Feeling Bad Blues from Crossroads

Post by Bg »

written by Ry Cooder, awesome soulful track that I hope I've caught some of the essence of. Please comment if you like or dislike, or even if you're ambivalent, I can take criticism without bringing forth the banhammer. honest.

So, is that low alcohol or no alcohol at all? mmmm, no alcohol, do you want to try it? Noooooooooo.

Lots of towns... Lots of songs... Lots of women... Good times... Bad times... Only thing I wanted anyone to say is... 'He could really play... He was good'.

wasn't morgan freeman though.

Soulful indeed. 8) I like the touch of tremolo.

Comparing this to your first recording, it's obvious how much more comfortable with the instrument you now are. Fekkin excellent BG! :thumbup:

Thanks mate, I'm really chuffed with ths one, it just didn't come together for me at all on the strat but felt great on the republic. I'm glad I've made all these recordings, it's definitely a chronical of my 3 month bottleneck journey, so far!

Good times, BGesus. Not really my kind of music but obviously you've put a lot of time into it and it's sounding really good!

Yeah overall sounds great... the trem, when it works it really works beautifully and other times (arounf some of the solo bitss) it takes a way a little too much.. pity it wasn't a pedal trem. Still dope.
