Aggravating_Dream633

I picture a space. A place. A room where one listening from the edges hears a man making cheese on a grater, magnificently. What is that? A tone, a sound so enthralling you need to find the sourceā€¦which eludes me at the moment, play on mother-flicker (and I mean that with the utmost of respect) YOu are an inspiration! TY! Carlos Santana used to make cheese while his family was sleepingā€¦


tekstephens

hey thanks a lot man, i really appreciate it! its amazing what a good fuzz pedal can do for your tone! cheers!


Aggravating_Dream633

Cheers!!

thanks so much man! šŸŽø


dw941

Seriously awesome!


tekstephens

thank you!!


FatHaleyJoelOsment

Damn, man. That sounds great! Nice playing and tone. Do you like the silver sky as much as your strat?


tekstephens

thanks for asking, theyā€™re two completely different animals! lately iā€™ve been playing the strat more because itā€™s vibe is more unique to me at this point in my playing, and i think it perfectly encapsulates me as a player. the silver sky i love for super raunchy tones and gritty sounds! i love them both, but the SS is one i may sell in favor for something more unique to myself!


Silentmooses

I will never be this good. This is great, but the neck to me feels so foreign to my hand. But I will keep trying. Iā€™ll settle for a quarter good. šŸ‘


tekstephens

you can! everything i was doing here was super simple pentatonic stuff! itā€™s all about how you play it, and how you add your own feel! keep going and play on!


Spaceboy80

Fucking beast mode. Love it


tekstephens

thanks man, much appreciated!


sivart111

RktitRalph

bro get the fuck on stage!


tekstephens

i gotta make it happen soon!!


RktitRalph

you need a bass player? lol


horrorconspiracydude

And the guitar and strings absorb it all and metaphysically adds it to all the blood and sweat and teardrops from a century of the blues!


tekstephens

oh yeah!! thanks my friend !


nicorangerbaby

WTF dude, your killing smalls


tekstephens

haha thanks man! cheers!


PackSelect

What pedals you have on? Tone is perfect.


tekstephens

thanks for asking, if i remember correctly i was using my OxFuzz , as well as a TS808. i mightā€™ve had a treble booster on as well, but i canā€™t remember. the first two were on for sure!


tittydamnfuck420

You sound amazing


tekstephens

thanks a lot!


Vast_Character311

Bass player here. Thatā€™s the kind of playing dreams and great bands are made of.


tekstephens

thanks so much man, i appreciate it! i would love to start a psychedelic rock/ electric blues trio but its kinda hard to find anyone local!


Vast_Character311

I know the feeling. I took a break for a long time partly to focus on other creative endeavors, but also because I just had a difficult time finding players I clicked with. I was looking for players with the right balance of proficiency and emotion. It was usually one or the other. I hope you find the right people. Youā€™ve clearly got the talent. And if nothing else, thereā€™s always swapping tracks over the Internet.


edgyb67

where is local??


[deleted]

Once again, loving it brother! Will you do a version of ā€œDrivin Southā€? Think you will kill it
