Now yer talkin' bud!

I can't think of how many hours I played with my guitar and flanger, just testing the noises. Nothing as cool as this and never an alligator clip or a tub. Either way, I bet your neighbors loved this as much as mine would've!

Thanks for sharing.

guitar I had since I was 12 and by now the strings are way high and I was looking for any other way than normal to play it. Right after this I got my '64 Fender Mustang. We'll hear that on the next installment.
Thanks for checking in - I've been digging Telephone Booth.

this is pretty. neat sounds and idea like the clip. It works. I wonder what would happen on all six strings. Nothing bets a old flanger. I still have a mid 70's Ibanez That produces sounds that flangers don't use today. Keep em coming I'm enjoying this.

I was tempted to get into the hours of 4 track sessions Kevlar and I did together - but that will have to wait for the 3rd entry. I hadn't heard this tape in at least twenty years - but the sound had stayed in my head all this time. Glad I found it.

...with a jellifish pick...

Well, nah, this is so cool as is. I used to read about various avant-garde types in music magazines and think, "Eh... I just like 'regular music'... ", but then my friends would play me things outside my usual scope and I'd go... "oh... I get it now... this IS music... and it's music I LIKE... how 'bout that?..."

I do remember the golden years of mixing and matching stomp boxes on the floor just to see what sounds could be made... One of my bandmates had a friend who was testing pedals for MXR, so I got a few more than I'd have been able to afford otherwise...

I'm glad you posted this... I like it...

i never, ever picked up an alligator with an alligator clip.

cool sounds here - i like this. there are so many sounds you can make with a guitar - i'm still amazed... did you ever try wedging a nail through a few strings up around the 12th fret? you can get cool bell sounds like that...

thanks

I think I was buying some monteca up the block! I remember the alligator clip! ya know in the early 90's I remember a guy who hooked up his guitar in front of the gas station sculpture place on I can t remember 2nd street and ave A I could be wrong but he was bouncing his guitar all over the place sounded something like this well thanks for sharing!

Ahh... I remember sitting in the back yard of my Mississauga basement apartment, playing and experimenting in ways where inventiveness took over where money couldn't go.

My favourite was the vacuum-cleaner hose vocoder - damn if it didn't work too. You got a small speaker from Radio Shack (1 or 2 inch dia) and duct taped it inside one end of a vacuum cleaner hose. Connect the speaker to the output of your amp, but keep the volume just low enough to not pop the little speaker. Now, tape a smaller piece of tube to the open end; small enough in diameter that you can stick it in your mouth. (See where this is going?) You'll probably have to tape the tube to your cheek to keep it in your mouth while you play, but damnit, this is MUSIC we're talking about - there's no time for dignity here!

Turn on the amp, play yer guitar and mouth 'vocals' while the guitar sound is piped directly into your mouth. Stand close to the mic. Try not to let your friends tape a picture of you like this.

but I couldn't let this slip by. Where's the picture? I know there's a picture. Too funny. Thanks for stopping by.

but it's long gone. Too bad - I'd have it up here in a heartbeat. Also long gone, unfortunately, is the 'Chicken Of Shame' headgear pic; but hey, that's another story.

Great invention, it sounds amazing. I love how you figured that out! My favorite invention was when I bought a play air organ from Sears toy store. It was powered by 4 C batteries and a---get this---a fan to make the sound come out of the organ. It cost about $10 bucks. I would tape down the keys with masking tape, mic it and run it through a flanger pedal set to 10 so it made this crazy seagull sticatto sound, and I'd play my guitar to that.

I gotta dig that tape up.

with your Sears organ, Riks vacuum cleaner vocoder and my treated guitar. I could throw in "Bob's Panda" - it was a short lived band that played along to an amplified mechanical Panda that played drums.

I have to hear--and see--this.

Besides the potential band, there was some lovely minimalism and mad science in this song, bud. Cool stuff--what do a bathtub, kitchen knife, and electric guitar have in common?

If you find yourself lacking finesse, a big rock will usually make a sufficient substitute.

...is beyond cool. Great sound...on a boombox, yet. And the alligator clip is a stroke of genius.

Orchard Street, huh...let's see: 1980...yeah, definitely moving up in the world, there.
