Members scottjonesmusic Posted February 20, 2015 Members Share Posted February 20, 2015 Hey friends, (for those asking, "friends? who the hell is this guy?"...I was here for years, racked up thousands of posts and when I finally returned, had to re register. Some may still remember me.) Anyway, I started with hand issues a decade ago, but this past year, had a truly devastating issue that caused me to have to stop playing altogether until this month, when I finally felt able to play again. After months of intense physical therapy, steroid injections into my cervical spine, steroid patches to my hand and very slowly building my playing back up, I have some success in getting back to playing. I wanted to share some tracks of mine that are essentially older compositions of mine (released on my last release), but with all new guitar parts and solos. With the issues I was having, I had to buy a lighter weight, easier playing guitar, which wound up being a Carvin Holdsworth HH2X. The impetus to do these came from my buddy Cirque du Soleil drummer, Andre Boyd, who wanted to use them in his drum clinics, so I'm refreshing them a bit. Of course, he will be using the tracks, fully mixed, minus drums and adding his own madness, live, in his clinics. But these are my sessions prior to his involvement, for now. The first four tracks in this set are the ones to which I'm referring. Hope ya dig! Peace, Scott Link below. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members onelife Posted February 22, 2015 Members Share Posted February 22, 2015 Having experienced some hand issues myself I can imagine the frustration you must have felt not being able to play at the level you demonstrated on those recordings. btw, do you know of Vancouver guitarist Paul Pigat?

And yes, it's been a truly frustrating year, but since I was patient and did everything the docs told me, I feel I am well over the hard part and back on track. Thanks for listening, man. Truly truly appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members badpenguin Posted February 25, 2015 Members Share Posted February 25, 2015 Congrats on healing up, and welcome back to the land of the playing! Personally, hated the track that the link went to, since the guitar sounded very muddy, and under produced. Listened to Mulders Search, and LOVED the tone!

Members DeepEnd Posted February 26, 2015 Members Share Posted February 26, 2015 Glad to hear you're playing again. You've got chops to spare. I'm nowhere near your league but it would suck if I couldn't play. Then again, some folks say I can't play already. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry you hated it, based on the mix. But I did, based on your comment, go back and tweak it. That was a quick mix I did last week and got too busy to even check it or revisit. So, your observations made a difference! Thanks! Glad you dug Mulder, out of the gate. I had more time with that prior to uploading. Thanks again!
