Portales Blues
October 12, 2007
This is a short bit of some guitar playing that reminds me of sitting alone in my dorm room in New Mexico playing my acoustic guitar with one of those big metal tube magic markers, and wishing I was back home in New Jersey. Instead this thing was played on my beat up star guitar with the bottom part of a metal microphone. I'm also not nearly as blue as I was then. ;) I over dubbed some backing notes and a little melody line, using the strat. I felt like the week was rapidly ending and I hadn't worked on anything yet, so I threw this together in a few minutes. I'm hoping for some inspiration soon.Comments

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.
