what i mean by writing "chris spedding"?
i apologize but it will be easier for me to copy paste informations about Chris spedding from wikipedia :) i thought you knew him lol
Christopher John "Chris" Spedding (born Peter Robinson, 17 June 1944)[1] is an English musician, singer, guitarist, songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, composer, and record producer. In a career spanning more than 40 years, Spedding is best known for his studio session work. By the early 1970s, he had become one of the most sought-after session guitarists in England. Spedding has played on and produced many albums and singles. He has also been a member of eleven rock bands: The Battered Ornaments, Frank Ricotti Quartet, King Mob, Mike Batt and Friends, Necessaries, Nucleus, Ricky Norton, Sharks, Trigger, and The Wombles.
AllMusic has described Spedding as "one of the UK's most versatile session guitarists, [he] has had a long career on two continents that saw him tackle nearly every style of rock and roll, as well as sporadically attempting a solo career. The fact that he never quite broke through to stardom, except in his native England and parts of Europe, and in professional music circles, is more a result of bad timing and worse luck than any lack of talent or commitment on his part."[1]
Spedding pursued a solo career and released his debut album Songs Without Words in 1970. Since then, he has released fourteen studio albums, and two live albums. His solo albums have met no success, failing to chart anywhere, while his only single to chart was "Motor Bikin'"
Things make a bit more sense now. ;)

Absolutely refreshing to hear something like this... very welcoming collab...rough and straightforward in best of ways. Besides, it's very nice to hear you in excellent vocal form which makes very strong element of the tune...man you can sing really well! Thumbs up!:)
Compliments_____Leon
The vox I just went for, I'm not a lead singer, more a backup singer. But it's fun to belt it out so why not throw some singing down, it is what it is, ha!
Thanks!

Good to hear something so "fresh"!
I like this song a lot: it has some touches of the Clash of the beginnings (Give'Em/London), specially your voice and the rhythm section: Clash never had such a great solo guitar player :-)
Good work on the bass ... and I would never believe that these drums are programmed: they sound so "live".
Again... well done!
Ciao, Domenico
I do a lot of chopping up of the drum midi files and notes to get a good enough variety of fills and interesting bits. I am able to separate the drums into 8 individual tracks in Ableton which allows for more options when it comes to editing and mixing the drums. EZ Drummer is adequate for me, it's midi of actual drummers playing live.
Cheers!

As i wrote you this afternoon there's something from Chris spedding in this track.
The guitar lead make the job, it drives the track during all the duration, Let there be rock :)
It smells true, it sounds true! everything you want to hear from a band!
congrates wayne

Thanks again for stopping by! This one is all about Jim's guitar which really set the tone for this one, it's his musical idea but lately he's been a musical juggernaut! I hope to record some of Jim's own songs in the future and also have him help on a few of mine as well.
Hope work wasn't too bad. Take care!

A great display of your musicianship :)

Really nice live feel with the guitar. Definitely surf rock with a bit of folk feel to my ears. ahhhh then the synth comes in! excellent.
I feel like it could be cleaned up just a slight bit, but the composition is quite solid and I thoroughly have enjoyed my listen. Cheers!
There is a lot to clean up, the mix isn't perfect and neither is the playing. If I spent a week or so arranging it and composing some better parts it could come together.
Thanks for swinging by!

It makes me nervous getting into the water, floating around and swimming against the tides. Sometimes you see bait fish around you and that's when I get the heck onto the beach, something's chasing them around. I know they satellite track a few great white sharks that have been tagged and swim about 20 miles off shore, up and down the coast. Yikes! ha!

Mention particulière à la ligne de basse: superbement groovy qui moi me rappelle celles de Gallup.
Félicitations pour ce morceau! et en effet, pas sur que cette version instru s'enrichisse de paroles :)
Je me le mets de coté pour le ré écouter plus tard :)

Intro made me think if a cross between Sister Hazel and Drive By Truckers. Verse more Truckers.
Really enjoying the bass guitar throughout. I would have overdone it and ruined it. You made it tasteful and interesting, and with a great tone.
A kind-of happy/murky feel coexisting. Not murky in tone or sound quality, but in conveyed atmosphere. I dig it!
I hope all is well.

Been working on instrument sound quality lately, now that I can hear things better I need to make some more adjustments, things are slowly getting better, hopefully.
Thanks for listening in and commenting!

Within seconds I was thinking Nick Cave.
Yep we want blood and death.
You need some killer lyrics on this .......
Do I need some killer lyrics or would serial killer lyrics on this track be better? I mean what would Nick do?
Cheers man!

This is my kind of music my friend...absolutely love it...its real..got the feeling...played with talent...Great stuff...big fav.....Ed
I shouldn't say it has no structure as there are distinct parts to the song and they flow because I mostly play in one key and intentionally played distinctly different bass parts with different dynamics. I think there is a key change in there somewhere but I am not going back and figuring it out, he.
I've always loved surf music, great stuff! Take care Ed!

"Piggy sound"? Can't say I've ever heard that expression. :) The growl that the bass guitar has is just how the Fender Jazz bass guitars sound. Mine is the Jaco Pastorius 1962 reissue, well know for it's exceptional tone. They were designed by Fender to compete against the Rickenbacker electric bass that was very punchy and bright and was popular and sold well at the time.
I go from the guitar into my bass amp, direct line out into my Focusrite Saffire pro then into my mac through lightening connection and am starting to get the punch and tone the Jazz bass is know for being, the best bass guitar in the world. I don't use any pedals or software to enhance it, other than some eq and compression in Ableton.
Thanks for stopping by!

This one wasn't about a perfect arrangement or an unforgettable guitar performance. It was about spontaneity and working out an idea a little with a limiting bass line which I had no intention of changing. It was a fun challenge.
There are parts that are interesting and cool despite winging the whole thing, lol. Glad you liked it Spiv!

the first two chords like an R.E.M. song and that's lead through...towards the end you rowed to the fields of the jam...bass tone is very good again...
all in all, good song, handshake, Danke
Take care!

The only annoyance is that it's too short man. You could have at least got away with another couple of minutes of that.
Top tune. I'm going to download this and put it on a compilation CD for my mate, He's really in to this kind of thing so i'm sure he'll like this one.

Glad you liked it, one of the first songs I posted here. It's short, punk should be short I think. I just say hit the play button again, lol.
Thanks!
