A Little Smooth Jazz...

Well, I thought I posted some info about this tune. Sorry...

I did this tune at my Dad's and the whole rhythm section was from his Korg PA-80 keyboard. I just selected a style and played chords. The song was basically written there and the guitar part was written and done on the fly; but I liked the outcome...

I was my Nashville B-Bender with stock pickups going through my Peavey Classic 50/212. The only gripe I have with it other than some bad notes is that my Dad has this thing about adding too much compression to the mix. It's just for fun and it's using his recording gear so I don't mind it...

Use Windows Media Player. I wonder if anyone else is having the same problem....

Cool thing! Just listening to your song :)

Edit: Swish! Man..I seriously love it! Everything is just great!! Tone, the song, your phrasing and the keys sound phenomenal! Time ran up very fast (check out my sig ;))

Arrrggghhh, I am cursed with your tunes, I will try my puter at home and see if it works tonight. I will try and get the WMP up and running. I have it off right now.

I just need to send the tunes to you if you can't get them working.... I was supposed to do that awhile back I know... :smack:
 
Re: A Little Smooth Jazz...

Anybody having problems hearing the tune? I know Smooth Jazz isn't everyone's bag here so I understand if it's not accepted well... :)

A bump for the cool song.

Is it working for you? :D
 
Re: A Little Smooth Jazz...

weird - it's not working in Winamp, but in Media Player (after some initial hickups)

Great playing!
 
Re: A Little Smooth Jazz...

hey butch

i really like it ... nice phrases and melodic concepts .... the tone is awesome ... i like the snappy attack and mellow sustain ... nice finger vibrato and octave playing touches too ... did you do the rhythm guitar too, or was that the keyboard?

cheers

It was the keyboard. Only the melody was me and my Tele..... :) Thanks for the kind words too!!
 
Re: A Little Smooth Jazz...

Really amazing. Very smooth and tasty... I really like to listen to this while working. This Korg PA series is amazing! I wish I had the cash to get one. You can make awesome backtracks with it.

Great song, awesome playing, great tone. Pro result. Nothing else to say but post more, it's better than radio! :)
 
Re: A Little Smooth Jazz...

I was only able to open it in W.M.P. But it's worth it!! Smooth SWEET Jazz.
Very well done. Pro all the way!! Up there with guys like Chuck Loeb etc. :)

I loved the playing...but the compressor bugged me, but never mind that, it was quite pleasent.

Yes, the compressor bugged me too...
 
Re: A Little Smooth Jazz...

Awesome Butch!

I love that kind of jazzy stuff...benson, carlton, et.al.

agree tho about the compressor...a tad too much
 
Re: A Little Smooth Jazz...

Very nice playing !! you have many flavors you like to toss out!! Extremely smooth but as has been noted it is a bit too punchy with the compression. Outside of that it is very cool
 
Re: A Little Smooth Jazz...

This opened up and played in VUPlayer the first time.

I can honestly say, this is one of the coolest clips I've heard in this forum to date. This, along with blues, is one of my favorite styles of music, and this was a great snappy, jazzy, and yet still mellow example of it.

Very cool. I hope you don't mind, I love playing along with this. But I would never ruin it by posting my "take" along with it.

This was awesome. Great job Butch. :)
