    back to an orchestral and piano mockup.  this is another one that was somewhat commissioned.  friend is doing a film project based on monarch butterflies that i won't bore you with.  anyway, he needed a score to a 6 minute longshot in which there is first flight and a bunch of sappy dramatic stuff that happens.  so here is that mockup.  not terribly pleased with how the cello is sitting in the mix in the second half and getting its vibrato knocked out by something clashing but i was sick of messing with the mockup and will worry about it in recording and mixing the recorded strings.

     

    ....so good.

    It's in the amp.  It even has a knob...turned to 12 with the Blues Driver punched

     

    But in truth, it ultimately resides in the ears and the brain.

    I have a bunch more bookmarks & tools for stuff like this that help illuminate music theory on the guitar.  Is there an interest in a mass share of this stuff?

    I saw him at Red Rocks 3 years ago or so.  I have been to much worse concerts with guitarists I like a lot better, and I got to watch him jam out on maybe $1.5 million in vintage guitars that were constantly the focus of the jumbotron.  There was nothing about the music that was particularly noteworthy, he played, the audience cheered, I fapped to his guitars.

    He had two sold out shows, and the one I was at was packed with a shit ton of true fans wearing his T shirts from previous tours.  There were long lines at all the merch stands all night.  The audience had a strong Parrothead vibe.  Like they were part of a weird fucking tribe.  Middle aged, overweight, affluent white people bedazzled with their JoeB regalia, bonding over his saccharine white-privilege blues.

    Which is where I have my biggest problem with him.  There is nothing authentic about him as a bluesman.  He's a guy from upstate New York born into privilege.  His father arranged for him to open for BB King at age 12.  And he is now making millions peddling the music of hard, unprivileged lives to other people born into privilege. 

    Compare that to Stevie Ray, who grew up in Oak Cliff, the son of a violently alcoholic father, who paid his dues working in a lot of shithole clubs before he ever got such a gig.  The blues gushed like a levee break out of Stevie Ray.  It is gently poured into a disposable mini-cup by JoeB.

    Well you certainly atoned for a momentary lack of Bonacomisseration. So I suppose he is the Michael Buble of the Sammy Davis Jr.s huh?

    Man, I love that Keef clip.  Your average rock guy might be kinda skinny and slight, but most have come up through some dicey clubs.  They aren't afraid of a scrap.

    My lame band got called on to fill in for an opening act that couldn't make it about 20 years ago.  Headliner was a touring punk band of some reknown.  We were NOT punk, not like that.  The crowd hated us, and the last thing I remember was glancing stage left as some asshole tried to detune my buddy's Les Paul as he was playing.  My buddy has a temper, and he's a multi-level black belt in Aikido.  I thought "oh shit this is not gonna go well" and sure enough, that Les Paul headstock managed to pop the villain right in the forehead.  Blood went everywhere, chaos ensued, and we basically made for the exits.

    It was glorious.  Our bass player got his girlfriend pregnant in the parking lot that night.

    Sorry.  If it helps, both those guitars already sold.

    You do realize the strat had a chance of becoming the next Brownie had you sold it to me for 400.00.
