Had these backing tracks laying around on my drive for a while and didn’t know what to do with them, so grabbed my Ebow and a fretless electric that I built for myself a couple years ago and had a go. My fretless playing is really in its infancy, but this was fun to put together.

Really fun to listen to as well. Can imagine that fretless is hard to master, but you've sure done it. Fretless+ebow seems like a winning combo in your hands !!

Thanks Kirk. I was really experimenting with different guitar sounds. For the acoustic I was trying to use a closet door as a way to reduce some of the noise I was having issues with. I actually turned the bass and acoustic into samples and looped them so I could play around wwith some lead guitar. It's pretty cool beacuse I'm learning new techniques from Norm, and you idea on the acoustic is helping me find a cleaner way to record acoustic. Thanks again!

Reminds me of blade runner! Is that a fretless guitar? (Do they exist?) Or a bass played up high? I thought it was a synth at first! Love it :)

this is great!!! I love the jazz / spaces blues vibe. The harmony leads are seriously impressive! How'd did you make your fretless? I recently made one myself - amazing how low the action is now.

Guest said
