@nooms Ha,as it happens amigo,'Don't Fear' is a very fav riff of mine. Cool to be mentioned in the same context. Ta nooms.
@Paulski Thank you mister Newman.
@Movin Flavour Thanks Sandeep,glad ya liked it man.
@Bill Saunders Cheers back atcha Bill!
@Neil C Yo Neil. The lead sound is one I've used quite a bit just for driven lead passages. It's just a patch in Logic ProX called 'Arena'. It sounds quite horrible and fizzy on it's own,but seems to sit well in the mix.
The guitar is my homemade Strat with a big fat Telecaster pickup in the bridge position. It was wound by Rob DeStefano in New Jersey. His company is Cavalier pickups,a lot of bang for little buck,imo. I've always stayed away from bridge p/ups on Strats,because they can sound thin and weak,so fitting a Fat Lion and wiring the tone control to cover that position,made me a lot happier and the guitar more versatile.

Yo Ian,I hear you on the need to slow down with the drink. It's cool you can have a few and stop. That's my aim,I'd hate to be an evangelistic teetotaller bore! Glad you dig the song.
@pompeyjazz That brass ain't gonna polish itself boy!
Thanks for the kind comments John. I'm the same with listening habits now. Mainstream radio music has left me behind,for the most part. 'Tis the way of things.
I've just finished a song on the merits of the old pirate radio stations of yesteryear. Nostalgia city!
@PaulAds Wow Paul!
My missus says I'm a selfish bastard,my spirit of generosity has obviously escaped her notice. Maybe it's blattering on my guitar when she wants a room painted,wot did it!
@cowparsleyman Hey Rich. The guitars were just straight into the daw through a Focusrite,no amps or mics were defiled in this process! The patch I used on lead parts is mentioned in my reply to Neil up there ^
I'd love to be in a position where I could mic up my amp and use any of my pedals,but my situation demands My set up to be minimal,so I try to get the best from what I have 'in house'.
Doing vocals is a right pain. I must wait until I have the house to myself, (rare,these days) stick an SM58 on the table and quickly shout into it before anyone comes home and hears me!
