Quick take on a BB King track.

Just another little quickie. Trying to leave plenty of space here.

Using GearBox with AC30 model. I used the Michael Kelly Patriot Shadow on the neck pickup.

Might be my favorite tone/track you have posted with this guitar so far. I like it! Your approach is different with this guitar, and I think you are finding how you like to express on this one. At least this mere mortal hears that in your recording. :AOK:

Thanks Steve! I want to try different things each time I record something. Different styles, tones, guitars, backing tracks, etc.

Most excellent, Robert! Of course I love this style blues, but by not overplaying you really made this one soulfull, and the guitar sounds great, as well as the phrasing and string attack.:AOK:

Sounds great Robert. :AOK:

Very easy to listen too... it's been looping now in the background as I work away on some evening tasks.

Keep them coming!

Cheers :beer:

Nice tone, Robert! Your use of dischordant passing notes really spices it up, especially in that rather long phrase abt 2/3 the way thru! :bravo:

Awesome Rob! Perfect guitar type for the style. Tasty licks and right in the beginning we get the BB Trademark *flingggghhhtone*.

:AOK: (there he is again....smiley-tourette-syndrome...can't sopt it...)
