Very nice  production  well done  with  this .

Thanks dino I'll check it on the pc later

We had a blast tonight ,great crowd  plus sitia tv turned up and filmed some of it.Awsome!!

First time ever GB play acoustic in Sitia at the town square .
Although Brian and I have done acoustic sets as a duo over the years this will be the first performance with the rest of the guys unplugged ,featuring Stefanos on lead guitar and Nikos on kajon .Last nights rehearsal was amazing .The gig starts at 8,30 and will also feature Boston born flautist Cindy Scholl and a variety of other local talent.

only  problem I  found  with the  elixirs is  they  take  a  little  time  to  bed in but  as  I  said  I  have  had  the  same  set  on my tele  2 yrs now and  I  really  hammer  it    they  still  sound  good .

Yeah I have elixir on my Tele  they have been on 2 years and I can't bring my self to change them.I thought they were causing excessive fret wear but it hasn't got any worse.I have gives this guitar regularly over this period and it still sounds the same as it did once the strings settled.

Further to  Dinos  comment   maybe  use  a  capo  then  the  same  three  chords  become  three different  ones, example  E major played with  the  capo on the  third  fret   becomes  G major  this  may  help to  get in the  same  key  as  your  voice  if  you  need  to .Also  try  a  lighter  pick the  strum pattern sounds  a little  heavy .Well done  with the  lyrics ,will you publish it  on here  ?

Something   a  bit  different  now  from what  I've  been posting ,Wrote  this  for  the band  as  a  loose  blues  jam that  we  can  improvise  over  Its a bit  of  a  funky  Hendrixesque  thing .

Sittin here waitin for some action
on my own cant get no reaction
don’t know why theres no satisfaction
might as well go join another faction

Chorus x2
Ad lib using these phrases

You cant see just what’s in store
you cant see the future
you cant see what’s in store
might be revolution
might be evolution

From the south there’s a warm wind blowin
in the north I bet that its snowing
in the mountains there’s a dark cloud growing
in the valley, rivers overflowing.

Chorus x2

Ad lib using these phrases

You cant see just what’s in store
you cant see the future
you cant see what’s in store
might be revolution
might be evolution

I keep on talkin but you don’t hear me
Tho my words all come out clearly
now and again you just say really
pay some attention then you can feel me

Chorus x2 solo and  ad lib

Big round of applause  for the youth of Sitia and Agios Nicolas for organising two events to raise money for medicines to be sent to Gaza
In a world full of death and destruction it's good to see a bunch of kids doing something positive.
The first event took place last week at the hight of the holiday  season in Agios Nicolas the next Will be on the 6 th of Sept in Sitia .
Good work guys
