Nice tone on that guitar, reminds of when I heard Bad Benson for the first time

After reading your post I did give Bad Benson a listen . Yes my tone does sound a little like his because of the type of guitar I'm using 

George's playing is a lot more intense than mine is on my song ...the good news is , after all these years of playing I'm finally able to copy him ...

thank you for the listen

I will confess to an eye-roll when I hear this song, it's the one "latin" piece that everyone in the bar knows and claims. YMMV

 

?

My mothers whole side of the family is Latin & I am very proud of my biological roots and heritage ...

I grew up listening and playing Latin music w my relatives  . I had gotten a pretty good idea of what constitutes a wide range of Latin Music ...

Old Santana is definitely what I would consider as decent Latin Music ...this tune is what I consider  Latin Music L E .....?

Holy jesus that is some mighty fine noodlin' there, Kenny! It redeems the piece, and then some!!!

-Tom

Hi Tom , thank you for the kind words you said on my playing ....

Yes , playing is about the only thing I got going right , that plus my dog because the rest of my life is usually a mess ...

I hope in the end that my playing not only redeems the piece but adds a little more value to my Life too ...

as far as my dog goes he don't like when I use high gain distortion so that's a gig reason why people hear my playing  using a lot of clean sounds .

Very “Smooth.”?

Tank You Berry Much ...Did you get dat silly Wabbit w that SSSSShotgun your avatar is holding ?

For those that are wondering what I'm talking about  . amillers avatar was a cartoon parody of Elmer Keith ....

I read up on Elmer Keith a few years back .I found it interesting  some of the things he had done ...a lot of modern shooters owe a lot to him  

thanks for the song listen ,

Kenny

Man you sure got some chops on that mandolin ...Dug your banjo playing and your voice too.

I have to say I love your musical sense of humor . Your version of Spider-man was a Super Fun listen .

all the best,

Kenny

Wow your song is a hidden gem that conveys a very deep and powerful message .

It stands out very much like an Oasis for those of us that thirst for music that has and can help make a difference.

I have often thought about much of your songs subject matter and I have the therapy bills to prove it ...lol..

I am very impressed with how you were able to put it all together as a song and capture your message and feelings all in one place .

It just goes to prove songwriting is a true art form that can bridge and help bring a moments joy to a fractured world  that needs healing .

all the best ,

Kenny

Some nice playing Kenny. Really like the touch you use. Sounds like you played it on a guitar like in the pic!

Hi Grem ,

Yes , the way I touch a note and or a phrase is super important too me . A good deal of my practice and playing time is spent exploring the subtle aspects of touch induced dynamics and the tonal  articulations that have become available to me as a result of my time spent digging for touch induced tone gold  ...

When it comes time to play I choose to clear my head and just go on pure instinct ...

Thank you for the song listen .

Really good playing on a really good tune!

I think the tambourine and vocals might be a tiny bit loud, but the mix otherwise sounds great to me.

Great work!

Hi antler,

The tune itself just celebrated 20 years last month ...you may be ball park right about the some of the levels I printed in my mix .

At the time those were the levels I felt conveyed the most  maximum enjoyment to me as a listener of this version of the song  ...

As always I appreciate when people enjoy my guitar playing  and it is not something I take for granted ...

I am one of the few people you will ever meet on this forum that will ask the 64 thousand dollar question ...

Why  listen to me ? When there is at least a million other guitar players you can easily listen too ....

IMHO , that is one of the only questions I feel is worth asking ....at least of myself ...

thanks .

Hey Craig , did you notice Bapu's face started getting real  Pink from holding his breath while he held his Lava Lamp Muscle pose ?

Kenny

Very nice production you did here with your collab mate Daryl...

I noticed right off the bat that as each new moment unfolded during the songs play , the intensity of the song and performances got stronger ...

One could say the tune burns in a Slow Cooker sort of way .

all the best,

Kenny

Freddy ,

Your Song sounds very authentic ..

There used to be an iconic Blues Club in NYC called Dan Lynch's ...your song brought me back there man ...

