The Steel Guitar Forum

I've been sitting around with my broken hand all wrapped up, in pain off and on and frustrated at not being able to play. So I looked in the archives and found a slew of experimental improvised takes on Gordon Lightfoot's iconic tune I'd done on my Asher Electro about two and a half year ago.

No single take was good so I did some EQ, FX and cut & paste work to create two new experimental takes. At the time, I recall trying for a haunting quality that reflected the subject of the song. In #2, strangely, I kind of like that the melody doesn't exactly line up in tempo with the rhythm ... kind of adds to the weirdness.

duct tape is yoer friend Andy either your,pick hand or your bar hand. Play even if it's crap it's musical expression. That has health benefits.

Well AJ, with 134 views and one response I probably should have duck taped my mouse to the desk instead of posting this crap - I mean musical expression.
