Title: Too Pretty - (Stonehead/Snowdog)
Post by: Stoney on June 26, 2011, 01:42:19 PM
This was a really quick little project and Mike has put another stunning guitar solo together for this one ... Where does he get them from.
I had a great excuse to break out my new bass .... it even came with a spare string already attached ... very odd  ::)
Anyway I hope you like it ... It's about as close to a 3 minute track as you can get  ;D ;D

Ian Burrage - Other stuff

Too Pretty - I Burrage 2011

V1
You found me sitting in my easy chair
I've things to do but I just don't care
Thinking about the things you do
You're pretty
So pretty
The day's too long the night is too
You're Pretty
So Pretty
A crueler beauty you will not find
You're pretty
Too pretty
You're so mean but
I....DON'T....MIND

V2
I could not leave you I wouldn't dare
I've seen your fiery side your blood red hair
I hear about the things you do
You're Pretty
So Pretty
I wonder just how much is true
You're Pretty
So Pretty
I couldn't run but I wont try
You're Pretty
Too Pretty
You're so mean but
I....DON'T ....MIND

V3
I'm thinking about you nearly all the time
I will forgive you now for all your crimes
I guess I like the things you do
You're Pretty
So Pretty
If you stay then I will too
You're Pretty
So Pretty
You're my favorite waste of time
You're Pretty
Too Pretty
You lie and cheat but
I....DON'T....MIND

Haha Thanks Mike you were fantastic as always ..... That spare string is great ... It's even thicker than the others so it should last for ages  :D

Cheers Ian

I like this,the Rhythm guitars remind me of that carlos alomar & earl slick sound on the bowie song fame,& the solo is "smokin" in an understated way.

For some reason, whenever Mike and Ian (mostly Ian ;D) get together, I have thoughts of the Beatles and Timothy Leary. :D :D ;D ;D

It's almost frightening to picture the inner workings of Ian's brain :o
But then again... it may look similar to mine, which resembles a hamster on a treadmill. ;) ;D

Great stuff guys!! 8) 8)

Hahaha thanks John


..... There really is nothing much happening in my head ... I hear the occasional creak and bump and something rattles when I go around corners ......

Glad you liked it  ;D ;D

Ian, Mike
Another great one from the dynamic duo!!!

Super write, performance and mix.

The guitar playing melts wax, and Ian your bass playing is top notch. What bass make did you buy?

The sound delightfully rock-funk, a new direction Stoney?

I-podded!

Great stuff!
Andy

Haha many thanks Andy ... You should know I never have a direction and I am perpetually lost  ;D ;D

You are very kind  about my bass playing ...; an ego boost indeed for an old tub thumper  ;D ;D

I had to retire my old faithful Westone Concord from recording duties which has started to develop a slight neck twist and after doing a bit of reading and some pennies for my Birthday I went for the Yamaha BB615 with active electrics and I have to say it feels great ... The action is a little high out of the box but the range of tones is impressive.

All fun stuff with new toys

Woh Stoney,

That bass sure looks good  :)

Ive got an active Yamaha RBX 774...and I have been using that a lot lately in songs.
Cheers

Hmmm ... there is nothing on the right channel here.

But I really like what's on the left channel! :)

Hi Steffen
That's very odd ... I just downloaded the mp3 and it is behaving ok for me ... was it the ape you had a problem with ????

That's cool Andy I really like the life in the active eq on the Yamaha's... It might be the nice new RW strings too  :)

I downloaded the mp3. I'm downloading it again now ...

... still nothing on the right channel here. All other mp3 files play ok.

Just examined it. It's a mono file!
Title: Re: Too Pretty - (Stonehead/Snowdog)
Post by: Stoney on July 08, 2011, 03:59:20 PM
hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahah....... I have just been listening to it and I didn't pick that up at all .... I had been messing with the channels on mix down and exported stereo to mono ..... I will replace it tomorrow but in actual fact in a way I'm really pleased with how good it still sounds in mono .... Doh!!!!!

Thanks for noticing Steffen

Ian  ;D ;D
Title: Re: Too Pretty - (Stonehead/Snowdog)
Post by: stoman on July 08, 2011, 04:05:58 PM
Indeed, Ian, it does sound good in mono.

I have just been listening to a couple of old (1968 - 1970) Italian songs from the Sanremo festival, and the sound fit perfectly with the other songs.

I would not have noticed anything wrong at all if the player wouldn't play mono files on one speaker only. :D

Regards,
  Steffen

Title: Re: Too Pretty - (Stonehead/Snowdog)
Post by: Stoney on July 09, 2011, 08:32:50 AM
Thanks Steffen

Really glad you noticed .... Both files have now been changed for stereo versions

Sorry Mike .. your Ape is likely to be a mono as well

Cheers Ian
