Re: Bridge of Sighs
Hehe....I'd really like that! I'm actually creating my own little time capsule, back to the years from 1965-1975, with my new project called The Geoff Wells Experiment! Our first gig is on October 8th here in Melbourne, and the repertoire is some of my favorite songs from that era, including stuff from Deep Purple, Led Zeppelin, Free and Jeff Beck...you're all invited, of course! Australia's not that far away! The good people at Seymour Duncan Australia and Dominant Music, the Australian Seymour Duncan distributor, are presenting the shows...I can't wait!
Cheers....................................... wahwah
Very cool man!
Now we just need to buy you ticket for a time travel back to the Woodstock in the late 60s so you can rock the stage.

That's gonna rock Geoff! I hope you can record the gigs and maybe put out a live package - iTunes perhaps?

We will definitely be recording the gigs, but releasing it would be a copyright nightmare. I will certainly be sneaking a few tracks on here and some video on YouTube.

I look forward to seeing and hearing them!
I understand if you don't want to do it but it really isn't that difficult. For anyone else who might want to understand the process more here is a link.

Cool! I will definitely be visiting Australia sometime, and when I do, I hope I can sync it up with some sort of show you'll be doing. Unless you're rocking out in Wembley or something..

Re: Bridge of Sighs
I don't think that will be happening again in this lifetime Tor, although, you never know! It would be great to see you here in Oz!
By the way guys, I have updated the file, the new recording is still fuzzy, but not as fuzzy!

Sounds great, tho I missed the first one. Unfortunately can't make it to OZ, so you'll have to post some clips. Oh, and add some Eagles, Cream, and Allman Bros. stuff to that and it would be even better!

Re: Bridge of Sighs
I'm not sure how the laws work over there, but in the States you can get rights to a cover song for "limited distribution" w/o a lot of expense. The "limited" part of it is that you're held to 1000 copies and they say its for "demo" purposes, but I know a band that paid for a few Beatles tunes on an EP and it really wasn't that much money. Want to say it was a little over $100 usd for 3 songs? That was several years ago... there are ways around it.
Anywhoo, Geoff ~ Since you're primarily a strat player, how do you deal with the vibe/fuzz 'identity crisis' that comes along with those pieces? Not being a strat player myself, when I pick one up it's too easy to engage autopilot and hit all the stock Jimi/Stevie licks... adding a fuzz/vibe makes it worse. Hard to avoid that vocabulary since it's burned into my head!!! I just can't help but feel 'my' identity is gone with the Strat/fuzz/vibe setup... any tips?

Re: Bridge of Sighs
Thanks for that information Mr Moose, innerdream was also suggesting that it might not be too difficult/expensive. I will have to investigate further. I've got my own album of instrumental tracks coming out to coincide with these gigs, but it would be great to capture this live band as well.
You know what, I have a lot more fun just succumbing to it! There's so much beauty in what the likes of Jimi, Trower and Stevie did with a Strat that I thoroughly enjoy just getting swept up in it and paying homage to it, and letting things like a vibe and a fuzz just take me there. I don't feel that these things are a threat to my identity through the instrument, because the truth is that all of those players, and many others, are already amalgamated into my own playing in the form of influences. I'm happy to celebrate that, safe in the knowledge that my own voice will still come through the instrument when it's time to stand alone and play from the heart. I feel confident that I can still play straight through those effects and that they will follow my voice, but there's a lot to be learned and a lot of beauty to be enjoyed in getting inside what some of the masters did and really studying it by emulating it. These things can then be incorporated into our own playing and will add depth to it.
For example, if we could all play Gilmour's solo in Another Brick In The Wall, wouldn't that be a nice way to spend an afternoon in a world gone mad? I say yes to that. It can't take anything away from what will come through us all as individuals, but it may just add a few words to our vocabulary for when we next express ourselves. I hope some of that made sense!

Re: Bridge of Sighs
Yeah...
I just personally feel that sound is so identified with a handful of players... and then my fingers find all those licks and I feel like I've lost my own thing.
A few years ago I was shopping for vibes in NYC, at some little guitar shop I pulled a strat off the wall and plugged into a blackface of some kind... Maybe 20 minutes in the guy behind the counter yells across the store;
"Go ahead man, crank it up & play Machine Gun..."
hahaha
I was like "Man, I honestly don't know that one..."
I mean, I know it... I've heard the tune a million times, never learned it... but it's in my subconscious and those things plop out when all the elements are in place. I don't even think about it, it just happens... That vocabulary is so established...
