Description:
Clear the streets, his spurs are a janglin.
****
In the book of mormon, there is a son of a great prophet named alma called "alma the younger", in one chapter of The Book Of Mosiah it reads in verse 10:
And now it came to pass that while he was going about to destroy the church of God, for he did go about secretly with the sons of Mosiah seeking to destroy the church, and to lead astray the people of the Lord, contrary to the commandments of God, or even the king.
11. And as I said unto you , as they were going about rebelling against God, behold, the angel of the Lord appeared unto them and he descended as it were in a cloud: and he spake as it were with a voice of thunder, which caused the earth to shake upon which they stood:
12. and so great was their astonishment that they fell to the earth and understood not the words which he spake unto them.
13. Never-the-less he cried again, saying : Alma , arise and stand forth, for why persecutes thou the church of God? For the Lord hath said: This is my church, and I will establish it: and nothing shall overthrow it , save it is the transgression of my people.
In the book of Alma, which is in the next section (book) it reads that this Alma the younger after being so (rebellious) baptizes thousands of people for Jesus Christ himself.
Alma chapter 4, verse 7:
one part reads: "They were baptized by the hand of alma"
In verse 5 in one section it reads:
"three thousand five hundred souls" were baptized.

Kevensor
on a Black horse. Dusty, dirty, and just plum mean. He's looking for the gang who shot his best friend and burned his house to the ground. They say there are none as free as those who have nothing left to lose. His mind is focused on one thing and one thing only. Find them and make them pay. He's not just looking to shoot them, he wants them to suffer the way he's suffered these past three years. Their pain and blood are the only things that will quench his thirst for vengeance...
That is the vision I had while I listened. Well done!
I really liked this a lot. Thanks for the heads up.
DL/9s!

Thanks snow

Yeah, but maybe Gary Cooper is available : )
One Bad Dude, is one "bad" song... as we used to use the word bad. This is a great song as is and as we were chatting last night, offers so many ideas for lyrics with a story line. Thumbs up Mr. tiler!

This is some gritty guitar playing, Bill. Full of drama and
energy. Great stuff.
thetiler
Thanks Tom
Ya, I think the slide adds to it, especially when I add suspense. I like how you
use that stillness yourself when you play the guitar.

drakonis
So Bill... is there any genre you're NOT good at?
This is great... I *loved* the rattle-fret-snake hissing, this
song has that dirty raw tumbleweed taste, but with
TheTiler signature blended in smoothly. Loved the
melody, great guitar playing... the only critique I have is
one string sounded a little strong and boomy (midrange?)
in the recording, but otherwise, well-recorded. 8-[7/8]-8
-8
Yet another TilerTune I just gotta run down(load), hog-tie
and drop into my holster (don't have an iPod yet.) :-)
Yeeha! Makes me want to saddle up and do some
midnight rustlin.

I'm nervous and I didn't do anything... You're looking for that bomber person huh... They say she...
Oaps! I'd better not. Very nicely played - I lyke it. Good timing. Excellent balance and symmetry of structure.
This one didn't even need a title - It is clearly what you say it is...

Picturesque and polished, with pregnant pauses and
pliant pacing. Among the most painterly pastorales you've
posted. Plaudits for a proficient and pure performance.
Syncopatient
The piece is purdy, principally proven to be a purveyor of the pea
shooter.....Good tune TT.....I see Clint Eastwood ready to take on a band of
villians.
---
Truth is not a matter of opinion
You're right, Pistol Packin' SyncoPatient -- "Pastorale" has too pleasant a
connotation. This depicts gritty, gunslinging meanness at high noon on the
main street of Deadwood. It is a "pastiche", however: the imitation of the
style of a previous work of art. Unlike a parody, a pastiche is not making fun
of the original. Pastiche can also mean a medley of different materials, forms,
motifs, etc. Bill Furner has proven himself to be capable of many styles of
music. He is Peerless Pastiche as well as a creative wellspring in his own right.
thetiler
Thanks Rich, you have such a poetic mindset. Just fabulous.
I'm humbled.

Your guitar playing always pleases the ear, and the
recording quality on this is even better than I remember
from past submissions.
I particularly like the special effects you include on this
piece. The scuttling sound and the harmonics are great!
thetiler
Thanks Camron
I think adding the stillness gives more drama to the slide and harmonics.

