Stumped instrumental

[Gu Djin]

Like Geir, I have been in Lurker mode for a while.  You know the sort of thing.  Life??  But I have been lending an ear to what's going on.  However just to let you know I still have a pulse.  Here is a little easy going instrumental.  

All tracks played straight through, hence the bloops, but I prefer this version to the more precise ones I did.  No Punch in , just a little mixing  All guitar is a Telecaster. The bass was an acoustic Dean Bass.  Just fun.  

The title.  Well I was watching the Ashes while working this up and I was stymied for a title - and then came up with stumped - for those who don't know it's "cricketing" term.  Accompanies by a shout of "Howzat" and icy looks, or jubilation depending on the umpires decision.

listening to this on tiny pc speaker cant wait to hear it on headphones, i can hear lots of nuances in the background but hard to pick them out on these speakers. really enjoying what i hear tho, i think its really suited for adding a vocal to. magic.

Ha ha I wouldn't mind hearing a vocal over this Jim.  Though I can't imagine what it would be like - feel free.  I have several other tracks that I put down for songs, but my voice is just is not up to it at the minute, due to a succession of colds and sore throats  Roll on summer.

I have another song which I will put up, which I think would even challenge your vocal talents.  Thinks?   Naw!  Maybe?  Yes! I'll put it up now before I forget and while I have a few minutes.

Thanks jim.  See Dangerous Streets.

I love the collab version, but this is just so cool on its own.

I don't know whether it was your intention but it sounds like a deliberate attempt to play at least one song over another. Excellent vibe, I can see why orh went for it vocal-wise.

EDIT: Actually, forgot to say, I'm about to start watching the Ashes - my missus got the DVDs for me birthday. We haven't got cable/satellite, so I only heard it on the radio, looking forward to it...

such a mellow feel good piece Leigh. I enjoyed it throughout.

Love the instrumental as well as the collab, you created something quite different and unique here.

Cheers,

Thanks all for the comments on this.  With ORH doing the vocal I sort of lost track of this.

Pleased you enjoyed

AndyR: hope you enjoyed the dvd of the ashes and just hope the one dayers didn't spoil it for you.

Your comment of two different tunes is actually quite apt - and is something I try to do when I work up a song.  Not a deliberate attempt to play two entirely different things - but and accompaniment that contrasts with the lead or melody.  Sometimes it's a rhythmic,or as on  this occasion a counter melody/accompaniment. 

It's just the way I hear songs in my head.  I don't wish to know what that signifies - thank you.  I just enjoy myself.  Laughs, Lol., Stupid looking smiley.
