Got the basic idea for this from Keith Wyatt's Guitar World column (Talkin' Blues, Feb 2014) in which he discusses some of guitarist Grady Martin's work.
Didn't turn out as well as I'd hoped (my left forearm was burning like hell after each take). After the acoustic version, there's a distorted version, but the tapped harmonics at the beginning sound pretty crappy with distortion. I also added…
I was reading about Tosin Abasi and listening to a lot of his music around the time I recorded this, even though it doesn't sound very much like his stuff.

Poor Reg's mate Ronald lost his job in the Government cuts now this whole world is caving in..... he has the bailiffs pounding at his door and he can't take anymore........he has lost his pension....soon to lose his house ......he's already lost…
Did my second Blues lesson last night and couldn't resist writing another song to another of the Reverend Mikes Backers....but was a bit naughty as i was supposed to use the least notes possible....but whats life if it's not for being a little…
2011 according to Regs research was pretty shit for most apart from the couple from England......it thought i would use a Chinese theme to the music being that they own it and it was the year they were able to buy most of it cheap.....note to…
A track from the RPM Challenge 2011 album. "Foggy Bottom Stomp" is a straight forward rolling groove that goes well with a brisk walk around the neighborhood.
A riff that could only be played with a raunchy synth sound. Forgive me if this causes an 80's flashback, but I had a lot of fun with this one. Originally recorded for RPM Challenge 2011, but updated with new guitar and bass to beef it up.
Ring of Fire - lyrics by Johnny Cash and June Carter Cash -1963. Slightly modified.

Korg MS2000
ARP 2600 V soft synth
Absynth 5 soft synth
Session 3 drummer soft synth
Pianoteq…

"Seven Shudders" is a one of those love songs with undertones of suicide, drug addiction, orgasm (seven shudders), as well as nature.
Hope you like it.
great chords on this track man.
about buffalo bill: i used the Line6 POD Farm program, and i think the settings were a Plexi Lead 100 head, classic distortion pedal, rotary drum+horn effect (may have been Phaser instead), and 'medium hall.' thanks for your comment.
