Alright, I have played this week, and my fingers HURT lol. I haven't gotten even proficient to play simple stuff yet, so no new recordings.

THIS: https://www.pinterest.com/pin/705939310312018845/ is what I recorded into, and still have it, along with all the master tapes.

Back to the Archive! Before I learned about the band Tool I wrote this thing. Man I think it sounds a lot like their newer stuff lol. Pardon the mistakes, and sloppiness, this was recorded on a Crate GX-130C combo amp and using the Digitech Death Metal pedal back around 1995.

Then I have to throw this one atcha. It was with the same amp, and a digitech RP5 multi-effect thing. Around the same time did this track. I literally flipped the cassette over and recorded the "solo" backwards. <EDIT> I should note, I know this was in some fucked up tuning I made up at the time, and have ZERO clue how to play or re-create this sound or song.

I kinda regret not recording much of my earlier stuff - or not keeping copies of the many recordings made over the years.

I mean, I can recreate anything I ever did, but I won't.

And, it does sound a bit like Tool. Huh...

I have like 20 cassettes all completely filled with all those old recordings. I put about 75% into the PC about 5 years ago.

I have the odd track here and there, but only a little of it. I used to do studio work at least a half day per week, sometimes a few days. All that is gone. All the bands I was with, those are gone.

A part of me doesn't give a shit, but it'd be kinda neat to have some of that stuff.

Frankly, I'm a much better player now than I was back then. I'm far more practiced today than I've been at all in my life. So, there's nothing I couldn't recreate if needed. Well, except for the vast amount that has been completely forgotten.

I used to have a tascam 4 track cassette recorder that looked similar to that many years ago. I think I might have a tape or two laying around somewhere that is unplayable on anything else. LoL

Tool sounds cool, just a jamming away. I don't know if that sounds like a pedal steel or not LoL

I only know that name from the preset on the RP5. It was called that, then I modified it a ton, and came up with that monstrosity. I still personally like the sound, but don't know what to call it other than "trippy shit from the 90's"

That works! Hell you could claim it's from the 2020's nobody but you would know the difference!

The Tool one's beginning strongly reminds of a song but I just can't remember it right now. It's that power note that is really reminiscent. Damn, I'm like HAL in 2001 "I can feel it Dave, my mind is fading".

The second one is pretty trippy with the reversing. I like it.

Thanks. For the "tool" one I realized I borrowed that riff in another thing I posted like 8 months ago:

It's that one note in particular but I just can't place it. Sometimes it takes a while and I'll suddenly remember days later, I'll see if it does.

My Own Prison by Creed maybe.
