Foundryman's Blues

I heard bentonio07 do his song Nasty Man's blues, and I liked his guitar groove a lot. I used his riff and incorporated them into my little harp ditty.

You should be able to heard heavy machinery sounds in the background..That's because I was tapping my own foot for rythm, and when I played it back, the acoustics of my apartment created an almost metallic reverb effect without any help from me. Inspired, I just goosed it a little bit and I ended up with a sound like a factory or some ironworks machinery.

I decided to call it "Foundryman's Blues" because of the sound I found quite completely by accident.

Anyways, Enjoy!!!

I used less than a quarter of the overdrive used for the patented Chicago blues sound, and shoved it through a low pass filter set to 1200hz, with 0.2 second delay and about 0.2 seconds of decay for echo. Makes for that dark-and-smokey-whiskey flavor you dig.

Everything else is just my tone..

Not everyone goes for it, so I pulled it out for second posting and left it untouched.

holy cow.... how do you get that SOUND???? that's a great harp! I gotta learn how to do that...

[kokoro86]

Which sound are you inquiring about in specific? I'll trry to help as best I can to point you in the right direction if I can.

Checked out your stuff too, and I have to say you've got some chops yourself on the harp, let alone on the gee-tar.

I can't imagine trying to coordinate MY harp licks with playing a guitar. Rock on, Billy-Bob!

me think it sound like wolf! i like

[lizardkingrevived]

Wow! amazing. Loved it.

[nutcombe]

Nice combination with the original song - well done to both!

[billdek]

I guess it's the reverb you've got on - or some kind of distortion. Gives it a dark-and-smoky-whiskey flavor. I see that you re-did it without the reverb too - but I like this one. PS Bentonio sent me the link to your version of his song - he's a buddy of mine. Cheers to you both - this is GREAT - Bill

Yeah, really cool, fits the mood of my song perfectly, but at the same time it's all your own. Great!

awesome! if anything, I would take a the echo or reverb effect out. but your harp playing is great! well done!
