pretty off topic since it doesnt have to do with pedals at all.
i just finished Jeff Healey's version of "while my guitar gently weeps." im looking for new ideas for songs to learn. i never did finish Texas Floods, maybe ill start that one up again.
what are you guys playing lately? give me some ideas!! |

I'm working on a song that is so much a Rush-ripoff that it's embarrasing. Unfortunately the drum part became so difficult that I haven't been able to play it yet.
I have therefore taken a break from that song to record my own version of Any Time At All by The Beatles instead.
Oh and I'm working on a web version of the serial number archive, a new single ended valve amp and a bird house too  |

| I am working on something completely different: I am writing a punk soundtrack to a 15 minute American labour film made in 1936 called Millions of Us http://www.archive.org/details/millions_of_us purely for the fun and challenge of it. |

Wow that's cool redundant.As soon as I finished watching that clip, I dug out my flattop and played Woodie Guthrie's Hard Travelin'. I have some Ramblin Jack Elliot records, If I had a decent needle for my old turntable I'd give them a listen. Are you going to include any depression era tunes?

I'm using an old Wobbly song Hallelujah, I'm a Bum http://www.archive.org/details/Bum as the opening track, but it now sounds like a Ramones song. Thing is, I'm writing to fit the film, so songs end with the film fadeout/scene changes, which during the first part of the film means four songs that run reasonable lengths. Problem/challenge is, the last sequence of the film has no fadeouts & runs for over 7 minutes - I have never written anything that long before (most my songs are half that:) |

I jam along to it also, or a minute after it's played if I have to go grab a guitar. It's a fun song, fast useally equals fun. The problem is when I jam that song out in front of people they never know what it is, "Come on people, King Of The Hill" and still they don't remember. |

| People associate this song with that jingling xylophone sound in the turn around, so without that they don't recognize the song from just the guitar part. |

well i finally started a new tune.
Little Wing.. such a beautiful song. i always forget how good of a guitarist Hendrix was until i start to learn one of his songs. the timing in which he plays the notes is very unusual in some parts and he used his F%$(&*# thumb to sound the bass notes making his style hard to mimic when playing regularly. |
