| Pent Up Sex Appeal |
Collaborated with Colin Jones who wrote the Lyrics
I bought a used Epiphone Left-handed Les Paul - Tried out for the first time on this track
This was a real fun project - I think it's complete??- may have to tweak the mix, this is the first version.
........................................................................................................................................................................
I dont care and I dont frown, when you are with me Im never down,
When you smile and when you speak, its all the pleasure I ever seek,
You make me feel like a spinning wheel, with your crazy pent up sex appeal
I cant believe the way you are, when you come at me like a shooting star.
Youre there one minute and then youre gone and I dont know what Ive done wrong,
It beats me up when you are this way, not listening to a word I say.
When all I have are the photographs, the music, words and endless laughs,
The days we sat under shady trees, the shifting sand of memories.
If that is all we have to hold, theyll stay with me as we grow old,
And things in them will change a touch, but never spoil the scene too much,
Ill take them with me when I go, my very own life picture show,
So make it with me - make it last, an image of this lovely past.

Yeah I was patient - got a bargain reduced from £200 to £150.00, not as patient as the chap selling. He even brought it round my house to try out. The guitar is in excellent condition, it needs running in...lol. The craftsmanship is faultless, I was expecting it to be avarage being manufactured in China.
I'll take some pics later and upload
Haha yeah definately has a Knopfler feel to it, mainly because of the vox. Nice track, I like the drum sequence a lot, simplicity combined with a few catchy breaks. Although there is a lot of tambourine going on, which strongly colours the otherwise so clean and transparent arrangement.
Nice song with good lyrics, and that's a very nice guitar!

More Pics of my new Les Paul
Has anyone had experience changing picups on an Epiphone Les Paul? - I'm thinking of putting Gibson 57 Classics on the guitar. New they cost about £75.00ea,

No, but I've got two Epiphones I plan to upgrade with some hot-rodded pickups. One is a Les Paul, the other is an SG. Their pickups are pretty lackluster. My Epiphone is a "Cherryburst". but I have always wanted a "Vintage Sunburst" or a "Tobacco Burst" like your's. (In fact, I'm currently bidding on one from eBay).Denis wrote…

I played the guitar through speakers for the first time today and I like what I hear, I'm putting through a line 6 pod and found some presets that I like the sound of, so I think I'll stick with it for now. I had a listen to those hot rodded picups and they sound a bit too metallic for my liking, that's why I thought of upgrading to the Gibsons 57 classics, you still get that heavy sound, but slightly more high end, but I've a feeling that there is not a lot in it. The other important thing is what you put your guitar through and tweak the settings. It's not something you can try before you buy and every youtube video I've seen where people have changed picups sound different. If I find another bargain I may be tempted to get the Gibsons, for now I'll record some stuff and see how it sounds.

Interesting, I use a Pod, too (also use amps as I'm sure you do as well). I (like you) have several guitars and I have played them all through the same amps - the Epiphones just produce a less-expressive sound. The pickups I was going for aren't really the high-gain/distortion type - I'm more interested in getting that 59 Les Paul sound. I'm going for the Wagner "Fillmore" or "Darkburst" set, which are touted to produce that vintage sound (but they also offer clarity at low volumes).Denis wrote…

It's crazy I've been playing the guitar for over 38 years and I did not realize until doing lots of surfing the net that piccups can alter your sound, or more to the point create your own sound, a sound you like.
Many piccup companies seem to be in the US, which is pain for me if I get a problem, although I have stumbled across a UK company, but they cost more than the Gibson 57's, cickey they must be one hell of a pick up - here is a link

EDIT* - I like The Mule humbucker, it's versatile with huge tone - There are sound samples, real sweat - BUT comes with a price tag to match - OUCH
