"your own sweet way" recorded w/ a MIM Esquire...

mojocasterman · July 1st, 2006, 12:12 AM

I get that question a lot, in terms of how does an Esquire sound like. Got tired of it, recorded a tune. It's in position 1 for the "lead" - talk about using a big flippin' word for what that really is - and in position 2 for the rythm track. It's all first take, so don't expect the moon.

Warts and all, here it is: Linky

Oh yeah, it's recorded straight from my MicroCube into this sucker:

(Talk about owning gear I don't deserve...)

I suppose I should have a pic of the beast in question ;)

Very cool! I like the song and the solo was quite tasty.

I had two Esquires. Sold one this week, and the one I have left is a white blonde as well :) She's stock, and I love her dearly.

Forgive me for being pedantic, but I use a different chord sequence here:
(Dm)You go your (F)own (Bb)sweet (G)own (Bb)own sweet (Dm)way

TheSonicBlue · July 2nd, 2006, 10:07 AM

Oh, I thought this was the Wes Montgomery song...

Arby, you've got it wrong. You should play:

(Dm)You go your (F)own (A#)sweet (G)own (A#)own sweet (Dm)way

Hey Arby, it's ChickenPICKER!!!

Arby · July 2nd, 2006, 03:45 PM

Have you plucked any pheasants lately?

chickenpicker · July 3rd, 2006, 01:49 PM

I'd rather be a pheasant plucker than a pheasant plucker's son.

Try saying this as fast as you can, repeatedly.

So do I have to pay royalties if I load this into my iPod?

:)

Is the tab for this floating around someplace?

Great song!

Very cool! Thank you! I am home from work today. Woke up on monday feeling really sick. I´ve had a fever for days now. But now I can finally listen to all the wonderful music you share! This made me feel a bit better!

mojocasterman · August 31st, 2006, 11:53 AM

again, thanks for the kind words. No royalties due, except maybe to Mark Knopfler et al ;)

Wow, somehow I didn't see this at the time. You just made my day, JJ Cale is one of my musical heros... w/ Mark Knopfler, amazingly enough

Thanks!
