this singing and playing the guitar malarkay at the same time gives me the sweats. i struggle to get a tune out of a guitar on its own never mind singing and playing at the same time. hats of to all the guys here that do it on a regular basis.
anyway woolies guitar plugged into guitar in, hit record guitar and mic thingy so i could so it recorded via guitar in and onboard mic at the same time.
anyway one of my favourite captain beefheart songs..............murdered.

Superbly done, Jim. I really like these guitar songs of yours.
I hadn't heard this one before, but you have truly made it your own.
And now there's another Beefheart album which you've turned me on to. ;D

I so often forget that you CAN actually play a guitar Jim. It's great hearing posts like this. You definitely have to do more.

Francis was the lead singer and guitarist of "It Bites". His solowork is really great. I've seen him twice in "house-conserts" and he's really amazing both as an entertainer, and a songwriter/musician. And he's got a great voice.

One of my all time fave Capn B songs as well so I approached this with a bit of trepidation............................ but you aced it! Love it, you did it slightly differently so it has your own unique feel, the vocal performance is stunning. Really, really liked it, you did the good Captain proud. Upon the my oh my next please!
Cheers,

Don't ever stop hitting those instruments.
Agree with Geir that you sound remarkably like Frank Dunnery - which is a major good thing in my book also.
You are a really versatile muso.
