Slacker G and Friends

Fingerpickin guitar The real thing folks.. instrumentals, Country, Southern Rock, Blues, ..... whatever.

We're mostly comprised of musicians that have paid our dues playing clubs and bars. I had quit for 25 years before finally getting any interest in picking again. Now we do not play as a group anymore, but we all have DAW's, and we send CD's back and forth to each other. When someone wants me to pick on their CD, they just mail the .bun file to me, I open it, record my part, and send it back. Since I have picked up a guitar again I have met quite a few musicians from the area that I had not met before. And I have jammed with some of them, and recorded with others. Most probably I will also do some projects with people I have met at SoundClick. As long as I like the song and feel I can ad something positive to it, I'll do it. I just get to use what I play on in my CD's as well. I work cheap, don't I? On the other hand, no one could pay me enough to pick on a song I didn't like.

Story behind the song

I always loved big band sounds! And Glen Miller was one of my favorites. 
  One day, years ago, I sat down in front of a cassette tape recorder, and picked this track of Little Brown Jug..   
  This is the actual 25 year old second generation cassette tape converted to digital. I thought I'd post it while I was waiting to do other stuff.

 Naturally, it is unedited, as a lot of my lead lines {in my instrumentals} are, so just like the rest of them you will hear the screw ups loud and clear. 

  I wanted to try that old "walk the bass" trick by using the lower strings for a walking bass, while picking the melody on the other strings. All I can say is "Close but no Cigar." 

  I was so excited about getting through it unscathed, that I blew the last note! Oh well. That makes it even more of a "Live Performance"

  It was an experiment in dexterity, for the most part. But good enough to keep.  

   I mastered this on Sunday, Mar 20 05, and removed most of the tape noise.
