Bad Luck - TheHumps

Thanks! Things are going ok, can't complain, thanks for asking.

We create our opportunities for success or failure. Usually, the harder you work at something, the more it pays off for you in the long run. Call it making luck if you want. This guy is just down on his luck and he's letting you know, he.

Hey pal! No, not Spiv on vox, that's my new, rough rock voice, lol. Thanks for the nice words!

I write short songs mostly 2-2.5 minutes. Way easier to mix a short song, less time spent mixing, so much less content to list to and scrutinize. Why put yourself thru the agony of a 6 min track? Must take weeks to mix, he. Can do 3 songs in that time and learn more that way. I do get a lot of comments saying the song was too short, oh well. Hit the play button again I say!!

We all strive to be different when it comes to doing this, well I hope we all do. Got my new git and pedal so I'm putting it to good use. Epiphone Les Paul Standard/The Guv'nor by Marshall.

Haven't seen you in a while, hope all is well.

Cheers!

Wayne

Thanks, glad you liked it!

Not my best performance on the theremin, tough scale I chose to play on it so I wasn't as fluid as I would have liked.

Wayne

Thanks, appreciate the kind words!

Wayne

Starting to get my snottiness and negativity factor to peak just in time for the holidays, lol!

Thanks!

There's a lot of this kinda music being made these days. It's more modern rock to me than classic rock even tho it's roots are solidly bedded in the "classic" rock style. I think of the Black Keys, for instance. I'm doing music in that general style without trying to directly sound like them.

You get your style from your music heroes, nicking this off that guy and this thing off of that guy. Like John Prine, he's another guy who I take his lyric writing style to heart, some humor, weird situations in the songs and great stories. Combine good lyrics with some cool, modern sounding classic rock or punk, well that's a formula that excites me musically!

Thanks Paul!

I'm glad you liked it, wasn't sure how this would go over. It's a bit loud and in your face with my usual, down on his luck, complaining character that I've been developing these past few years. Hope people don't take these songs as my personal life, man I'd be one sad sack, lol.

The theremin works, I had no intention of putting anymore guitar down, there's enough going on with the distortion on the guitars and the bass. I wanted the solo to be the theremin, it cuts thru the thick guitars, plus it's freekin' cool, lol!

Wayne

Thanks Mickey!

Thanks!

Gaining more confidence in my singing, absolutely. Been working hard at developing my delivery, grit and attitude. It's like performing, you gotta sell the track. Some people have this naturally, not me. I'm a bass player not a front man. Having fun with it.

Wayne

Look who's talking, your reviews are pretty darn energetic!!

Thanks!

Wayne

Thanks danke!

Making the decision to add a new track playing just the E on the right helped. Left track - both pickups, right track - bridge pickup.

Wayne

Thanks krotan!

There is a solo in the track, 1:20-1:30. I mentioned it in the description, Moog theremin lead.
