Something inspired by Sabas, Doc, Kerry's recent uploads

[Narsh]

The talent on this board never ceases to amaze me. For me its not about the level of technicality, production quality, complexity or the like. Lately its been about the emotion and memories that a tune or run evokes.

The recent posts by Sabas, Doc, Kerry and quite a few others took me back to times when things were simpler, not as intense, and having different opinions was "ok". In any case, thinking about those times, weather it was dancing a 15's in 7th grade or driving along 95 on my way back from a party, or even the lonely nights driving around south beach after work by myself to clear my mind; it just made me flat out sad that times aren't as simple. Don't get me wrong, no depression or long term issues here, its life, it changes, we evolve but man, putting myself back in those days brought this improvisation out.

Real simple on this one, I used my Gretsch Streamliner and Peavey 4 string bass tuned down 1/2 step and the AxeFX/Parallaxe.

I tried to capture the loneliness and desperation of those fleeting memories, kinda like screaming out of a car window at speed or the like. The production I kept simple, left all the mistakes in, and tried to make it sound like if it was recorded in a really open space.

Hope you guys enjoy it, and let me know if anyone wants to jam over it, I'd be more than happy to send it off.

Even Peter Green is standing-up and applauding this one! Hands down, one of your best pieces ever. You're at your best when you let the music breath.

Not sure if I really inspire others, but I agree with you: talent galore here! -but thanks for your comments-! I was actually inspired by you when you posted a track maaaany years ago, so anyone could fill in his part. I began believing in myself from that time.

I like this tune very much, it´s very emotional. You let it out in a wonderful way, Enrique. And I don´t know what mistakes are you talking about, by the way.

And yes, I´d love to try to let it come out of me, and see what I can do on the same tune. I´d need to let it grow on me, though; it´s not a fast process in me. So, yes, please, send it to me. Thanks so much!

My only complaint is it need to be longer. Nice. Very good. Bueno. Definitely did not suck.

I didn't want to go too long since it was just the same chords looping. But thanks man, glad it didn't suck! He he

Ok, I'm envious. No, not of the playing (ok, I'm envious there too) but of your ability to take emotions and channel them into your playing. I personally have an immensely difficult time even playing when I'm feeling the kind of emotions that are typical of the blues, so that fact that you were able to take those emotions and convert that into a great song is fantastic. I hope writing and playing helps with the processing of all that.

Oh, and if you're able to create say, another 8-10 songs like that, I could play that album on repeat for a long time Fantastic playing, as always!

Very nice! It is haunting.
