WOW!

This is super. Your guitar tone and chops are outstanding. This sounds like a live jam from Woodstock! Carlos is alive and well!

PS - very nice "Maple Leaf" you have posted also wink

Thank you all guys!
When I was young I composed a few songs like this one... Now I don' t remember anymore those songs.... but this is one of them.
I was curious to see the results using BB. Amazing.

I agree with Greg - David Gilmour meets Carlos Santana is exactly my thought.

You kept things interesting through the length of the song, which is helpful when the song is an extended guitar solo! laugh

Fun listen.

Vocal control, you say. Never heard of it. Is that some kind of ProTools thing?

Ermar,
Fortunately no weed is now necessary for guitar playing like this to give me goosebumps. Nice build and superb tone- well done!

Hi Ermar,

Nice! I see where a lot of folks included references to Santana, and I agree. In the slower parts I also hear a little hint of Gary Moore. Regardless, it's a great song! Best toy ou.

Hi Alan.

Is curious... I didn't knew Gary more at all since one day downloading backing tracks to have some fun I've downloaded 3 or 4 backing tracks of him, and without have never listened the originals songs, I played over those tracks.
After I finished recording, and only then, I listened the originals. This way I discovered Gary Moore.

Now, of course, Gary More is in my car playlist, just near Santana, Pink Floyd and Queen....

I'm trying to replace the backing track of one of the songs of Gary Moore to publish here in the forum my own melodic solo over those chords, but I discovered is not an easy task....

Importing audio into BB and find chords does not work very well with "Still got the blues".... but well,,, I'm still trying... :-)

Thank you for your feedback!

Not that hard to build that type of track, just takes some practice. I would just key in the chords, forget about that import audio function.

Here is one I did seven years ago as a tribute to him after he died. Skip to the very end bit for "still got the blues", around 2:57 or so: Still got the Midnight Blues (Gary Moore Tribute)

Dear "EMG"...

If you created "Weed" while you were high, ohhh, man, but would I ever love to take a nice, long toke on that joint. Ha-ha crazy !!! 'Course, if it was thirty years ago, there probably isn't any of it left to drag on laugh.

Any old way, the fuzz on that guitar solo made me feel like I'd become of victim of electro-music-cution -- Z-Z-ZAP! Glad my hands and feet were dry!

"Stratospheric" and "soaring" are the words I'd use to describe the sound of "Weed". Notice how they bear a synonymous relation to the word "high", as in the effect that powerful music such as yours can have on a listener.

On the up-and-up,

LOREN (a.k.a. "bluage")
