Music to be made after Monday 19 July, 2021 And I forgot to say I thought you were referring to FREEDOM DAY as the idiot Politicians have called the 19th July in the UK - my brother tells me come Monday, all lockdown nonsense stopped and things are back to normal, or as far as they can be. Unfortunately here in South Africa our Politicians are too stupid to be called idiots.........so we still have very hard lock down and because of nearly 18 months of this nonsense, jobs have been decimated, with little to no Government help - the maximum the Government paid all these people (who the Government put out of work) - R350 per month - that is US$23 per month to feed your family..........and that stopped a while ago - i think our President said the Country could not afford it any longer as he need a new Presidential jet, or something like that?? so no job, locked away in very substandard housing with little to no heating, in MID Winter and a very cold and wet winter...equals Riots and Looting and guess what, that's exactly what happened!! Opps, sorry got on my soap box a bit there....Sorry Bapu, didn't mean to hijack your thread at all Cheers Nigel

That looks a bit strange to me, apart from it being backward!! And calling it a Telecaster seems a bit of a reach? I decided a while ago not to buy anymore Guitars......................i decided to design and Build my own!!!!!!!! I'm am hoping it will be finished in the next month.....only taken me a year so far? By the way Baps, like the Jack Cassidy Bass - looks cool Nigel

I have the usual stable of valve amps - Marshall, Fender, Burns, Laney etc. But I also have a couple of Transistor / Modelling Amps - Blackstar and Orange Crush for instance. Whilst I am sure most / all of us could tell the difference between what was valve and what was not, I honestly don't think that a lot of people at a gig could!! What's everyone's opinion on that? I know I MUCH prefer lifting my Blackstar which weighs next to nothing as opposed to my Laney which weighs about the same as my car? Nigel

Thanks my friend - at the moment we seem OK in Cape Town - all the real bad stuff has been in Joburg and Durban - just hoping it doesn't spread our way!!!!

Michael Thanks so much and your kind comments are really appreciated Cheers Nigel Hi Tom Thanks for this - yes, worked hard on those drums I seem to remember!! Really appreciate the great comments Thanks Nigel Hi Jeff Thanks for taking the time to have a watch and make such kind comments - much appreciated Cheers Nigel

Hi Bat Hope the album goes well - we all know how hard it is these days to promote music, no matter how good it is!! Cheers Nigel

I like the synths you have used - they sound good - mix sounds pretty good as well Cool Nigel

The start sounds a bit like Beethoven on some good mind bending drugs!! Love it!! I like the build up towards the end - can't wait for part 3!! Nigel

Hi Jack - the sound (i think it is rain?) that is there from the start until about 1.57, I really think is too loud - distracts from your vocals Other than that Good start Nigel

Sounded good - what synths were you using? Cool Nigel

Great Guitar as usual and yet another good track Mix sounded really good to me Cool Nigel

Good stuff Wookie - and different sounds - very interesting Thanks for posting Keep w ell Nigel

Sounds good here as well - nice stuff Nigel

I've got a few of their products and they are pretty good - so I thought, why not!!!!! Just downloaded - a real mixed bag of stuff but there is bound to be stuff worth more than 75 bucks!!!!

Hi Tom - I think this is brilliant - great beat, very cool lyrics indeed and I love your video - just GREAT And as Wookie said if there are any issues I missed them as I was just enjoying the song and the video too much!!! Cool Nigel

Hi Makke Another great bit of guitar playing and yes you really know how to use that Tremolo Bar!! Cool Nigel

I don't really care what genre this is, I liked it!! The mix sounds fine to me Great job Cool Nigel

Steven Thanks for positing - i never get any notifications from Lennar about updates etc Cheers Nigel

Hi Kenny Great playing - enjoyed every second and every note - well except of course the last note!!!! Cool stuff indeed Nigel

Thanks for this - so pleased you enjoyed the video, as we put quite a bit of effort into those these days!! Cheers Nigel Hi tom Ha ha, well thanks so much for trying!!!! Always appreciate your time and your comments Keep well Nigel

I settled on using just one brand of compressor and I stick to this about 90% of the time! I use Arturia compressors - i purchased early in a very good sale and have upgraded along the way - the compressor I use the most (and it has side-chaining) is the Fet 76 but i do use the others as well https://www.arturia.com/products/software-effects/comps-bundle/comp-fet76 The other effects in the full bundle are also excellent and get a lot of use - i love the Dimension D for instance. They do have reasonably regular sales I believe Nigel

Hi John Wow thanks for those great comments - really humbled and really appreciate them Thanks so much Nigel

Hi Jack - again I definitely hear some Steely Dan influence, which in my book is a very good thing!! Nicely done indeed Cool Nigel

Like this David and I thought the mix was spot on What did you use for the violins / cello etc? Cool Nigel

Good Guitar playing, track sounds good - nice job Nigel
