Hello folks...

Here is another original one from me - this time recorded with my really nice new Squier 70's Strat - all black, looks just like Hank's famous 80's one! Has Duncan pick ups and I have changed the trem block to cold rolled steel. Photo below if you are interested.... Very different from my usual strat - but really lovely clean tones...just on the edge...

This tune is a grower - I know it's a long one (soz ecca), but stick with it... there is a journey...

I hope you like it...

Best to all,

Tony

Hi Tony, 10 out of 10 for that one, I could picture Dave Gilmour playing this, btw I always enjoy your soundfiles. regards Gary

Hi Tony
I was thinking more of Jeff Beck with that trem pulling, swooping and sliding ( EccaFace will just love that!) and Mark K's "On The Waterfront" period of music.
What a brilliant sound - on the edge of "too much" but somehow just Spot On.
All the characteristic Tolo harmonic style is there and a few "signature" licks.
Absolutely brill, my friend.
On my studio speakers the clarity is stunning - just shows how good it can sound when the download is in High Def (nearly 14mb - wow!).
cheers

Fantastic Tony Brilliant playing and what a sound from that Squier, I dont care what anyone says about them being inferior guitars to Fenders, I think they are great instruments(I have two of them) for the money and would'nt be without them. I have also got Duncans on one of them but they sound great with the original pups too.
As said, it is very Dave Gilmour but also very Gary Moore in the use of the trem I think. You've obviously spent a lot of time and effort on that one and well worth it too mate
Would have been nice if you'd done a video like you usually do but brilliant nevertheless.

Hi Tony, If someone had told me this is a track of Gilmore's new album - I wouldn't have doubted it for a second. It's up there with the the sound, playing and production. Some great sound affects and a smashing composition. Loved it .. Phil

Wot they all said Tony.

Top of the class with this one - that is one fabulous track, incredibly atmospheric and you obviously know what you're doing with your studio gear.

Gotta go so I can listen again..........

Tony,

I'm really sorry but I'm going to have to use that word which has been hijacked and over-used by Americans......

AWESOME


As Phil said, very Gilmore-esk and superbly produced extremely well executed - and I know people have said it time and time again, but you really should be writing for film / television this really is exceptional.

Keep up the great work

cheers
Mark.

Mark - appreciate it.

Put it down to the guitars - we share the same Luthier...

Best,

Tony

Guitars are one element (does he complain about heavy strings to you??? I'm always getting told off for using 12's)

I think what you have is a unique talent for writing, producing and playing music - looking forward to the album !

cheers
mark.

No.... I am a good boy - I use 10's...

Thanks for the kind words though - appreciate it.
