Title: "Mr. Bill and the Jackass"
Post by: Blooby on October 26, 2023, 11:50:30 AM

Title came from a one-off Marshall Bluesbreaker clone that had some characters from Shrek on it. Shrek's ears light up when it's on. Sounds good, too. Check out the small builder Little River Customs (Reverb.com and I believe Facebook). The owner has a tendency to slash prices mightily when the mood strikes him. Puts the guts of overdrives and fuzzes into die-cast cars as well. Very cool.

I goaded my non-musical brother Paul into taking the faux-keyboard freak-out solo. I am still disappointed no cape was involved.

I know that shaker is intrusively loud, but it was part of that wav percussion loop I dug.

Peace.

Well constructed with killer leads and tones galore! Shaker's fine. Very cool piece of work! 8) Should enter in instrumental feast.

shaker works:  caution:  my hearing is a bit off!
the mix sounds great to me.  I love your bass mix here... I get befuddled with the bottom often... this is really clean.  great soloing man
bass work is awesome also...really got it.  that ending is badass

The shaker sounds ok to me. Great lead tone and playing on the guitar. I like that low growling bass. A cool listen!

Frigging cool instrumental! I love your phrasing and production sounds just right to me (shaker and all!). I enjoyed hearing this!

A saw a lot of booties shaking while listening to this.

All imaginery of course, but you can share the visuals. Unfortunately my ability to mentally cast the visuals are limited so because of the static firm booties might turn into flabby ones...

I hope you still enjoy them. Like i did with the song.

Great guitar work, reminds me of Geir in parts.
The fluency of the runs is top notch.
Great rhythm parts as well.
Excellent

This is great. That guitar is wicked. Real fast fingers..Reminded me of some Eric Clapton stuff. All the music is so well constructed. I love the beat and the shaker sounds fine.

Well well. This is why I need to get a plane ticket to Florida. I need to see you live.

Your guitar playing is so inspirational. It's so playful and effortless and just a joy to listen to.


I am a fan!!!

Great instrumental and stellar guitar work. Nice cool bluesy vibe interspersed with other genres and what a great feel along with terrific production.
