theHumps

Greetings. Very laid back blues and first proper deep shuffle blues I've done.

Not really that many effects. Not sure if you mean on guitar. Mostly just delay, reverb, a little distortion - nothing unusual.

Not sure who Godfathers are. A band, I guess.

My bass is a Vintage 5-string (can't remember the model) though I rarely play it so I'm not very good anymore. Used to be much better in teen years when that's mostly all I played. Little practice these days means no stamina in left or right hand and picking fingers get blisters so easily.

But there's some nice bas guitar in this track.

Main guitar is still the first I ever bought (in 1996) and it's small and light and comfortable and cheap. It's the Epiphone Les Paul Special II (Vintage Sunburst). I also use a Variax but don't like it much and find it hard to play but it still pops up in my tracks.

Main resonator is the Ozark 3515bte and other one (that I don't like) is a Republic Resolian Steel Antique Brass.

You confused me by saying you enjoyed the resonator on here as there is none! The splashes you heard must be the sitar bits during the second half solo. Can't think what else you could mistake for resonator. I almost always say I track description if its in the track.

I do my best to feel the music and play to the groove rather than just widdle about all over the place. This is a wonderful groove for laidback playing and even more so in the later parts (that you haven't heard) when it appears to pick up pace and get more insistent.

I could do blues playing over this type of groove all day. Comes very naturally.

I hope you noticed that the drums are mostly just the EZ Americana kit. If not, you will now!

Good to hear you want to hear more. These 4 mins are really just an intro..

Hi Wayne and thx a lot for your warm review on that humble cover.
I discovered Woodkid recently (they're French :p) and was so moved by their video clip that I tried the song.

"Today I will tell you the story of a man who drowned in the cold waters of the ocean after losing the one he loved. This is the story of a man who died twice." is the translation of the priest's words in Russian.

There are songs that become unforgettable and will always convey a special feeling or memory.

Although awkward, I put a lot of heart in that cover and I'm very glad you liked it, Wayne.
Merci for your time and attention,
Peace

Thanks for listenning my songs!

Thanks Wayne,
every Time i listen to this Track it´s getting a little better. For me ,I think ,i recover a new (old)Passion making Rockmusic. As i was a Man Age 20, I played Heavy Metal Guitar in a Trash Metal Band,those Times were gone, but the Spirit of wicked Guitars and the Sound of evil Power is not a Desease,its inherent and awaits a coming out like a wild Animal.
Nice to know that you like it.

Thank you so much!

Thank you for being the first to listen! I always appreciate your reviews! I didn't even think about cinematic, I guess you have a point there. The psychogenic part was kind of funny, as the word just popped into my head, I didn't remember where I had heard it before, but I looked it up and it seemed to fit... something which is manifested by the mind, and not physiological. The sammich is between me and Spivkurl...heh. Interesting that you hear industrial with this, I guess I just can't avoid industrial ha ha. Thanks again my friend!

That's not a shabby idea at all, thanks for the input! Glad you enjoyed it as well. Thank you for the great loops ha-Charlene

Thanks man. I'm actually really p***ed off because i've updated this track but for some reason the site wont let me replace this version.
Never had this problem before but anyway thanks as always for listening Wayne.

Yo. I'm a big fan of Stewart Copeland, but mostly for his playing in The Police (great band). I'm aware of his TV and film and other work but haven't heard much of it.

I'm surprised by the comparison as I didn't think he played this loud or with as much double kick. Or with blastbeats.

Killer drumming in this is mostly thanks to Superior Drummer and the excellent kits and great performance MIDI files. My skill is in arranging those drum parts and layering them and choosing kits and when playing moves from one to the next to provide the drum variety I like to have in most, if not all, of my tracks.

I'm a good and slightly unusual guitarist but only add the 'freekin' good' through careful editing together of the best takes in my loop recording guitar jam sessions.

See my reply to Extraball for more details on my guitar cheating. Not as good a player as I sound on record!

"goes good so close to earth day and all"

That's odd. Not sure what this might have to do with that environmental protection celebration day. But cool if it trips you out. Maybe 'psychedelic grunge' is the best simple genre name for this.

Yes, slide resonator guitar is kind of my speciality and it features a lot on my many tracks. I'll play it over metal, blues, electro, funk, whatever. Lots of shorter touches of it here to provide unusual variety (clean guitar sounds over heavy ones is odd) but no proper solo. There isn't a proper solo in this - it's just riff, riff and strange textures all the way.

Lots of slide in my track Debt Black Hole, which is a favourite of yours.

My greatest chillout blues slide resonator track:

Slide jazz. The main bassline is slide resonator and there are other slide bits at various points.

Hi Wayne,

Thanks for that, I didn't quite know what I was trying to achieve when I started, and still didn't when I had finished!! So glad you liked it though.

Best wishes,

Mark/Larry!

Hi Wayne

Thanks for your comments - much appreciated. New material soon - it's been busy moving back to UK and sorting out a house. Studio finished and ready to go.

Good to hear from you.

I just can't stay away from those percussion loops they call to me lol

Thnx a lot for taking the time to listen and the feedback of course, this means a lot to me.
Funny you mention the space in the track. I did this on purpose. I'll tell you why.
Just imagine a huuge sumo wrestler waking up and preparing himself for his match.When the claps starting he's warming up and when the ''dance-part'' comes in, the match has started and finishes when the slower part starts again. Btw, he won the match..lol. At the end he's tired and falss asleep again. The life of a sumo wrestler here in Japan.
Thnx again for the feedback!
