OM: my happy slide song

[echoist]

hi ladies and gentlemen,

this is my attempt at playing slide. after non stop diet of derek trucks and nusrat fateh ali (qawalli singer), i decided to pay tribute to them. (waaahhhhhh...!!!) i tried to make it sound like classical indian music singing (unlike nusrat's). and i demoed it to a indian friend of mine. we ended up laughing non stop. i guess i failed big time!

take a listen tho, you can hear all the bum notes, intonation problems, out-of-tune playing and all the dirty stuff... i sum up this song as my "HAPPY SONG".

damn i like it so much i had to add a second note.... very tastefully done... this one is staying on my pc!!!

cool stuff. open tuning?
the pitch is quite accurate, at least for most of the notes
but. too repetitive..

hehehhhhe... ok EvilGtr, i used a slide actually, a rusty brass slide! not using the whammy, coz i was using a maple neck strat then. abt the backing track, i programmed the drums and let it loop non-stop. the bass is actually played, but i did the guitar 1st before i did the bass. i used a zoom mr1044 digital recorder, so no programmes. and yes this is an original piece... glad u can hear the "indian styley".

to hifi_killer, i didn't usen ope tuning, it was done in standard! hehehehhhee... and yes, i did find it repetitive too. its just the flow i had then...

and turbochicken, i really loved ur comment. hehehehhhehehh...

thnx guys for ur comments. and thnx for taking the time to listen too...
