I was experimenting putting some chords into BiaB when I got stumped. So I said, "What would Jon Do". I no more said that when JonD walked through the door! Hence the title.

We collaborated on the chords and brought them into Sonar. JonD wanted to try some leads so I brought up a vibe sound and Jon took off. As he was playing I was recording. He played all the way through! He wanted a couple of guitar leads so he played the chords and I jammed the leads. All parts are first takes with only a couple of punch in and outs. So here it is warts and all!

The style is Amplitube bossa Guitar'kistschy. In typical fashion we kept the drums but deleted all other tracks.

JonD is playing the vibes via his keyboard. I am playing the lead and rhythm guitars and bass parts.

Apparently, Dr Jon was "In The Right Place At The Right Time."

Very nice !

The only suggestion would be to add some Real Drums. There are some sweet Bossa Rhythm Real Drums in Biab.

We might even have some Congas, no?

This has some Santana feel going on, IMO.

Hi Mario,

It's great to see another of your songs in the forum. I always enjoy the opportunity to hear your creations. I congratulate you and Jon on a fine effort. Terrific lead work!

When I read Trax's comments above, I nodded my head in agreement and thought that some of BIAB's conga rhythms could sound great with this. The Realdrums that sprang to mind were BossRockPerc (there are 9 variations that come with that particular Realdrum).

All the best,
Noel

Mario, There are some interesting chord changes going on here. At 2:03, I heard a little Walter Becker influence. You and Jon continue to produce some fine mood pieces. I enjoyed it a lot. Tom

Cool little instrumental!! Has a mysterious but light-hearted feel. I could see it in a Peter Sellers Pink Panther movie. Really nice guitar chops there. Very enjoyable listen Mario!! Take care. Greg
