Kind of an experimental piece featuring a tremolo’d Les Paul tuned to DADGAD on rhythm and an over-driven Stratocaster on lead. Bass is a Rickenbacker 4003 tuned to Drop D. Mallets by BeatBuddy.
Just a song I’ve been working on during the Covid 19 lockdown. It features a 2000 Gibson Gary Moore signature Les Paul on rhythm and lead and a 2012 Rickenbacker 4003 on bass. Drum track created with a BeatBuddy pedal drum machine.
Yet another mix of this 2014 recording. Minimalist approach with no compression and just a tad of studio reverb on the lead track. My Martin DC Aura acoustic recorded on a TASCAM DP-006 Pocketstudio. This version includes the intro that I had removed on the previous version.
A 2000 Gibson Gary Moore signature Les Paul on rhythm and lead through a Fender Mustang III using an 80s Marshall amp model. You can also hear a Boss V-Wah pedal set to the “MO-WAH” (Morley) setting in the 2nd half of the song. Bass is a 2012 Rickenbacker 4003 through a Zoom B3 pedal. Drums by BeatBuddy using the “John Bonham-Inspired” Drum Set.
The title of this song comes from the fact that I used a tone on my Les Paul that was reminiscent of something between “American Woman” and “Outside Woman Blues.” Impromptu was added because, well, it isn’t a blues song and the leads were pretty much ad-lib.
A “feel good” instrumental with a driving bass line and several layers of Stratocaster, including a simulated vibraphone track. What’s not to like?