Magritte
(Anyone remember "American Gothic"?) Whoever it's supposed to be, I can see him stalking around and being charming when he needs to, being sensitive when it suits his moods, and being ONE BAD DUDE when he needs to. Great storytelling in the picking there!

nice approach to the tune in story

Good to hear real western acoustic guitar music! Thanks!
Well played %u2014 and really good sound from that guitar!
How did you mike?
And what sort of guitar is that?
Cori Ander

that is a long minus (dont know its name)

It's a Takamini acoustic.
I sent you an email regarding the number.

"...cooperative man in the world is a dead man."
Nicely written and played. Nice recording, too. I'd also be
interested in the specifics... guitar, mic, mic placement, etc.
Send it in to Wild West Tech, man!
thetiler
Thanks
I play a Takamini acoustic,
two mics, one by the 12th fret and the other by the other side of the hole.
One on the left is a mic on a boom and the other is on a pole mic holder.

..that would be the one and only Tiler and his smoking gittar! Killer slide work on a killer song. Great comments from all, too. Not much more I can add. I thoroughly enjoyed this one, Bill. This one's a keeper for my "Acoustic Guitar" playlist, A 5-star iTunes rating and big marks!

Man, you sure can come out of left field with turns in
direction. This has a lot of fire and spirit. Something has
turned your creative desire up a notch. Just really
beautifully recorded slide sound. So expressive, I'm

way!

Absolutely beautiful. Bunch a nines for you.
alley-oop
me with your ever expandind repertoire. You got Ry Cooder lookin over his shoulder. Very nice piece. I want to send you a glass slide (thick glass) although this piece has less of a 'brassy' slide sound. What tuning?

From movie "Westworld", in the immortal words of James
Brolin to Richard Benjamin right after Yul Brenner shot
him;
"I've been shot...!"
...and so have we all... nice work...
Just think of the responses you might have gotten if you
would have titled this, "Pancakes & Ice Cream."

Makes me wanna get out my ten-gallon hat, chaps and

I love your finger-picking style. I have to say though - I
picture this rugged bad guy as having a soft spot. Maybe
there's a pretty little lady waiting for him?

to "One Bad Dude" and she may have what you suggested.

...to comment on the song. I liked it. But then it's what you do, isn't it? But I will comment about the production.
It's a simple piece tech-wise but I think you need to adjust the EQ slightly - if indeed you have any on here at all. Basically you need to scoop out some bottom end to get rid of that bass (& sub-bass) resonance. Try scooping out from 450hz (-5db as a starting point?) and cut off at 100hz.
This should help a lot. Otherwise great.
Be cool,
Pie
thetiler
i see what you mean about the Au equalizer plug in.
I check that out and see if I can use it, Richard S gave me some tips on it as well
Thanks Pie

...and I'm glad I didn't...
It has a lot of the best things I enjoy in the playing of
Steve Stills and Peter Green and Lindsay Buckingham...
Reminds me a bit of "The Chain", a bit of Stills' "Bluesman"
from Manassas...and I mean both of those references in a
complimentary way...
Nice tune, nicely played, with a nice sense of drama...just
enough tension...yet a lightness in there, too...
As a reference point, on the system hooked up to my
computer this doesn't need a bass EQ rolloff...it's very full
and warm, very much sounding like a good, solid spruce
guitar with a drop-D tuning...it doesn't (on my set-up)
have that thunk-thunk-thunk that a bass heavy Travis
pick thing can get...it's got enough but not too much, if
you know what I mean...
It's funny, I just looked up at the top of the page, and this
isn't what I would normally think of as "New Age
Acoustic". It's some other cool thing...
Nice job all around...
thetiler
Thanks EJh
Ya, I changed it right after I read you statment about what category. I just put it
in Folk.
As for as eq. I try to really work on this. But it is a challenge because of
fingerpicking needs to be closer in a way than hard notes with the bass.
Especially light guaged strings. The lighter the 1,2strings the more the mic
needs to be closer. But that can conflict with loud attacks on the strings,
especially the bass notes.

Brilliant Guitar playing. You're actually quite talented, arn't
you? The performance you give in this recording is
flawless and imaginative.

Thanks very much GM for the compliment and taking the time to post!
Really do appreciate it. As for as talent, a lot of it is just tons of repetition. I feel
like i'm not a person that has a photographic memory or was the brilliant kid in
school, so I had to make up for it I guess by just constant, year in and year out
repetition of music I like to play on the guitar.

If i was going to make a guy bad, I might as well make him really bad!
And the baddest of bad would be when god has disapproved I guess.

I just watched the movie Desperado today, and this seems
fitting! It's about a mariachi guitar player out for revenge
on the man who killed his woman. This would be great in
a western/cowby movie. Great production value, too! Top
notch!
