Lazy Day - Jazz - Mothers Milk

[Sekhmet]

Haven't posted in a while.

Well i've been messing around with different styles of music lately, trying to add more melody and interesting ideas into my playing. So i decided after a hard days work i'd finally do something with this jazzy riff i'd had nocking about :-P.

It's basically two riffs in different keys with an improvised solo over the top, i tried not to thing of scale shapes and more about resolving on strong notes and keeping a theme.

Really love the sound of Mothers Milk for clean stuff, they've got such an acoustic feel to them.

All the rythm and lead work was done on the neck pick up on a jap strat, hope you enjoy it.

The tones are nice. It sounds too random, you need to get into a groove playing stuff like that.

must admit it sounds way too random even for jazz, sounds like you are picking wayyyy to hard as well wheres the dynamics? weird

It kind of reminds me of Zappa's tone and playing in the 80s, and for that it gets a thumbs up from me.

really like this tone and some really cool chords in there, it's similar to the 80s zappa tone. But I know a secret, zappa got such a nice tone by making his guitar electronics 18dB louder than a normal guitar, without altering the pickups, making them vintage sweet tone as a high output. That's how he got controllable feedback! I like the brightness and clarity of this clip ; D

Care to elaborate on that, 18dB's is a massive increase in output!

must've had an on-board preamp for that kind of boost.  wouldn't surprise me - it was all the rage way back when.

Cheers for the comments, i love playing that strat it's so versatile.

I haven't looked at much Jazz recently, bar trying to play outside the scale on some runs.

what's there to elaborate on? he didnt use a boost or anything, it was actually built into the guitar's internal electronics. It's a huge difference in volume to normal, and this just shows how clever Frank Zappa really was. It's unique.
