Kassad's Blues

granitehead · August 2006

Here's a ditty I recorded this morning (after 2 cups of coffee) inspired by Fedman Kassad, a terrific blues player on YouTube. Boy, things are sure easier when you use backing tracks! I'm trying to get my Godin to sound like a strat on the neck pup through an over-driven Twin.

granitehead,
Sweet!! I realy dug it!! I realy like to try an emulate that strat tone alot as well with my JS1000 Engageing the coil taps. I just get some of the best bluesy tones that way out of my JS. Hey thanks for sharing that!! I enjoyed!!!

God Bless!!!

Sweet dude! Love the back trax,where did you get it? You've done a pretty good job of getting that Godin to sound like a strat too. IMHO, just a tone knob tweek away from getting that SRV tone, very cool 8)
Keep Rock'in P.G.

Thanks much for all the tone kudos, guys! I started with Mike's '68 Twin patch but goosed a bunch of stuff; gain and mid-freq on the lower amp, tweaked the left-hand cab tuning, added some chorusing, did some other stuff I don't remember now. I'd still like to get a little more thick, tubey punch out of it, so I'm still tweaking it, but it's not bad now, so I'll post it with a link... maybe you guys can tube-ify it some.
RE: The backing track: I got it straight from Fedman Kassad who got it from some site in Russia (which is down most of the time) I'll post it at the Digitech site when I get to my desktop machine.
Hey Bababoey, High praise from (IMO) the Blues-Master of the forum... thanks, man!

Hey guys,
So what tune is ever complete without at least two posts? I cleaned up some rough timing spots, fixed some pitch issues (my Godin always seems to float sharp after playing a while), and of course, I've been tweaking the patch for a slightly cleaner sound. Here's the cleaned up version...

Here's the patch in its current form:

And here's the backing track:

This is a great song to kick back and have a beer to. 8) Tasty blues playing and a great tone to boot. Very enjoyable.
