Badger Joined: Nov 16, 2013 Posts: 4536 Wisconsin	Posted on Dec 18 2015 02:45 PM Messed around & found a setting on my El Cap (tweaks from 'nowhereman's' Binson Echorec from a previous gear thread) and noodling around with some Mustangs' material, just the Strat & Vox. Something as simple as 'Moscow Nights' reminds me about playing same-things/many-places & helps me mechanically; thinking & feeling rather than fingering. — Wes SoCal ex-pat with a snow shovel DISCLAIMER: The above is opinion/suggestion only & should not be used for mission planning/navigation, tweaking of instruments, beverage selection, or wardrobe choices.

It is just an idea right now, a sketch. It will need a lot of work. But I like the idea: "La cible" — http://noskons.bandcamp.com/ Last edited: Dec 18, 2015 18:14:09 Top
Badger Joined: Nov 16, 2013 Posts: 4536 Wisconsin	Posted on Dec 22 2015 01:08 PM Still mentally in Finland. Thought 'Perestroika' would be an all winter project & it still may (plus I love the song anyway). But some folks here gave me some advice in a general nature in the past, but it managed to come out of my hard head this morning & coalesced into an understanding. The parts about nugging it out & sticking on it like glue, and also just listening. It's not an insurmountable melody. (The rhythm part I found myself thinking "what would Patrick do?" and it translates into more breathy, less stilted chords - also I understand why he shakes his wrists out every so often like an Olympic diver. Uff-da!) And, uh, I really love my Strat with the Vibrolux and Vox mixed together. — Wes SoCal ex-pat with a snow shovel DISCLAIMER: The above is opinion/suggestion only & should not be used for mission planning/navigation, tweaking of instruments, beverage selection, or wardrobe choices.

( and a personal favorite) Nice to see that someone else is familiar with the first BTO album post Brave Belt. Sorry for the sidetrack folks but BTO is in my top 5 favorite bands.... Yo Teiscofan- It's not a side-track if it's related to Surf which is exactly my intent for this stomper from the 1st BTO album. I too love Randy and Co. I know I heard this song maybe 1 time on the AM station way back when but then, where did it go? I swear I saw a greatest hits without this included. To the surf part: It hit me last night after throwing the 1st album on the turntable as a palate cleanser (I had just listened to all 4 sides of Metal Machine Music- that's right, I did that) and the little bulb in my head starts glowing and it gets brighter and brighter. This morning ideas are fighting each other on how to make this a great instro tune. I've already decided to have an extra drum track that will be just the floor tom going thumpa-thumpa-thumpa-thumpa. There may be some type of ethereal slide just roaming around to give a bit of extra texture. Fortunately I've discarded the idea of any vocals. Randy's cool cool cools will be missed so I'll compensate perhaps with some extra echo-y guitar. Now to learn how to play the dang thing. (maybe it was Fred Turner on the vocals- hell all these rock bands sound the same) — Da Vinci Flinglestein, The quest for the Tone, the tone of the Quest The Syndicate of Surf on YouTube http://www.syndicateofsurf.com/ http://sharawaji.com/ http://surfrockradio.com/ Last edited: Feb 28, 2016 09:41:48 Top
Teiscofan Joined: Feb 21, 2011 Posts: 513 Ontario	Posted on Feb 28 2016 11:12 AM Syndicate - I would love to hear the surfized version of "Stayed awake all night". Very good idea. How about taking a song like "KIng kOng" and surfized get it( by Babe Ruth ) or...or... Dang now you have me thinking! BTO is an awesome band IMHO and I think it was Fred Turner on the vocals...will have to research. — I am not obsolete, I am RETRO.... Last edited: Feb 28, 2016 11:19:12 Top

pscates Joined: Oct 26, 2013 Posts: 45	Posted on Mar 07 2016 03:10 PM I've jumped on RJ Ronquillo's awesome take on Bowie's "The Man Who Sold the World", which I stumbled across on YouTube a few weeks ago. I love everything about it. I play it every day, even if it's just me sitting around with an acoustic. So tasty and well done (and fun to play). EDIT: I posted the link but it got all garbled/truncated. It's easy enough to find at YouTube (he's got two versions...the one played with that funky-shaped Hallmark Stradette(?) is the one I'm talking about. Last edited: Mar 07, 2016 15:12:36 Top

One nice thing about being retired is that I can "play" my guitars ad- nauseam.
