Unfinished Business" mp3
Here's another mp3 from me, temporarily called "Unfinished Business" in lack of a better name....
This one's quite a bit louder and rougher than the stuff I've posted earlier, but I'm sure you can handle that.
It's a huge file, 5,5Mb, but there's a shorter version on my website for those with slow connections.
It's my Asher Electro Hawaiian all the way, as usual..
Enjoy - Unfinished Business

Wonderful playing, Steinar! Those beautiful notes echo all across the border to your Scandinavian neighbor.
Now I want to hear more ...

I love it! I'm an "old timer" who started out playing Ray Price tunes and trying to emulate the "country" sounds of Jerry Byrd and Buddy Emmons. Although your work could be confused with standard guitar slide work (by the casual listener), you certainly play with feeling and good tone & technique that is complimentary to the musical number. All in all...beautiful! Thanks for posting it!!!

Dang it, Steinar, now why'd you have to go & quote my words out of context? Now I know what all the politicians mean on the cable news channels when they complain, "Now hold on just a minute, I'm being quoted out of context here!" etc., etc...<SMALL>Well, thanks a lot John! </SMALL>
I apologize for that unfortunate combination of word-choices there, Steinar. It ocurred to me after posting the above that my choice of words was perhaps not the best (in retrospect, I guess that, no matter how positive the intended sentiment may be, "sucks" should probably never appear anywhere in any sentence that is meant to be a compliment...), but I hoped that no one would pick up on it. Shows you what <u>I</u> know!
Anyhoo, let me say it again, but hopefully this time with some better-chosen, more straightforward words: Great job!

Thanks a lot folks!
Randy - funny you should mention your Vox wah, because the one I use is a Fulltone "Clyde" wah which is inspired by the Vox "Clyde McCoy" wah from the late '60s. Is that the one you have?
For those interested,- I run the Asher through the Fulltone Clyde wah into a Fulltone Full-Drive2 overdrive, and then through my POD set to a clean Fender 'Blackface' amp emulation.
Charlie - I use the open-D tuning on this one (as on most of my stuff). I'd say a tune like this could have been played in almost any tuning though, including the standard guitar tuning, since it's all single note stuff and no chords, harmonies, or 'standard' steel licks involved. Some phrases would naturally sound a bit different, but the basic character would be intact (I think....).

Steinar. I have an old Vox wah. the pot went on it and a tech rebuilt the pedal. it now has a hotter pot in it.
if I am not careful with my treble setting
I can cut glass and diamonds with the sharpness when the strat treble is up full up.
rolling back a bit I can get bite, but with softer teeth.
my wah and lap have a completely different sound than yours.
but then our parts are different that make up the whole.
your whole sounds better than mine.
I play an Epiphone Zephyr through a fender vibrolux custom. love them tubes.
the pickup was rebuilt by Lindy fralin. he did a fantastic job.

Interesting point, Charlie.
Even though regular guitar was my main instrument for ~30 years, I've always had an intense on/off love affair with the fretless bass. The fretted basses I've owned has never lasted long,- I love playing bass but it has to be a fretless.
Just bought myself a fretless Fender J-Bass (I use a Yamaha on this track) and was blown away by it, I had completely forgotten how fast and slim those J-Bass necks are...
Frets are boring........

I never gave the "fretless" bass and "fretless" guitar interaction much thought ....Now that it's been mentioned, it's starting to make more and more sense to me ... I'm always leaning toward a fretless bass on song's of a moody nature ... This fit's a lot of Steinar's work from what I have heard...
