SOME JAMS JUST WEREN'T MEANT TO BE:
I was feeling inspired Sunday, so I tried to bust out a funk tune, but as the evening wore on, I tired of it. Being the kind of person I am, I trudged on with it, 'cus if I don't finish this song now, I'll never finish it. As you can hear, all kinds of bad sounds started infiltrating my system. Squeaks crackles, pops, chord and pickup buzzes, and so on.
Finally, I decided to lay this baby to rest with a searing guitar solo, but I forgot that I can't really play that well. Long story short, I snipped off all the especially bad parts of the lead guitar solo to let the funk shine thru. I think it was a better choice and I hope you do to.
I left a couple snippets of the lead in to show you how poor my shredder chops are. Oh well, I guess you can't be wonderful all the time, but it is my ugly baby and I have to care for it just like all the rest.
Have a listen. Feel free to pick a wedgie and clean your toejam while you listen. And have a sense of humor. It's the only way to truly appreciate it.

HARDWARE:
Fender Rhodes with electrical problems, Fender Strat on lead, Home Made Bass (whose bartolini pickups somehow cancel each-other out at live gigs and my sound drops out for 5-10 seconds), Home Made Electric guitar on rythym (with a screwy-jack that I need to fix which sometimes buzzes if I don't insert the chord just right, Digitech RP350 pedal interface (that sucks the soul out of every recording I make!) Ibanez 1.0 mm 'Paul gilbert' model guitar pick special ordered from japan (maroon, the only pick that I don't drop while strumming. 1 tallboy of Mickeys malt-liquor and a half a family size pizza from Papa Murphys (Hawaiian with extra sauce)
