Description:
Well I don't know if I'm playing by the rules here but this is my answer to Cydniko 'Duel'. I have spent most of my life breaking the rules and I'm not going to stop now. I made no changes to Dion's song, I just played my guitar around and through everything he put down. He has a way of putting these great grooves together and he makes it easy to play to. So I hope you like my 'Rules of Engagement'. Enjoy.

Not Sure Either, &mdash 02/12/06 - 04:35:27 PM
But I like it. Especially since so much was already put into the beat, and
your guitar is catchy.

noon... yah, with that guitar playing. Way to use that tasty groove John; it was made for a quickdraw like you to come along and jam to it, making that strat sing. Right on!

Puts up a fight &mdash 02/12/06 - 05:02:46 PM
Way to stay competetive chak, who cares about rules... rules are meant to
be broken. You took a shot at Dion, and I think you injured him, but at
the same time, the original song form isn't lost. Way to go, fight the noble
fight.

tasty licks! &mdash 02/12/06 - 05:18:11 PM
And shades of Leslie West in places! I was hoping someone would answer
Cyd in this fashion. BRAVO!

Hot smoking guns... &mdash 02/12/06 - 05:24:57 PM
Whoa!!! - And, hot Damn Mister!!! The chills that shimmied off of my shoulder and then down my spine...

Chakares, you may not believe it, but I had just signed on w/ the thoughts to email you to tell you that if you weren't yet inspired by a certain 'unnamed ditty' that I had something else that I was thinking of sending you to play over just because I wanted to hear your outrageous playing over something that I had created. Although it wasn't this duel thing, I am truly flattered and quite satiated.

That was smoken! - Thank you for taking a shot at this and for taking it on. Once again, I feel quite honored. I know that you don't need to hear it from me but please sir, keep breaking rules... Dion

I've been imagining guitar playing over Duel all week long.
You finally came along and made it manifest. Very sweet.

[ Reply to This ]
yes! &mdash 02/12/06 - 07:48:32 PM
Oh now, I can believe that you've done more than imagine...

[ Reply to This ]
yes! &mdash 02/13/06 - 01:35:08 PM
Well, ok, I jammed over it myself and imagined what I wished it sounded like. :-) Chak delivered the goods.

Who needs rules, anyway? &mdash 02/13/06 - 06:23:20 AM
If breaking the rules results in cool stuff like this... oh, boy!

Excellent playing over Cydniko's groovy background beats. Allow me to
reiterate: You really can work this six-string of yours!
Very cool!

hell's bells and buckets of blood... &mdash 02/13/06 - 06:44:00 AM

Hell, yeah &mdash 02/13/06 - 09:14:18 AM
This is great. Nice addition to what was laid down already. And great sound on that strat.

Chak and Cyd &mdash 02/13/06 - 09:28:53 AM
Chak, you took a great sound bed, and made it into a mixture of "2cc" of
pure entertainment. The original slipped through my fingers... but has the
groundwork of very intellegible instrumentation (sorry Cyd, for missing
the first version). A "duel/duet" it is! Great groove and overlay of guitar
work.

Engagement of Rules!!!!

Hold on tight &mdash 02/17/06 - 02:18:37 PM
Sweet on the strings, this is really groovy and your doing a nice job of holding your own when it becomes a bit vacant. The ToneLab sounds fine and your strat sings.

John

excellent track to work with. Damn fine!

thoughts from the bull... &mdash 01/18/07 - 11:58:16 PM
i discovered this piece in the 2006 MacJams Retrospective collection. the guitarwork is sensational. i tried to locate the original piece, but was unable. unfortunate, because i would liked to have heard both to really get a full sense of just how impacting your contribution is.

jeez louise, you really rip that guitar apart, don't you? wow.

very happy i discovered this! thank you!
