Really dig the chord progression on this
Hi first time posting, I’m more on the dead side of the jam guitar style but I just love this song. I flubbed some stuff but was just kinda messing around with different ways to play the backing part to this song and the first solo before they drop into that gnarly jam.
Haven’t played the Jerrycaster in a while. This is position 7 all three pickups and TWO blasters. I thought the tone was cool, not pure Jerry but fun.
I’m working on trying to compose improvised solos that sound like one coherent collection of phrases that tie into dropping back to rhythm playing seemlessly while also playing through my mistakes and getting back on the train when I f’ck up.
Going out of town but may take another swing at this.
Wow, so I’m at three years this month playing guitar. I feel like this intro and verse alone kinda forced me to tie a bunch of shit together and really challenges technique, touch, muting all that stuff. This song is fun as hell and I never realized how musically complex it is or I guess never paid attention.
I wanted to try to record this with no metronome or track as like a technical challenge. I know my timing slides in the verse finger pick, but I think I managed to regroup too. With the track or mix I don’t slip around the tempo as much lol

Here’s mine. Man They really stretched it out to jam their faces off on that hartford 77 recording. I meander a bunch and have a nasty case of the bends. Got to play with my phaser 95 tho. Have a good week yall
Chain=335>EQ>Blaster>SD-1 (set more like a tube screamer)>phase 95>dream 65 reverb amp>gate>speaker
About as good as it’s gettin from me on this one I feel.
Had some good ideas sprinkled in there.

But I did Peggy-o this morning in key of G and it didn’t sound like a dying cat. Have a good week yall.
Wife and I took a walk around Haight Ashbury the other day. Swung by a familiar house.
Played a loop in A and then was playing with my pedals, I thought a fuzzy Q-tron sounded fun. Rough take just noodling over my loop.
This was a tobacco burst squier bullet I “dead spec’d” off of Garcia’s Alligator. My first one
1.). Refinish: vintage neck stain and fretboard ebonized. All fretwork redone. Waterslide decals for the headstock. Rattle can paint thin poly finish.
2.). Headstock drilled for imperial tuners. Schaller M6 installed. String trees added (made a brass spacer for one out of a pipe I had). Brass nut added
3.) body screw holes repaired and re-drilled
4.) 6 point tremolo bridge with solid brass block and saddles (decked)
5.). Pick guards and knobs: custom brass plate and modified stock strat pick guard. Abalone vol knob and ebony tone knobs with maple inserts. Brass switch tip.
6.). electronics: fender vintage noiseless pickups, CTS pots (1k tone pots) 500meg vol pot (push/pull “Gilmour switch” to add bridge to mix). Alembic blaster circuit and jack. CRL 5 way switch. Historic push back style wires. Pickup Covers painted and sealed
Bridge pickup can be swapped with clips . I put a Seymour Duncan twang banger in there sometimes
7.). stealie car badge under the bridge and an alligator sticker on the back trem plate
Fun stuff hope y’all enjoy.
Caught on a 4 inch nameless white fly I tie with a deer hair head and rabbit tail and some flash. Cool eat. We posted up to throw to rising rainbows. They were small, and at one point this fish absolutely trucked a rainbow from below like one of those sharks on the discovery channel. Like we weren’t watching and heard this thing maul this 6-8 inch rainbow. I had that fly on a glass six rod with a 75 year old click pawl
And I think this fish ate on like the third cast from below just like he trashed that little trout before. Might not be a better sound than an old English click pawl
Getting ripped by a 26 inch fish as fat as a grown man’s calf. The first time I saw its head I thought it was a steelhead and my buddy in the bow thought it was a pike when it showed broadside. Don’t know if I’ll see one this big ever again.
I’m gonna try this one again but for the love of god can someone tell me what the hell that like rattling metallic buzzing shit is every once in a while?
This song grooves so effing hard
An excuse to mess with my pedals. There is definitely some technique to this Q tron I’m finding. I’ve resorted to picking with the corner of the pick with it close enough to my thumb to like simultaneously mute the attack some. Added compressor, helps, thanks to whoever suggested that.
