Blues for Tal (By Tal Rules)

Tal Rules · March 2006

Got a video a while back featuring Charlie Byrd, Herb Ellis, and Tal Farlow..
Geez those cats could play... 8)
After being inspired watching these guys, thought I'd write a Jazz/Blues thing and try to perform it in the style of Tal Farlow...
Sheesh..
Who am I kidding..

.
Tal would've smoked on something like this...

Wish he was still around.

Tal,
Love to listen to your posts. Those hollow jazz guitars just sound sooo mellow. If I may ask do you use a click track when recording? I thought I heard you getting a little quick at one point. The reason I asked is I just was in a recording situation with our band and I was the only one that could play with the click track on time. We ended up having to wing it now it's a bear with the mix down. I'm just encouraging everyone to use some sort of timing in their recording. Timing is just as important as anything we do. Oh and thanks for giving my post a listen and taking the time to comment.

Thanks thatsasstrat... 8)

Nah, I don't use a metronome when I'm not using a drum track on my stuff.. Just record the backing track with the tone I want, then dial in the tone I want for the lead, and play..

Yeah time may suffer some in places...

Glad you enjoyed it.. 8)
I really have a hoot on these pieces.. 8)
I've had the GNX4 about a year and have yet to plug it into a computer..
I'm too afraid I'm going to get all hung up in recording and forget about the playing.

.

Thanks dude.. 8)

Very tasty! Smooth and warm. I enjoyed this very much. It's in my favorites along with some other stuff I've gotten here.

I get a kick out of old School..
I guess that's because I'm old enough now to qualify..

Tal Rules, I'm so glad you have decided to play guitar again. How long did you rest, twenty some years? I didn't ever hear you play so long ago, but it's a pleasure to hear you today. 8)

Again, Tal Rules, thanks for taking the time to share your music with us.

Tal Rules · March 2006

Thanks Mike.. 8)

Quit playing for 25 years..
It's been one year this month since I picked it up again and I'm just having a hoot doing something that I never thought that I could enjoy again..

Go figure

..

I'm glad you dig the tunes. 8) .
And Thx for the kind words.. 8) .

Curse you AL !!! ruined my April Fools....I was just getting started too! (\"roll down a MTN of broken glass\"...) LOL

<div style="displaynone">fiogf49gjkf0d</div>Hey Tal

Unfortunately, I have not had much time to play lately. Work has been extremely busy for me. I know I should get my priorities straight, but unfortunately, I think I would make more money working than I would playing. roll
Maybe I will get a chance to post something soon. Meanwhile, keep up the great playing. I always enjoy your music!

Later Tal
