You must have done some nice work on that SG because it sure is working for you. Nice delay twiddling, too.  That was my stock in trade for a while, and it can feel and sound great to do. I've used both my hands and also an expression pedal to do it. Hands are better for the "breathing" they necessitate in one's phrasing, or so I found.

pretty sick sound man, damn. I could listen to stuff like this all day... great reading about your work on the guitar too. thanks for posting that.

Oh, so much craziness going on here. This distorted guitar sound is otherworldly!

We would say, 'that's heavy man' way back in the 60s  ... (a compliment...)

I've been experimenting with a bunch of fun sounds this weekend, this is the result (or one of them ;-) ). I hope you enjoy!

Stressed

(John Stone)

Life is a bitch
I’ve heard it said  
Some people even say they’re  better off dead
You’re in a hole
Then take control
Take care of business could be good for your soul

If I were you I wouldn’t get so stressed about it
Don’t waste the moment going OhOhOh
Instead of thinking what might happen and when
If something going to happen you can deal with it then

Let’s not get stressed Lets not get stressed about it
You should keep yourself together don’t get angry or depressed
Let’s not get stressed Lets not get stressed about it
Just keep calm and keep collected when bad feelings are expressed  
Let’s not get stressed stressed ….   

It’s true the future, may not seem  bright
And there’s no answer to the problems in sight
Just down the line  things could be fine
You often find and answer if you just give it time

Sick And Twisted

This Custom Shop SG came to me very cheap because the headstock was broken. I spent the last two weeks stripping it down and reparing it. Put it back together yeasterday and played some bottleneck on it. I put her through two delay units, tiddling the knobs as I played!

Here's another one of my early demos with Garageband.

I Miss You (Demo 2016)

There's a girl in my neighborhood
She turns all the heads
She looks so good
In my neighborhood
In my neighborhood
I gotta stop
Think for a minute
How much better this world is
With all of you in it
In my neighborhood
In my neighborhood.

There's an old man
Just up the street
Sometimes he's surly
Sometimes he's sweet
In my neighborhood
In my neighborhood
I gotta stop
Think for a minute
How much better this world is
With all of you in it
In my neighborhood
In my neighborhood

We don't have to be like
Best friends or lovers
We don't have to be
Like sisters or brothers
Ain't too hard to realize
To grasp or discover
We got nothing in this world
We got nothing in this world
If we don't have each other

Bunch of young kids
Playing on my grass
Obnoxious and loud
A pain in the ass
In my neighborhood
In my neighborhood
I gotta stop
Think for a minute
How much better this world is 
With all of you in it
In my neighborhood
In my neighborhood

Now there's some people
I don't recognize
They're not from 'round here
I realize
In my neighborhood
In my neighborhood
I gotta stop 
Think for a minute
How much better this world is
With all of you in it.

We gotta stop
Think for a minute
How much better this world is
With all of us in it
My neighborhood
In my neighborhood

In My Neighborhood

Pathway though the nighttime forest.

Echo chamber, You're living in an Echo chamber
Echo chamber, You're living in an Echo chamber

You used to get in your car and you’d listen to nineties grunge
But now you turn on talk radio and you absorb it like a sponge
There’s a guy on cable news who says the things 
you were afraid to say out loud
But now you shout them out in polite company
and it makes you feel so proud.

Living in an echo chamber surrounded by people who agree with you
And you’re not interested in hearing any other point view
You used to believe that issues were grey
 but now you see things in black and white
You used to live and let be but now you just want to fight

You say cut taxes for the rich and it’ll trickle down to you and me
And when they sing the national anthem, you’d better not take the knee
You think electric cars are foolish and gas stoves are your God given right
And when you turn on your lamp to read Atlas Shrugged it better be an incandescent light 

Every single second of every single day
you’re walking around muttering that things are not okay
The pundits on the cable news
 say we’ve reached the point of no return
We’re in a downward spiral 
and we’re goanna crash and burn

Living in an echo chamber surrounded by people who agree with you
And you’re not interested in hearing any other point view
You used to believe that issues were grey 
but now you see things in black and white
You used to live and let be but now you just want to fight

Echo chamber, You're living in an Echo chamber
Echo chamber, You're living in an Echo chamber

Just Been Over You

SOLEDUM

lyrics:
Since we started, we had a long way from home
now never departed, we have to stand tall
Never let it down, no threat from the wind
rain or thunder nor from any evil seed

Always i wonder, what's next on the line
this daily life plunders whatever vital that shines 

i keep on dreamin' aiming high
but this weird feeling shutters my mind

but if i'm keeping all worries behind
i should remain believin', relentless will for life to find

fightin' for no reason, ain't gonna give me peace of mind
feeding my ego, had lost so much precious time

Now it's the right time, to think what's next
healing this heart and let the mind to rest
