https://soundcloud.com/bruce-boome/afterglow My latest tune in a series inspired by making love. Apparently, lots of babies have been conceived to the music of Fourplay, my favourite (sorry, that's the English- i.e. correct, spelling) bands in that genre smile . I don't often use styles, I prefer mixing and matching, but in this case I used Jazz Funk Groovin with Moving Drums, and added brass, a pad and congas. I played the guitar using my '71 Washburn HB35 with Tonerider Rocksong pickups through my Line6 Toneport UX2, using my own program. I put everything into Sonar, and did audio edits to get those phrases that BIAB isn't capable of. Everything but my guitar is BIAB. Hope you like it.

Nice tone very relaxed feel and melodic - like the pauses and accents and quality runs.
Just googled you out of interest given the quality of the track listening to "Master Jack" on youtube.

I really liked some of the timing stops. The brass sitting nicely behind was well positioned too.

A great tune. Well done.

Man,

Let me see if I get this straight, because it may be a first in the history of the BIAB forum.

I read your notes on Soundcloud.

Are you asking us all to go..........and then turn on this tune and lie back and smoke a cigarette while we savor the smooth jazz afterglow, like they do in the French movies?

Is that what you just said?

Because if you did say it, I say:

"Oh be-haaaave! Ms. Kensington!!!!!! I promise not to touch you....unlesss you want me too!!!!!!"


No seriously man, Mr. Burt Bacharach would be proud.
