OK - I've posted one. This is the first song on which I've used the GNX4 for the guitar tones. Its based on a Delta Blues lick.

Nice blues vibe there philflood! I love the idea of just using bongo's for the percussion - cool idea 8) . Well done!

All - Thanks for the kind words.

WOGS - the Delta Blues lick is the Eminor thing that plays throughout the song. Its basically open e-minor, and pounding on the G:

insideout - I can't take full credit for the bongos idea. That is how my band normally plays. My son plays congas and bongos, and we don't have a regular drum kit. You can check out more at our band's page: www.myspace.com/rwi

Thanks Partch! - The squeal is the expression pedal set to Whammy, and, as I recall, 1 octave up. So, just playing a basic pentatonic based solo, and activating the Whammy at various times with the rhythm, I am able to get that squealing up sound. The Whammy is pretty much standard equipment is most metal player rigs these days, but I though it would be fun to use it in Blues/Boogie environment - I :shock: like to shake things up a little bit.
