Psycho Guitar

Just some silly playing around with a few RTs and effects - nothing too serious. I put this together one afternoon about 3 or 4 weeks ago. It's only 2:34 in length. Di was napping and I had a little time for music. It's no big thing ... just some fun time for me. I made a few track substitutions from the original style. And, obviously, I added a few affects ... mostly echo/delay and a slight amount of flange. As always any comments welcome.

Sounds great to me, Alan, man, that guitar is great! Nice use of FX on it.

Good instrumental, enjoyed.

BIG snare sound...nice.
I do love some wailing guitar - the FX are subtly done for the most part. Reminds me of a bluesier Santana due to the rhythm.
Nice one.

Yes, quite awesome. Lots of good licks there.

I really liked the vibe created, sounds great.

Alan,

Very well done. Great sound.

Solid mix.

A very good listen.

Alan

Alan, you kept me engaged the whole time. Super mix and arrangement. So well done! Wishing you and Di the best. Stay well, Tom

Funky! Nice recording.

Sounded great, ended too early. Nice work!

Hi Alan
Wow, that is some seriously good 'playing around'.
Regards,
Leon

Hi Alan,

Hey, that was a good afternoon's work!

This is driving music - not country lanes but interstate, or motorway here in England.

A fabulous track and a great mix. The only thing wrong with it?
NOT LONG ENOUGH - I've got a 30 min drive to get to the coast and I want to play it all the way!

Hope you and Di are staying safe and well.
Take care my old friend.

ROG.

Love that tone, Alan. Thanks for sharing the fun. Chop chop, you got chops, man.

Effects sound good on the guitar. Awesome sound overall. I was really in to this---two and a half minutes is too short. I wanted more!

Enjoyable cross-over disco rock, which I haven't much heard, thus this sounds very original in my ears. And that guitarist, amazing - BIAB and your talent make it sound fresh and hot, for some reason this reminded me of Jason Becker. Super mix and great use of effects. Should definitely be much longer

Janne

Beautiful playing Al. The band aint half bad either.
Seriously, you achieved more in an afternoon, while "Di was napping", than I can in days and weeks of work/play.
Thanks for sharing, Al.
Cheers,
Mike

Al, you lit the fuse on this one and it was smokin'! As others said, I wanted more.

Alan

Nice use of real tracks, the guitar sounded nice and coherent and not well played RT licks.
Subtle and well done.

Peter

Alan,
Loved this- that RT guitar solo one of the best I`ve heard... massaged into some nice effects by your skills.
Cool!

Robert

That is soooo cool.

A great groove and the fx are in the pocket
for that sound. Sounds like a melding of the Dead, Santana
and a disco group!

Great idea that worked out amazingly well.

Wow!

J&B

Alan, you should fiddle around more often.

Super work with those RTs and affects.

Are you trying to put us guitarists out of work.

Yeah, you nailed the mix!! Wish I could play like that!! Take care. Greg

Thanks a bunch, everyone ... sure do appreciate those very nice comments!!!

For the couple of folks who asked, or thought it was me on lead guitar ... it wasn't. It's Brent RT I doctored up pretty heavily. Again, many thanks for your time to listen and comment so nicely.

Wishing everyone the very best. Be safe ...

Alan

Alan loved the title. My kind of tune. What a cool piece. Awesome backtrack and playing loved the delay settings. Guitar was just soaring. Tubes where just vibrating. You definitely hit the elusive sweet spot.
