spigotsaol.com Posted May 18, 2002 Share Posted May 18, 2002 I took the bait! Many, Many thanks to franknputer for hosting my attempt. I passed it about 10 times, and kept the last one. It was played on a Charvell, into a J station, through a Summit TPA-200B pre into a Fairlight. I thought about comping together the best bits of a bunch of takes, but this one says enough. http://franknputer.complexero.com/music/Spigotblues.mp3 Frank Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pauldil Posted May 18, 2002 Share Posted May 18, 2002 Man, that was some ass-kickin' stuff there!! Great tone, great lines, great attitude. Just very Hot!!! Loved the way you played along with the organ solo, answering, paraphrasing... I'm definitely checking out your mp3 site. Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dturner Posted May 18, 2002 Author Share Posted May 18, 2002 Spigot Frank.... Wow!!!! That is some GREAT playing! Thanks for putting up the tune!!! I especially loved your use of silence in between phrases, and also the way you played around the Hammond solos. Could you describe how you played the fast trill during the Hammond solo at around 1:45 into the song? [Dennis rubs his hands together maniacally... "MMMMWWWAAAAHAHAHAHAHAAAAA.... me plan to steal the best licks in the land is working just as I knew it would"] Oh shit... did I write that, or just think it?

UncleTom Posted May 18, 2002 Share Posted May 18, 2002 through a Summit TPA-200B pre into a Fairlight. Frank[/QB] Fairlight? Damm! is that in your own studio? My band did hours of mixing on a Fairlight. It was in a top of the line Studio in San Francisco. Very cool! I just got my head phones and checked out your mp3's, You are a talent my man and your work should be picked up! Superglue was bad ass! Great job on the mix. What do you use for drums? How about a little background about you and your setup. Thanks for sharing..Tom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rim Posted May 20, 2002 Share Posted May 20, 2002 Great playing Spigot! I also liked your call and response thing with the organ solo. I thought about doing that but got too lazy to figure it out. I also thought about playing a harmony line with the organ solo but was too lazy for that, too. aka riffing Double Post music: Strip Down http://rimspeed.com http://loadedtheband.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dennis -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Thanks for the compliments. It was fun to do. I think the part you're talking about is an Eddie trick, where you mute the strings with the back of your right hand, and hammer-on/pull-off on one string, usually the g string, at the 5th and 3rd frets. That would make it C-A#-G. Start slow and work at building it up fast. Another thing Eddie did alot was to run his right hand up and down the strings in between the bridge and fret board while doing this kind of hammer on stuff, creating a series of constantly changing harmonics. He did that alot on VH II. And, Wow, what a GREAT track to play against. The B-3 stuff and the groove are fantastic. Have a great week, Frank Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How about a little background about you and your setup. Thanks for sharing..Tom[/QB] Tom, Thank's for the kind words. I'm fortunate enough to work in audio full time. The room I run happens to have a Fairlight in it. I've been playing guitar for 26 yrs. When it became obvious that I wasn't going to be full-time rock star I started engineering. I've worked in Post Production for 11 years now. My set up for all the tunes on the mp3 site was Digital Performer for MIDI and Pro Tools for tracking/Mixing. My current set up is Sonar for MIDI and the fairlight for tracking/Mixing through a Mackie D8B. I have pretty much always combined looped drums with sequenced drums. I will often use a layer of loops with different frequencies eq'd for emphasis, and then put down a reinforcement of MIDI samples on top. Sometimes (like on Superglue) I will also play the snare live, (if I can borrow one) and layer that in. Thanks again, Frank Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wrave Posted May 22, 2002 Share Posted May 22, 2002 Thanks y'all. Really neat stuff. First, thanks Dennis for posting this thread in the first place. You are all making me want to get into a little jammin' real soon. I played bass for a long time and Dennis' tune just reminded me of what it used to be like to just lay down a groove and wallow in it like a pig. You cats probably all need a shower cuz you're all so nasty wit' them dirty blues. Keep on with it! Raffles =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= ME: "Nobody knows the troubles I've seen!"

Sylver Posted May 23, 2002 Share Posted May 23, 2002 OK, here's the dealeo ... Geocities won't let you post Mp3's, so I changed the file name to a .txt, so you'll have to d/l, then change the file name to .mp3. Sorry for the song and dance: http://www.geocities.com/sylver264j And right click on the white link. Choose save as trueblue_sylver.txt, and change the extension to .mp3. That's way too much work, isn't it? Maybe I should change it to a wave file? I really don't know what to put here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pauldil Posted May 23, 2002 Share Posted May 23, 2002 Hey Sylver, you've got a nice touch. Some good things going on in your solo. I also liked the tone you got. What did you use to record this? Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What did you use to record this? PaulThanks, man. I used my main baby, a '98 MIA Strat into a Fender Hot Rod Deluxe, the more drive "channel" with the drive turned down to about 2, and the master cranked to about 5-6. My mic pre is a cheapo one, so the sound you're hearing is a little buzzier than if you were standing in front of the amp. The only effect is amp and room reverb. During the second break the amp and room reverbs slap into each other and give me a couple of seconds of natural delay. That was a pretty cool serendipity. I used 11's and I usually keep the Strat tuned down a half step. I found that I choaked off a few notes here and there becuaase I'm not quite used to the tension. I really don't know what to put here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
