You did a great job on this, Scott. Love the guitar tones, you played it perfectly. Love the backing track choose too. It has a smoky, mysterious vibe to it which I liked. I think I speak for us in that we're glad you came back from your hiatus. Great work and thanks for sharing  Thanks Derek. Was going for a bit of a different sound on this one. Thanks for listening. Scott, not bad for first attempt after a "while"... I am kidding, it is great! P.S. The only thing, seems that guitar is peaking somewhat. It might be my ears or soundcloud...I do not know. I am not a pro, so can not recommend anything. My first attempt coming back after about 10 years of divorce from music making was not that nice Thank you, Misha. Thanks Misha for checking this out. Yes shutdown pretty much all of my effects on this one. I usually use a compression sustainer which smooths out my picking. I didn't use it on this one as I want to see what I could get out of the Marshall amp without pushing the tubes too hard. It did clip in a couple of places. Glad you liked the song. I actually redid the guitar parts this month but the backtrack was an old one. I couldn't tell a Gibson from a Strat, but it sounded good to me! Thanks David for checking out the song. This SG is a bit of a wild unruly guitar. I think the pickups maybe overwound a bit as they really respond and go dark when pushed. thanks for checking out the song..

Scott, over the years I have made the mistake time and again trading off a Tele. I always come back and it always takes over the number one spot in the arsenal. Very nice playing. A good easy listening melody. Good mix. I enjoyed it, Tom

Very nice clean tone.
Man, I love my SG. It's a Gibson, circa 1969. Smooth as silk and the tone.... oh my. I currently play a MIC Tele Modern. Trying to work on getting a good sound. The Gibson made it easy. I haven't played it in a while. It really needs to be worked on by a pro.... the frets are getting a bit worn, but.... the luthiers in this area are kind of hesitant to touch it because the binding on the neck has micro cracks from age. They said it won't come off in one piece. So... I don't gig, and only play it on occasion and it will probably not be repaired in my lifetime. I'll play it knowing the shortcomings it has.
I was waiting for "The Thrill is Gone" to come bellowing out of the speakers. Very cool short jam.

Scott, I've always felt the SG is such an under rated instrument. You did a great job here with this one! Nice bluesy feel to the track! Thanks, T Scott, I agree with all Torrey said. You have such a nice touch on the strings. The SG has a bite that's a little tougher than most Gibson. The Les Paul is a little fuller but not quite the same gnarly bit, in my opinion. Super song and performance! Best to you. ALan

Hi Scott, great guitar playing in this one of you as usual. I noted you had my same path. After a long time of playing only with an acoustic guitar, one day I went in the local music shop and bought a second-handed guitar (Stratocaster Highway One) and restarted to play with great enthusiasm. Sergio Thanks Sergio Yes sounds like we both had some time off with our playing. Glad you picked up the guitar as well. You have some great tunes. That last one was a killer tune. Really enjoyed that, Scott.
A nice laid-back band to let your guitar have the limelight. Nicely mix.
Good pickin'.
fj Thanks Floyd for checking out the song. Glad you liked it. Nice little minor blued number Scott!! Almost could be a solo for The Thrill is Gone. Nice tone and playing! Take care. Greg Thanks Greg I dare to step into the genre once an awhile. I do love to hear the blues and really enjoy the free wheeling improvisation of the genre. [quote=PeterF]Nicely played Scott. Some pretty playing on the SG. Peter [/quote Thanks Peter

We agree with Dave...the only nit is that it wasn't long enough!
Wonderfully melodic and that tone is perfecto for the groove.
Nice!!!
J&B
PS Interesting that Gregg mentioned BB. There is something about that tone that is remiscent of him...particularly in the earlier days.

