blindLuck - mammal + guitar

Hi Gary, sorry to read you had health problems, hope you're feeling better, sure sounds like it.
This is guitar playing I like, excellent. Is the end a bit abrupt or is soundclick acting strange , it does that on occasion. Now hand over the particulars, please. Guitar make and model ,mics and number of fingers used, left and right .


Greetings, Rik

Wow I don't know which version I like best! You made my day! I love your style. Could you combine the 2? IMHO, I think you should use an acoustic version as an intro to the full version. At any rate I love it! Thanks for posting this!

You and me babe we ain't nothing but mammals... My son liked it too :-) And he's 8.

That just knocked me out...  very cool Gary...

Gary...loved it!!!...sooo glad you made it back to post this!!

Hope your well mate and feelin better and better every day!

 Awesome!! sounds more Ragtime than Blues to me. Loved it in any case.

Very nice playing Gary. It reminds me of my dear departed uncle Horace. He had a lot of Chet influence. He played an early/mid 50s Les Paul Jr with flat wound strings through a Gretsch amp. I hear a lot of the same licks and I like it a lot. It is well produced too I think.
 
Good job!

CLEAN:  Hi Mark, thank you! Much appreciated.

rockinrobby: Robby, thanks for listening and for playing this for your son!  Glad you guys are able to spend time together again.

Scottytunes: Hi Scotty, thanks very much.

notnat:  Hi Frank, thanks for checking it out...glad you liked it.

Wookie: John, thanks for the good wishes and for listening/commenting.  I appreciate the kind words.

You're such a confident player, strong forceful changes, no pulling punches.  It speaks of a LOT of practice and a good ear.

I'm always knocked out by playing and tastes in music.  You're articulation here is sharp and clean.  Great timing!

Really fun stuff, Gary.  A real treat.

Grant is right on there. That was a like a fresh wash after the day at work I had today.

thepogue:  Hi Tom. I am feeling better.  Thanks for the good wishes and thanks
for listening and commenting.  Glad you liked the tune.

yep, I agree but Soundclick doesn’t have a Ragtime category…or do they? I’ve never
actually checked Well, anyway thanks very much!
 
rynosynth: 

I'd be squeezing some lemons if I had any

haha… Thank you!
 
jbow:

Thanks Julien, glad you liked the tune.  Hopefully uncle Horace would like it, too.  Whatever happened
to the Les Paul and Gretsch amp? Worth a fortune these days…in memories or cash. Whichever you prefer.
 
Alegria:

Sounds totally, insanely good on the speakers

Really?  I’m sorta surprised to hear that ‘cause it sounds kinda weird to me.  Distorted but
not distorted or something.  I just couldn’t figure it out.  In my opinion you get a great
acoustic sound but here’s the info:  I have 2 AKG C1000 mics.  One at the bridge and one at the
12^th fret ( more or less ).  I don’t have a preamp so it’s just into the DAW from there.  There is
some delay, reverb and compression but the only eq is the usual high pass filter.  Hope that helps.
Thanks for listening and for the supportive comments.  It’s always great to hear from you.
 
Janet:

you shouldn't be allowed to get sick or work so much

I agree!!! Unfortunately, like most things, it’s out of my control.  Thank you!
 
darylcrowley:

You're such a confident player

Wow! Thanks Daryl.  I’m glad it sounds that way ‘cause I generally don’t feel that way.
It’s always great to hear from a musician with your talent and abilities.  Thank you!
 
57Gregy:  Hi Greg…Thank you!
 
jamesyoyo:

Hi James.  Thanks very much, man. You made my day.
 
RoberB:  Hi Robert.  I’m glad you liked the guitar sound but, as I mentioned to Alegria, I’m not
really hearing it myself.  Maybe it’s a good thing I’m away from home and unable to screw around
with it and mess things up.  The recording details ( such as they are ) are a few replies up.  Thanks
for listening for taking the time to leave a comment.
 

Most Awesome! Guitar Sounds and Plays well! Talent just spouts out of this number.

That's a surprise as I thought this was intended (passionate pinching of the strings... ). I imagine you are using a matched pair (AKG C1000)? And if not, how do you deal with the possible phase issues?

"geeare1"In my opinion you get a great acoustic sound

That's an even bigger surprise, thanks!  And it's encouraging to hear this as I've made quite a bit of progress on that front in the past few months (according to my ears). Part of that process has been to pay close attention to my technique/performances, reviewing my "home-made" picking patterns and all that sort of thing.


Thanks for the info... and if you figure it out (I know you will), let us know what was up with that.

timidi:  Thank you, Tim!

Tap: Hi and thanks very much for listening and commenting. I'm glad you liked the tune.

Freddy J: 

Tell the man to lighten up and quit working you so hard

Well, the truth is, I'm basically incompetent so I'm lucky to have a job at all
Thanks for stopping by and for the kind words.

Alegria:

I imagine you are using a matched pair (AKG C1000)?

umm...no.  They're left over from my gigging days and were purchased years ago and years apart.
As for phase issues, maybe that's the problem?  Actually I think it's compression that's bugging me.
I'll have to mess with it some more and see what I can do. 

darylcrowley: Hey Daryl, you are way too kind, my friend .  I've always played fingerstlye to some extent but once I stopped working in bands it became more important to me to be able make as much noise by myself as possible.
It's cool to hear that you're working on fingerstyle playing, too.  There are lots of fingerstyle jazz players,
as I'm sure you know.  And lots of other styles to listen to for inspiration. Keep pushin' that bar, dude and I
look forward to hearing the results of your hard work.
Thanks, again.

So, how do you do dat?  I don't have much to say except, UDAMAN!  Warm up that steel, buddy!  I didn't hear any breathing except mine when I was listening to that playing thang you do!
