Yeah! Great playing on this, love your tone and phrasing. A fun track for sure!

What BIAB tracks are you using for the backtrack? Also would be interested in what you are playing your guitar through if you don't mind sharing?

1419 Bass 2619 Organ RD Rock Texas Drums 657 Guitar 660 Guitar 673 Organ 2634 Guitar. I'm using direct input to the computer on the lead Guitar, with these fx ................ Studio Devil Amp Hard Rock Lead w/ speaker sym 4x12 1960, Stereo Delay 600ms left 300ms right (7% Left 21% right mix), brainworx bx cleansweep V2 (Rock Guitar Solo setting)..... Reverse Delay (lightly mixed)... Spin Box (Hammond wood cab) and lots of left to right panning. The whammy parts were augmented with a slow down to produce a deeper dive, as was the ending on everything but drums. Was experimenting using rests instead of shots for the song breaks, seemed to sound more realistic to me.
Thank-Cue for listening
Tommy

Thank You for our kind words! Played a few times with Stevie, saw Hendrix a few times, so I may have stolen some licks.

Yep, I agree, that was a fun jam. Everything sounded pretty good.

Yeah, that's some nice playing too.

The experimentation aspect seems to have worked well. Rests worked well, and that whammy dive was pretty cool, augmented by the slow down.

The amp sim was fairly decent. I've never been an amp sim fan. I tried them but could never seem to get a good sound that I was satisfied with in the box. The guitar part had a bit of a boxy sound quality to the overall guitar's EQ. The other things, bass, drums, B3, sounded good as far as EQ goes. I would have liked to hear the guitar a bit more open and with some air and space around it, but as it is, it's not a show stopper though by any manner.

Nicely done.

It was in the early 70's, everybody who played blues in Austin jammed with everyone else at some point or another. Lots of bands weren't always using the exact same people every gig, and you played with whoever had a paying gig or a great party to attend. I still get calls to play clubs even though I haven't played them in 16 years, now daze I just wanna have some fun with my Biab.