Thanks for checking out the song. The SG sounds great,
40 years is a long time, glad that you picked it up again
enjoyed the listen,
Kenny Thanks Kenny. I am so happy I got back into music again. Glad you liked the song. I had an SG in 74 thru 78, sold if after I got married. Great guitar, first Gibson I ever owned. Of course i wish i still had it, HA. Love this song and playing Scott, That SG is singing on it!!! Cliff Thanks Cliff. My first decent guitar was a 62 Strat and I had a Garnet Amplifier. Sold them both after I finished school. Sure wish I had that guitar. Owning one of those is pretty much out of reach now. Glad you liked the song.

Scott,
Nice playing!
It will be communicated to me that you truly love the guitar.
Your usual delay sound is also attractive, but this straight sound is also very comfortable.
Enjoyed my listen a lot.
Best regards.

First question...after a 40 year hiatus? I get you said you picked it back up about 6 years ago after not for 40. May I asked what happened for those 40 years. I feel the world was robbed of 40 years of your work. I'm sure you have your reasons; and I respect that. I also understand circumstances happen. I just wanted to say, THAT was a long time to be away. Yet, it still sounds amazing. Not many could pull THAT off.
Really great song. I was driving, with a light rain coming down, and it was night time. I played your song,a and it just seemed to fit the mood...or created it. I'm not sure which. All I could think was "Yeah...perfect." Thanks for that experience.
PLEASE keep them comin'. I love what your guitar is saying.
Chad (Hope that makes it easier)

Hi Scott,
a very nice bluesy tune. Reminds me a bit of Peter Green who was guitarist of Fleetwood Mac when they were still a British blues band. I really enjoyed the listen - thank you for giving me some very pleasant minutes.
Cheers, Stefan Thank you Stefan. Peter Green was one of my favorite guitar players as well. So glad you l liked the song. Scott, over the years I have made the mistake time and again trading off a Tele. I always come back and it always takes over the number one spot in the arsenal. Very nice playing. A good easy listening melody. Good mix. I enjoyed it, Tom We have online trading site called Kijiji up here in Canada. There is allot of gear swapping, trading going on constantly. I have probably switch 15 guitars in the last 5 years. Slowing down a bit now tho. My wife is happy about that. :-). Ever guitar has its own personality. Sometime we bond, sometimes not so much. So glad you liked the song.
Some really good sounding blues here Scott!

Thanks so much David. Yes this one will be a keeper. I was lucky to find it. Your comments mean allot to me. Very nice clean tone.

I was waiting for "The Thrill is Gone" to come bellowing out of the speakers. Very cool short jam. Thanks so much Herb. Boy would I like to see your guitar. I don't know but that era of guitar building was some thing so special. I hope you find someone who has the skill to do the frets for you. Some of the luthiers out there have taken the skills to an art form. So glad you liked the song..

Scott, I loved the feel of this song and the muscular tone of your guitar.
Is the correct title Micaber or Micawber?
Cheers, Mike

Cheers, Mike Thanks for checking out the song. The spelling is suppose to be Micawber but I was to late in editing it and couldn't change it. It was named after Keith Richards telecaster. Glad you liked the song. Hi, Scott !

Band-in-a-Box® 2024 Review: 4.75 out of 5 Stars!
If you're looking for a in-depth review of the newest Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows version, you'll definitely find it with Sound-Guy's latest review, Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows Review: Incredible new capabilities to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs.
A few excerpts:
"The Tracks view is possibly the single most powerful addition in 2024 and opens up a new way to edit and generate accompaniments. Combined with the new MultiPicker Library Window, it makes BIAB nearly perfect as an 'intelligent' composer/arranger program."
"MIDI SuperTracks partial generation showing six variations – each time the section is generated it can be instantly auditioned, re-generated or backed out to a previous generation – and you can do this with any track type. This is MAJOR! This takes musical experimentation and honing an arrangement to a new level, and faster than ever."
"Band in a Box continues to be an expansive musical tool-set for both novice and experienced musicians to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs, as well as an extensive educational resource. It is huge, with hundreds of functions, more than any one person is likely to ever use. Yet, so is any DAW that I have used. BIAB can do some things that no DAW does, and this year BIAB has more DAW-like functions than ever."
