Hi Steve, you've done a nice job with this one and very close to the original in sound and playing....I did miss some vibrato though on the note bend parts, which would have added to it It is said that Greeny had some work done on his LP and the magnets reversed by mistake, it is more likely that the wireing was reversed on one pickup which would make it out of phase. Some of the old recordings have that sound, I have done this with my LP and have got a sound not possible to get with the straight set-up. Phil

Thanks Steve, actually it was'nt a nightmare to do and was relatively easy compared to getting some of the Shads tunes spot on. It did take a lot of time though with playing over forty instruments one at a time x 2.

Hi all, Here's another collab with Charles who plays lead up until the last verse and does it excellently, but he's done it before ;D I play the last verse. Charles will have to tell you the gear he used. For my part, Eric Clapton CS Strat, Vox AC30H2, BFD2 Drums, Fender Jazz Bass, Yamaha acoustic, Martin acoustic played by my mate Gareth, Personal Orchestra, over forty instruments played. I used three grand Piano's at the end as the original. We hope you like it. Phil & Charles A DAY_2.mp3

Thanks Ade and Charlie.
Charlie.....woops! I did'nt check the file before posting and as you say, it's not mono, it's a narrow stereo version I did as an experiment, I have a mono one stashed somewhere and if I remember right with diffent guitar settings ie middle pickup as I think this file was Neck P but I could be wrong with that as I did quite a few takes with different pickup and amp settings, i'll try to find the right one
As for the "mono" sound, I have as I said the original mono 45 and also a digital stereo version. The speed of the digital version is slower, in fact by the end of the tune about three seconds.
The logical answer to this is because my mono version was played from a turntable, but if this was so then the pitch would be slightly out, but it's not.
Another thing that I have just checked out. The mix is not exactly the same when turning the stereo version to mono. The instruments sound slightly eq'd differently, also the strings part that I mentioned at 1.21 - 1.28, on the stereo version Hanks guitar is pretty much heard, on the mono it is getting over powered by the strings!
Gonna look for the mono version now ;D
Phil
I've just found the file, and noticed that the snare hits change on the second chorus, i'll post it when i've edited it, IMO the guitar is a lot better with this one.

Thanks Chris. I usually do a remix after a long period of not listening. Good observation with the strings, i've had another listen and they could be reduced by 2 or 3 db's at 1.21 to 1.28, there's not much in it as Hanks guitar has a hard time competing here anyway. I feel the guitar is ok, but that's not to say that I might do a re-record because when I did this I had literally just got back to the Shads stuff after 48 years also I had just taken delivery of my Vox and TVS3 so everything was a bit new I can now get closer still but it's all time and I have other projects in the pipeline!

Hi All, This is one I did some time ago. It's a copy of the original mono version that I have on vinyl. I used my Jan 63 Strat, 12's, TVS3 and Vox AC30H2. U87 mic, Focusright ISA 430 preamp, Mackie D8b desk and Mackie 24/96 HDR. It was recorded to sound close to the original with overdriven guitar and echo's and slight tape saturation. For the bt I used my Fender Jazz bass, orchestra was Personal Orchestra, rhythm guitar, my Strat again, and drums, BFD2. Hope you like Phil 01 Spring. (NEW)_2.mp3

Too many strings.....not enough fingers...for me anyway ;D Len, you're bringing back some old memories when you mentioned John McLaughlin, the Mahavishnu Orchestra What a band!!! Those guys were not from this planet, their timing was unbelievable, they would go off all bent for leather, improvising to tempo's that you could'nt even tap your foot to and then all come to a dead stop and start a new tempo. www.youtube.com/watch?v=MtSIEkPqVgkPhil

Thanks, I did'nt know that, I did know about Bruce's obsession with tuning though!.....so why did they change back to unlockable tuned Strats?

I could never understand why they changed to Burns in the first place, I guess it's the case of, do something different and update the image, it never worked for me.
