Members Alecto Posted December 14, 2010 Author Members Posted December 14, 2010 Bump for the late-night crowd.
Members fretmonster Posted December 14, 2010 Members Posted December 14, 2010 You sir are a true professional and I'm impressed. Your arrangement was fabulous and was a true joy to listen to. Thank you for sharing that with us. And let me apologize for the apparent lack of interest in original recordings around here.

Members Alecto Posted December 15, 2010 Author Members Posted December 15, 2010 A final bump. And here's an older recording: we did a pseudo-Gypsy jazz take on God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen: http://openconcept.bandcamp.com/track/god-rest-ye-merry-gentlemen-instrumental
Members zantor9 Posted December 15, 2010 Members Posted December 15, 2010 Another bump for you. I love these instrumentals. why other members havent checked this thread out yet. Normally they're all up in your grill
Members Jkater Posted December 15, 2010 Members Posted December 15, 2010 Very interesting arrangement and well played. You two are tight like a good couple should be.
Members BeanoBoy Posted December 16, 2010 Members Posted December 16, 2010 Very tasty! Merry Christmas!
Members Alecto Posted December 16, 2010 Author Members Posted December 16, 2010 This is the wife and myself (wife on bass) backing up a singer-songwriter doing a Christmas-themed tune. A little rough, but he liked the first take so . . . http://openconcept.bandcamp.com/track/mistletoe Believe it or not, that's the MXR Zakk Wylde overdrive pedal between the Strat and the Blues Junior. Thanks for listening.
