Got those old Sciatic Pain Blues

While toying around with the Variax I switched over the setting that allows you to play in Drop D (with a kind of Gibson something another body type). Dialed in a little distortion and such with the Logic Guitar Amp plug in and, bam, I've got some electric style blues stuff.

I double tracked the initial opening guitar part. Wait, I actually didn't do that. What I did was copy the file to another track and drag it down the timeline a wee bit. Needless to say, it sounds freaking massive. Probably a little too massive. But it's good and untamed -- which isn't a trait I normally associate with home computer recording.

The second part of the tune is a little less untamed. It features some drums courtesy of the Reason Drum Kits supplement. The setting is called "Meg" in tribute to the White Stripes drummer. No bass. Nothing extra. Just a big riff that sounds like it would be perfect over the top of some dude cruising down the highway in a GTO.

Fleetwood

Love/hate the hook to this. It might be too cheesy.
