Title: 'Drunken Ventriloquist Blues' - Greeny Original
Post by: Greeny (No longer active) on March 07, 2011, 05:22:46 AM
Not standard Greeny-fare...  :D

Just me having a laugh with one of my Les Pauls. I have a stripped satin mahogany one that has a lovely warm jazz / blues tone on the neck pick-up. This is how it sounds (would sound even better in the hands of a proper blues player, lol).

All me on the MBR.

Sublime blues with strong feeling, bro! I remember being like that a couple days ago. Did I just say that?? Yup I did...

Great tune, Tim!

Ha! that's wht you think! It's classic Greeny, fun, dark, off the wall. Brilliant Tim. I want to be an alcoholic now because of this. Who says the PS3 has bred violence in our society eh?

Pass me the bottle.....

How could you not listen to a song called Drunken Ventriloquist Blues - great feel to this and the guitar does sound really very nice. Good one Greeny as always a bit different to the norm - great stuff.

Nice change from your usual fare, the Les Paul sounds sweet as a nut. Brilliant song title too.

Blues ain't usually my thing, but Green is ;D

Brilliant Tim, loved it! Sounds pretty bluesy to me, lovely sounds on the guitar and I love what you are doing with the guitar parts. Very clever indeed. Great quirky lyrics, I can make a big chunk of them out and I really liked what I heard. It's the blues with an English twist!

Cheers,

Nigel

My Thoughts as well!

You  Switch Genre like this because you are pure class! Different But it is definately Greeny!




I can safely say that this is my favourite blues song of all time!
Finally I have a blues song I can say I like without a shadow of doubt!!!
Nearly a swing number!

It has a Blue coat meets 18-30's flair that is true to a very british holiday expirience!

Write a song called "asleep in the afternoon" and this would be my perfect holiday combo!!

Love the fact that the ventriloquist has found his was back into your story line!

Love your stuff bro!

Wicked guitar - smooth, slick, and gritty all at once. Fun lyrics - I love a good drinking song, and this is a nice twist on the genre.

Oh I absolutely love this (I used to have a vent section in my act where someone from the audience used to sing Ave Maria -happy days)
