Lovely @Al1885 sitting here with a coffee enjoying that a lot. I had that album on vinyl when it came out. I should revisit it i think. It probably holds up.

Thanks! It’s actually a repost from before, I did this one earlier this year.

@Al1885 you play too damn good (and smoooooooth)
But can you play this good without the hat? lolol

Which tapes are you using?
D’Addario or LaBella?

Thanks @John_E

Both. La Belle on the Fender and D’Addario on the other 2.

Oh the hat, lol. I wear hat all day so my hat hair is nice and flat, lol. I’ll do the spikes next.

You know I have my “mixed tape” on a minidisc I was listening to that and a few more fun songs. There are more fretless played than I remember, lol.

Another 50 song challenge tune - this seemingly easier tune and Flea bassline…ain’t.
Took me a long time to get this one.
Fun to play though.
All bridge pickup on this one, a little bass boost, a little treble drop.

nice job John! That sounds really good. I’ve never been able to get all the changes right with that one.

I’ve told you in the past, there’s nothing wrong with your voice for that genre. Don’t be so hard on yourself.

Totally OK with Pam. Actually I think that your voice, @howard , fits really well the musical style you’re playing. Perfectly fine to me.

Nailed it! @John_E It’s tough to get the intensity up when it’s not a live situation even on a punk ballad.

That tone is money.

Thanks! I toiled with the tone for a long time. It was worth it though.

Great everything @John_E . Perfect tone with perfect execution.

I have to ask…… are you on a bit of a fitness binge? You look leaner and younger recently?
