This is the crazy sh!t I like playing when practicing. I noodled this one to death. I call it "This Ain't Your Daddy's Blues" Just click on my profile.

Mikey,

Man you were right on target with the EV EC depiction,,I honestly DID hear that and woulda thought of the 2 players had you not even mentioned it..Yeah , its funny, at the beginning , I thought now thats not "clean" enough for Clapton, (says DAD) THEN thought of the EV influence (Son tellin it like it IS). :lol: ..
Pretty Wild :!: ..Very tastefully done...5 stars :!:

Man, all I can really say is 'awesomeness'. :)

I'd like to pick your brain a little though.
That's a lot of noodling. Do you just go for it and play all the way through
the song, maybe do a couple different takes and pick one?
Or, do you do some here and do some there, and patch it together afterwards?
Or maybe get a couple of passes to home in on what you want, then learn the phrases and go back and play all the way through?

Basically, what's your way of cutting leads?

Thanks guys! Gtzip, That one was done in one take all the way through. It was done just for fun while I practicing and it was never meant to be a real song.

I can easily hear some down and dirty vocals on this one. Two to three intro guitar solo verses, two fisherman bob vocal verses, a raging guitar lead in the middle, then a dramatic stop fisherman bob vocal verse, lots of dynamics, you could turn this into a killer song Mike. Later...
