'Amazing Grace' and one of Robert's backing tracks

[reb]

i alluded awhile back in another thread to snatching a 'used' Musician's Friend amp i had wanted a long time. it's a THD Univalve....playing with it tonight, i got 'this'-Epi LP,  Boss distortion, Boss PH-3,Boss DD7 into Univalve and VHT Special 6 (fake stereo from the DD7 outputs-VHT placed at 'echo' angle out of phase):

Gotta give you your props.... that was good! I enjoyed it. Very creative.

That's awesome, Reb! Thanks for sharing.

[reb]

thanks, guys. i've always heard 'change amps, change guitars and it'll change your technique'. i still sound like me, even when i change pickups, but the THD is about to cause me to send the VHT back, i think.

Great playing and awesome tone, reb! Nice break along about 7:45, 7:50

[reb]

thanks, pic!

i was thinking about this yesterday as i was listening to it again (trying to figure out if amazing grace has copyright-if it is public license now, i will post this thing over to soundclick).  i was trying to get a 'bagpipe' sound...and what i got was this phased delay...and i liked it

Too much feeling, here. Fantastic use of Dly. Nice playing from 4:47. Great jam, kind of BB King, nice job 

[reb]

thanks, jcp. my bull's name is BB King.

a friend of mine says 'you have to do something about THAT VOICE!!!'.

i tell her, 'one does the best one can with what one has. what have YOU DONE TODAY?'....and she changes the subject.

thanks, guys!  i just sent a few 'understanding friends' (who know me well enough to know, i have no-none-nada- shame...) the following link:

i said in the email:

"if, as a guitarist, you live long enough, you have some cheap whisky and cola, and then play guitar, you will...eventually, if not often....embarrass yourself. if you have some more cheap whisky, you will send evidence of your faux pas to your friends on email...Sick smile"

Robert, if you wish to delete this travesty, since it is not Canadian whisky i am drinking...i understand   perhaps Canadian would've helped?

Hahaha, good one. But I didn't mention the voice...
