AN original instrumental track by my BB friend Jack-Burton

[Eddies cellmate]

Hey fellas!

My friend form the Maiden BB shared one of his tracks with me, and asked me to share it with you all too. It's an instrumental guitar piece, very cool.

I've placed it on our songs page, under the IMG heading.

Jack's expressed an interest in participating here, so he'll probably be along sometime soon.

He'd welcome any commentary/crticisms/suggestions, etc so feel free to post some thoughts on his track.

Cheers!

I'm listening to it now.

Hey, thanks! On the UM board, I go by TravisW, so I figure I may as well be as confusing as possible, eh? Anyways, this was something I sort of wrote and recorded from midnight to 2am on Sept 29. It is also the first time I have ever recorded my own drumming. I drum like a lead guitar player, but at least I didn't drop the sticks.

Hi JB, glad to see ya.

Gave it a listen...is that a bass on the bottom? Ya got a wierd sound out of it...almost like a synth..or is that both bass and keys?

anyway..cool progression you came with there to jam on top of. I had some fun with it myself.

Solo improvised? Or did you map it out?

Everything but the drums was done on a Peavey Wolfgang Special. For the "Bass", I tuned the low E to an A, ran the guitar through an old Apollo Fuzz-Wah, into a Peavey Bandit. I did some clean volume swells behind the bass---it's mixed really low. For the rhythm guitars, I used the same funky old fuzz pedal. For the lead, I just used the distortion channel on the Bandit. The lead was pretty much improvised---I did about three runs through and kept the third. The "verse theme" was the only thing that I knew for certain that I was going to do, and I just did variations on that.

Thanks for listening, and for the good comments!!!

Got anything new in the works, JB? Anything you might like some other players on?

Nothing quite yet.
Terry and I will have the first Draug album out soon, though.
