Hey Clayton, you're really working hard in the shed bud. Makes me wonder what your coming up with next.
hmmmm???
I'll tell ya Ivan, it's like the song, With a Little Help From My Friends, "I can't tell ya but it sure feels fine." Truth is, it's hard to describe when I'm melding John Lee Hooker, early Elvis, ZZ Top, Hendrix and Trower, but it's kind of Zeppelin'esque. All these tunes I'm working over have fundamentals that I'm using as building blocks to reassemble in my own wicked way. I'll get some down to GB sooner than later and flash some samples of what's coming up.
Seems like a lot but once I'm into it the time flies and I want to practice twice a day, every day. Next week I'm on vacation.
