Topic: Margaritaville

We all needed something to take our minds off winter and this song takes me back to Maui Hawaii where I lived for several years Jimmy Buffet's "Margaritaville" fun song to play.

Re: Margaritaville

That was fun, with all the snow up here on the mountain today, a little ray of sunshine is just what we needed.

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: Margaritaville

Sometimes everything in a song just falls into place and this is one of those songs. Your voice suits the lyrics, the laid back tempo makes me think of long summer days on holiday, and on this one i particularly like your tub thumper sat at the back. He's got this one off to perfection.

Re: Margaritaville

I like how you Mutated the guitar solo.  That was a good straight-up cover, but you still brought some of the Mutant King to it with the solo, which is always what I like seeing.

Granted B chord amnesty by King of the Mutants (Long live the king).

Re: Margaritaville

I thought it would be more "latin" if I played the note a half step sharp and slid down to a harmony I was using a C9 organ Machine effect in a stereo mode which means I Have two amps and my boss ME 50 has two outs so to make a long explanation short I have two differnt sounds thru two amps to create a unique stereo sound. Zurf I dont think I ever played anything exactly like the record or even the same way twice it would be to boring thanks for taking a look and commenting smile
