Funky Day Tripper - ScottB55

20th Mar 2014 18:43 - 12 years ago
Tags :
Description : This is a catchy little tune reminiscent of the 60s Beatles, Ventures and The Shadows' style, but also some 70s funk and lead guitar riffs thrown in for good measure. It may remind you of the Beatles' "Day Tripper" in some parts if you're old enough to remember (hence the title.) Check it out!

Hey Scott....I was playing in my first band in 63 while still in school...started on instrumental covers (Ventures, Shadow, Fireballs, etc)..did pretty much all of the early Beatles when they hit the air along with the other Brit groups.....I played some of the songs so many times I think I still could play along with most...but I don`t like going back as I`m having too much fun making my own noise....cheers..do some more & I`ll shoot a link to the 2 old bandmates I still am in touch with....Ed

Hey Ed,

That clears it up on the age. You have a few years on me. I think I was about 12 when I started playing, around '67 or '68. I'm really going back in time on the track I'm working on now. It's from the 30s. I played a show a few weeks ago and decided to do a track from it (42nd Street.)

Cheers,
Scott

Hi Ed,

Thanks for checking me out and commenting. Glad you enjoyed it.

A bit confused, though about your age. Did you know of these groups, or did you have to check them out cause you didn't? I know you'd heard of the Beatles, but had you heard 'Day Tripper?' Just wondering. I learned much of my craft from them, among others.

Cheers,
Scott

Bonjour Scott ....

Amazing.
I returned to my tender youth "Beatles mania" .... the illusion is perfect .... but, the wha-wha pedal was still in its infancy ....
You have created here a good track, very pleasant to listen to .... Bravo!

Thanks allot, Dan. Glad you like it. Yeah, the wah wah pedal hit about the mid 60s I believe. I ran across an mp3 of a commercial of the pedal awhile back. It's pretty retro like me!

Cheers,
Scott

Description : My third rap song. Still not entirely sure how I got here, but I'm having fun with it. This time, I brought along my alter ego, Cool Grandpa. He's got more swagger than I do and helps bring a little street cred (although not much) to the operation.

Description : Unfiltered. Just me and the Squier Stratocaster. Comp edited the recorded guitar freestyle clips so it all sounds like it was recorded in one take. I used one of my old beats. Trying to get my guitar to scream was my goal, but in the process i made the guitar make sounds i didn't know it could make.
