I set out, totally blank of ideas, to make this an instru version of Bob Seger's classic, "Old Time Rock'n Roll", but realised after the first verse had
past that it would sound too monotonous and wouldn't hold the interest up all the way through so I just 'winged it' from then on and made a totally improvised guitar solo of it, using my almost 100% customised Tokai 'Paisley' Tele for the lead part! One take only (a formula I usually stick to) and a pretty fast one to cut. Did turn out 'so-and-so', but I'm pretty satisfied with the somewhat 'heavy' backing though (I'm a fanatic when it comes to heavy drums and will gladly kill any bass guitar that comes in the way!). Cut in my living room in '97 (what else, lol!) on a very basic 6-track Sansui MR-66 cassette recorder!! Goes to prove that you don't need to have the latest technical gizmos to get passable results!!
Hope you enjoy... (and don't forget the usual routine, aka click on the HQ button on the YT screen for High Quality playback, thanks!!!!)
