Well, when I heard that Floyd Jane and others had decided to start playing the guitar, I said to myself, I should probably give that a try myself, although initially I was terrified. I have never played the guitar until now, but when I opened my closet, I found an old Telecaster covered in dust and I decided to give a try. But first, I stopped by a local bar and I ran into this kinda witchy-looking woman (cute though). I asked if I could take a picture of her with my cell phone, and she said, sure, she had been in a lot of pics, and if you double click on the sound cloud photo, you will get a better idea of her overall vibe. Afterwards, I told her I wanted to play the guitar but I was afraid people would laugh at me. Her eyes sparkled and she gave me a weird smile, and said she could give me the "dark arts" but there would be a price. I said what the hell and she gave me a piece of paper to sign. I have no idea what I signed, but I guess it doesn't matter. Oh, by the way, she was wearing tight skinny jeans and her last words to me, as she tucked a thumb inside her waistband were this: "Just remember, sweetie. There is a fire down below." I hope I am not in trouble.

"Misirlou" on acid! Man, you've got that Tele CRANKIN'. Love the spiky tone and the almost-but-not-quite-off-the-rails development. That drunken organ is very cool, too. Inspired, mad and magnificent. Hats off, AGAIN....

Hi David,
I saw your song on the forum, wanted to push the play button, then saw your reaction on my 'Fools'. song.
Had to read that first, of course. Thanks for it!
Then I read the intro for your song and had to smile. I also looked at both my acoustic guitars, but pushed the play button for your song with that intriguing title.
For someone who says he hasn't played in a while, you made a remarkable noise and fuzz on your guitar. And... fast and also in tune!
You made a very good song and your playing is very good. I can't copy you (anymore). But to be honest, I would have enjoyed it more if you used your vocals too.
Not for moaning or groaning, but to let the world know why they should listen to your lyrics (and your typicall vocals, of course)!!!
Keep the fire burning, man!
Hans

David,
fun stuff.
I love the dissonant bits particularly - what is a "bend" but moving through dissonance to harmony.
My fave at that particular Dark Art is Robert Quine.
I enjoyed the rave/blast/jam.
THANKS!
Cheers

After that very amusing preamble, I pushed play and got a long guitar intro.
What happened to the vocal? Did the witch steal it? Don't trust them.
I did enjoy the long guitar intro though and thought it sounded great with the dust on.

Ah, you're going to hell for sure, David. This outstanding work of art will attract many followers for sure. Actually it's so good , you're bound to get a repreive. That contract will be nullified for sure by its pure heavenly execution. Hey, are you playing the piano? DId you sign the addendum too? That dusty tele sounds like it's being played by a helleva guitarist with burning fingers.

Hey thanks DC!
I am glad you liked it!
By the way, there is an 7-foot tall man in a long black coat on my porch with a contract in his hand. He's been knocking on my door. That cute girl is with him, wearing exactly the same outfit she was wearing last time.
Any idea what's going on?

Any idea what's going on? You didn't happen to sign that contract when you were at the crossroads, did you? That would explain the Tele on this tune...

LOL, your description and the other comments have me laughing out loud. While not my cup of tea, we should all be so lucky as to pick up an instrument and do that with it. Jimmy would be proud.

Man, your entire effort on the guitar is cohesively chaotic ... in the good way. But your write up and the responses are equally priceless. Genuine no BS LOL. FUN to the max! J&B

Hi, David. It's about time you gave up on that classical guitar stuff and played some real guitar. When was the last time you heard a classical guitarist bend notes like that? Sounds like you might need a good lawyer. I hear there's this Daniel Webster fella who might be able to help. If not, you might consider taking up residence in New Hampshire.  Fun listen!

That's some fancy picking.
You can find my music at: www.herbhartley.comAdd nothing that adds nothing to the music. You can make excuses or you can make progress but not both. The magic you are looking for is in the work you are avoiding.

Wow that was a wild tune David. Channeling Neil Young in his Crazy Horse Days. Well done.
