Forever and Ever - instrumenal

[mick hearn]

After getting my confidence back at Barnham (Yes I had really lost it) I put this together over the past couple of days. Hope you like

[JohnDavisStringsHere]

Very Nice Mick, Your sound and tone at Barham were second to none! you seemed to have the perfect combination of guitar and amp for that classic steel sound ....glad your back

[mick hearn]

Thanks John. Even managed to get that second string whole tone drop in.

[Will C]

Nice work, Mick. I ought to pluck up the courage to try putting something up myself one day.

[David Hartley]

Absolutely Brilliant Mick.

Keep it up and post more and more... I think I heard the 2nd string drop in a couple of places too during this instrumental.

Loved it, great sing choice also....

Hello Mick,lovely to hear you play . Where are you getting your reverb/echo from ? It sounds as if it goes on forever. Regards Derek.

[Uncle Roy]

Well Derek,
The song is Forever and Ever Oops Sorry.

[Shaun]

Nice one Mick, Sounds terrific

[mick hearn]

Thanks for the comments. I came across the song by accident. I was adjusting the EQ on my amp and was running across the strings and had the B pedal down. I kept hearing the opening run or at least part of it and thought "Where have I heard this before?" then I realised which song it was so had a go . Strange how you come up with things.

Dave Hartley was right. When you record, you realise where you are going wrong. There are several places where I could have used a different string combination and would have tidied it up - but there it's done now. Could re record for personal satisfaction I suppose

Next projects will be "Walk through this world" based on the John Hughey version, then using my 8 string lap steel in C6 "Blue Steel Blues" based on the Tom Morrell version if I can find out what type of runs he does in the second part. Wont be exact as he uses E13 tuning. Then finally ( if my luck is in and I have a year to spare) Oklahoma Stomp by Sneaky Pete. Bloody hell that's ambitious - must want my head testing. It's having the nerve to give it ago and knowing all eyes are on me and wait for the flack. I will use guitar and mandolin hopefully for other parts.

I used my Sho-Bud through the fender amp I had at Barnham so there was a short echo there. I recorded using Cuebase and created an effects track for more of a distant echo. The intro parts through the Fender amp again with chorus.

That is a lovely sound! Great playing, really precise. More please!
