I kinda of like this one. Di says she likes it, too. But if I sounded like Popeye playing an out-of-tune banjo, she'd say she liked! I had to practice the danged thing forever to get it right! No big story...just playing around on the guitar one day and this is what happened, after a bunch of tweaking. There are a few mistakes but I think i hid them pretty good. But if you listen close, you'll find them. Oh well!!!

Hi Al
Great Instro. Its Sunday morning here and that blew the cobwebs away nicely. sleep
Loved the OD sound. What axe is that and what did you use to get the OD? You certainly work on the fact that if its got 21 frets on the fingerboard - use 'em ALL!! lol!! (unless its a 22 fretter, like mine grin)
If there are any mitskaes in it, I didnt notice - I just enjoyed listening to an accomplished guitarist getting on with it and having fun too. I hope you weren't hurting inside too much.
cheers
ian

Hi Ian...

I've been to England twice, both place both times. I was in Burtonwood, a small village not far from Warrington. Loved it there!

I'm playing an Ibanez ARZ 400 through a Peavey Nashville 112 amp. The overdrive is through a cheap, locally bought pedal. I paid $34.00US for..very, very cheap. It's a FAB Danelctro...no model number. but it gives me quite a bit of distortion and overdrive. It also gives me a lot of sustain.

The pickups on the Ibanez are very hot, so I have to be careful when I'm playing something soft and mellow. that's the only complaint I have with it. It's a bit heavy (sort of a Les Paul knock-off) but the action is very good. I set the action extremely low because of the Country chicken pickin' I do. I get no fret buzz. The fifth string (A) becomes slightly flat at the 11th fret. I really like the clean fingerboard...not cluttered with dots or other inlays. When I get rich, I'll buy me another Gibson ES 355!

I use Ernie Ball Slinky strings but make my own set as follows: .09 - .11 - .13 - .24 - .32 - .44
I love the amp...it's virtually indestructable. It's designed for pedal steel, so i don't have to worry about distortion on the low notes when i'm comping in jazz. Also, all the vocals we've posted here...are sung through that amp, rather than a mixing board. That spring reverb is just so warm and full.

There were three mistakes I kind of covered over. Glad they weren't too apparent!

I guess I've rambled on with much more than you asked for,,,sorry! Hope I adequately answered your question. And yes, I had to use every fret. I really don't like playing down there...no room to work. But, I couldn't get the sound I wanted otherwise. Also, in order to get those really high notes, I had to tune my guitar three frets higher:

G-D-Bb-F-C-G

I immediately retuned it down to its natural tuning in order to take the additional stress off the neck. Thanks again for your kind words! Wishing you a great Sunday. Di says Hi!

Alan

Alan,

Beautiful! The backing tracks are just what they need to be. The mix is nice.

Beautiful tone. And a very lyrical, musical lead. Really enjoyed the listen!

Hi Al,

great tune. Reminded me of Brent Mason who is my favourite in BiaB. 0:48 was the only spot that distracted me.
Your guitar sound is fantastic.
I've never heard of tuning a guitar the way you described.
But it was worthwhile.

Scott,

Thank you very much. Due to some family history over recent years, this song evokes a lot of emotion for me. Poets write poetry...I write music when life is on the downside. Not to worry...I'm fine. I just have moments of reflection that are melancholy. Thank you again!

Alan

Hi Floyd!

Thank you so much for those very kind words. I worked on this for months before I recorded it and still ended up with three noticeable goofs! Di and I believe you are one of the most talented people here, among several others, and we truly appreciate your comments and feedback. Thank you very much!

Al

Guenter..

Guten Abend! I hope all is well with you in your gorgeous city of Karlsruhe. I have spent many days in Karslruhe and Germersheim.

Thank you for the compliments. Any time my name is mentioned with Brent mason...without a frown...I am wonderfully happy! I wish I were only half as good as he is. He's a very nice gentleman, too. We have several friends in common...Mike Baker, Mike Dunbar and John Heinrich. However, those associations don't make me a better guitar player...dang! But you flatter me with that compliment!

Al

Hope my favorite Okie is doing okay. And thank you for your very nice words! Di and i appreciate all the very nice things you have had to say about us in our short time here. Wishing you the very best. Next time we go to Oklahoma, I'll let you know maybe we can get together. That would be great!

Hi Josie...

Thank you very much! It actually sounds much more difficult than it is. Five years ago, I would have been able to get this finished in one or two cuts. But this one took me dozens of attempts. I have Focal Dystonia and it is eroding my playing skills. Soon, I'll be totally dependent on BIAB for all my lead guitar work. I've been playing professionally since July of 1963. Along the way, I picked up 2 or 3 decent licks! Thanks again!

I've been to Africa twice but never South Africa. I've been to Kenya (Nairobi) and Morocco (Rabat, Fez and Casablanca). Perhaps someday I will get to the southern portion of the continent...that would be nice!

Thank you again!

Al

Don,

Yep, we'd do that in heartbeat! I lived in Tulsa from 1999 - 20002. Been there, done that! I also lived in Bakersfield, CA and San Antonio, TX where it gets even hotter than it does in Oklahoma! And we know what the stroke did t you. That wouldn't stop us! friends are who and what they are. We count you among our good friends.

So, we may meet face to face in the foreseeable future! Ya never know! best to you...

Al & Di
