Description

I haven't had too much time for trips to the studio lately, nor for the Macjams either. So I've felt a little like I was on the outside looking in with the MJRF.

While perusing my mac for 2006 songs I found that I had recorded this riff on electric with the GB guitar emulator. It sounded like crap but I liked the idea. I revisited it last fall and did it acoustically and meant to fine tune it but I can't find the master files! Anyway, in an effort to beat the deadline here it is...

	Sir Pete! I love this man! Excellent strings my friend... Like you were born with them!!! Excellent excellent!!! Thanks for finding this great little piece!!! It is music like this that makes me wonder how many MJers have some little treasure packed away that they didn't like the first time around... Wow!

Too Kind
Thanks for the warm words here Mark, you make me blush!

I guess I always liked this one but I felt it deserved a further treatment. I like where the lead line took me but it was improvised and some of the phrasing and execution is a little less than it could be. I was actually intending to do something I've never done and learn the lead line to re-record it and get the best of my playing out of it.

Maybe I still will some day. In the meantime, I'm glad that the Reunion festival coaxed me to drag it out into the light of day.

Thanks again for diggin' it just the way it is!

	What are you doing playing electric? You've got a great lyrical feel on acoustic.... This takes me back to two track overdubs on my ancient Tascam long ago... I really like this, Pete.... Check out my latest song called Next Time Around (w/jiguma)

Decisions, decisions
Sometimes the acoustic urge just strikes. I find this chord progression particularly pleasing to play and decided to lay it down again properly, on acoustic. My intention was to play an electric lead over top of it but as soon as I hit playback my fingers started fiddling on the guitar I was holding and wouldn't let me put it down.

I guess it's good to go with the flow!

Thanks for dropping by for a listen Ed!

Clever as usual
Nice play on the age of the strings. I found myself hanging on to my brothers old guitar after he left home. I guess he never had the urge to change the strings, in fact he had an affinity for old strings. Maybe he was on to something with this guitar.

Alas, the strings started falling apart and I had to replace them shortly after this piece was recorded. The guitar hasn't been the same since.

Thanks for the listen and thoughtful words Bill!

	Don't be a stranger! Thanks for posting this, Pete. I really enjoyed it. This really works as an acoustic piece and I'm glad you decided to go with that idea. Check out my latest song called Follow the Bouncing Bear With the Kazoo Blues in E (MJRF)

	Me too! Like I mentioned earlier, you'd have had to fight me to get the acoustic out of my hands once I started noodling around with the lead. Glad you enjoyed it! Check out my latest song called First of Fall - Slide

	Gorgeous Tone How pretty, Pete! I agree with Ed, I want to hear you doing more acoustic stuff, you really are playing with a wonderful lyricism and some magic fingers on this one. The guitar sounds beautiful, beautiful. I'm glad you got it recorded before the strings gave out. I like this A LOT! L Check out my latest song called Mayday

6-String Swan Song
Funny how those strings still had some life in their old bones before they gave up the ghost. It was with great reluctance that I changed them but when winding comes undone you know it's time.

The sad thing is the new strings have a horrible rattle. I wonder if the old strings were what was keeping the guitar together!

Thanks for the warm sentiments.

	I picked a bad time To get a new electric guitar! If I can tear myself away from that I'll keep in mind the general sentiment that I should do more acoustic. Thanks for the kind words! Check out my latest song called First of Fall - Slide

	Brilliant What a great little tune - reminded me a little of Steve Howe's acoustic work. It's really crying out for a bit of reflective vocals a la Nick Drake. You have a real improvisational talent. Great. Check out my latest song called Hum
