kennywtelejazz Posted July 21, 2019 Share Posted July 21, 2019 Hi everybody , I woke up the morning and said Hey I feel like playing on a new song . Twanger Central had a new track up so I said OK this one will do . The Track that I'm playing over was just the Piano only so I decided to stretch out and play various guitars and instruments. On this song I'm playing guitar , guitar synth , Bass, and a few various other things. I consider this mix and song to be a work in progress at this point . BTW, I nicked that picture off James . That house sure looks like a real nice place to live ... Here is the piano backing track I played over ....provided for those ambitious souls among us As always , I hope you guys enjoy the playing , Kenny 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AndyB01 Posted July 21, 2019 Share Posted July 21, 2019 Nice playing Kenny - love those mutes (and everything else), great clean sound as well - so many places you can take this - a very enjoyable listen. Andy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhonoBrainer Posted July 21, 2019 Share Posted July 21, 2019 Super nice on the volume swells. You have excellent feel of when to play, and when not to. Cool beans! cheers, -Tom 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andy Hi Andy ! I have been messing around on the side w where I may want to take this ...I'm glad you like what I have done so far . I'm glad I trusted my original playing instincts ..now I have to be super careful as to what I may add to the song . thank you for your comments .

They are done using only my right hand pinky w a synchronized left playing hand ...no automation . When I was younger people used to tell me I would be a really good guitar player once I slowed down and played with a lot more feel ... They didn't tell me that it was gonna take a real long time and for me to get a lot older for that to happen ?

Old Joad Posted July 26, 2019 Share Posted July 26, 2019 very cool playing, when I heard that bit at the start of the song I went out and bought a volume pedal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grem Posted July 26, 2019 Share Posted July 26, 2019 I listened to this the other day. I thought to ask (but I really didn't want to go down that road again! LOL : ) if that was you using the volume knob or it was the guitar synth. Because I can't make out where the synth is. IJK. I am thinking it's the part with what sounds like vibrato/tremelo? Listened to it at work the other day and today I listened again on my monitors at home and I could really hear much more definition here at the house. Really good playing Kenny. Great touch as always. And nice tone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joad , A volume pedal is a cool thing to have ...I need to get one someday ...till then, I will continue to just use my pinky. ( on the guitars I have that will let me do it that way ) . glad you dug my geetar playing ... On 7/26/2019 at 7:24 AM, Grem said: I listened to this the other day.

Listened to it at work the other day and today I listened again on my monitors at home and I could really hear much more definition here at the house. Really good playing Kenny. Great touch as always. And nice tone. Hello Grem , Glad you gave this one a listen and dug the sounds ... I put a lot of thoughts into things long before I even touch my instrument .. I live w a track primarily w my ears and heart only . I listen I listen I listen ...then I listen some more . If I dig the track enough I create a story and make a loose plan of what I might play ...then I will experiment and play over the parts of the song that may give me a problem ... Don't get me wrong , I also will play over the parts I like , the thing is I don't like flying high on my guitars fret board and then hitting a section of a song that takes me out into a back alley , beats me up and then tries it's best to mug me ... To be perfectly honest I don't really care what guitar I'm gonna play or what type of gear I'm gonna use ..all that "stuff " is there is to serve me , not the other way around... I generally have one or two guitars out within arms reach at all times . Thankfully my super large dog does not think they are his personal chew toys ... Depending on what Guitar I have out will determine whether I will use it or not . In this case I had a solid body and a Jazz Box out ...that's what I used ... As far as guitar synths goes , I have older tunes out where it is all heavy synths and textures ...Now a days I tend to use my midi guitar playing in more subtle ways .. In this song the most obvious guitar synth section was the section you pointed out. Then there's the 12 string on the other side ( left ) My Bass playing was on a 4 string ,yet in those sections my guitars counter melodies were analog Jazz box right& Gtr Synth left ... anyway that's all care to share for now , have a good one , Kenny Edited July 28, 2019 by Kenny Wilson 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Douglas Kirby Posted July 28, 2019 Share Posted July 28, 2019 This song has a lot of emotion - it pulls you in - sort of a reminiscing type of vibe. The mix sounds very nice to my ears. Nicely done. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David Baay Posted August 5, 2019 Share Posted August 5, 2019 Sweet... a Kenny Wilson twofer! Listening to this, methinks another collab might be in order. I have a virtually endless supply of solo piano grooves like this from which you can choose. ;^) Cheers, Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure , if you want to run something you have done by me just let me know . The collab we did years ago still goes down as one of the best I've been a part of still to this day . all the best, Kenny Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Baay Posted August 9, 2019 Share Posted August 9, 2019 Yeah, you did a masterful job on Two Dude Defense with the full-fledged arrangement you brought to it. I won't ask for that level of effort this time . Just soloing over a simple groove on keys or keys+drums like this. I'll pick a few things and share them to your bandlab account for you to consider. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
