I wish i could come up with cool folky stuff =[

SUPERBUMP.

new demo in the style of some of the stuff in here. i should really learn to write lyrics and knock out an EP or something.

i got a sudden urge to get some fingerpickin going right in the middle of doing an assignment. i liked the thing i made up so much that i ended up turning it into a whole song.
mixed a bit too quiet.

writing the tuning here because i will forget it.
E-E-B-D#-B-D#

no idea how i stumbled upon that one.

better get back to work now.

wow that middle bit sounds really good, very melodic.

BoringPostcards · Post by **BoringPostcards** » Mon Nov 23, 2009 12:28 am

that was excellent. I love that tuning. Mind if I use it?
you can have this two:
C#C#C#G#BE (good for raunchy drones and strange chords)
EG#BF#BbB (really pretty with harmonics)

I like the way you play good sir. Good on ya.

both of these are wonderful, particularly the last one. i've already made up a song in it.

that new demo sounds great reece, i think you should go with your vocals idea, it'd be nice to hear some whole shongsh.

Reece · Post by **Reece** » Tue Nov 24, 2009 12:49 pm

i cannot write lyrics unfortunately.

it's not like i try and they're bad, i just can't string two words together in the context of a song. i've tried a number of times over the past few years and it just doesn't happen.

stewart · Post by **stewart** » Tue Nov 24, 2009 12:52 pm

just write a bad poem and shoehorn it into a melody, works for me.

Yea that second one is really pretty. I came up with it by trying to make it into a strange chord that I liked. It's great with capo too. Capo on 4th and 6th particularly.

here's another: EADF#FD / DADF#FD (the F#'s are probably technically Gb's, but whatever)

Anyhow, yea I really like yr style. Reminds me a friend of mine who I used to play around with alot. We used to spend hours just mucking about with tunings.

I totally forgot you used to be called zaphod.

i loev memory man. it's like drone heaven.

jaguar > smmwh > guitar rig.

guitar rig is just doing amp modelling and recording, all the effects and looping are the memory man.

the video is just a bunch of photos fading together because i didn't video the actual playing.

Nice that I'm experiencing buyer's remorse before the new kit's actually arrived...

Sounds great Reece.

Reece · Post by **Reece** » Mon Feb 08, 2010 3:54 am

DIG, was cool to hear that with ze English vowel sounds, as odd a thing to say as that is.

Not familiar with that Low song, but I liked the cover lots.

Your voice is hella broken for a non-smoker though, I take it you can still talk ok?

I loved both of those Reece. You have a great voice.
