Was playing with a new adoption :-) and seeing what kind of noises it could make. Also Ed Shaw had mentioned that he was experimenting with a wah pedal so I turned on a couple of effects and put a simple blues jam together. Came up with the title after reading an article on a lawsuit being settled with some of the members of Procal Harem. Hope they don't mind the play on words

Yeah! Awesome, Scott. Some great licks happening, and very fluid lines too.

339 looks great, I thought it was a 335 at first from the pic over on soundcloud.

Good stuff!

Thanks Dave for checking out the song. I really like the small body guitar which directed me to the es339. Small guitar with a really deep rich tone.

Hi Scott,

I don't think they'll mind, are they all still alive by the way? ;-)
again a very thorough and thick guitar sound you've produced.
Beautiful!

Nice, Scott!

Scott, I liked the guitar tone. Those 339's are sweet! The steel was a very odd choice for a blues tune and surprisingly it worked well. Great playing. Well done. Tom

Hi Scott,

I (Alan) had a 335 & a 175 back in the 60's and 70's - wish I had them now! The slightly smaller body of the 339, in my opinion, lends it slightly better for rock than the 335 - but either one works for me!

Nice blues number - somewhat reminiscent of early SRV. Nice licks and great sound!

Alan & Di
