i had a visit from the good Sir Flash to celebrate my birthday. Whilst he was here he got all my HB guitars and fine tuned their settings, i might be able to play my 12 string now. Oh wait i used it on this one.
A wee jam we had at rotten towers for the instrumental festival. i played some bass guitar and lead on the 12 string and Mike played lead and rythmn on the fender tele.

I'm surprised theres no vocal to me it's an excellent track but screaming out for one ...... you know you want to do one James ... don't you ?

it's great as an instrumental.. but as Trev says this could easily get some great vocals on it...

but I am sure you were just really enjoying each others company..

a really nice feel..

Stellar funky vibe here! I love that rhythmic guitar right up from, the mix is done thoughtfully so nothing oversteps anything else. I really dig all the subtle parts thrown in as well. A great collab!

That is smooooooooth.   

Funky mellowness or is it mellow funkiness? .... with some lovely melodic licks added for good measure.


I need to get to that rotten tower and inspect the plethora of new gear since I last visited

I really like this.

I keep finding myself writing 'that remids me of Pocupine Tree' on several comments, but it does! When I listened to the PT track I was thinking of however its totally different!

Right I'm going to listend to the vocal version now...

Listened to the vocal version first and both versions work and are both enjoyable.     Willie

This really grooves. Some really tasty playing and that melody really soars driven along by that solid bass playing. Great collab chaps.

yes. Flash left it for me to baby sit it for him. Had a wee shot of it last night and do not have a clue where to start with it. No manual, I wonder if that Norwegian lady can help.

Just turn it on....hit a preset...find one you like and then twiddle the knobs and faders.....see what sounds you can conjure

Loving the delay. The texture here is tasty. And the mix sounds stellar as well. I'll have to check out the vocalized version.

ahhhhhh.... the one with the vocals is really good... but it is also a bit different.  so the one with the instruments works very well... but also the other... nice...nice...
