Includes Heather coming to the door and going on about which card I
used in the pub.
|
Cane emailed me the same backing track, so here's my attempt:
|
Excellent effort. Very soulful and melodic with so nice rock shapes
thrown in too.
I'll mail you some others when I get home tonight.
Anyone else want a copy of this?
|
Cheers. I'll have a bash later. Dunno what the recording quality of my
(still, with video & sound) camera will look like, mind.
I suppose just playing something close to the original will be viewed
as a cop-out, yes?
|
It's a Floyd type of track in the style of rather than an actual Pink
Floyd song. So whatever you do will be the original.

We eagerly await your YouTube posting.
If any TV channels come up with a 'celebrities playing guitar to
backing tracks' reality show, it's my idea ok, so I'll sue yer arses.
|
Yes please.
|
|
|
This is turning into musical soggy-biscuit...
|
I could provide the equivalent of the wet shoe lace if you like, me and
me Uke.

|
I found this the other day:
|
Not quick enough ! Got it here.
|
Me on guitar, my younger brother on bass and our friend Tom on drums.
Recorded in Tom's bedroom with a cassette recorder on the floor in the
middle of us.
I think I was about 19, so Pete would've been 16 and Tom 20.
|
"I could play "Stairway To Heaven" when I was 19 - Jimmy Page didn't
write it til he was 23 - I think that says something".
|
Brilliant film :)
|
It wasn't a film. It was a TV episode ...
... or are you thinking of "This Is Spinal Tap"? Coz it's taken from
"Bad News", the "Comic Strip Presents" episode.
|
I remember it alright. "..eavy metal, top of the class, stuff the media
up yer arse!"
|
"I'm going to sit in the van until he says we're a metal band".
|
"I didn't join this band to play progressive rock"
|
|
|
Strewth, now I've gone all pedantic too - Fisher's Syndrome, they call
it.
|
Oi. I wouldn't wish that on anyone - web-search it.

I was using a fairly cheap webcam, which appears to be considerably
worse than a mobile phone in capturing video. Also, after uploading
to youtub it seems to have created lots of fractal style effects
whenever I move. Sound seems ok tho.
|
Very good Champ, I liked that.
|
|
|
Atmospheric. The spontaneous fractal effects would have taken ages to
achieve on purpose. At one point they made you look a tiny bit like
Trotsky, including the specs, but without a moustache (or beard).
A bit too 'unstructured' for my taste but excellent technique non the
less.
|
Thanks for the compliment. It was unstructered cos that was only my
3rd or 4th take. With a bit of work I'm sure I could make it more
melodic; really I was just noodling.

Pretty good, but Les Paul you're not. 8/10
|
Thanks, that means a lot.
|
|
|
You wanna keep Archie off the Stella, and yer missus?....I would, even
if she is a hoodie thug :-)
|
She can punch... Christ, can she punch!
|
|
|
That'll go to the top of VAM fantasy chart courtesy of the guest
appearance.
|
|
Well Archie was really good...
|
|
PS: specifically, what's the backing track from? Are they easy to
find?
|
To be honest Neal, I'm not that sure where that one came from but I've
a library of backing tracks, all different styles, that I use for
exercise. That's just one of them.
|
I could do with something like that. I usually play along to the
records we cover, but I need to stretch a bit. Can you tell me where
you got your tracks from? Or do me a cheeky copy?
|
|
At first I thought maybe a Gary Moore track; also has a very Pink
Floyd sound to it. Sounded good to me, anyway.
|
Indeedy. He made it look easy too, which is a good trick.
|
|
|
|
|
Nice one.
The tone you've got out of that guitar and stack is superb in the low
and midrange.
