Zane King "Rose Colored Glasses"

Post by Zane King »

I posted a version of this that was recorded to my studio track. However, I went back and listened to this demo version of this song and I like it better. Funny, how after polishing it up that it sort of lost the free and loose feeling. I am truly an improv player. Rarely, do I play the same thing twice.

Check it out.

I liked that one a lot. Really liked those parts/chords with the arm lever. I need to figure out how to make that sound come out of my steel.

Somehow I missed this.
That is a great version of that song Zane.
I love the accents/stops you do at the last verse.
The Jackson sounds great along with you.
Merry Christmas.

Zane you done a great job of playing and I loved the way you lifted the bar and went down to a different fret and put the bar right where it should have been each and every time. I guess it takes a lot more practice to do it that way and it sounds great.I think I will give that a try what the hey I can't play that good any way.Maybe it will make me a little better.

Thank you Chris for pulling this up out of the basement of the Forum here. :))) Always good to hear from you.

Samuel White - I was wondering if anyone caught that or not! It is not just for show. I think it actually creates a slightly different sound when approached in that manner.

Thank you Gary! These Jacksons are wonderful! And I appreciate your acknowledgement of the tone coming from the player.
