Thanks Musashi, much appreciated.  I guess I need to work on the rig noise

fantastic, Dave! i loved every single note, did you use a 5 string with a c on top? Is there a way to avoid that noise in the background? My series II does it sometimes too but in the studio she is almost clean..., but once again: great playin!

Dave,  
 
       Your music is always very enjoyable for me to hear. I am impressed by your focus and mindful delivery . It sounds like your fingers are serving your mind well. Thanks for sharing this.

David Houck

Thanks Peter!  It's a six string, tuned normally except that the B string is capo'd at the third fret for an open D.
 
I don't know where the noise is coming from.  I suspect grounding or maybe a bad patch cable; I don't know.  I need to see if I can isolate it by starting through the signal chain, removing components and switching out cables.

David Houck

Thanks Wolf!  I'm really glad that you guys like these tunes.

Realizing that I'm forgetting a lot of the stuff I've been working on, I've recently been recording a lot of the songs even if I can't play them well yet.  This morning I sat down to record a cover I've been playing for a while, though not much recently, before I forgot about it too.  It turned out good enough to share with you; though the usual flubs and fluffs are included, and I haven't yet addressed the rig noise.
 
Some of you will recognize the name, it's by a well known rock artist.  The original is beautiful.  My arrangement significantly differs from the original; including that I leave out an entire section and substitute my own in its place.
 
The dynamic range seems a bit too wide; my rig is running a bit hotter than I've had it on past recordings, and sections seem a bit too loud.  I like the way that it's now breaking up when it's driven, but I need to learn to control it.
 
And as with the past recordings, it's a rough demo and is not publicly accessible.  Wild Theme.

Great piece! I always love listening to your music, the composition, execution and sounds are always a joy. The tone has a reminiscence of the original, as well, but it's all new enough that it's its own thing.
 
Thanks for putting it up!

David Houck

Thanks Edwin; I'm glad you like it!  And I appreciate the kind words.

Very nice indeed! and well played, oh Moder Dave.
Based on the thread title, I was thinking maybe Wild Thyme from ABAB by the Airplane. Obviously a wild guess on my part.
No more divergences from me here, but if the Highway of Life takes you to the Schlossen Cutoff - Stay In Your Car!

Very tasty!  Thanks for sharing, Dave.
 
Bill, tgo

David Houck

Thanks Mike and Bill!  And no, not Airplane.

Well this is embarrassing, or perhaps just a side effect of aging.  I uploaded the wrong song last time.
 
So here is the tune I meant to upload previously - Wild Theme.
 
My apologies for any confusion; and I'll understand if you don't want me behind the wheel when we go into town for dinner.
