Re-imagined using Band In A Box to create a 'live band' performance feel to the backing. Hands these days can't play the palm muted parts very well so WYHIWYG. https://youtu.be/D3Rs8rrK1Os Started with BLANK 4/4 STYLE - RealTracks in song: 683:Bass, Electric, PopHalfNotesPush Ev 120 RealTracks in song: 686:Organ, B3, Background Pop Ev 120 RealTracks in song: 1175:Guitar, Acoustic, Rhythm PopCalypso Ev 100 MIDI SuperTracks in song: 1804:Synth Pad, PopUplift Ev 120 RealTracks in song: 2293:Horn Section, Rhythm PopPads Ev 130 RealDrums in Song:PopRock8ths^05-a:Closed Hat, Sidestick, b:Open Hat, Snare Bests Ian Old Guys Rule.The older I get,the better I was!

You sir are a true guitar talent. that's one of my fav all time instrumentals. yep that palm muting is a tad fiddly … BUT you did STELLAR !! ive played along to that so many times for fun, but never been able to nail the tone like you did. so if you want to share your sig chain …preferably a cheap solution for us poorer …lol…i'm all ears. i would be over the moon if pg offered a plug in for bb n' rb for gtr players that produced that classic tone. ive always wondered where the shads recorded their hits ie the studio. do you know ? abbey rd ? your soo good you should try some of the oldie jet h n' tony m songs..n' other instrumentals. eg diamonds. its grrreat to see these "wonderfull' oldies introduced to new generations of musos. super duper six…seriously. happiness. om Last edited by justanoldmuso; 02/25/23 06:20 AM. my songs....mixed for good earbuds...(fyi..my vocs on all songs..) https://soundcloud.com/alfsongs (90 songs created useing bb/rb) (lots of tips of mine in pg tips forum.)

Must have played it hundreds of times in the past but was astonished how difficult those damped sections were nowadays with these ancient hands. I can't afford expensive gear these days. Those days are long gone. BB is my only Sin. Lol. My 'chain' such as it is is Strat (bespoke HBM 40th Anni copy) - Boss CS-1 pedal (set low for evenness) - Alesis Q2 echo unit (I've had since 2004) - Joyo ACTone Vox AC30 emulator pedal (inexpensive but excellent Vox emulator) - Cakewalk DAW. That's it. My 'real' Vox sits unused with a cover it these days. Would love to do Diamonds etc but there are no RDs that get anywhere close to TMs drumming. The Shads recorded mostly at Abbey Road, certainly in their 'Golden Years'. At times they were recording at same time as The Beatles. Hazy days!

Here is my humble version of the song, also backed by Biab. https://www.dropbox.com/s/pl48ynt7bm3vztp/Wonderful%20Land%20-%20Mix%201.mp3?dl=0 Also Telstar https://www.dropbox.com/s/qtcwqwa8ojurkjl/Telstar%20-%20Mix%201.mp3?dl=0 Lots of fun!

I did a slide on lap steel for the key change. Take care, Andrew https://www.dropbox.com/s/7ovkwsxs7935a90/Telstar%20.SGU?dl=0 Andrew Lloyd

Joyo ACTone Vox AC30 nice price. https://www.amazon.ca/JOYO-JF-13-Tone-Vox-Amp/dp/B006QUGBVK Andrew. lovely job. apparently they got the telstar sound by reversing audio of a toilet flushing…! if i remember it was joe meeks studio in north london ?

When I bought mine it was £19.50. its £47 nowadays. SHeesh! Before they came along I used a tiny Korg Ampworks as a recording emulator. Miniscule but it did the job, more or less. Still have it.

My Strat has Kinman pups in and I use a Joyo Vox emulator and that really helps with the tone. I agree that maybe the Lead should have been a bit more forward. Been struggling since Aug '22 with a wrecked hip which has stopped me being able to sit or stand for very long. So I do my BB BT and recording in small bites now before the ache gets too bad.
