In The Middle - In The Middle
September 4, 2007
Since I have nothing new ready, I thought I'd dig out this moldy oldie. It's not really a song, it's just this thing my old band played one time while messing around. In The Middle was the name of the band and I call the piece In The Middle as well because of the stuff people are saying at the beginning. This was recorded on video back in the spring of 1989 and can be seen on YouTube, HERE. I always kind of liked this thing because I was really relaxed and not thinking much and I like the notes I played. Even the mistakes sound good to me. The guitar used on this later became the beat up star guitar. Everything on it is the same except for the body.

Experiments in guitar recording.
Little nuggets of guitar playing for your (but especially my) enjoyment.
From the very beginning when I used to hear those solos on those old records I used to say: now here is an instrument that is capable of spewing forth true obscenity, you know? If ever there's an obscene noise to be made on an instrument, it's going to come out of a guitar. On a saxophone you can play sleaze. On a bass you can play balls. But on a guitar you can be truly obscene... Let's be realistic about this, the guitar can be the single most blasphemous device on the face of the earth. That's why I like it... The disgusting stink of a too-loud electric guitar: now that's my idea of a good time.
