We were talking about Jerry Reed some, you know your were talking about Reed and stuff like
that so
that's where I started my playing. My dad
played fingerstyle and I've always kept that even though I've
just, you know I'm in sessions and do a lot of different things I've always kept this
fingerstyle thumb picking thing. It was pretty much thumb and first finger.
You know
you know that kinda thing. That's where I got it I was watching him
then he had bought some Chet Atkins - Jerry Reed albums and then I heard the
song called the Claw.
you know, Jerry Reed.
He asked me if I improvise a lot in the studio. In Nashville they gives us a lot of
creative a room there.
Our identity and character goes into a lot of those records.
You know we come up with hook licks and stuff and we all do.
It is a guitar town. It seems like they're all guitar intros
somehow the guitar
you know was the king of the hill there.
Well, takes - okay, well I like to do a solo
and then maybe three or four takes on a solo
because I mean again like I was saying over there's it's like a record. You know it
is a record, it's not like a record, it is a record you don't want to
spend 10 minutes on a quick solo - You'll go home and go "gah" I'm going to hear this over and over
and I knew I could have played this one cool thing
better. You know, I'll do different takes, maybe four different tracks on a solo-
we'll cut the song, we'll go over the song maybe we'll cut two songs, maybe one song
a session, a three-hour session
two if it clicks. It's always good to go with that
instinct you have on a song- you get the emotion from it right away.
I find that you try to play things that you already played that you liked on the
other one and you should have kept the other one so fix the other one more than anything.
So its got a good reaction with these pedals; that's a Wampler Hot Wired.
You know there's so many distortion pedals now but you know you got
Fuzz Face which is more like the
you know, what Hendrix used and Eric Johnson just
designed his own where there's little switches inside where you can add and take the high end and low end
and they're great pedals.
and then you've got the Plexi sounding ones you know the one's that sound like Marshall
and then you've got the Tube Screamer that have that nice warm
mid range. You've got different kinds you know,
this one's kind of a blend of that like a Tube that it has that Plexi thing plus a little
mid-range thing and it's got a bass boost on it-one thing that's really cool.
If you're using an open back, you know sometimes you use a closed back you get that
push that
bass push out of a Marshall stack or something and this one,
you can flip the switch on normal or if you're using a closed back like this you
can flip it on fatter and it gives you that
push, you know that big bass push.
and then this new ones got the clean blend on it.
Thank You!
