Really well done! Superbly catchy, and that groove is infectious. Got my toe tapping from the get go. Really strong vocals and the instrumentation is lush. I can imagine this sounding fantastic live.

Thanks for sharing smile

Ah, blues... A song form apparently invented to maximize guitar soloing opportunities. grin

Fun listen, nice guitar work.

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

Hi Clifford,

How long is eternity?

Well, at least way longer than the 3:12 of this awesome song, because it's such a pleasure to listen to it that time flies by.

Was wondering what it reminded me of, thne I read that Jum recignized a Carl Perkins flavor. Which immediately had the smell of a burning matchbox creeping up my nose. cool

If that ain't a good tribute.... Very enjoyable and toe-tapping.

Great job on the guitars, and buying that new stuff paid off for me.

Cheers,

Stefan

Thank You so much Stefan, yeah we enjoy the new amp sims in thu, I have a lot of amp sims, we dont really play live much, so recording is the main thing, and i dont really need an amp to do it. I have 3 modeling amps I use live, 50 watt marshall code that I love, 40 watt Fender mustang, love also, and my old trusty peavy vypyr 30 watt. the rest is amp sims, and lots of them. My tube amp days are over, i had a couple of early 70's fender super reverbs and a peavey classic 50 mid 90's. but the weight of them too much. Keep in touch stefan. Cliff

Yes, I'm getting a Carl Perkins vibe from this too. Nothing wrong with that!

Good vocal, nice guitar work too. Guitar could be a little bit louder in the mix for my tastes, but then I probably mix mine too loud :P

I also only use Amp Sims here, much more practical for recording.

Good song, Cliff, enjoyed the listen!

I'm not sure if eternity is real, but I think it's nice to think about immortalization in some way, even if it's only via legacy. Anyways, really good tune! Thanks for sharing.

Cliff and Corey:

Classic blues . . . so well done. Love the hook and that opening verse, and the vocal sits so well in this mix. Cool stuff! Lots to like about this one.

Best regards,

Hi Cliff,

first of all: Sorry for calling you by the wrong name and thanks a lot for your informative reply.

I used to play guitar in a lot of bands, but since I quit my last band decades ago I grab one of my axes very rarely, to be honest: Only when I want to add a solo to one of my videos. And the last time I did that was - shame on me - last October ( TELL ME WHY ) . Today I started to develop a solo for the vid I'm recently working on, but you can imagine what that means: fingers like dough - will take me a couple of days to get them a bit more flexible again frown

I was always planning to sell my old amps, but I don't have the heart to do so. I still got my 100 W Marshall Valve Combo from 1976 and a tiny Fender amp that I love - but both of them would need maintainance, because they sizzle and growl..

For recording I mostly use a smal VOX VT 20 which comes with a software that offerns dozens of amp sims and gives even a blind owl like me the chance to check out different sounds.

I still got a couple of guitars (can you ever have too many guitars?) - the most important ones are: a 1972 Gibson LP Custom (I think), a Jeff Beck Signature Strat and a Mexican Fat Strat with a Floyd Rose trem. In the Sixties (thus at the age of 16 or 17) I owned a Fender Esquire - I should have never sold it, but I did it. A friend just sent me a photo (the only one there is) when I played it, and I could immediately tell that I was playing Hendrix' Let The Good Times Roll smile .

A lot of good times have rolled since then - unfortunately they seem to be coasting to a stop these days... smile

Looking forward to your next song - take care,

Stefan

Jazz, Funk & World (Sets 468-475):
Our new jazz, funk & blues RealTracks include a groovin’ collection of RealTracks and RealDrums! These include more requested “soul jazz” RealTracks featuring artists Neil Swainson (bass), Charles Treadway (organ), Brent Mason (guitar), and Wes Little (drums). There are new “smooth jazz” styles (4), which include a RealTracks first: muted trumpet, as well as slick new smooth jazz brushes options for drums. Blues lovers will be thrilled—there are more “classic acoustic blues” styles, including guitar (5), bass (4), and drums (10) with blues master Colin Linden, featuring understated and tasty background acoustic soloing, plus brushes drums and acoustic bass. There are also new electric blues RealTracks, including electric blues with PG favorite Johnny Hiland (3) and soulful electric slide guitar from Colin Linden (4). If you love funk & gospel, there are great new options this year, including gospel organ (3) from Charles Treadway, as well as new funk, tango, and rock ’n’ roll drums (3) and bass (1). And for big, bold arrangements, we have uptempo soul horns (4) featuring a three-part hip horn section with options for a full mix or stems of each individual horn — plus an accompanying rhythm section (4) of drums, bass, guitar, and electric piano!

Rock & Pop (Sets 476–482):
Our new rock & pop RealTracks bring a powerful mix of requested favorites, fresh genres, and modern chart-inspired styles! We have more of our popular “Producer Layered Acoustic Guitars (15)” featuring Band-in-a-Box favorite Brent Mason. We’ve continued our much-requested disco styles (10), and added new Celtic guitar (5) with a more basic, accessible approach than our previous Drop-D or DADGAD offerings. There are also highly requested yacht rock styles (17), inspired by the smooth, polished soft-rock sound of the late ’70s and early ’80s — laid-back grooves, silky electric pianos, warm textures, elegant harmonic movement, and pristine production aesthetics. Fans of heavier styles will love our new glam metal (13), capturing the flashy, high-energy sound of ’80s arena-ready guitar rock. We also have a set of rootsy modern-folk rock (18), with a warm, organic sound combining contemporary folk textures and driving acoustic strumming. And we’ve added lots of new modern pop styles (16) — the kinds of sounds you’re hearing on the radio today, featuring exciting new drums, synths, and cutting-edge RealTracks arrangements.

Country, & Americana (Sets 483–488):
Our new country & Americana RealTracks deliver a rich collection of acoustic, electric, and roots-inspired styles! We have new country pop (9) with legendary guitarist Brent Mason. There is also a potpourri (14) of bouzouki, guitars, banjo, and more, perfect for adding texture and character to contemporary acoustic arrangements. We’ve added funky country guitar (5) with PG favorite Brent Mason, along with classic pedal steel styles (5) featuring steel great Doug Jernigan. There are more country songwriter styles (8) that provide intimate, rootsy foundations for storytelling and modern Americana writing. Finally, we have “background soloing” acoustic guitar (12) with Brent Mason — simpler, but still very tasty acoustic lines designed to sit beautifully behind vocals or act as a subtle standalone solo part.

Check out all the 202 new RealTracks (in sets 468-488)!

And, if you are looking for more, the 2026 49-PAK (for $49) includes an impressive collection of 20 bonus RealTracks, featuring exciting and inspiring additions to add to your RealTracks library. You'll get new country-rhythm guitar styles from PG Music favorites Johnny Hiland and Brent Mason, along with modern-pop grooves that capture today’s radio-ready sound! There are also new indie-folk styles with guitar, bass, 6-string bass used as a high-chording instrument, acoustic guitar, and banjo. Plus, dedicated "cymbal fills" RealDrums provide an added layer that work very well with low-key folky styles with other percussion.

The 2026 49-PAK is loaded with other great new add-ons as well. Learn more about the 2026 49-PAK!
