Dave Houck's project - new recording

[David Houck]

Thanks Musashi, much appreciated.  I guess I need to work on the rig noise  

[klinkepeter]

fantastic, Dave! i loved every single note, did you use a 5 string with a c on top? Is there a way to avoid that noise in the background? My series II does it sometimes too but in the studio she is almost clean..., but once again: great playin!

[klinkepeter]

Man, this tone....awesome, and so clean- u?ve got ur fingers under control

Dave,  
 
       Your music is always very enjoyable for me to hear. I am impressed by your focus and mindful delivery . It sounds like your fingers are serving your mind well. Thanks for sharing this.

[David Houck]

Thanks Peter!  It's a six string, tuned normally except that the B string is capo'd at the third fret for an open D.
 
I don't know where the noise is coming from.  I suspect grounding or maybe a bad patch cable; I don't know.  I need to see if I can isolate it by starting through the signal chain, removing components and switching out cables.

[David Houck]

Thanks Wolf!  I'm really glad that you guys like these tunes.

Realizing that I'm forgetting a lot of the stuff I've been working on, I've recently been recording a lot of the songs even if I can't play them well yet.  This morning I sat down to record a cover I've been playing for a while, though not much recently, before I forgot about it too.  It turned out good enough to share with you; though the usual flubs and fluffs are included, and I haven't yet addressed the rig noise.
 
Some of you will recognize the name, it's by a well known rock artist.  The original is beautiful.  My arrangement significantly differs from the original; including that I leave out an entire section and substitute my own in its place.
 
The dynamic range seems a bit too wide; my rig is running a bit hotter than I've had it on past recordings, and sections seem a bit too loud.  I like the way that it's now breaking up when it's driven, but I need to learn to control it.
 
And as with the past recordings, it's a rough demo and is not publicly accessible.  Wild Theme.

Great piece! I always love listening to your music, the composition, execution and sounds are always a joy. The tone has a reminiscence of the original, as well, but it's all new enough that it's its own thing.
 
Thanks for putting it up!

[David Houck]

Thanks Edwin; I'm glad you like it!  And I appreciate the kind words.

Very nice Dave!

[David Houck]

Thanks Art!

Very nice indeed! and well played, oh Moder Dave.
Based on the thread title, I was thinking maybe Wild Thyme from ABAB by the Airplane. Obviously a wild guess on my part.
No more divergences from me here, but if the Highway of Life takes you to the Schlossen Cutoff - Stay In Your Car!

Very tasty!  Thanks for sharing, Dave.
 
Bill, tgo

[David Houck]

Thanks Mike and Bill!  And no, not Airplane.

[David Houck]

Well this is embarrassing, or perhaps just a side effect of aging.  I uploaded the wrong song last time.
 
So here is the tune I meant to upload previously - Wild Theme.
 
My apologies for any confusion; and I'll understand if you don't want me behind the wheel when we go into town for dinner.
