man thank god for drummers.. you can depend on them to call you on it if you were
sleepin with the drum track.. I forgot when making NEW BLUE to go back and vary the
drum loop a bit more.. and Dicarlo spotted it immediately.. just a loop with only 2 rolls in
the whole thing.. no ride or crash cymbals.. lol.. so now finally I've gota round to remixing it..
had a blast not overdoing the rolls and crashes lol.. and a general tweak was in order..
turned down the loud lead solos.. and the vocals too.. got more live feel now.. bass drums and guitar jammin together.. if you haven't heard it already you're lucky.. this version is hopefully much better.. appreciate as always your listens and comments.. cheers..

I've been wanting to ask you all what kind of phones you use and/or recommend? and here's 2 problems.. nobody is listening about the posting thing.. put up my NEW BLUE last night and it was gone from sight in a few minutes cause of the over-posters.. why don't guys **** off?.. lol.. just kiddin.. so we have to spam all our friends to let em know we got a new one? that sucks imho..

so anyway problem number 2.. after i post a new one i always listen in my 2 pairs of headphones.. obviously they both sound different but my new song is strange.. in the sennheisers (my main mixing phones) the lead guitar sounds balanced just fine.. but in the old sony CD380's the leads are FRIGGIN LOUD !!!! never had this problem on any other of my tunes.. just wondering if any of you hear it the 2nd way.. leads WAY too loud?.. no reviewer's have said that yet.. just wondering.. and I really would like to know about your taste in phones.. which have the best mid, highs and bass? lol.. I know this should have been a forum question but alot more read the blogs.. lol.. thanks and please check out new blue if you're so inclined.. cheers fam.. )

man it sure feels great to be a guitarist again.. I really appreciate what this site has done for me.. brought me back to my roots.. GUITAR PLAYING !!!!!!!! so THANKS for all the thoughtful reviews for this new little BT jam.. FUNKIN WITH BOB.. awesome guitarist bob forbes (redeyeC) invited a great musician and guitarist we all know and love.. nigel potter.. and also me to collab for his M3 ensemble page on SC.. rapster got the funk and nigel and bob got the rock parts.. but the the two different beats and feels just didn't seem to match.. so we redid the thing.. changed the collab Colossus to the great rock beat.. I then took my funk parts and just glued them together to make a BT style jam for all you great guitar buddies out there cause that was a tradition on this site.. still alive and well in the forums I believe.. BT means backing track.. and I got to say once again that bob's beat and bass were just too cool not to go back to school and play all the way through like a mad fool..

what really inspired me too was to find frank's arabic looking pic cause it fit perfectly the type of sort of eastern sounding lines i had in mind.. and even better cause everybody tells me i remind them of frank.. so this bit of guitar jamming is in memory of frank zappa who also liked it exotic.. cheers..

for all my guitar playing friends out there.. thanks for the inspiration.. and for the tips..
love that new vamp.. gonna get me a line6 pod xt too.. lol.. and i've posted the lyrics
if anyone wants to read what the title flashin is really about.. cheers..
