Well, from someone who told me recently they were not into lead guitar, that was a surprise! Bends too! Really good.
It will be no surprise to you however to learn that I don’t know the song.
I enjoyed it. I thought your Trio+ backing track was great. Was that a loop with the picked guitar? The high gain worked well and the dynamic harsh strums worked well.
Your vocal suited the song and as you say, very different from your normal stuff. ‘ Normal’. Is there such a thing in BL land?
Haha, keep your leering eyes off my blue baby, mister. I thank you kindly for introducing us, but it stops there
Yes, I’ve noticed the symphonic shred-fest fronted by powerful ladies… A niche I have yet to get to learn to appreciate properly
Ta for the listen and chat
It’s not just the song- It’s the band that’s woefully under-appreciated. They’ve been going forever and have a ton of material. Alas, i feel such a fate awaits my genius as well
Regarding the ‘lead’ bit: I do really like some lead/solos, but so much of it often seems like ‘filler’.
That said, I am still amazed whenever I play a pattern over a progression and it ‘fits’-
Magic really
Yes the Trio was straightforward enough as it’s the same chord progression throughout the whole song. I’m still blown away how folk can write different melodies over the same progression.
I then put a simple clean arpeggio loop on top, which I sometimes followed ‘live’ or alternated with strums. I may come back to this in the future, as I’m sure it would sound a lot better with a bit more attention in a DAW.
‘Normal’? Hmm… I think I find myself constantly trying to dismantle people’s impression of what they think of me
Ta for the ongoing support!
That was great Brian really wasn’t expecting to hear any lead, wow it’s a first I think I saw you doing that! Definitely get out of your comfy slippers more often, new pair of shiny shoes looked good on ya! all the best!
Sounded good musically, Very nice guitar playing all the way around. Nice melodic lead playing. You seemed to have some affinity for the source material’s lyrics and point of view. Well done, sir!
Hi Brian!
You chose an unknown (for me) song again with meaningful and multilevel lyrics. So I had to look for the text and read it, because I don’t understand everything by ear. But it was worth it!
Great job, my friend.
And although I can’t see your guitar, I can hear it perfectly
Waiting for new songs,
Leo
Hi Brian,
Nice performance I enjoyed it …applause…
And then… you play solo , …But no camera on your guitar and then you come up with such a story that your vision gets worse ,difficult to remember text bla bla …if we couldn’t see it, maybe it won’t happen at all ey,…and your friend might be secretly playing behind you…
Who in the world do you constantly think differently about you … that ship has passed…
I’m one of the few people I know who buys second hand shoes in charity shops. My friend calls them ‘dead men’s shoes’
@CT Cheers Clint. I’ll take musical from you as a high compliment indeed.
As a faithful church-going Roman Catholic, I did have some interesting internal debates as to when criticism of institutions you are part of becomes disloyal, but I reconcile it with telling myself it’s all about human follies. I’ll be first in line to start casting stones at myself
@roger_holland Not quite Blind Willie Johnson, but Blind Brian Larsen does have a certain je ne sais quoi
A bit embarrassing actually: I just came back from the opticians-
Turns out I’ve been wearing my old specs for the last year instead of the increased strength lenses that I was given (bottom of coke bottle-thickness).
Not that it makes much difference- they’ve got worse again and I’m being referred to the surgeons for cataract surgery.
I thought I was going to get old gracefully
… and later!
In the last millennium I used to use a translation site called Babel-fish for the belly-laugh-inducing surreal entertainment it provided.
Your comments sometimes make me feel nostalgic
Hey, I forgot the @crocodile1!
Always a pleasure to read your comments
Even for us mother-tongue-mothers, there’s a lot of unintelligible lyrics in this band’s work.
Sometimes that’s the secret of success
Haha, gotta love the Gogol
I was at a Manu Chao gig 15 years ago and the drummer was sporting a Gogol Bordello T-shirt. No idea what it meant, but Google did
Nothing like a bit of irreverent chaos every now and again to counterbalance our discipline
You know I love some Southern Rock but it don’t have to be the southern “States”, I’ll take Bulgaria if needs be. Ok may be well off base geographically You should get @Richard_close2u to identify the Modes in that playlist. It’ll keep him busy for a while, some enticing exotica at play.
all the best!
…applause…
