This is the first slide tune I ever did and the first time I ever recorded a tune. Again an improv over a backtrack. Used my Godin Radiator for that one with Kirks' brass slide.

Allthumbs, I was wondering when you were going to pst some tracks. Well worth the wait. I preferred the blues track - really raucous and a great sound. As you say the jazz track could probably do with a bit of fine tuning but being able to improvise over a piece like this is probably the greatest skill a musician can have.

Well done,
Simon

Thanks. The idea is to be able to do a perfect take the first run through. I am sure kirk can do that,but I am a long way from there. I have several friends who can lay down a perfect take after 2 or 3 runthroughs. My jaw always drops when they do something like that. It is my favourite way of playing guitar now. I struggle mostly with hearing the chord changes,so that's my main focus at the moment.

Great work there allthumbs! That slide style is a tough one to get. You sounded very fluid with it!

Thanks Jim. I went for a raw, honest slide vibe and seemed to pull it off.

Wow that was great allthumbs!

So tough playing with a slide....I was very impressed. When I use a slide I get nothing more that alot of clunking and string noise....I'll stick with fingerpicking for now but thanks for the very inspirational job!
