Description
I've been feeling like recording lately this is my third song in 3 days. I've been having a hard time waiting for the previous songs to scroll off the front page before I post the next one.

I'm pretty proud of this one. I'm starting to finally be happy with my sound. There are some things I still need to work on, but I'm finally able to just enjoy listening to my songs instead of critiquing them.

This one is a cool jazzy number that reminds me of Charlie Hunter a bit. I'm demoing a "Marshall Regenerator" pedal from my local music store and I found a uni-vibe like setting on it that gives me that Leslie Speaker/Charlie Hunter Vibe on my rhythm guitar. I also have been trying to be more 'lyrical' and melodic with my leads and break them up with different styles so there not so dry and boring.

So, with that in mind I tried to go back and fort between a common melody and noodling. Hopefully it stays interesting all the way thru.

I played all instruments, the drums were created with EZ Drummer.

Man, you're on a roll. Wanted to comment on your last Curtis M. homage, which I dug. So kudos for that. And now this gem. Knew you were a shredder, but I'm really loving these down-low tone grooves. I'm a sucker for this kinda tremelo thang. You play with such taste and economy, and a great sense of the pocket. I'm digging your music, Mr. E. Funk.

This is one case...
...when people aren't going to listen and go, "Oh, THAT sort of tone again?"

This sounds genuinely different while staying musical... it has sophistication while also staying simple... It has dimension, too... a bit of bounce...

The leslie-like effect on the guitar
makes for a great laid-back vibe! It blends nicely with the organ without competing. Nice guitar leads too! Part of me wanted a bigger reverb (and more of it) on the guitar sound, but overall I really enjoyed the feel.
