Homeskooler Treading Water - Play Along to "Mad Loop Friday"
Well this was a fun way to spend a Sunday night. I was to sleepy to continue watching the Bills-Lions so I decided to take a crack at this one. Looped the first minute of the "Mad Loop Friday" and let it rip (with many starts and stops and redos). Nowhere to hide playing along to Bukovac. Deep pocket, deep well. How cool are those two bridges? No drum track and no click means I really had to pay attention to everything. Really tried to do that self-mixing thing he does so well. Not dexterous enough to mess with the volume knob much in time so hitting the strings so there weren't weird spikes making notes stand out in the wrong way and really paying attention to the end of notes took about as much concentration as I could muster. 4 hours later I ended up with 4 minutes and change. Good times!

Note relationship: when a raised 5 becomes a 1 (6min/4maj 3min/1maj) featuring Fender Deluxe Reverb
มุมมอง 467 ชั่วโมงที่ผ่านมา
As a shaped based memorizer (who also has to trust his ear because I can't remember shapes or where I am in the moment in relation to the chord progression) I am always trying to find ways to visualize the fretboard so I don't have to learn it. Counterproductive, but alas I go back to the relationship between the 6min/4maj and 3min/1maj chords from time to time as a compositional device. The tr...
One rig, different guitars - featuring Fender Deluxe Reverb RI and Universal Audio Ox Box
มุมมอง 8216 ชั่วโมงที่ผ่านมา
DRRI on the the Vibrato Channel, input 1, reverb off, volume 5.5, treble 6, bass 3. Routed into the Ox Box set to a preset called 50s Twang. Reverb coming from Ox (hard panned opposite the guitar/amp) and a little from Boss RV-6. Gm6/C F/C C looped. Didn't touch any settings throughout, except I increased the amp volume to 6.5 when I did the single note stuff on the strat.

Impersonation (noun): an act of pretending to be another person for the purpose of entertainment or fraud. Not sure this weirdo fully understood the assignment. 16 minutes bro? You think you're a Daniel Day Lewis style method actor or something? I really should have had a better plan. Left a lot of jokes on the table. It ain't easy to turn on a camera and start talking.

What a time to be a Cavs fan! 15-0! Big one tomorrow night. Nationally televised matchup against the Celtics. Go Cavs! More noise made featuring the Native Audio Rising Sun Tremolo. Used the effect on all 6 parts. A bunch of knob twisting and pairing it with assorted, other effects on some of the parts. These are the results.
Native Audio Rising Sun Tremolo V2 pedal sounds and sights - echoes of something

I was after a tremolo pedal and decided to give this one a try. Native Audio Rising Sun V2. Put together a loop inspired by Uncle Larry's 'Slant 6' loop. The 2 major chord (F#) makes it for me. some knobs and put together a bevy of parts. Left the amp (Fender DRRI) largely alone (bumped the volume for the single note stuff towards the end) and used the same speaker sim from the Ox Box throughou...
Most of the reverb - Fender DRRI with reverb on at least 7 for all the parts (sometimes tremolo)
มุมมอง 242 หลายเดือนก่อน
The drill was to max or near max out the reverb from the amp on every part. Vibrato channel, volume on anywhere from 6.5 to 8 and the reverb on at least 7. I rarely put the reverb past 3 on this amp. I'm not sure much changed once I went past 5. Not a huge difference between 7 - 10 that I could ascertain. Some of the tracks had tremolo from the amp as well. All the parts were what I could get o...

At long last I re-applied my go-to pedals into a pedalboard format. For the past 2 years I've been plugging them in as I use them. Had some scrap wood in the garage and decided it was time. Spent about 60 bucks at the store buying all the right cabling to make the thing work. It is nice to have what I use all in one place again. Had some trepidation when I first put it together. Did some troubl...
Once in a blue moon - super blue moon memorial song

Who was the first person to look to the sky for answers? What was the question? When they got the answer they were looking for, who did they try to convince? How many people had to hear the story before they believed it? Just a little tune that popped in my head coincident with the recent super blue moon (Aug 19). The next blood moon is Mar 13/14, 2025. There was.a killer harvest moon on Sep 17.

Four Provinces - The Walkmen Cover; the chords I use

I imagine 'Four Provinces' is the name of the bar where the narrator meets his favorite girl. He's not sure how much is there, but after a couple drinks there is some chemistry. Someday she stops showing up. What a lovely, melancholy lyric. I dig this chord progression so much, I lifted it for one of my songs 'It Ain't Easy'. Available in my little dark, dusty corner of the world-wide-web. I us...

I recently read Erik Larson's newest book - The Demon of Unrest: A Saga of Hubris, Heartbreak, and Heroism at the Dawn of the Civil War. I have read most of his books. My favorite is Devil in the White City, but this one is very good. They're all good. If you are looking for a book, read Devil in the White City and you will be hooked on his storytelling and eventually find your way to this one....
Where to Begin - My Morning Jacket cover; how I play it demo

A dude, a bunch of reverb and a hand full of overdubs. In the long list of great My Morning Jacket tunes this one is right in there for me (Circuital reigns supreme). This was the first song I ever heard from them via the Elizabethtown soundtrack. Made an impression. I went and saw them in early July at the Masonic Temple in Detroit. As could be expected the sound was outstanding (the sacred ge...

I was working on a cover of My Morning Jacket's 'Where to Begin' today and got distracted by this tuning, C# G# C# F# A# D#. In other words, Drop D down a 1/2 step. Came up with this in short order. Not tight by any means, but I can live with the sounds. Sounds kind of big.
Strangers - The Kinks cover; ex. of using major chord substitutions to perfection & more thoughts

Remember this song in The Darjeeling Limited? Me too. Dave (writer) and Ray Davies (producer) were at the top of their game here. What a great track. 'If I live too long, I'm afraid I'll die' indeed. Relatable. I was equally inspired by Lucius's great cover of this tune. I try to expand on why major chord substitutions work so well and are a little more versatile than minor chord substitutions....
