PM me with your email and I'll send you a .wav file. It's very short. The sound is like a med-high pitched bark/cough. I ran it though a plug-in (Ohm Force - OhmBoyZ) then added some extra effects to it. It could be used for a unique sounding Hi-Hat or Snare. I'm using it more like a snare.

Unfortunately, right now I can't give it to you in context of the song. I do the royalty free music libraries for a mega software corp. The track I used Forrest's vocal noise on is still under NDA for this client and wont be released to the public for another few months or so.

Thanks! The rhythm isn't bad at all, it's the tempo for some of the leads I'm having trouble with. It also does't help that I don't a lot of stamina with my left hand (the one I use on the fret board), it gets tired after a bit but that will change as time goes on.

I also have played piano, violin, flute, oboe, guitar, bass, sax, marching french horn (fun!!!), and currently am trying to learn to play the banjo. That one has got to be the hardest!!!

Yay!!! I have a concert this weekend! Prokofiev Romeo & Juliet and Dvorak's Symphony 4. Dress rehearsal today!!!

Here's the video I mentioned up above. The sound is pretty weak; it was recorded on fairly inexpensive equipment.

The drummer is my friend Todd Mullins (he goes by T-Odd). Two of the guitarists are his brothers. This was a performance at our hot rod national club meeting in Mountain Home, TX, in 2005. The group occasionally performs as "The Mullins Brothers."

Todd plays down on Beale Street on a regular basis. He lived in CA for a while, and did session work out there; you can hear him on the Bangles' recording of "Walk Like an Egyptian." His brother playing lead guitar actually got a Grammy for some project he was involved in.

Texas Flood

From reading what was in the info section of the video, you can't tell that Todd and his brothers haven't played together in 16 years. They sound very good.You also can't go wrong with a little SRV.

jezmondo,

we dont even have electronic music parties in the US that even compare to the size of creamfields. The usa is all about pop and rock. you guys have so much better taste in music over there and electronic music is so out in the open. Here i mean they have some big club nites, but nothing like over there. and im so upset UK hardhouse never caught on in the states (lisalashes, anne savage,
nick sentience.....

Wow, haven't heard Dvorak 4 in a while... I've played 6 and 7 in the past year, but I can't even remember how 4 goes. Of course, I can't even remember how 6 goes, either...

I'm a professional (french) horn player. Doing Debussy's Nocturnes and de Falla's "Nights in the Gardens of Spain" this afternoon...

Ah! Love Nights in the Gardens of Spain. Of course Dvorak 4 is also known as the 8th, LOL - G major. Has kind of a major 2nd bassoon solo in the 4th movement!!! Went quite well. Hope yours did too!

PS, used to be married to a (french) horn player, LOL. So did DH.

I noticed an error up there about the video.

It was in Mountain Home, Arkansas, not Texas.

sounds great to me, you have to take into consideration that recordings like this obviously dont do it justice, but you can imagine how it would have sounded live, my only critism is that SRV just has to be played on a strat! but i do have a big epeiphone like that in white for bb king type stuff.

its interesting you saying that we have good taste in music in the uk, as they do say its the hardest place to get into for a foreign band, and its still hard even if this is your home country, whereas they do seem to say that th eusa is much easier to get into? i think the whole dance/electro/trance/garage thing over here is quite big, but i dont know how long it will last here, we are very faddy on that kind of stuff, garage was huge for maybe 18 months then now has gone underground, and the same with trance, although thats pretty mush died the death. proper guitar based music, live bands and stuff are growing in popularity here, the next beatles is only a short way off im sure????

Music is always kinda touchy for me, my dad is a professional guitarist and my playing and singing always gets criticized and I get furstrated and hurt ... I played piano and clarinet, clarinet in my high school band and as far as piano i have been taking lessons since 6 years old because my parents made me. I do love music though. I love all genres, genre is not my criteria of how good certain music is. My favorite band is queen, I love Freddie Mercury's voice.

Gibsons have a nice sound to them.

The only guitar I have right now is an Ibanez. There is a small "mom-and-pop" music store where I take my lessons that exclusively sells Schecter. I'm leaning towards getting one of those next.

Freddie Mercury has to be one of the greatest showmen in rock history.

The Schecter C-1 is one of the great bargains in guitars.
