Re: Rolin and tumblin

Thanks for the positive comments guys ,this track was taken from our third rehearsal session ,I have played with john some years ago but mike is new to both of us so were just feeling our way at the moment.Mikes in france for a couple of weeks but were gonna try a night at a club when he returns ,just a short set as a bit of a trial

Re: Rolin and tumblin

Loved it Graham!

Live in the "now" - a contentment of the moment - the past is gone - the future doesn't exist - all we ever really have is now and it's always "now".

Re: Rolin and tumblin

That's good composition & playing, Graham ... nicely done, and very enjoyable. For that tuning, you may need to keep a longer-scale, baritone guitar nearby, to avoid the floppiness of low-tuned strings.

Sounds like your move from Crete to the UK only created a temporary interruption in your career!

Re: Rolin and tumblin

TF I'm going  to  try  a  heavier  string  maybe  even   a  thin bass string  I  have  an ES 335  copy  here  which  sounds  nice  and  dirty for this sort  of  thing , on the  recording  I'm using  a  yamaha  pacifica  112

Re: Rolin and tumblin

It came out very well on the Yamaha! I was half dabbling with the idea of a baritone awhile back, and Rondo Music makes one that's quite inexpensive that caught my eye:

It's a real "looker" also, and I thought it might be good to maintain in DADGAD tuning for some of the Led Zeppelin I like playing.

Re: Rolin and tumblin

looks good  but  I  dont  think  I  could  live  with the  floyd rose .

Re: Rolin and tumblin

Speaking of band names, I recall Ian Anderson explaining how they arrived at Jethro Tull.

Seems they weren't very good, so they kept changing their name just so they could get re-booked at places like "The Marquee Club" back in the late 60's. They had been making various changes to their style along the way, and one night the place erupted with applause for what they were doing. The owner wanted to re-book them right away, and JT was the name they happened to be using that night. Ian says he's never really been very fond of the name, but they had to live with it under these circumstances.
