Found a good drum track. Did this...

I found a cool drum track on YouTube and started noodling around. It's a beautiful summer day but I ended up tracking this for a couple of hours (yes, it took me that long to come up with something and play it coherently).

No surprises after the first 30 seconds or so. I just kept playing the same thing.

Going outside. Let me know what you think.

Nice! Did you also play bass line and rhythm guitar?

Cool stuff!

Very tasty licks Tommy. What guitar is that? Is it a semi-hollow on the bridge pickup?

@sabasgr68 Yep. 'Played everything.

@tonebender I forgot what position but yes, it was the semi-hollow. Great ear.

Thank you both for the listen.

This could be the new intro music for a Beavis and Butthead reboot. Seriously, I mean that as a compliment. It has that feeling of a theme song, or even a piece of incidental music in something like a John Carpenter film. Love it!

It's got a cheeky sardonic vibe.

Yeah! That's what writing is all about. Hear or feel something that compels you, and create a phrase you like. In time, build on that phrase. In my case, the amount of time that takes varies from moments to months and I try not to rush it.
