Title: Guitar/Percussion Jam II
Post by: Blooby on December 05, 2010, 01:09:16 PM

This is the first of 5-6 weekends I've actually been home.  I've lurked a bit with a wireless device, but it's nice to sit back with my feet on the desk for a few minutes.

My last post was an improvised guitar and percussion jam I then overdubbed some bass over.  This is from the same "session."  I got together with a guy about 5-6 years ago who had one of those Roland Octapads(?). We jammed for a bit, and then (after he left), I made a couple passes with bass, the envelope-filter tone, and the Satriani-tone toward the end.

I didn't think anything else from those jams was salvageable, but I heavily edited this to try and make it listenable.

Peace.

I've just played this three times in a row which is something I don't remember doing before, twice but never three. It sounds so simple but I suspect it took a lot of work to get to supurb level of creation. Loving it.............Willie

A fun listen and a wonderful jam!  Love the intracacies of the hand-played percussion and the guitar playing and tone. Lots of inventive stuff going on here as well as a high level of musicianship.  And that clarity of the production doesn't happen by accident.

Would I be nuts if said this reminded me Dixie Dregs? Maybe Brand X?

It's bringing back a flavor of some group I haven't heard in years, and I can't put my finger on it.

I was listening to this in the background, thinking that it must be either a cover of some half-remembered song, and if not that it must be Blooby.

It's fantastic.

I was listening to Mickey Hart's Planet Drum album the other day (I think he did it in '91 or so), and I was thinking of laying down some banjo improv to it. This reminds me of the sound I would be going for.
Your lead guitar is electrifying - reminds me of Santa, early '80s Garcia ... I like the bass that swoops in and out, too. An intense listen.

Brand X, whew, that's a flash from the past.  One Brand X drummer was actually Phil Collins
