high density purple cheese Well I'm back. I'm not so sure about this one, but as in previous recordings, I started it, so I must finish it, no matter how painful. ;) There are like a million overdubs on this thing. I really went overboard, but it was fun to do so screw it. My soloing is kind of sloppy and not structured real well, but I can only take so much before I want to kill something. The truth is I don't practice enough and I'm not all that great at soloing. Heavy rhythm parts where always my thing. Anyway, the two main solos are OK and not even close to perfect but after I had them I said ENOUGH. No more. I'm not all that interested in this! The general gist is there, so there is stays. I do feel like I had a nice guitar sound on this though. I messed around with my amp quite a bit before recording. There are 5 different amp tones and one tone that is a different guitar. I did some double tracking and panning to make a nice rhythm tone and also did some fake doubling of the solos.

OK - I doubt anyone will answer this, but where did I steal the main riff from? I mouthed it to myself before I started this project, but after I played it I felt like I had heard it before. I'm sure I have. It's so basic, I had to have ripped it off from some song, but I don't know where. Well where ever it's from, I tried to do my own thing with it...

I used the Parker for everything accept the first main solo, which is the Strat.

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.
