I tried to make a cruddy hillbilly garage pounder but I just couldn't resist doing a touch of introspective pseudo-finger-style midway through

  • you need a touch of jazz training to really hit rockabilly riffs! those guys wernt amateurs! same with the jamaican ska guys (jamaican rockabilly really) they had all grown up with a jazz/swing input.

  • @gnowave actually, that's not 100% true. Musicianship was all over the place. Some were pros and highly gifted technically but some were crude-ass punks with little more than 3-chords and a big ton of echo (I prefer the crude-ass punks)

  • what kind of amp here?

  • @revbrodiddley this was a Vox Ac15 (late '90s reissue)

  • the last part was savory, were you stomping on any pedals? good seeing again buddy...

  • Nah , no pedals - I was stomping on the tremolo footswitch (the amp has built-in trem). But I do want to get a decent tremolo pedal at some stage - my built-in ones don't really inspire me.

see all

  • still a great lookin fiddle, reminds me of...aged brown leather. nice! footswitch is also a great alternative...very dreamy sound. good stuff

  • @JohnnyFriendly well, yeh, many of the minor independant out of the way labels did release a load of crumby stuff, some of which is still pretty classic. however, classic rock n roll and rockabilly guys were steeped in country, jazz, and western swing grooves. and thats pretty much what made them so good. tho more rock n roll, think of gene vincents guitarist, was it cliff gallup? extreme example, but well jazzy,, and too danny cedrioni (spelling) of bill halleys comets! wow!

  • wow this sounds so cool!!

  • great :-) I like it!

  • very kool org stuff ,like it thanks

  • Great!
