Glad I could get your Christmas off to a pumping start. Hope you had a good one.
I was going to leave it as one track but then I figured I still had five minutes left to fill so I thought I might as well carry on.
Cheers for stopping by and comenting as always.

Hey Wayne, great to hear from you on this track! Like I mentioned to StaticNomad, The Clash is definitely one of my biggest dub related influences, and I like what they did with other styles too. the album "Sandanista" especially. I'm really digging the new guitar, and it has encouraged me to play more, so that can't be bad... I even fixed the set up on my Jackson finally! Going to re work the pickups on the box guitar as soon as I get the parts from Thailand (been waiting for almost a month already!). They were only temporarily affixed for ease of adjustment. I suppose I'm starting to be proud, but mostly just thankful to have so many awesome instruments around the studio now. Also I am thankful for your listen and comment!

long live phi zappa crappa. honestly he is a compositional hero of mine. why don't you download this puppy and graffiti it up a little?!

Hey Wayne, good to have your listen and feedback! Nice to hear that you liked looking at the guitar as well! I did a little fine tuning on the guitar this morning... some tightening and reorienting of the treble pickup mostly. So I guess what you're saying is that it not very pop? I don't think what I think of as pop is what others do, so it makes sense. The "claws in me" words kept going through my head lately, so just had to develop the idea. It felt appropriate for so many different circumstances. "I knew exactly what happened when I read the reply on that other track." - I guess I'm having trouble remembering what reply you speak of. Thank you very much for stopping by!

Bang a gong, indeed, lol! (Always loved that song, btw.)

Thanks allot, Wayne. Glad you like it and took the time to comment. We really appreciate it.

Ciao,

Thanks a lot Wayne. I thought this title would fit nicely a song like this...
I appreciate your nice words and am happy that you liked the song. Thanks again! Alex

Thank you! The guitar part isn't mine. Sergey Hartwick played it - and sent it back together with the voice. So - I can do nothing.)

Hey Wayne,

Thanks allot for chiming in and hitting me up with your kind words.

The guitar is my friend, Midiman James. The harp is actually from a Mellotron VST I have which James found for me after I told him it was one of my favorite instrument.

Cheers,
Scott

Yeah it was loops. I tend to upload songs, get feedback, and then re-upload them to make them as best as I can. Thanks for the feed back!

Hey Wayne,

Many thanks, my friend. You know, I was a disco hater too, when it first emerged. I thought it would hurt us playing musicians, but I joined a 9 piece disco/funk band and I loved it. I remember having to tie my bell bottom cause it kept getting caught in the beater of my kick drum pedal! I still don't have allot of disco in my collection, but smile when I hear it on the oldies stations.

Thanks allot for your kind words.

Cheers,
Scott

Always good to hear from you Wayne...your comments like this one are always highly appreciated. I'm really glad you liked this one so much and thanks for the fav!:)

With appreciation____Orlando

Hey mate,sorry for the late reply...thank you so much for your kind words,yes this is the bass I made (which is undergoing a total body metamorphose as we speak (as I type! lol)..bass tone,bass tone it's my grail I think haha...I was watching an old Spaghetti Western awhile back and thought,Wayne and I could write a better sound track! lol (which is true)..thank you again for taking the time to listen mate...cheers from Dave,Detlef and Steve. :)

Thank you! The piano sound in the song is demolished by distortion :)

hi Wayne, I am really glad that you liked my playing. Yes, I made the drums using EZ plugin also with some percussions from ferryterry and other single percussive sounds. Basically this track combines fast 4/4 and slower 6/8 feel and that's why it is still listenable.

Great to hear from you again! Thanks for your nice words, Alex

Hi Wayne

Good to hear from you. I hope all is well.

Thank you very much for your kind words. It is rewarding when I get comments that make is all worth while and "superb, clean and clear" are just knockout. Thank you. Glad you liked the solo too.

Best

Yeah, you should get into slide. I did in about 2005 after watching a Black Keys DVD (back when it was just the two of them and they were really good) and have never looked back.

I really haven't. I changed my tuning to DADFsharpAD and that has remained my tuning ever since. I'm a bit lost if I play in regular tuning these days. So, I use that tuning now for all guitar playing, not just slide.

Slide would really suit a lot of what you do and it's an extremely sensual way of playing. Opens up all those microtones. I recommend a glass slide on the little finger. Can't understand people who put it on the third as that screws up your fretting hand whereas if you don't want to use it, you've still got three fairly unhampered fingers so can do all your usual shapes.

When I'm playing with the slide, I try not to overdo it so that when I add the slide, you really notice it. Some passages are pure slide (quite a few in this one) but it's a killer physical acoustic effect to hit from time to time.

Yes, this is a shorter one in which I don't switch into a whole bunch of other styles. It's a lot more consistent. Like a few ideas rather than my usual 10,000 in one track.

I've done slide playing across so many different styles (jazz, funk, electro, metal, grunge, blues, rock, d'n'b, reggae etc and more to probably come) but this is one of the more consistent blues ones, even though it's no regular blues.

"You said you trimmed some guitar bits"

Damn right I did! I do that all the time in every single track as I'm one of the laziest players out there. I'm the king of "fix it in the mix" though with me it's more "write the composition after jamming away for a while" as it is fixing bad notes and general errors/average and not especially interesting playing. I don't know if there's anyone else who has the same working method as me but I guess I'd only find out if I actually worked closely with someone on playing, recording, editing etc
"not knowing when to stop adding to the composition"

Yeah, you do that a bit and it could be said that I do it a lot. However, I try to make all that layering my special sort of unique sound. Complex and constantly changing but hopefully nothing interfering too much with anything else. So hard to know if I always (ever?) get it right. And that's partly down to the editing and mixing skills.

Anyway, I liked it, you liked it and that's the main thing, even if it is a bit rough around the edges in places. A bit like a lot of my work, I guess.

Good to hear from you on a pretty old track. Hopefully it's kind of timeless!

Wayne,
On a roll lol. Yes Bear is fantastic.
I started playing harp before I picked up my first guitar at age 11 and put it down when I started learning how to wield the axe. I picked up a harmonica at the local music store and everything I had learned as a kid came back fast. TY.
Mark.

Hiya Wayne good to catch up mate. TBH the bass is loops of a bass guitar then played with by me & final master by Salook. Glad you enjoyed & thanx for the comment my friend . . . .
