Description

just another blues instumental!...I love 'em! This was the opening tune in a recent live broadcast I did...

This features an actual live musician other thatn myself, that being the lovely and talented BRUCE WARD...he laid his solo down on my little yamaha keyboard after a rehersal for the live show...it was a single take...so thanks Bruce.

the guitar tone is a bit experimental for me...but i think i like that flatness, and I'm looking for some feedback on that.

thanks to Mystified for the feedback on the mix.

	Very smooth! Great playing as usual Ziti..I think the tones sound fab, they certainly put my tone to shame! A bit of a latin Santana-y feel to this one, cool keyboard playing too Nice Steve Check out my latest song called Electricity

This sounds better...
...at my house than at your house...Which is pretty
damned good...

The actual notes and overall sound are really good. There
are a few points after the introduction of the second,
Fender-y tone where either the mix or something sounds
roughish...the guitar tone itself is slightly rough...I think it
might be a mix artifact....

Yeah, there is the ziti-does-Carlos-doing-Peter-Green
thing here...I think one of the "unsung heroes" of this
track is the backing track, which has nice swing, nice
motion, without detracting from the guitars that come in
over the top...You get a lot of praise, and justifiably so,
for your soloing ability on electric guitar, but I think you
can garner some praise for the less glamorous work of
making the backing tracks sound cool...to me they don't
end up sounding like one guy in a room laying down
tracks...they sound band-like...

It is, of course, fav'd and dowloaded. Well done.

	Anchor Inn I used to jam at the Anchor Inn, Beer Bar where they had a jam on Sunday nights. This was a fav chord progression! I love it. Swingin' stuff! Check out my latest song called Rockin' Chair & Lemonade

	Mmm mmmm... Good! I'd love to see this live! Great playing, z! I've probably heard this tune a dozen times, now, and it never gets old. Thanks, z, for sharing your music here. Check out my latest song called For the Beauty of the Earth

	Cool guitar sound. That pod really does the trick. I particularly like the clean sound you use halfway. Processed as all hell, but cool regardless. Check out my latest song called Tecmo Superbowl 2009 w/ Dead End (MJRF 2004)

Tone-a-licious
Your tone is real nice. This tune is beautiful.
I'd really like to hear just one ziti guitar in a tune, sometime. I think I tire of hearing too many guitars. Don't get me wrong, I like what you do with all the layers, but I don't know if I'd heard a different approach from you.
I think I just know what's coming. It's a signature sound that you own which is very cool. Maybe your live sound is quite different.
You've got chops to die for. I suppose I'd like to hear something unexpected. I hate to sound critical, I'd like you hear you shake it up.

fat sound
Well, first of all I bow to your professional skills and stunning performance. Jupp, starts out with a decent and careful approach, and rolls on into a harmonised wall of sound. Pro performace in both guitars (as usual) and organ:)
Nice when you lower the pace a while out there, and leave room for the crispy (experimental) guitar sound. Is that recorded through the POD and direct into GB, and not through an amp? Sounds like that... I think I prefer a clearer amp feeling in the guitar sound...

But, you know your trade.. thats for sure:)

fat sound
thanks thoddi...my old line 6 amp is just for gigs now. It has been replaced by
a POD...which is basically the same as the amp...only no speaker cabinet. I've
always used the line 6 right into the mac...line 6 is awesome. the cleaner
tone came from one of the many amp models and speaker simulations
available. I highly reccommend the line 6 stuff to guitarists and bassists with
home studios!!!

thanks for the kind comments as well!

	Slamin Jamin Sounds like you were having fun letting loose. Nothing like having it all flow off your fingers like water on a slide. It's like taking a journey without going anywhere physically. Nice tune and playing. Check out my latest song called Strange Feeling

	What a gift you have, to make those sounds with a guitar. Fantastic music thanks for sharing the guitar tone worked for me

	Pretty Cool There's lots of nice stuff in this tune. The cliched opening conceals the good stuff, I think. Your guitar playing is so excellent my ear is now weary of hearing it. Now I feel like I want to be teased with more drawn out stuff. If this tune had more teasing in it, I'd listen to it again and again. Check out my latest song called E-Minor Oct 2 2007

What did I do?
After listening to this one many times latest days in my iTunes collection,
I decided to go here and tell you once again how great it is.

Then I find that didn't I comment on it when it arrived ... Why ?? ..
(question to myself) ... seems like I just did download, fave and go away.
Sorry for that. This one is worth a lot more attention. It is one if the
greatest instrumentals I know of, even considering such guitar players as
Dickey Betts, Peter Green, dadai, TEXASFEEL and Jimi. /Curry the late
