Just had an interesting spin off to my video. A top end Hi Fi company wants to use my music (starting with this one) to use as a demo in their showrooms and on their website. The best part is that they're paying a decent amount for this. In this music climate I'll take any kind of new business model for my music.

Thanks, Starise! We certainly do play gigs, unfortunately due to the Covid restrictions our gigs have been cut to a minimum.

Thanks for the comments, Paul! Thank you Douglas! Much appreciated! Thanks DC! Yes, I am fairly hard on guitar strings. I use quite heavy gauge acoustic strings, so in order to get any kind of vibrato on a wound third requires an aggressive approach. Cheers.

Maybe think about dropping the reverb a little on the drums. That will bring them forward a touch.

Your arrangement is excellent! Well done!

Thanks for your comments, John. It's pretty much my sentiments too. Glad you like the video. It was a lot of fun putting it together. Cheers

Thank you so much for taking the time to listen/watch and for your comments everyone! @Lynn, thanks for the comment. Glad to see that you enjoy the videos. @ Andy - thanks for the comments. I'll be sure to tell Larry. @ David - Thanks for the comment. Yes, I had to somehow "hide" my poor piano playing, Lol! @ Gary - thanks for your comments! Yes, Larry is a perfect session drummer. @ Wookie, thanks for your comments, cheers!

Thank you Bapu and Marshall! Glad you liked it!

Thanks so much, Kurt. Yes, it was a lot of work but very rewarding at the same time. Thanks for watching.

This is the fourth track from my upcoming album "Big Moving Parts". I decided to create a rough theme to this video. I think it works in the context of the title etc. Hope you enjoy. Cheers.

Thanks so much for the comments! Cheers!

Thanks, Bjorn! Basically a Kemper is a digital hardware device that mimics the tone of a miced up guitar amp which allows you to record directly into your DAW.

If anyone uses a Kemper, the main profile used in the first part of the song was my Marshall JCM2000/Drivemaster amp/pedal combination. It's available as a free download on my website. www.peterhanmer.co.za Cheers.

Well you're not wrong. The Kemper profiles were made from my Marshall. Cheers.

I would really like to have the ability to copy a file from one project (maybe an older project) of the same song and be able to paste it at exactly the same time on the timeline in a newer version of the song. At the moment I have to make sure that the cursor is in exactly the same place on the newer track to ensure that the audio is pasted in the correct place on the timeline. To have a "paste in place" option would be great. Thanks.

Thanks for your comments guys! @ Mark, the Kemper was a game changer for me. The profiles used in the track were my own profiles which I created from my live rig. Cheers.

Thanks you for your comments everyone! I'm glad you all enjoyed it. We had a great time recording and filming the whole session. Much appreciated! Cheers Peter.

Thanks for the comments. Much appreciated!

This Santana song is not one of his more popular instrumentals but has been one of my favourite songs for a really long time. I’ve always wanted to do a version of this and thanks to my two very good friends, Dave Sharp and Larry Rose I’ve been able to do just that. My first thought was to do a completely different take on the song but after listening to the original I realised that the playing, feel etc was perfect. This is therefore my tribute to a guitar player who had a great influence on me when I was younger and probably still does. The only change that we made was to lengthen the song. I felt that the original version is just too short. I hope that you’ll enjoy this version of a beautiful song.

Thank you Daryl! Much appreciated!

Really nice song! Excellent production too! Well done!

Thanks Starise! Yes, the video is just to make things a bit more interesting instead of just uploading the audio. I might look at adapting the visuals in the future and make it into a proper music vid. Thanks for the comments. It's much appreciated and I'm glad you enjoyed it!

Thank you DA! When a track is as long as this one you have to try and keep things interesting by changing the parts slightly. I'm glad you enjoyed it. Cheers

Thanks so much to everyone for the comments! @Mark, well that's the first comment I've seen so far about a 12 minute track been too short 😀 Thanks for the kind words. @ Lynn thank you! I was a big Line 6 Helix fan but I have to say I think that the Kemper definitely has the edge. @Grem Thank you for your comments! Yes, Larry often doesn't get the credit that he deserves. Bear in mind he is a fantastic drummer who is capable of so much more but is always aware of over doing things in the studio. That's what makes him the ultimate session drummer. @ emerald soul Thank you for your comments. The profiles were created by me and are profiles of my Marshall JCM2000 TSL using the MI Audio Super Crunchbox, MI Audio Super Blues Pro and Marshall Drivemaster pedals. I have three Sony HD video cameras and use these in conjunction with a Go Pro which I mounted above the drums. I also have two colour bar lighting rigs in the booth which are permanently setup via a colour mixer. @Nigel Thank you for your comments. They are much appreciated. Cheers, Peter.

Thanks for your comments, Allan. I appreciate you taking the time to listen. I kept the bass simple as all the playing on the track is kept in check with very little "over playing". It's a very dense mix at times but the definition is retained by all the instruments being a bit restrained. Thanks for your wishes on the album! Regarding amount of replies - hey, you win some, you lose some. Cheers.
