Smooth, Jazzy Looping ("Mellow 83 in E")

Having some fun at night at 83 beats per minute. Lately it's occurred to me that some of the most beautiful pieces of work are understated and the best can communicate their message softly, so I think that's what I was aiming for.

This li'l riff will most likely play as the resolution to the climax of 'Everyone Belongs to Everyone Else', which should be released in its entirety this summer! Oh boy.

I'm playing my Epiphone Sheraton II here, over a simple chord progression on the Martin DM (Emaj to E6sus4). I run the Sheraton through a BOSS DD-20 Giga Delay, with analog delay set to dotted quarter notes (or was it triplets?), then into a Fender '65 Reissue Twin Reverb, heavy on the reverb. Oh lordy, what an amp. Thank you, Alanna! I shot & recorded the playing with a Panasonic HDC-SD100 and rendered using Sony Vegas 9 to a .wmv file.

nice playing, have you changed the pup's in the sherry?

[rootvalue]

@davidquirke1 No, but it sounds pretty nice, doesn't it? :) Nice Sheraton yourself.

I never hear you strum chords :) It fits really well with this riff. So beautiful.

[rootvalue]

@eclecticAH Thank you Alanna. :) Yeah, I felt really dorky strumming the chords, but sometimes the simpler something is, the more enjoyable.

I get the feeling we would make neat music together.
