    Default Herringbone funk jam

    http://www.dolphinstreet.com/video_clips/video-14.php

    Messed around with this funk groove I found on another forum. Fun to play over! With this kind of stuff, you can play pretty much anything scale/arpeggio wise - as long as you end your idea on notes that belong to the key, it can sound pretty cool.

    It sounds great as usual Robert! It had a little Scott Henderson vibe to it
    I can't say that I've given up on a flanger cause I've never liked the effect either. I also can't say the same about Tremolo. I hate them both equally. - Tone2TheBone 2009

    Thanks! It was a fun groove to play over. It would be fun to hear some other fretter play over this.

    Haha... I downloaded it and recorded a take right away...
    I also had a hard time hearing the backing track, so mine is also full of bad timing. I really havent played this kind of jazz much, but it is fun to play with distorsion once in a while!
    I ran out of ideas very quick so I tried a familiar melody.. it became... well listen yourself

    It seems there is no end to the versatility of the Squier '51... Great job, Robert! Cool phrasing.

    Which pickup were you using?

    The "Dallas" theme? That was awesome!

    Thanks Kat! I think I used mostly the humbucker on the coil tap.

    Kat - Yes the old dallas theme!

    Robert - That ´51 sure does the coil tap thing good!

    Hi SuperSwede – Personally I think you did a good job improvising on Herringbone BT. You are being too hard on yourself. Ok, the volume was a little low, but I think the solo was very nicely done. I wish I could improvise as well as you. I am working on it.
    Guitars:

    Electric: Washburn HB-30, Squier Tele Custom Deluxe, Jay Turser Strat.
    Acoustic: Seagull S6.

    AMPs: VOX AD30VT, Peavey Envoy 110.

    Modelers: V-AMP 2, Digitech RP-100A.

    Pedals: Boss RC-2 Loop Station, Boss CE-5 Chorus Ensemble, Digitech Bad Monkey, Ibanez DE7 Delay/Echo, DOD VFX40B 7-Band Graphic EQ, Ibanez CS-5 Super Chorus.

    Robert and SuperSwede, two great pieces of playing! You guys should form a Super Group like they use to do in the 70s.

    I just listened to it now - I can see J.R. Ewing having a scotch! Cool take, Swede, nice tone you got there. The B/W Tele?

    We have IKEA here, so I can get Kalles Kaviar! I miss Messmör the most.

    The Tonelab seems like a great product, your sound is sweet.

    We need to get more people jamming on songs! Nelskie? It's your turn!
