Hello Folks, what I have here is a psichedelic rock/pop improvisation, whith bass and drums provided by Biab. The chords entered were D and C, hence the Topic title :-) Note that the very first accompaniment guitar comes also from Biab, however I've substituted it after the first 8 bars with my guitar. I've played the guitar tracks using a Vox VT20X amplifier, which was recorded through a Sure SM 58 mic placed 30 cm in front of it. Enjoy and let me know what you think. More info on the BiaB instruments and style later. http://soundcloud.com/sergiomarcello/vox-d_c-improvvisazioneRegards, Sergio.

Good Sergio.
Definitely has a 'British Invasion' sound to it.

This reminded me of some of the old jam sessions I used to have. It would have been cool to add some other chords and turn this into more of a song. But it is what it is....
I was catching more of a country vibe from it and a famous Beatles lick take off there at the start.
I used to have one of those Vox VT30 amps... .. It was a handy little low power amp. I had bought it to keep at the church I was attending so I could play there with a decent sounding amp. The amp modeling gave it a bunch of tone and 3 channels that could be pre-programmed made it extremely versatile for that sort of gig. I brought it home a lot to use here.... and for a time my Boogie felt neglected.

Nice Jam. Opening did have a bit of Beatle ring over a Dire Strait Rhythm. That was fun. Enjoyed the song.

The use of the Valvetronix technology gives a rather nice valve flavour to the sound. I agree, some more chords would add much appeal and variation. Let's see.. Best regards, Sergio
