The Alkali Blues

Postby hickenjr » Thu May 26, 2016 10:33 pm

Here's an original I've made with inspiration of the name from my chemistry teacher.

Towards the back end of the instrumental I used a bit a fuzz as my rock fan mates have been begging me for it for ages.

I hope you enjoy! Certainly something different from me!

Kind Regards, Steven Hicken Jr.

Nice one Steven. Good on you for coming up with an original tune, keep it up :guitar:

You're a brave man whipping out the fuzzbox in these here parts :shock: For my humble tastes, I'd dial back the treble on the fuzz, it can get a bit, 'wasp in a jar'. Have you heard Robert Randolph? I reckon he's the undisputed daddy of distortion, your mates would love him :guitar:

And, what came first, the tune or the t-shirt? :lol:

Thanks for posting :guitar:

Thanks Richard!

Cheers Danny! I like covers but I love making originals.
Being my first time using fuzz on a video I didn't really know what to expect but I'll use your advice next time which with good responses on a whole there will be one!Looking to tap into some rock for my mates. I've shown them Robert Randolph but they prefer Steve Vai ;) ... That's where I come in. I'm still country though.

Erm the tune came before the t-shirt...just.

Cheers again lads!
