FranticRock - 1. "East Wes" (Eric Johnson)

I love playing this tune for it's dark mood, melodies and the opportunity to spill out some of that pure strat tone.
Long live EJ and Wes Montgomery!

i like the way u made that your own,very tasteful,clean and honoring.

[FranticRock]

Thanks a lot man.

My band covers this tune. I think you did a fabulous job on this. Not an easy piece at all. What chorus pedal did you use?

[FranticRock]

Hey man. Thank you very much. I didn't use chorus at all actually. I am just using delay throughout - going straight into the amp (slapback).  And I am using overdrive on the middle part.

Nice to see you have added some of your playing into this song making it your version very very good I am working on the song myself and having fun with it

[FranticRock]

Thanks man that's awesome. Yeah i learned it from guitar techniques, but i couldn't remember the whole thing note for note, so i improvised in places lol. It's either my style, or laziness LOL

[MauroPavanelli]

Beautiful version!

[HuevosLibertad]

Very nice improvisation.

[vanu49]

Tks.

[phildas]

yeah dude! completely agreed. the improvs were very tasteful and bring your musical personality which itself is great!

I like the thunder and rain in the background! :)

Yeah I wanted to get that one man. It also has a clean sounding stereo output - so you can run 2 amps without buzz or noises. I'll get it sometime, but for now, i just have a boss GT8 doing all the work.

[earlbig]

I wonder how a T.C. Electronics stereo chorus would sound in the signal chain would sound? That's the chorus that EJ uses.
