Groovy stuff.. I really love the use of the whammy pedal ! Seeing as it's something you like doing and you're quite good at it, why not really dig in and make it a real strength ? Become a master at it !

A "Drunken Master"?

HA, seriously... I was practicing my linear shread and that riff somehow that ended up happening. I'm not sure how, it just hit me and I literally recorded it in like 10 minutes so it definately isn't any kind of polished tune, just a jam but I thought it had kinda a groovy vibe going on so I posted it.

Thanks Ben,

Mark

The tone and playing of this one sounds even better than the last. The whammy and playing has an unpredictable vibe. I like this!

Well if it works for a Jackie Chan movie....

Thanks guys, I kinda liked it. It was different and I just kept going with it. Wasn't sure if anyone else would like it but I liked the funky groove that the whammy added.

Ben is absolutely right! I think you should develop your OWN PERSONAL thing out of this whammy riffing! Great riffage by the way! I am really enjoying what I am hearing here!

It's always cool playing drunk, always come with some unique sounds and ideas which only you can find in your head..

Thanks Cos, I just get bored easy with "normal" riffing so I come up with whatever happens to pass through the empty space between my ears.





Yes, definitely some interesting sounds come from drunken people. They are less inhibited!

There's a point where the inhibition lack turns to slouching, bad hearing lack of focus and other nasty stuff while onstage. Getting drunk onstage is the worst mistake EVER Share a glass or two with your friends AFTER the gig if you feel like it!

Gee Cos, I wasn't really talking about guitar noises as being the interesting sounds...

Ooooooh Sorry, man Guess I'm too caught up with getting the perfect gig these days The Days of Confusion EP release is 5 days away and that kind of sucked all of my energy and thoughts, to be honest...
