Yes it has been a while...
So I'm glad you put a new one up...
I always enjoy hearing your work...
Overall you've created shimmering effect on this one...
Very laid back, warm, & nicely done...
I've enjoyed listening to it several times this morning...
Good job!

Scott

An unmistakable sound, and some nice use of the Whammy pedal, make for a pleasant listening experience.

Nice backing and playing, on an enjoyable track.

Your guitar and the Whammy get along just fine.

Scott, that was some pretty awesome chops! Super tone on that Strat!

Great job on this one!

Those Strawberry Fields flutes grab ya from the start and your playing to them worked very well. Nice work!

Thanks Torrey. Glad you liked the song. This are my favorite guitar chord progressions to play to.

Scott,

Very "soothing". Smooth playing and a nice "subtle" background for it.

I enjoyed the listen.

Thanks Ed. Glad you liked the song. This is a very interesting effect pedal. Lots of ideas for it..

Man, is that ever smooth.

It so easily brings images of a gentle streams or wildflowers swaying in a breeze.

Just lovely. Great performance Scott! The digital effect pedal was standout.

Scott,
I like the delicate lyrical runs you make on a really good progression. The whammy makes such nice rising ending notes!
The style reminds me of lying in a field cloud gazing while stoned... on life, of course!

Dig Whammy can be the best or the worst depending on the mind set of the player - you did a cool job over a Beatlesque backing (tron style flutes that is).
Posted By: Birchwood Re: Whammy - 08/14/19 09:12 AM
A splendid solo, Scott. It makes Whammy taste yummy! (for the rhyming).

That beginning of your song (the electronic interference), did you do that on purpose? I liked it. Sounded like an old fashioned amplifier, Reminded me of the old days...

Posted By: Deryk - PG Music Re: Whammy - 08/14/19 11:11 AM
Nice work on this one, Scott smile It's a really solid jam, and the soloing leaves nothing to be desired. It has a great flow and is really easy to take. It's quite gentle and calming to listen to, I found.

Thanks for sharing!
Posted By: BlueAttitude Re: Whammy - 08/14/19 11:52 AM
Very cool, Scott! You get some neat sounds from that pedal, I'll need to look into getting one one of these days.

Nice mood, nice playing.

Enjoyed the listen!
Posted By: Tangmo Re: Whammy - 08/14/19 09:27 PM
There was sort of an unexpected Island feel to this...Polynesia, to be more exact. Anyway, a very relaxing piece that just let me float away for a few minutes, so I had to go back for another float. Ahhhh.
Posted By: Crossroads Re: Whammy - 08/15/19 09:54 AM
Hi Scott,

this sure is different - very, very cool. Like TuneMonger I was immediately reminded on the Strawberry Fields Forever synth sound (dis they already have synths then...?)

The backing track is very nice and I love what and how you play. The whammy sound is great as well.

Really nice, enjoyed the listen a lot!

Stefan

Nice work on this Scott! Really dug the synth flutes too, they're a nice touch. Thanks for sharing!

Loved the Whammy jammy! As others have stated, great guitar work and I dig the effect. Song is simultaneously comforting and electrifying.

Thanks so much for checking out the song. Funny as I was putting the song through a bunch of styles I randomly picked this one and when I heard the flutes I sat straight up. It too reminded me of the Beatles. Glad you liked the song

Lol thank you Robert. I seem to regress to these tunes when stuck inside while its constantly raining outside. Does present some relief from a gloomy date. Glad you liked the song. Getting high on life is the way to go even if the other stuff is legal now ;-)..

Yes I agree on the effect. I have been trying to get to know this little fella. It definitely has some interesting sounds. Will be interesting down the road to see where it can fit in and complement the song. Thanks Ray glad you liked the song.
Been loving your collabs as well
Posted By: Al-David Re: Whammy - 08/18/19 03:56 PM
Hi Scott ...


I have to agree with all that's been said. A cool sound ... relaxing, dreamy and throws your cares right out the window. Enjoyed this a bunch. I've never had or used a Whammy pedal ... will have to check it out. Don't know a thing about it ... except that you created a wonderful sound with it.

Best to you ...

Alan

Really like the ElectroFlutes - sounds like flute Mellowtron. Three minutes goes by fast when listening to a well played track.

Thank you Hans for the kind words. I think the interference at the beginning was some dissonance between the real tracks. Gld you liked the song

hi scott nice clean sound is that accel pedal your using or whammy bar enjoyed my listen cool tune eric

Thanks Eric. The pitch changes are done with a pedal manufactured by Digitech. This one is the V5. Has lots of other cool pitch tones that may show up in some new songs :-)

Scott,

Love your tone... The mix sounds awesome and it certainly does have that "jam" feel.

Bob
Posted By: dcuny Re: Whammy - 08/24/19 12:42 PM
Cool! Not what I was expecting for a jam track, which was nice. Despite the strong connection to "Strawberry Fields", you made those Mellotron flutes your own.

FYI: I noticed there's an odd clicking at the intro just after the count-in, like some sort of encoding artifact. I listening using a couple browsers, just to make sure it wasn't a one-off thing.

Thanks David for checking out the song. Yes I didn't clip out all the count in at the first of the song and there is a bit of dissonance between two of the chord changes at the bigging of the song. Will fix it after the song fades of the main pages...

Nice one Scott!! Love the Beatlish electroflutes! Nice playing....Really dreamy sound! Enjoyed!! Take care. Greg

Scott,

Your guitar and the Whammy get along just fine.
Strawberry Fields Forever flutes fit this tune very well.
Enjoyed my listen a lot.

Best regards.

Hi Scott,

I always enjoy our lyrical works. I found this a pleasantly comfortable listen. For some reason it reminded me of Acker Bilk's "Stranger On The Shore"... not because they are musically similar but because your playing, like Acker Bilk's, made me feel relaxed as I sat here and listened.

All the best,
Noel

Oh wow. Right up my alley, this one. Totally to my taste - and your performance is (objectively so, for me) nothing short of brilliant. It's as if that guitar talks to me! Well done.
Posted By: Ember - PG Music Re: Whammy - 09/14/19 04:47 PM
The solo in this sounds really awesome. Great use of RealTracks!