Great effort ,

Kenny

This song is very nice . It has a subtle hypnotic quality to it ..Also , I absolutly like the genre ...

Your video and song presentation conveys the fact rather clearly that you are multi talented .

all the best,

Kenny

I enjoy listening to this type of piano music ..

Your tune is certainly a scorcher.... Caliente baby ....Mas Caliente.

I think you did a good job with the drums , the only problem I hear here is i think you used all the wrong types of drums ...insert a Homer Simpson smiley

If you ever decide to redo the drums make sure you also throw a Tuba in there ...

FWIW I hear a marching snare , a big ole bass drum , a wash board and a few of the other typical drum corps type of sounds .

Hey let me ask you something OT ..are you the guy that posted the cool pic of the Donkey on your honeymoon ?

all the best,

Kenny

Hi  Cakewalk Guys and Girls ,

An A Minor walks into a Latin Rock Club to escape the scorching July heat only to lay down some heat of it's own .

I hope you enjoy the guitar playing ,

Kenny

Hey Steve ,

It wasn't all the Dick pics that got to my poor old Grammy ...My Granny's got tough crepe paper  skin   . I know I'll never be half the man she is

Speaking of my Granny ,

My poor ole Granny went out to Las Vegas hoping to see a live show .

When she got there she asked a local  resident for directions on where she could buy a six pack . Something must have gotten lost in translation because she never did find the liquor store . She  wound up on the other side of town totally lost . To buy some time  she ducked into a Club to rest her feet and to collect her thoughts  .

While she was sitting there all by her lonesome ,  she wound up seeing a local dance troupe called The Six Bap's ...

She had a real good time , but she left the show stone cold broke once again because my Grandmother is a touchy feel'y  type of gal .

Apparently she dropped her whole bank roll ..     Yes , her whole life savings  tipping the Six Bap's one dollar at a time .

Whew after telling that whopper  I'm gonna get my coat , your coat and my Granny's coat ......LOL

Kenny

PS , Craig thanks for the tip ...I do not have photo shop . I use a thing called Crazy Talk ...all my pics can talk ....if I choose to post vids instead of pics  .

Wonder what he did ?

 

                                   WHAT  did he do ?

                                                        Now you got me wondering what he did

Kenny

My grandmother  knows exactly "who he is " . She's at Church praying for a slice of the 3.9 million dollars his Black Stratocaster  fetched at Auction.

I get the feeling that you like to do tunes in the kakku Epic Genre ...

The soft sections were nice , well thought out melodies and those musical sections seemed  somewhat uncluttered mix wise .

When you started hitting the heavy dirt sounds , things got loose in the corners in a few areas ...

A lot of low end in the mix ...too dense not enough crunch & punch .

Needs more air and breathing room  in some of those sections to bring them out . ( IMHO ) .   

Also I heard a few  rather suspicious   timing issues with some of the beats , arrangement and chord changes ...

Overall I did like a lot of your tune .

You asked for tips ...those I mentioned were a few things you can look into if this song is a work in progress that you plan on revising .

all the best,

Kenny

Hi John,

  I had no idea how you were gonna convey  the loss of your  Ginger .

When your songs melody came in it was dripping with deep emotion . I felt it right away  ..

The  Flute was a good choice ..

Overall I  enjoyed many of the elements of your song  . The style of Bass  playing , the tunes harmonic chord changes , the piano and later on the  string section ...

Sorry about your loss , I have been there myself . Getting your feelings out with music is a gift ...

I wonder, when the animals we love cross over to The Rainbow Bridge , can they still hear us pouring out our hearts to them through our music  ?

all the best,

Kenny

Hi Andy ,

I enjoyed listening to your song .

I stopped looking at the video after a few mins and wound up imaging puppy's , kittens and all sorts of young animals ( wild and tame ) learning how to interact and play with each other.  Your tune  had an element of playful discovery going on  as the melodies  and the songs arrangement morphed  through it's variations.

all the best,

Kenny
