How I played in 2003 on U-92’s Morgantown Sound.

While I’m working up a big series of posts on virtual lessons I’ll offer on the site I thought I’d share a recording of my old band playing live for U-92’s Morgantown Sound.

I have a ton or live and studio stuff we’ve done in the past on my hard drive. This particular performance was recorded about 5 years ago. I wrote the song, “Forbidden Fruit Jam”, towards the end of my real woodshedding years. BONUS: It’s an instrumental so you won’t hear me trying to sing!
Listening to this is like taking a ride in a time machine. I was living with my band mates at this point in my life, probably still had a pony tail(a rock and roll requirement), and I probably had a mid-term the next morning. My guitar is panned hard left and my good friend Ez is blazing through the right speaker. You can hear I was having a problem with my input jack towards the middle of the song as I was always too cheap to replace them right away 
I dropped a few notes here and there but over all I’m still pretty happy with the way I was playing.(especially between 3:10 and 3:25)
The point to all of this is to encourage everyone to record themselves or their band as much as possible. It’s always nice to listen backwards once in a while, even if it occasionally makes you cringe!
That’s awesome stuff Chet! Nice… You’re right, it does give you a time machine kinda feeling, bunch of different themes. Sweet…

You know, listening to my old stuff puts things in perspective. I’d like to think I’m a little more tasteful of a player now, but I still heard some licks in there I’d like to relearn.
Glad you liked it IG!
