Really nice playing.  Needs a bass!  Love the dirt.

Thanks Wookie. Non-point taken
 
Thanks Lynn. Go for it. I've got a bunch of slides, but this little Dunlop 204 is by far my favorite on the electrics.
 
Rimshot, good to see you. I sent my bass player this track, so hopefully, he is getting the itch to lay down a bass track for it.
I love a nice, dirty slide, and this  is a blast to play. Thanks.

Very cool!   I like that the slide leads the entire song 'cause it sure done sound good.

Thanks, Steve. That means a  lot. The past few weeks have been a running battle finding the right tone for this.
I finally settled on a high gain, cleanish setting on my RP80, and moderately altered "Almost Texan" preset in ACME BarGig Shred. Too bad it's not available any more because I'd like to recommend it to people looking for amp sims.

Well, I think you chose a good one!   
 
I do have an Acme BarGig freebie, maybe Shred?, but I don't open it often.   I may have to do so again...

I think I also have that Acme BarGig (Shred + some others) buried somewhere in the HD and haven't used much of it accept to see how it sounds.
 
Robert, I gave this song another listen x2 and it's just a catchy piece of guitar work that keeps playing in my head. Good stuff!!
 
Ok, what's you Bass players number??? I'll have Guido give him a call.....
We need to get him on this train track ASAP!!!

As the song played my smile got bigger and bigger! Plus head bobbin! When it finished you got a "HELL YEAH!" from me! Powerful feel there Bob! You have a fine voice for that style too so now that the ice is broken you can add vox as needed  .... the more I think about it you may be on to something with the sound .. more experimentation is needed!

Nice  stuff. Sounds like some good authentic Delta Blues with Tom Petty telling a story.
 
Well done!

I just got home from a grueling 15 hour day, and this was nice to see.
I think Danny was involved with Shred just before the Headcase project. It was a nice little freebie. Like many amp sims, a lot of the presets don't do anything for me, but it has a few that I really like. With a little tweaking, it does alright. It is 32 bit, and can be a bit cranky under bit bridge. I haven't tried J-Bridge yet. Still. it is one of my go-to's.
 
Mesh, glad you came back for more. This little tune is an absolute blast to play and I'm happy to see you enjoy listening to it.
Guido will have to stand down for a bit, though. My daughter is getting married the first week of September, and all projects are on hold until after that event. In the meantime, Dave is kicking around some bass lines.
 
Bill, you made my day. Thanks, bro.
 
GP, Thanks man. You know, I have a deep respect for vocalists, because I find it exceptionally difficult to listen to my own voice. Tom Petty, eh?  I'll take it.
 
Stevec, thanks again.
