeling if I can.

I can sympathize... You definitely have a recognizable sound though. This is a leg up on most other players that I know, even ones who gig regularly and think that they are hot stuff.
Keep up the good work. :thumbsup:
