Hi All, woke up this morning..etc,etc  ; )  I found this backingtrack on a backup disc, don't know where it's from. Deciced to noodle a bit over the top, got too tired after 3 minutes.  Anyway just a one take bit of fun, don't have an electric guitar so it's my ovation pretending to be one ; )
 
Thanks for listening ; )

Hi Rik ,
 
Your guitar playing sounds very nice on this 
No wonder your feeling tired . You bent just about every other note on your guitars neck for most of the song . 
 
 
 
I do know the backing track , and it is certainly a nice track to play over .
Pete Anderson came up with this track for Guitar Center . This track was one the contestants could play over for the King Of the Blues Guitar Center contest they were running back then .(2011)
The backing track name is Big Band Blues …
If you want to hear what I've done with this track , I have it up over at my soundclik page listed as G.C.Big Band Blues w Telecaster …
 
Hey Bro keep on playing no matter what . 
have a good one , 
Kenny

Hi Kenny, love your take on this. I remember you taking part in a contest, was that this one ?
 
I was literally too tired to play the entire track but it was fun to do : )

Hi Rik, 
I'm glad you dug mine . 
I dug your playing on this BT …you sound a little like one of my favorite Blues Guitarists Roy Buchanan .
 
all the best ,
 
Kenny

Hi Kenny, at least you've got a great story to tell, maybe write a blues song about  it ; )  Wished I had friends like yours, wished I had a Les Paul. I played a Gibson SG in the late seventies, Les pauls were more than double the price in Holland at that time.  Roy Buchanan eh?  That's way to much honour.  I'd love to here you play "The messiah will come again".

Your Ovation is a great pretender for sure. Sounds just like a Tele.

Great sound out of that ovation, sounds a bit like a tele to me too. I love your playing, it's very comfortable, very authoritative and honest here. Love me some blues.
