Still Got the Blues

You sound drunk on the first verse. The guitar playing is spot on. With a real drummer you could start a Tribute Band!

Seriously. Well done!

Near the end, I can hear the voice straining. Perhaps just move the song down a key? Fantastic guitar work brother BG.

At work now. Laptop's in the shop (after gnarly droppage, d00d) so I'll listen later.

I have to say though, I find it hard to listen to Still Got the Blues, since the lead part is just a complete rip-off of a Lionel Richie song:

tell me how to win your heart, for I haven't got a clue, but let me start by saying, I love you

- Whichever song that is.

I could hear it in my head but couldn't pick the name. You win, you sad person you

I don't think it's "Lady", I'm pretty sure it's "Hello". I remember the video clip back in the 80s where Lionel Ritchie was hitting on a blind woman

"Hello.....................is it me you're looking for?"

I'm quite disturbed by the fact the I know that.

woohoo! I'm not the loser I thought I was!!

apparently incubus covered it too... I'd be keen to hear this.

How many braincells do we fill up in our heads with info like this? This is honestly the first time I've had to access this fact and it's been stored in there for approx 20 years.
How much more rubbish is in there? Can I defrag my head and be able to access useful stuff quicker?
Or are there too many bad sectors obliterated by booze?

If a mime chops down a tree in the forest does anyone hear it?

I need to go and lie down.

Whoopsie - forgot to check this out till now (how'd it go on Saturday?)

Anyway, 'twas very cool (my aforementioned reservations about the song itself notwithstanding

).

One thing I would have liked to hear more was your vibrato. I couldn't really hear it on this track - I wonder how much of that is due to the amount of distortion on your tone - but I was wanting to hear you really milk some of those notes.

Oh, and

Cock goes where?
