Original guitar instrumental by Bob Buford from the uncoming CD, "Redneck Deluxe." All tracks are BIAB except the Fender Nashville Telecaster.

I grew up with the sounds of Duane Eddy in our house, my mom was a huge fan and had all the records. BIAB makes it possible to create projects like this whenever the urge strikes. Many more to come, no doubt.

Enjoy, Bob

Very cool Bob!

But "Redneck?"

Sounds pretty smooth to me. I would humbly suggest this is too good and too well produced to be true redneck. It is bordering on redneck classical.

If you want real "redneck" you may want to go here.

That link sounds like Southern Rock stuff...a little "Outlaws".

My redneck reference is more about me than the song. "BUFORD" duh! The quintessential redneck name. Perhaps "Redneck Royalty"? Haha

Thanks for the comments. Glad you liked it.

If you want to produce a compilation CD of your buddies called "Redneck Royalty" count me in, sir!!!! I can see a picture of you on a throne in the back of a flatbed with a crown on your head and tele in your lap.

The only problem we will have is deciding how to divide up the 5 million dollars in royalties we will get if we strike true Redneck pay dirt.

I may even be able to get Tater Totts on the phone.

Let's just say we are related.

Being from NC I'll bet you know at least one person with the name Buford...first, last, or BOTH!

Excellent tune. Loved the tone settings on the guitar.

I know 30 of them and they all want to be on our record.

They also all carry baseball bats with them where ever they go so I don't think we will have to worry about anyone stealing our gear.

I really enjoyed listening to this. That guitar has such authority and emotional punch.

Thanks Scott. Saw your post on SoundCloud also. Appreciate your nice comments.

Thanks for listening,
Bob

Oh man! Hilarious. All the ones I know are pulpwood truck drivers. LOL Not really. Gen John Buford (Gettysburg) was a relative. Can't swing a dead cat in your neck of the woods without hittin' one of 'em.

Just so they can play and sing. We'll all have a good time. Kill a deer or something; roast a hog.

Thanks for listening,

Hi Marty,

Glad you liked it. I ran the Fender Tele through a little Vox portable practice amp. with built in effects. It sounded so good I took a line out to the board and recorded it. It's just a slap back delay and some compression. Really bites.

Thanks for listening,
Bob

Bob,
Smoooth guitar tone with a nice "bite" as you say... could be driving music, or even cattle driving soundtrack music- either way very enjoyable!

Robert

3 pick ups in a tele isn't fair. You can't do that. It's against the rules. You lose points for that. But, you scored extra for the schweet tone. So, I guess, you still get a gold star.

Bob,
Very nice composition lovely tone & well played.
Can't ask for much more in a guitar instrumental.

Peter

Hey Robert... Glad you liked it. I prefer to use the song in my iPod when I'm in a cattle driving mood.

That compressor is turned up pretty good. Keeps everything nice and even. Also gives it that "pick pop" dynamic. Fun to play.

Thanks for listening,
Bob

Oh, but Tobias...it get's SO much MORE unfair. The Tele actually has a Fishman acoustic pickup in the BRIDGE!! So FOUR pickups, tons of tones. Totally unfair. The Tele in the vid isn't the one I used on the song. Here it is. Four pickups and active electronics. Blistering.



Thanks for listening,
Bob

Hi Peter... Thanks. Glad you liked it. I think a lot of the tone also comes from the light top / heavy bottom D'addario Jazz Rock string set. Makes for BIG BASS notes. The set normally is 11-14-18-28-38-49, but we add a 9 and throw out the 18 so it becomes 9-11-14-28-38-49. Also really works great for pedal steel guitar licks as the light tops bend very easily.

Thanks for listening,
Bob

Nice! Very old school but with a modern twist to make things interesting.

Tele sounds great! I was having a read through the posts above and saw the picture and your description of it. I've been a strat guy forever, since '74, but just recently started getting into tele's.

Hey Dave,

That's me: "Old School" I just can't seem to get past loving that tremolo. So you KNOW I love that "Twin Peaks" TV show theme. Stuck in a time warp.

I'm also a Strat fan. I blocked the trem on one of 'em for country style playing. Figured if Clapton could do it...

BTW...like the stuff you're posting. Just read your latest. Nice work. Was looking thru your ReverbNation site. So is "Blue Attitude" the name of your band? Some good things in there.

Thanks for listening,
Bob

Nice little tune there Bob!! Well done! Is the pic the cover for the CD? Very cool! Love the title. Enjoyed!!

Thanks, Greg. The cover pic will PROBABLY be a version of what's shown on the YouTube vid. There is another pic here in the posts that is of the actual guitar I played which is not the cover pic.

Thanks for listening,
Bob

Exactly.

I too grew up with Duane Eddy...thinking of Rebel Rouser and Peter Gunn as I type.

You've got the vibe nailed with enough of your touch to make it sound refreshing.

This is really good and fun to listen to. Film score??

J&B

Hey folks,

How about Forty Miles of Bad Road, and Guitar Man? Great stuff! And fun to play. Appreciate your nice comments.

Thanks for listening,
Bob

Great tune Bob!
Somehow this music reminds us of Rawhide, the American Western TV series starring Clint Eastwood.
And we also like Duane Eddy very much.

Rob and Anne-Marie

Hi Folks,

Yep definitely has that "spaghetti-western" thing going. A musician friend of mine was listening to it while a James Bond movie was on. He thought it would have been a great theme. Have you ever heard the opening theme for the TV show "Twin Peaks"? Check it out on YouTube. Haunting...just like the show.
