Rock Star Not Yesterday my arthritic fretting hand felt really good so I sat down and 4 hours later came up with this quick and dirty jam. BiaB style - Tunnels Liverpool Pop w GTR solo Tempo - 65 BPM I deleted all but the following: Drums - the RD drum track Piano - EZKeys - Electric Grand - preset Standard Bass - Ample Bass - preset - YingYang I am playing my Xaviere 335 HB through Amplitube. Let me know what you think of this 4 hour quick and dirty little jam. All comments are welcomed.

Loved every bit of this!

Cool, simple mix and a feeling-full vibe throughout, the Xavi tone lovely. But what happened re the "4 hour"?! Has your clock or abacus got arthritis, too? 
Some favourite Waoist Adages:

#13: Ask not for whom the flower blooms, it blooms for you.
#58: Bring consciousness to it.
#63: On the road to effortlessness, effort must be made.
#92: Be Love Now, the rest will come on its own.

It's 1969. The Fillmore West is jammed wall-to-wall and up through the balcony. The house lights are down, a spotlight illuminates the guitarist. Audience members raise their lighters and sway gently to the rhythm. The vibrations of Woodstock still echo. The Summer of Love is a not-so-distant memory...
Hey, that's where this song takes ME. So glad you had a window to work on this, it sounds fantastic!

Loved this Mario, got a great late 60's early 70's vibe and tone going on there imo. Excellent job sir👍
Sometimes you just have to say f### it and do it anyway!

I have good days and bad days with arthritis too, one of the joys of getting older I guess.
Sounding good, Mario, nice licks and tone. Enjoyed!

I like those quick and dirty ones too. But I tend to not put them out for public consumption.
At almost 71, I'm just glad I can still pick up a guitar and play without pain.
Good job. That echo really worked nicely on the guitar.
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.

Yeah, I know I oculd listen to anything you create --even it was 4 hours long, but this one is only 4 minutes. Oh, ya mean it took that short of time to make. Great effort, Mario. Good tone and feel. I think I'll listen to it 10 times.

Good job. That echo really worked nicely on the guitar. Thanx Herb. I'm 79 and there are days when I can play guitar and days I can't, or at least not play well. I can't play a lot of the jazz chords that I used to play but at least I can still play barred chords.

Well Bud is older than all who mentioned age ... so there.  Great performances Mario. Love that axe tone with the hair around the edges. Nice dynamic mix too. Really liked the bass with the cutting but still fat tone. Hard to do for me. Excellent! J&B

Hi, Mario. The contrast between the mellow keys intro and the the guitar coming in with a screaming tone had me laughing. Nice melodic playing, with a few harder edged moments.

I also liked the tone of the axe. The guitar was run through a custom Amplitube setting that I made.
