Thanks Friend! Actually I had about one short bar of sliding, just to get on it on there to meet the specs.
I suspect what might have sounded like sliding was all of the pedal steel-sounding bendy licks that I know, jammed in between 39 sec to 48 sec.:wink:

Hey, thanks! This process has forced me to;
  1. release something, warts and all. Which hasn't happened for a long time.
  2. not get anxiety with fears of rejection.
  3. not be paralyzed with endless software options or gear parameters - searching for diminishing returns on perfection.
While there's a variety of skill levels for playing and recording here, the interesting wildcard is sheer creativity. That's what leaves an imprint in my memory and makes me want to listen to something 10 times to try and figure out what I'd just heard.

Music is a painting to me from the soul outward at times. Depending on mood going into session= what comes out usually. When the session is on record..am lost & usually takes a sec or 2 to come back down after the emotions build & song is complete..probably why the drums & bass are so hyper critical to me..then really paint with the colors between the primary holding the rhythm down..

Very interesting... im glad that you mentioned this. it's like going on a trip, to a different plane of existence. It's like art flows though you. I'm rather straight laced in my reality, and it's served me well. So it's not easy to set that regular life aside, but the next level results come from a different sides of our minds some might be nervous to access.

Yes, cool to discuss. I am very right brained-- mechanic-sports ect yet very left..like extreme creative left brain & the 2 fight & music has been my way of staying sober . It digs into that level like a long run does when around 25 in minutes your senses are hyper aware. Seriously lose time when music is being played. Have learned to yield to left brain vs the right wanted to be repetitive-play copy of whats already done ect
the beauty is is all done sober.. i sucked when i drank & played..ruined that natural blessing
 
I gotta do my slide thing yet.
But based upon how high the bar has been raised, I am in trouble...

Everyone's been busy... Damn, I have drums, bass and guitar, lyrics,... just waiting for a minute when I can record vox tracks without ppl practicing for WWE over my head, juggling, (and DROPPING) every F'IN tool in their tool belt on my head, and for a minute when there isn't someone over here sleeping (gf's son works at night, sleeps all day) ... the struggle is REAL. Haven't had a full night's sleep in over 3 weeks now since the loser upstairs was evicted and an army of sheriffs came stomping through the place to bring all his stuff to the curb. Then, the very next day the landlords came through ripping the upstairs, and the basement, apart. Got new oil tanks at least, but G'DAMN, it sounded like an alien invasion when I woke up at 8am to the sound of those G'DAMN things being dragged across the cement floor under me... they put in a new oil burner for the upstairs apartment too. But sheeit,... now it sounds and feels like I'm sleeping over a launch pad at Cape Canaveral EVERY time that thing kicks on. Imagine trying to sleep through that... So, I no longer have a rock star sleep schedule 3am- crack of noon. Still haven't had a second alone with Jennifer Aniston, nor have I gotten my samich... feeling robbed, exhausted and cranky af. I need a vacation from this place. Gf's son went away for 3 days, and those 3 days when he was gone, the landlords and their crew seemed to be working overtime. I'll get this done though.
