Thanks for noticing that.It's quite tricky to learn that bit Boogie style as it's a very fast synchopation against the rhythm but when I was a lot younger I was into a lot of the older style fast American guitar players/bands like the Allmans/Ten Years After etc and on the Brit side Dr-Feelgood and Foghat.
There's also one of my patent sneaky 3 note 7th inversions when I do the D vamp.

and of course one of the best White blues players that ever graced us,

Whose acoustic work to me has never been bettered.

Hey Paul, like i said on your myspace page, i really like "Kill the Blues" truly well done my friend, very skillful playing there for sure!


As i posted my comment "A right mess" started playing, you know the melody line to this one is just great, really got a hook to it.

Stupid games is really catchy too, hey man you've got a great bunch of hits on your deck, wishing you the best. 8)

Thanks M8,

I went direct with the Guitar through the Toneport GX/Gearbox and duplicated the track in Mixcraft and panned them just off centre and moved a 1/64th delay(I think) on one track so as to leave the Vocals/drums and bass in the middle of the mix.The Harp was done on the same setting as the vocal but again I duplicated the track but this time used the 1/64th ish trick again but panned them hard left and right.
I added a bit of Slappy echo to one side of the Harp and I had a bit of Verb on the Guitar from Gearbox.I'm not into putting the sounds onto a dry track on guitar now.Been trough that phaze and prefer to get the sounds pretty close and record them wet.
One thing I do know and read was that I actually record with less distortion on a guitar than I hear it live e.g just tweak a bit off as it seems to be better.I can alwaus add more back with a VST if I really need to.

Good Job! It has a nice "live" feel to it. I like it!
