geoffbyrne Posted December 12, 2011 Share Posted December 12, 2011 (edited) A couple of 'sketches' I clobbered together while up in Scotland for a few days. There was a hurricane blowing through (peak gust = 165mph!) so I kept my head down that night & popped these onto the Fostex. They are not perfect, some inaccuracies, but just working out an idea or two. I don't usually play slide & I forgot to bring a plectrum (pick to you transatlantic guys) so I played lead in 'All Right By Me' using my fingers & improvised the solo. I used a plastic paper clip in 'Straw In Your Hair' and I don't usually play slide, but it seemed right for this. I didn't mean to leave 36 in the middle, but suffered a 'Zen' moment listening to my own music & missed the 'in'(!!!). Fostex MR-8 fed through a Digitech Genesis 1. Yamaha G5A bass with RBX365 pickups. Custom Strat with DiMarzio TDS1s bridge & neck with a Levenson Blade centre pickup. EV microphone. (Can't I embed Soundcloud here?) I've added these to my Soundcloud & Soundclick accounts. Have to say I think the sound quality is better with Soundclick - headphones desireable here.

Nibody Posted December 13, 2011 Share Posted December 13, 2011 Good stuff. More than slightly jealous as I can string together about 5 chords on guitar with no hope of any form of coherent lead guitar playing, and thats the limit (but then bass has always been my thing).

geoffbyrne Posted December 14, 2011 Author Share Posted December 14, 2011 (edited) I've played guitar in bands since 1959 - I'm an OK rhythm guitarist but hopeless at the blues-type improv people seem to want these days. I've been playing bass for about 7 years. One of my bands(!) is a Country Rock trio (2 guitars & bass - no drums) with a couple of young lads from Hinkley - not too far from Tamworth, I think(?). G.

G. [/quote] Yes, we're just down the A5 past Nuneaton and Atherstone. I like a bit of country rock when I'm not listening to the heavier stuff - Counting Crows, Matchbox 20, to the Aussie/NZ version (Crowded House/Mutton Birds). Not suprising I suppose as my folks were "Folkies" - grew up on Tom Paxton/Tim Buckley/Donovan/The Band et al. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
