The opening organ and guitars sound cool Paul. Trevor's bluesy vocal and lyrics are top notch. The strings are top notch. The lead guitar work is very tone-full and tasty. I got same eye opening revelation hearing the strings here as I did when I first heard strings in the song Brother Louie by Stories in 1973. Great work gentlemen!

A real good rocker, Ron! I have to say you are a real maniac on the guitar. Excellent growl in the vocals and the guitars. Another rockin' winner!

Gear Lust / New Guitar - Taylor nylon

Last post by chapperz66 - Today at 07:08:47 AM

I have been thinking about getting a good nylon string guitar for some time, and I spotted this black beauty.
So I flashed the credit card.  After all, you can't take it with you.

Original Songs / Act Like a Maniac

Last post by Ron D Bowes - Today at 06:57:57 AM

I had a blast doing this one

ACT LIKE A MANIAC

I'm tired of doing time, got the police knockin' on my door
I live a life of crime, but I don't think I can take anymore

I'm on the locomotive and I'm heading down the track
I'm leaving this one-horse town and I won't be back
Gonna break all the rules and act like a maniac

I'm mad with frustration and I think I'm gonna lose control
You can lay down your law, but by now you know I won't be told

I'm on the locomotive and I'm heading down the track
I'm leaving this one-horse town and I won't be back
Gonna break all the rules and act like a maniac

I'm on the locomotive and I'm heading down the track
I'm leaving this one-horse town and I won't be back
Gonna break all the rules, gonna act like a maniac

Gonna act
Gonna act like a maniac

Gonna act
Gonna act like a maniac

Original Songs / Please Don't Go - a Tworegs Ch...

Last post by chapperz66 - Today at 06:43:14 AM

This is a revamp of the first collaboration we did.  In my ignorance I didn't realise that it was a cover of a song.  I just redid the backing based on Mr Smith's version - so it wasn't much like the original or the more famous slightly later version..  But it worked  rather well and we decided to revisit it with Trevor's new lyrics. I added some more strings and mixed it again - I have got a bit better at it over recent years.  I think this is a justified original song now.

Apologies if I have asked previously, but what are you using for guitar tones? They always sound great.

Cool tune.

Mostly I use my custom Telecaster which has a Humbucker at the neck and a single coil at the bridge (and use combinations thereof) put through my Marshall MG10. usually one through clean and another through overdrive. Various pedals and/or plug ins are used if I so desire ;-)

Guitars and Basses / Re: New Guitar - Fender Jaguar

Last post by Pete C - Today at 05:26:15 AM

I came here to vibe your (and mine as we've got the same ones!) guitar and then some new things popped my eyes.

Sweet Child'O Mine with a Jaguar? I guess it's doable, but doesn't it just feel plain wrong?

Also i noticed that you're hanging that Jaguar way low. In a real rock star manner. Still reaching the Sweet Child'O Mine parts without probs?

Still very much in love with my Jag after nearly 5 years ! I've used it for the second set on every gig with my soul band and it's still hanging fairly low. We actually played Sweet Child o'Mine at the last gig before lockdown by my previous band but it wasn't right on the Jag as they don't have the sustain to pull it off so I had to use my Les Paul for that.  Here's a clip (the singer is blocking the view of me !)
