It would be unreal to jam with you.  Next time Im in the states I will give you a buzz? If you are ever down under we have a guest room!

Good advice on the depth of tone.  Just acquired a  new flanger and am lovin' it!!

I did that track in one hit.  So you know the drill.  Listen 100 times then do it again!!  Ill keep you posted!

I'm a sucker for phrase/flange/univibe, and my foot is never far from the wah.  I presume there's some plate reverb on that take as well.

I never get down under but would be ready to jam the east coast if you cross the big pond.  

Really glad you're up to take a shot, let the music take your thoughts, hit the red button and share. On solos, I often hit automatic take/loop and just record alternate takes during practice to keep track of ideas, and what needs improvement.  That process typically leaves two dozen takes on the cutting room floor.  Kind of a workout but eventually I stumble into ideas and begging to leave space for phrasing and repetition to build the story of a solo. I did not use the multi-take process with this project, and now that I hear Craig's one take, I wonder if the rhythmic pace gives a space for developing solo threads.  There's almost a series of pocket spaces slung between bars as the rhythm chugs along.

Blues and Funk draw hard from rhythms of life: trains, horse gallop, etc.  One of my favorite tests of listening to and drafting ideas is while walking at a steady clip.  The pace sets the bpm that is natural for the player and listener, setting a groove swing.  

Craig, you really took advantage of the space and time to develop and tease out variations on tbose phrases on this Red Rhythm.  Sounds cool, and I like the seismic title.

Keep up the great work- it's a blast to strike notes that conjure up the spirit of music.  Thanks!
