JC , Awsome pieces...
Blu Bell Rocks, and like you said, its swing.. NIce guitar work...

Sea Challenger is really cool... I have to ask..(and please dont kick me too hard for me being stupid...) but, by any chance...was there some sport fishing going on, which inspired this piece...?

Thank you,
your very generous,

actuality DEEPSEA CHALLENGER is the name of that craft that James Cameron went to the bottom Marianas in.
I don't think he would be very flattered, but I had fun doing this.
I think I almost pulled it off.

Well , your rendition evoked a lot of vivid water turbulance, that would include cavitation from a speeding boat's screws, to a fighting marlin... Whole lotta of water ...followed by a soft landing at the bottom... So yeah, You did good!

thanks again,
yea you have to admire a guy like that,
I mean seriously, there is not a thing down there but the good possibility of a very quick death! not even a very good view.

Deep Sea Challenger is wild and trippy. I liked it very much. I was waiting for you to break out some whole-tone scales fur the underwater feel

Curious on what type of guitar synth you are using. Roland maybe?

Thank you,
I thought about a more complex lead line but seemed to be getting a bit busy as it was.
so I left off

the synth is a AXE 50 converter pushing a virtual Moog 55 modular
The guitar is a Ibanez RG550 with a graphtech floyd bridge
I took out the other pickups and wiring to increase sustain.

Well Hot Damn!
Did I just hear some 7th's on that axe...
I wonder if you've work so much out of the box.. could you find your way back in.
You're onto something imo.
I certainly wouldn't try to dictate to you what to play but I wonder if you moved yourself a little closer to center or maybe start from center and weave yourself in and out to right field so to speak...
Too conforming or confining maybe? Maybe not. Would be interesting to hear though.
Blu bell was close to that weave at times.
I enjoyed it.

well that is high praise indeed!
a little closer to the center, huh?
I try to be accommodating, I really do
I know it doesn't show, that probably cause it is sometimes difficult to work out just who to be accommodating to.

Too bad I gave up smoking pot ...

you wouldn't have liked it even when you smoked pot.

Actually just the reveres was true ... I did like it.

I could see myself now finally made it home parked safely in the garage vegetating to some trippy sounds just before I pass smooth out and wake up late for work.

Sound familiar ?

It strikes a distant chord.....

be that as it may;
I'm glad you could appreciate parts of it.

Now, that wasn't so hard, was it?
