BluesKing777 Posted September 5, 2016 Share Posted September 5, 2016 1967! Kaftans, Patchouli Oil, which I thought was hooch until a few years later,..... Summer of Love and everything was happy except maybe for the skinny pencil neck Gibson J45s and plastic bridges ....and possible launch of the odd nuke or 50..... My acoustic/vocal version of the Stones' Ruby Tuesday played on my Gibson J45 using my Boss VE-8 vocal gadget, plus I mic'd the guitar as well as plugged. Ruby had some good advice, I thought.... https://soundcloud.com/bk7-3/rubytuesday777b BluesKing777. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MissouriPicker Posted September 5, 2016 Share Posted September 5, 2016 Damn, you killed it, Blues. That is so nicely done and easy-to-listen-to (and your guitar playing is "top notch"). I like this song done in this manner. It's quieter than The Stones version and I think that makes it very serious and somber. Really enjoyed it.

kelly campbell Posted September 5, 2016 Share Posted September 5, 2016 Good stuff again nice job blues777 I always liked this song back in the day and I remember when I saw the Stones in 1978 I was disappointed they did not do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BluesKing777 Posted September 5, 2016 Author Share Posted September 5, 2016 Thanks, glad some liked it! I have been torturing the poor song in various ways for a while now, but capoing up a fret has brought a few things together. Couple of clunkers from brain fade but quite a lot going on with fingerpicking while singing! The story of the song is very interesting - some stories say it is about a groupie, another from Keef that it is about Linda Keith, another from Maryanne Faithful that she heard Brian Jones writing the first version.....about her?

dReit1 Posted September 6, 2016 Share Posted September 6, 2016 Great job BK777. Haven't listened to that song in years and you did a fine job of reminding me of what a great band TRS was way back then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BluesKing777 Posted September 6, 2016 Author Share Posted September 6, 2016 Thanks DReit1! I have had the dreaded virus with the COUGH and have really missed troiking around with the Boss gadget. A few lines about the Boss VE-8.....used in the track above...recorded straight to my mixer and to iMac with no added effects. At great expense to the management, I copied the photo of the unit for illustrative purposes to Photobucket which I think may hate me a bit. Really slow. Anyway, I am really enjoying using the gadget and looking at the pic can tell you why mainly. To the right top is a level control for guitar and another for vocal....simple really but another brand uses software to set both these in say 28 'units' of something they don't tell us with 23 'units' of something else.... It is a preamp for the acoustic guitar as well - top left of pic shows the 'resonance' knob for adding some acoustic realism...maybe.... to remove quack of u/s pickup. Also some reverb and other effects, plus the notch filter for anti-feedback. In the middle, the vocal setting has the 'enhance' knob, which is a setting that gives you some vocal oriented EQ and compression to bring the voice right 'forward'. And the effects. I haven't tried the looper yet. But for a nice little preamp/DI box to have your guitar and vocal sound mixed to the level you practice at, plus effects, can't be beat really! BluesKing777.

Can I put in a request for Dire Straits..Romeo and Juliet in open G.I was mucking around with it and thought..bet BK would do this well.Has nice picking and a vocal that suits your style. Thanks FB! Here is a short snippet of a fully tortured version in Eb from Chordie.com played on my Martin OM18 Authentic, which I knocked out of tune as starting - I did know it better a long while ago. I got asked to play it solo at a wedding and the girl wanted to marry me instead after I truly murdered it! He who has the most guitars wins - he who has the most tunes lined up mentally for requests wins the girls And apologies to Mr K, who I saw play this live once - true magic.

Cougar Posted September 8, 2016 Share Posted September 8, 2016 ...but capoing up a fret has brought a few things together. Another good one, BK. I think your vocals could manage another fret or two up on the capo. And since I'm chordally oriented, I'd like to hear another chord in there on "when you change with every new day."
