Brought up the tempo a bit on this song. This is more experimentation with guitar and synths. The bike in the picture in Soundcloud is my brother. He spends the winters cruising the El Centro California area while I am up here in Northern Canada shoveling snow. :-) Turn It Up The Band Bass 387,#Electric, Metal Ev 085 Drums RealDrums Nashville Even8^a:Snare,HiHat Open, b:Snare, Ride Guitar 496 Electric Rhythm StonesZ Honky Ev120 Guitar 502, Electric Rhythm StonesZ Honky Ev120 Style_SZHonky.Sty StonesZ Honky Guitar was a Les Paul, Two amps one through a pedal board the other amp dry and blended together.

The DAW plugin works so good with Studio One. Well done PG Music. You hit the ball out of the park with this version..

I like anything with the Stones in it. Great guitar playing. You've actually captured what riding a bike through the El Centro California area would sound like to me.
Good one.

Nice instrumental, Scott, I like the theme you came up with. Also like the synth work, very effective. Enjoyed! We have had quite a bit more snow than normal here also this year. My shovel has been getting a workout!

Scott,
A great sounding instrumental. Nice playing.
Good mix. Cool pumpin' Bass.
That's a great idea to export the RealDrum MIDI and use Impact with it...
Nice!

Scott, I like the different guitar textures you have going on here! The song lends itself to imagine wide open spaces presented in the SC pic! Nice mix with a pretty flowing melody! Thanks, Torrey

Scott...really liked the style and texture of this piece...it certainly had a California vibe to it...you (of coarse) are always exceptional on your leads and the sound that you got from the double amps is great...I love listening to your songs!

The change is guitar voice is cool though the 2nd seemed a fair bit louder than the 1st.
You've an easily recognized style Scott...a more relaxed Hank B Marvin?

Hi Scott,
This is a cool rocker you've made! In a certain way the Californian version of Rawhide (just kidding...).
Very nice rhythm and cool use of the synth. And of course your so recognizable lead guitar. No doubt it is Scottish!
Nice day,
Hans

Haha. My brother plays Winter golf in Florida while I enjoy the changing seasons in the north. I like the bike. YES!! I really like your guitar/synth experiment, Scott. Man, I'd love your guitars anywhere and with anyone. Very creative and smooth.

We have had quite a bit more snow than normal here also this year. My shovel has been getting a workout! Thanks Dave for checking out the song. My brother had been posting pictures and videos with his gopro camera of his rides through the mountains and desert in Southern California. Was trying to whip up some copyright free songs for him. Was a little fun turning up the gain for a bit. :-)..

All those open fifths gives it a Western flavor - perfect for rolling along through heat of Southern California.
I like it - the change near the end worked really well.

A nice ride!
Enjoyed that.

Hi Scott C,
It's a very nice instrumental composition that you offer us. I love the sound of your solo guitar that makes me dream of wide open spaces and the musical notes associated with them. I appreciated. Well done. thank for the sharing.
