hi bapu, thank you
hi Serious Noize!, glad you enjoyed the intro
I really enjoyed doing it & thank you for the kind words
hi Mark , Good to see you also
I'm glad you found something to love about Phat G...
oh yes ,the only bike I have been riding lately is a recumbent exercise bike that is attached to the floor ..
hi Dan, yes, thankfully I'm doing a better now
(knocking on my Tele headstock)
thank you for the kind words about the song, tone & playing
hi Jonbouy, I'm so glad to be back to be heard
hey you to ,
I was in a mental ward once, then I escaped & I've been running ever since
thank you for having fun during your listen , wishing me well ,& giving me a reason to share my talent
now might be a good time to talk a little about what guitars I used on Phat G..
the intro is a Les Paul clone ...a Samick Avion 3 ,
i used this guitar for the lead & arpeggio clean chords
this guitar came into my life when i realized (due to my injury's ) that i needed a smaller scaled neck for a few months to be able to even play the guitar
when the song starts to go mental
99% of the guitar parts are my 69 black maple necked Tele ..
erm I mean my 10 year old $69.99 maple neck black Tele affinity Squier that i bought used

the guitar on the left playing rhythm & accents is a full sized hollow body ..J Z -4
the guitar on the right playing chunka chunka is my Twangler Strat
conceptually ,
I was looking to establish a dialog between my guitar parts as they interacted during the songs play
to accomplish that goal I used different guitars on each of the solo's
intro = Les clone
1st guitar solo after synth phrase ..Twangler Strat ...this guitar was also used for the BB style solo
Tele was used for all the tremolo guitar parts , also used this guitar for the clean slow guitar solo & all of the palm muted guitar parts
the last guitar solo before the fade is my Samick Les clone.....
all guitars were recorded direct , & mixed in the box ...no amps were involved
I mention all of this since there might be guys saying to them self's
I need this or that ....expensive fill in the blank .......to sound good ....
in some cases that might be true...
over here at the mental ward we use what we got
