Thanks so much Nigel!

Much appreciated!

Thanks so much for your comments,  guys! 

I'm glad that you enjoyed it!

I decided to revisit the blues with this little instrumental. Once again had the pleasure of playing with Dave Sharp (Hammond C3 and Leslie as well as the bass) and Larry Rose  (drums). Guitar once again was the Kemper direct into the DAW.

I think that it came out really well. It was great fun putting this together.

Hope you enjoy!

Cheers

Peter.

Well Jack,

At least you can see that it was completely live. No post production.

My plan was to watch for a couple of minutes but I ended up seeing the whole hour-long video. Great performance, great tribute.

Thanks for watching and for your comments!

Cheers!

We recorded our CCR tribute in my studio and filmed it as well. This was done during lockdown as a live stream back in April. A bit strange to not have an audience but it is what it is.

We decided to put it up on Youtube for viewing if anyone is interested.

The link will be up for 48 hours.

Happy New Year to all! Hope you enjoy!

That was super. Very tasteful, and the fact that the (excellent) drummer is making guitarist faces is an added bonus in the emotion department! 

Lots of talent in the Southern Hemisphere!!!

 

cheers,

Thanks for the kind comments, Tom! 

Yes, Larry gets a lot of comments about his guitar face (live and in the studio) ?

Really excellent job by all!!!  I love the driving throughout the song and the build up from acoustic to electric on the guitar.  The video was a perfect complement to the music (or visa versa).

Congratulations on the HiFi deal!

Thanks guys!

@freddy j thanks for the comment!

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.

 You can tell experienced musicians when you see them. You guys should be out playing a gig somewhere. Nice work!

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

Big ?'s from me.

How fast are you burning through G strings on that acoustic?
I've had 'em separate into little "blocks" of windings between changes.

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!

I enjoyed this very much.  The music is very relaxing and has a reassuring tone to it which says to me "The world is still here.  We will all get back to normal soon".

I don't know if that's what you wanted to convey here, but it's all lovely and well put together and I love the video!

?John B

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.

Kudos to your percussionist (the rest of it wasn't too shabby either). I really enjoyed that Peter, as I do a lot of your stuff. Thanks for sharing - that video was well worth the effort, really brings the track to life.

HI Pete.
I always listen to the track first..  and then go and watch the video later.
So my comments here are based just on the sound track first.

I would love to have a go at mixing this track as its the kind of music I like.
(not saying that I can do better... we all paint very different pictures)
Great musicianship here.

Loved the thumbs up reflection to the drummer?

Nice cool track, good balanced mix here thanks you for sharing your skills and talent.

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!

Very nice! Must have been a lot of work put into this. Really like the acoustic and then electric guitar. The percussion is very cool too.  Exceptional.

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.

You guys are really good. Great video, pretty cool watching you guys play together. Not being much of a guitar player myself, I don't know what a Kemper is and I always wonder how come the lead guitar player never needs a score sheet?  ☺️

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.

I just echo all the above (with the exception of the Kemper comments, I don't need anymore gear, so I'll just pretend its a Marshall...)

?

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.

If I were in the market for a Kemper , this one would sell me. They'd do well to get a hold of this for a promo.  Enjoyed it again ..  mark

Nice rendition and video Peter.

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.
