    Great take on a classic. The band is tight. The effects you're using are they staples of your pedalboard or just used for the song? I'm actually thinking about getting the Halo and the Gladio SC. Take care, Mike.

    • @popintothechemist
      @popintothechemist  Před rokem +1

      Thanks. I use all those effects throughout the set… the Halo is on a lot. The Cloudburst I turn on for spacier stuff like this. Gladio is killer!

    I, too, am a white boy Wes Montgomery wanna be. It's not so much the licks or the format of a jazzed up cover of a pop tune but the intervals which you let hang at the end of certain sparse phrases that create that Montgomery vibe and gives away your fanboy status plainly. I dig that, and it's inspiring to actually be able to detect another's influences like that because they are right there being worn on the sleeve. Sometimes you remind me of Scofield, not this time. You weren't really playing ''out'' here, more nuanced with quirky short deflections at the end of specific statements. That California Dreaming album from 1966 is now echoing in my head. Thanks for that and introduce your bassist and drummer to that album if you get a chance. I'm sure they'd dig it.
