Posted By: Scott C Lazy Day Blues - 05/26/20 12:00 AM
Here a new song. Was playing with my favorite chords and this on popped up. This is more of a jam than a song. Was just sort of improvising against a repeating backtrack
Not sure why I called it a Blues song as started out with a cbalad style..
As I was mixing it kind of reminded me of the songs from the movie Young Guns.

Nice. I hear Bad Company and Marshall Tucker Band style guitar playing. Lovely sound you are putting out there.

Some lovely tone from the guitar signal chain...that throaty sound you drop into every now and then is F.A.B. Scott!

Hi Scott,

Very atmospheric backing track and a fabulous tone on the guitar.
Some great phrasing - very expressive.

Nicely done.

The only nit we have is that it is but three minutes long!

It is much more textured and nuanced than what we
consider a jam ... very melodic and even cinematic.

We enjoyed it!

I think I would call this more of an instrumental than a jam. But, whatever you want to call it, I like it!

Great tone, phrasing, and choice of notes. I also like the backing track you created, sets a nice mood.

A nice instrumental, Scott.

Enjoyed the listen.

Thanks rayc for checking out the song. This guitar has a very special character. It just had its forty-ith birthday. I was resurrected by a friend as it came to him in very bad condition. I was lucky that he had a weak moment and it came my way.

Hi Scott,

I think the title is just good. It's a relaxing instrumental with a very well played solo (and a lovely slide in it).
You performed well in this 'jam' of yours. But don't call it like that. It's a song!
Of course I prefer vocals in a song. I imagine a nice bariton voice will do.
But who cares; without it your song worked out wonderfull on a stressed mind (and even on a non-stressed mind )!

Scott,

A very cool guitar duet ( the slide in a support role we don`t hear often from you). Love that change of tone at 1:50... then it gets quite Western in a spacey way.
Nice!

Robert

Nicely done, pretty backing and inventive playing throughout including the whammy stuff, and a lovely tone.

Well done Scott!! Brings me back to the 60's/70's where I like to stay!! Sweet and stylish!! Take care. Greg

I agree it has a very southern rock feel. Nice jam!

Thanks Janice and Bud. Thanks for the kind words. It did clip this one down a bit as it is a bit repetitive .

Thanks Dave I have a few of these types of song that I play to each day. Always fiddling with the effects and amps. I can get carried away playing the same phrases so that why I kind of leaned towards a jam on this one

Very nice, Scott. You are talking to us!

Something in that progression almost had me singing "Can't you see, Can't you see What that woman's been doin' to me." I am one of those rare beings who has never seen Young Guns, so I'll take your word for it. This sings very, very nicely. My only beef--I was hoping for a longer fade. Don't get me wrong...I like the fact that it faded, but after all that angst building I just wanted a slower let-down. No worries, though. I'm just like that. Very much dug into this one.

Nice tones. Very melodic.

Hi Scott
Lovely guitar tone. Although there are no words, I found myself wanting to sing along, which leads me to agree with others that this is more than just a jam.
Regards,
Leon

Scott, that is one sweet sounding axe! And you make it talk!

An outstanding instrumental.

Hi Scott, nice instrumental. I don't remember the Young Guns track although I have watched it a few times. Nevertheless a good theme for a modern western indeed.

Thanks Hans for checking out the song. Will have a chat with Robert to see if it has potential for a lyric. Glad you liked the song. Your comments are very much appreciated

Thanks Peter glad you liked the song.

Ah the 60's and 70's were such an awesome time. If find my thoughts go back there quite often. Glad you liked the song

Scott - Very nicely done. Super smooth and expressive guitar. Those slides really enhanced it too. I'm definitely getting some Kansas vibes in there at different points, and also some Bon Jovi influence. The only thing I can add is that I wish it were mixed a bit louder and up front, but it could just be these cheap headphones I'm using at the moment. Regardless, it flows like melted butter.

Thanks for checking out the song. Would love to have a vocal and lyric created for the song. This song is actually much longer. This is in my regular play rotation. I clipped it down as sometimes if the instrumentals go past 3 mins they can be tiring with the repetition. Glad you liked it.
