Clock is Tickin'

[Pine]

Hi guys...
  Always wanted to try my hand at a "funky blues"..some songs seem to take forever to put together. This one all but wrote itself. I love it when that happens!!

Where the hell does the time go? Seems i was a kid just the other day and now i'm closin' fast on 60. Kinda where this song is at...

" The Clock is Tickin' "

Perfect production again !!!

Ahh i like this kinda blues!! Lifts my spirit on a cr¤ppy day !!!

Great harmonies and I love that lead vox too !! You sound like your having fun, and that's always a major plus for me!!!!

Impeccable playing as always!!

Thanks Geir...Comments very much appreciated! I was just listenning to your song Happy Guitars over at SC...great fun there! Clean sound and neat tone to that punky beat that i love (i've never done a punk song and always wanted to). I had heard it before and had it confused with a vid (per PM) that was a punky tune. You play very well!

Well Done!
First of all the concept and lyrics hit a spot with me.....
The funky rhythm is excellent and I love the tone of the lead...
The production is the dogz too
I know I'm being cheeky but I'd love a copy of the rhythm to jam over

Thanks! yes,,two vocal tracks on the choruses..melody, harmony. If you mean on verses..no..i use the patch with a bit of delay for that rockabilly ambience sound.

I also doubled the guitar in real time an octave up. I could of done that with a doubler or with my harmonizer but then it would be "perfect synch"...and i don't like that sound...reminds me of todays music...lol.

Thanks Mike..really appreciate your comments. The BR is an amazing machine. Much more amazing than this old hippie!

As for a copy of the rhythm...not sure what you use for rhythm backing tracks. I used my Boss DR-3 for this...and it was just a preset  "funky blues" i believe. It's just a 1-4-5 in A with that little melody lick for the turnaround.

I worked on a song for about 8 hours and finally got so aggravated i deleted it all. I needed and wanted one more tune to finish my cd so i turned to my BOSS DR-3 and found that setting. (preset) I recorded  about 3 minutes of it...including a preset ending. The lyrics came out in 5 minutes and the music was easy as well because the backing track was a simple progression that i just bluesified with minor 7th chords. Man i wish every tune could hatch like that. Not often the case! What do you use for bass/drum tracks?
