Father O's awesome backer challenge!

[Viscolex]

here is mine,

i have no time to this after today till about sunday,so without wasting time, i did this

for fun anyway :)

[zeusse]

Ok here's mine I'm kinda short on ideas so this is all I can come up with I'm not the best with funk but its a fun track.

[bigdoug]

very funkadelic well done guys

[Father O Blivion]

Here's my little attempt at this...

Top banana...

[bigdoug]

great stuff father O, is this going to a vote?

[Father O Blivion]

It is indeed mate, we're just waiting for 2 more dudes to post their tracks and Rick will set up the vote options...

Thanks for checking us out by the way. lol...

[Viscolex]

hell, nice flowing melody there o blivion, and sweet tone, brilliant chops... awesome


and zeusse, very funky :D sweet! great flow too, never fail to impress

[Father O Blivion]

Thanks Viscolex, like i said in the other thread, i kind of dug your Syd Barret meets Clapton vibe you had going on. The one section you had sounded like an old 70's stylophone, well interesting...

[Father O Blivion]

Cool track zeusse, really like that wah thing you've got going on and the melody with the cascading harmony going against it. Nice...

[Rick_Lamoreaux]

Here's my take - hope you all like it. I made the guitar a little dirtier than I usually do for this type of jam, but I thought it added a little extra dimension to the sound. I added some vocals (:huh: ) to it. These are the lyrics:

------------------------------------
I've got my muse
with 6stringheaven blues

I've got my muse
with 6stringheaven blues

You can count on getting challenged
the jams are on the loose

Don't let it fall
away from that front bar

You can hear the call
right from your guitar

Just look straight into the mirror
you'll see a shooting star


I've got my muse
with 6stringheaven blues

You can count on getting challenged
the jams are on the loose
------------------------------------

I thought I might put a little local twist into it :-P


Here's my take:
3918

I hope you all like it :mrgreen:

I'm going to listen to everyone's take now...

[Father O Blivion]

That's pretty damn cool is that mate, sounds very Jeff Healey meets early garry more. Very cool...

[Rick_Lamoreaux]

Oh yeh man that was so funky I loved those funky lyrics did you have your stacked shoes and green socks on for that that rocked man !!!

[Rick_Lamoreaux]

Cheers, John :zeusse: Glad you liked it :mrgreen:

[Rick]

Ok poll is open, get voting!
14 days and its a public poll so we can see who's voted for who if you get my drift!


anyway VOTE!!!!!!

[Rick_Lamoreaux]

My vote goes to Father O.

[ZappaFan]

Damn, that was quick, I was still working on a version myself :-(

[zeusse]

My vote goes to you Rick it was just too Shmoozy with the singing which I will say is most impressive you should sing more dude. Father O had great articulation on his riffs and if you didn't add the singing Rick I would have gone with Father O ....it was a close call..but you know me I always go for the originality and whacky factor..:lol:

[ZappaFan]

Gotta be a vote for the complete package.

[Father O Blivion]

I'm gonna have to go with Rick me thinks, the package was just pretty cool. Nice playing and a cool blues voice...

[Rick_Lamoreaux]

I try to be as wacky as possible, lol.

The guitar would have probably been a lot different If I didn't add the vocals, but I couldn't see any other way to do it at the time.

Thanks for the votes guys!

Thanks for the votes guys!Good man Rick I wouldn't want you to be any other way:woot:

[Rick_Lamoreaux]

Good man Rick I wouldn't want you to be any other way:woot:

lol - you are too kind, bro :grin: The pleasure has always been mine, though.
It's always been a blast here, man :mrgreen:

[Rick]

very nice!

btw i reopened the poll, for some reason only known to pixies it closed after a week or so.

[ZappaFan]

peskie pixies


get voting chaps

[chris beaver]

some great variations between the versions here, for me the father wins it hands down as its more up my alley though everyone elses was cool as well, did you know the closest father has ever been to a man of the cloth is when he touches cloth

[Father O Blivion]

I resent that Mr Guitar, i'll have you know i've spent many an hour knelt in front of a priest...

"Did i say that out loud?"...
:grin: :grin: :grin: :grin: :grin:

that must be why you always have a sore throat:hehehe:

[Father O Blivion]

That's right, them catholic priests do like it rough...
:shock:

[Rick_Lamoreaux]

Only ten voters? I know we have at least 34 regulars here... :eh:

[Father O Blivion]

I guess that's the problem with open polls, some people don't want it known which way they vote. It's no biggy though, twas only a little fun 'n' ting... It's all top bananary type banana's... That are top... And banana's... :thumb:

[Rick_Lamoreaux]

Yeah, but where's the ice cream, whipped cream, Cherry, and nuts - lol?

[Father O Blivion]

Yeah, but where's the ice cream, whipped cream, Cherry, and nuts - lol?

That's what i'd like to know damn it. WHERE AM THEM GOODIES!... :mad:

[Father O Blivion]

Lol. I've just remembered this. Well done on this one Rick, twas most fun. Cheers for all who had a bash...

[Viscolex]

yep, well done rick

[zeusse]

Congrats Rick job well done:thumb:

[Rick_Lamoreaux]

I just noticed that the poll is closed. Still trying to shake the cobwebs outta my head, though. This past weekend was a rough one for me. On to working on Zombo's May challenge, if I have the energy for it, lol.

T'was fun - Cheers, guys!
