Well, welcome to my pedals. Some of them. Read on, there's more about that later...

As a musician, I'm surprised that I don't get this more often.
MOOSICIAN: "Hey lemme play you a song, what you wanna hear?"
PERSON B: "I dunno. Can you play FAR FAR AWAY??" *slaps knee*

Ok so, thats an old one. This part of the series is called 'Far Away' because it was recorded at a TOP SECRET location that has extremely far sounding wet acoustics.

Again, I hadn't played this song in quite a while before I did this, which is why I decided to use this recording...because I make plenty of mistakes!! Also, I went to see Popa Chubby live at Mexicali on Friday right after I recorded this. Oh, I got a picture with him, too. He has probably shaped my guitar playing more than anyone else, who wasn't a direct teacher of mine.

I used to gauge how well I was doing at my guitar lessons by seeing him at this same venue every single year and seeing how much I can follow.

Truth. In. Advertising.

GEAR: If there is enough interest, I'll do a full write up on my set up at some point.
This was played on my 1998 Jumbo-sized Yamaha. The doctor told me (sorry, the guitar repair guy) that he only had a few years left before he has to be put out to pasture. That was 3 years ago and he's still goin' strong!! It doesn't help that it's going Into the words crappiest amp that's 'vintage' only because it's sucked for a LONG TIME.
