[quote author=Garth S link=action=profile;u=48 date=1242628054] Here's my entry. I had a rush of creativity after watching SRV live at the El Mocambo on DVD. http://gfsa.s3.amazonaws.com/48/Laid%20Back%20HendrixSRV%20idea.mp3 [/quote] [quote author=Spyke link=action=profile;u=71 date=1242718298] Here's my entry for the Umbrella Cocktail Challenge. http://www.box.net/shared/etse7mojnj Two tracks only, kept it nice and simple. Drew on inspiration from Israel Kamakawiwo'ole and have now found myself lusting after a uke... :P Main: Squier Strat Capo on 5th, bridge pup, acoustic sim on the 505II Harmony: Squier Strat Capo on 5th, neck pup, acoustic sim on the 505II Recorded on Audacity Oddly enough, the Squier had a more acoustic sounding sound than the Yamaha FX310 DI'd. [/quote] [quote author=CDee link=action=profile;u=382 date=1242723790] Here's my entry. I really struggled to get inspiration for this one and just ended up noodeling a bit. So if it's not spot on the theme... sorry :-[ 3 tracks, 2 guitar and 1 drums. http://www.box.net/shared/7m7bz67bh2 [/quote] [quote author=mattayou link=action=profile;u=581 date=1242756958] Hi! This is my first shot at this so here goes! Here is the link to my entry http://gfsa.s3.amazonaws.com/581/Umbrella%20Cocktail_mixdown03.mp3 This is the style of music I feel would be condusive to lying back in a hammock & sipping on Pina Colada's! I used The following: Drums (Zoom B1X) Rhythm (Ibanez SA08LTD) Lead (Ibanez SA08LTD) Bass (Ibanez GSR180BK) [/quote] [quote author=Squonk link=action=profile;u=298 date=1242768862] http://gfsa.s3.amazonaws.com/298/Squonk%20-%20Umbrellas%20for%20Leah.mp3 Tried my best not to be jazzy Track one - Takamine tuned DADGAD - little picking piece Track two - Takamine tuned DADGAD - strumming Track three - Peavey T-60 standard tuning - bad attempt at Wes Montgomery type lead [/quote] [quote author=Alan Ratcliffe link=action=profile;u=10 date=1242793962] Stayed away from the Lounge Jazz for this and rather went for a mellow jazzy blues. Drums bass and two guitars. With only four instruments it was a tough call whether to have an electric guitar or a Rhodes piano for the rhythm instrument.

Alan Ratcliffe wrote People have been killed for less...

I'm reminded of Bobby Gaylor's 'Suicide'...

On the topic of offing yourself he says / sings:

No more church... You'll be saying, "Hey, World - Kiss My Ass!"... No more wet dreams about Supermodels... No more Barry Manilow... For a few years anyway...
