Tele Tuesday - What's short, purple and wet?

▶️ Watch on 3Speak


I do not claim to have to talents of a certain multi-instrumentalist, but I have played this song at a lot of pub sessions. I just never really tried to solo on it before.

I figured out that major pentatonic works pretty well, so I set up a loop to back me up. I thought I would do the whole song, but my microphone is a bit quiet. You can skip to the solo three minutes in. I got lost on my pedals a bit on the transition.

It is just a little fun to amuse myself and I was overdue for a #TeleTuesday post. The Purple One did play a Telecaster, but his was not a Fender either. I am not mentioning his name as I know he used to try and take down unauthorised videos. Maybe his legal team still do that, but 3speak may be beyond their reach.

I am playing my Benford custom Telecaster through a Zoom G3X with EHX Soul Food boost on the solo.

Rock on!

I listen to a guitar podcast called 'Sharpen that Axe' where they did a whole episode on Prince and his guitaring. They said that since he passed away a lot more of his content is making it's way onto YouTube and other platforms and not being taken down. Nice job btw!

Cheers. I did once have a 'strike' on Youtube for a cover of a Supertramp song. Not that I was making anything from it. It seems to be pretty random as there have been whole albums posted there without permission. Depends on how active their lawyers are.

!BEER

I don't understand how all that really works. I would have thought that if there is a copyright claim on a YouTube clip (as there is on most of mine) any money to be made would go back to the artist that made the claim. The fact that someone is learning, playing and sharing the song would be a good thing.

I think you can lose any potential income on a video, but I never made a cent there anyway. Strikes are more serious as they can shut down your account after 3 (I think). That put me off putting covers on Youtube. I get more engagement via Hive/3speak anyway. I think it's more about lawyers than artists generally.


Hey @gtown, here is a little bit of BEER from @steevc for you. Enjoy it!

Did you know that you can use BEER at dCity game to **buy dCity NFT cards** to rule the world.

I watched it all the way through, none of this skipping malarkey :O) You are a braver man than me to attempt the singing!

It's debatable which of us is braver ;) I am amazed nobody has complained about my singing, but I will keep doing it for now. It was not something I really did until a few years back, but now I must have performed in front of hundreds of people with nothing being thrown at me.

!BEER

Nothing being thrown at you is always a plus. It was always my fear when my old band did gigs in small far flung places !!

Are you Mike Oldfield?

My Cold Field? I'm working on my new album Tubular Balls :)

I can play a few instruments to some extent. Recently got a kazoo!

!BEER

I got kicked out of the music lessons for being crap at the triangle.

Its the effortlessness for me. Still thinking of the instrument that will resonate with my spirit

It takes experience to know what works. A lot of it is about learning patterns, but you have to listen to work out what could sound good.

Cheers
