All is well

Recent guitar problems - 
Yamaha SG2000s - Bridge pickup had very low out put.
Solved by banging the volume with the palm of my hand and then turning the volume pot up and down a few times.
Cort MGM - Same problem but not solved
Encore Blaster Bass - No output. Solved by noticing that one of the wires to the output jack had come loose. I tried to re-solder it but failed, i will / might  try again.

It's going nowhere and I'm going with it

much simpler
not like jazz at all

i can't see the jazz for the mystery

I've covered some parts of Frank Zappa tunes in the past, usually bass lines or chord sequences but this is the first time I've tried to cover a Zappa tune.
Black Napkins is basically two chords (C Sharp Minor 7 and D Major 7) repeated through the whole tune.
There's a melody and then solo's in between.
This is the format that i tried to replicate, 2 chords one melody and solo's.
There's no way i could replicate the solo's. Watch Stefano Bertolino on YouTube for a great replication of the Zoot Allures version.
I went for a much slower version, even slower than the 1988 live version on "Make a jazz noise here". I even deliberately played fewer notes in my solo's.
These days, beer and old age tend to lean me to the slower way of doing things.

Black Napkins (Frank Zappa cover)

A sad day today, (20th January 2024) my old windows XP computer was pronounced deceased, it is no more, all my Ableton 7 projects have gone to meet the maker in the sky.
And the donkeys did wail.
This was the first computer i used for Sound Cloud tracks so i have lost all of the Ableton 7 projects files for all the tracks on my first Deeply Dazzled page, everything from 2011 to 2015.
And the donkeys did wail.
And most of the tracks from the Deeply Dazzled Donkey page too.
Fuh! Kin! El!
And the excited train guy did wail.
The finished tracks are archived on Sound Cloud so all is not lost.
I never made a back up copy of all the Ableton projects and i will miss all the information that they contained.
And the dormice did wail.
I suppose, as you get older you're going to lose some things.
Car keys, Hair, playing football ,fights.
All the Donkeys, Dormice, Bukowski, Zappa, Bowie and The Excited Train Guy, gather under the light of the giant mushroom and they did wail.
Thanks for all the genuine plays and comments back then.
and thanks for all the genuine plays and comments now.
and all the other fake plays and comments will forever forgotten.

THE WINDOWS XP COMPUTER MEMORIAL WAIL

Lyrics by DeeplyDazzled January 8th 2021

"In this crazy world full of disaster
With all it's internet jibber and jabber
What i need when nothing else matters
Is ten cold beers and a Fender Telecaster"

Sometimes, things don't change.

In this crazy world

Music by Hans Zimmer
"Time" from the 2010 movie - "Inception"

Guitar - Gretsch Streamliner
Bass - Trilian
Drums - Superior Drummer
Piano - Keyscape
Synths - Omnisphere
Mood - Laid back Jazz
Beer - Brewdog Black Heart Stout

I heard this tune a couple of weeks ago on Sky Arts TV, "Hans Zimmer live in Prague" 2017.
A simple two note chord sequence in two parts 4 chords in each part and only the second chord changes - 
AC - EG - GB - D F# 
AC - CB - GB - D F# 
It sounded simple so i thought i would try and figure it out.
I asked the local druids but they don't know nothing, 
So i jammed to the tune, on the Gretsch guitar and came up with 
A - E - G - D
A - C - G - D
after that i went on YouTube and figured out the other notes.
One beer lead to another and the rest is a mystery.

2 months ago, 22nd Feb 2024, i bought another guitar, a secondhand Gretsch Streamliner G2655T with licensed Bigsby Whammy Bar.
I have played it a lot and also re-tuned it a lot too, the Bigsby sends the strings out of tune even if i just think about touching the whammy bar.
The worst string is the G followed by the D and then the A string.
When i wobble the Bigsby, one or two of these strings go sharp while another string goes a bit flat, and when i wobble the Bigsby again these 3 strings go a bit flat or sharp in a crazy analogue way.
This guitar is so un digital, i think that's why i have stuck with it, despite all it's faults.
It plays lovely, the neck is nice and wide and it sounds good, even up past the twelfth fret, but the tuning issues and the vibrating screws in the bridge are quite distracting. 
Did i tell you about the buzzing sound by the bridge? 
That's a story for next time.


Thank you 
for reading 
this far down.

Time (Hans Zimmer- theme from the movie - Inception )

This track was played on my new secondhand Gretsch Streamliner, the one with the licensed Bigsby tuning issues and the rattling tun-o-matic bridge. They sure do make them like they used to.
I wanted to do a backwards guitar track, so i played things that sounded good when the recording was played backwards.
I exported the finished backwards track and then copied and pasted the MP3 back onto an Ableton audio track and reversed it so the backwards track then played forwards, and it sounded pretty good so i stuck the two tracks together and hey presto, bing bang bong and Bobs your uncle
First the forwards track followed seamlessly by the backwards track.

Image - The Gretsch with blu tack stuck over the rattling screws in the bridge.

Recently I noticed that someone played one of my tracks 30 times so i messaged him about this and he said he put my track on repeat and went and did other things around the house while my track played in the background.  
I didn't even know that there was a repeat function. So i recommend that you put this track on repeat  just to try it out. 
In these days of false plays by robots and "first fans" i thoroughly recommend this approach.
The repeat button is at the bottom left of the SC page.

There and Back
