And here it is, I'd forgotten I'd played the last bit in harmonics.

Ah yes, I remember it very well. The way you play this song gives a certain melancholy pipe quality to the sound of your your guitar, which I like very much . . . and of course, the harmonics are something else !!! As for the BT, I remember you trying to get it it right with the characteristic wah-tremolo, especially in the intro, but also in other parts of the song. After several attempts you nailed it pretty well. All in all, a very expressive interpretation and an excellent BT !!

Cheers,
Boing.

Hi Ecca,
A smashing accurate to the original BT and played with lots of feeling.
Wish I had your BT when I did my recording..
Cheers Phil

Thanks Phil and Boing.
I gave the BT away when I did it, it's out there somewhere.
I used to give them all away but I got fed up of people using them without acknowledgement and even worse claiming them for their own like some tosser with a Spanish name on the Ozzie site did once.
If you want it I'll send it you.
Cheers
Ecca

Fantastic....tour de force Ecca... Great all the way through - but you particularly nailed it from 2.08 thru' to the end....some really lovely bends and swell....and great sustain on the final note...difficult on high register notes.

Super!

Yes like Bojan I recall the enquires into the guitar sound and you then put this together and it was indeed a great effort. I think the folks at the Shaddlers would like to hear it while we stuff ourselves on their cobs on Tuesday.

The Shaddlers? . . . Why am I not a member!?

[Bluesnote]

Loved that Ecca Great control of the bends and great interpretation.

As for the wah wah mention, was that not done with a flanger on the original?

[ecca]

Cheers all .
Boing- you are now an honorary member of the Shaddlers.
I will prepare a certificate.
Bread's original intro and wah wah effects were done by coupling the guitar into a Moog synthesiser using it's tone shaping circuits, VCF and VCO principally. I used a plug-in VST and recording automation within Adobe Audition. It took me quite a while to get it right.
The swell effects were violined as was the apparent infinite sustain note at the end combined with much finger waggling.
The guitar was Cakey through a little tichy Tonelab whatsit that was £19.
