Re: Song Im working on

Edward, leave your vocals in there. It's got that Tom Waites vibe which, for some reason, works for me contrasted with the Third Eye blind meets The Cars "All I Want is You" bouncy riff. Maybe just have the female vocalist do some harmony back up during the chorus. And it would be perfect ...

Re: Calling all Lead Guitarists!

On another tack... odd, being a "lead guitarist". Do many of you guys have "lead" and "rhythm" guitarists or do you just take turns, depending on the song? A lot of bands have that two "co-guitarist" relationship, sharing duties; others have defined lead and ...

Re: Return of the Gibson shocker thread!

Doesn't phase me one way or the other. I'm not looking for innovation; obviously, some (a lot of?) people are, and that's cool. I go for a sound I first heard 35 years ago, so innovation not required. As far as this axe - not my cuppa. As long as nobody's holding a gun to my head forcing me to buy o...

Re: My Cover of Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers "Breakdown"

Wow dude, that was amazing. For at least the first 10 secs I thought I was listening to the original track, you nailed it. Especially considering TP&THB worked like dogs over something like 100 takes to nail the original. That sounds about right :lol: . I don't think I had 100 takes (I know Tom...

Re: My Cover of Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers "Breakdown"

Thanks, for kind words fellas! I've always loved this song and thought it would be fun to have a go. It was quite challenging trying to get it as right as possible. Again, Bender REALLY helped me with some excellent advice.

Cool stuff. I like your sound. Tell your bass player to harden up - hippies only smell if you stand too close to them. :lol:

Not really a pedal enthusiast, so mine is pretty basic. Does the job for me.
