Awesome mate- I think you can be a little hard on your self at times mate, you rimind me of myself when I was young... Enjoy your playing and allways challenge yourself.

Typical Aussie eh- allways got his amp up louder than most, I love it mate- you turn that gain dial untill your neighbours ears bleed

It's funny, I never heard that. I've only ever heard too as in also. I saw Muddy when I was a kid and he did it, and saw it covered a million times by various artists and never heard tooth. There are a lot of twists to Willy Dixon's original version, but hey, that's the Blues.

Here some links

Here's Muddy http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BNvOnNRB ... re=related

Electric Mud http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tluDI88l ... re=related

There's lot of versions. There's even some guy on youtube that says "John the Kangaroo" That one made me chuckle. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NLHox6yf ... 1&index=39


Here's something interesting,
One of the reasons I didn't like Led Zeppelin when I was a kid was because they tried to steal Willie Dixon's tune "You Need Love" and recorded it as "Whole Lotta Love". They gave him no credit on the original album liner. He sued Led Zep and was awarded something like one million bucks. Wasn't the old stupid Bluesman they thought he was. I've been a Willie Dixon fan since I was 12. That's the only reason the lyric struck me strange.

Please don't take any offense.

Riley, I'm a geezer and been around a long time and played all kinds of music, a lot of it professionally. The feedback didn't sound controlled. It was more oscillation whenever you didn't play a note. Not really controlled. When you actually control feedback, you can hold a note forever. The squealing isn't really controlled feedback, it's squealing just like when a microphone squeals through a PA system.

You're doing fine for the type of music you play. You asked for a critique, but it seems like people aren't critiquing you. Keep at it and you'll get it. When you get a better amp, it will all come together.

no offense taken at all, i'd like to know for certain as well, but thats one of the beauties of the music i guess is interpretation...I'm a big fan of Mr. Dixon as well. The guy was a musical genius I think, as a producer and a musician. Chess records really knew what they were doing working with him so much for all those years.

My thought was since he mentioned one body part a bone, then he was saying tooth as another body part he carried for good luck or mojo. Because the "mojo" could be a tooth, a mojo head, or other body part.

always loved this song (and many others) but this one really showed me how talented Willie was because he was playing the guitar, wish I could learn to play it: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ga3E-70u4g0

SORRY again for hijacking the thread! I'll stop now.

Yep me too. Seems like Me, budglo, BlackCatBone and CC do that from time to time.

Believe me I wanted it to happen when I wasn't playing a powerchord.

hey riley, it's cool that you don't want to back off your sound. trust me, i LOVE gain and distortion. at rehearsals i sit literally 2 feet from my amp. what i like, and i know you are not me, is being right at the edge for my feedback. i can get it exactly when i want it without it sounding any time i lift my fingers off the strings. i did this by cutting my gain a bit. i still got a monster tone, but the feedback is completely under my control.
just try it for this old metal head and tell me what you think. if not, i'll be happy to watch any of your vids. regardless, i think you are doing one heck of a job dude. stay original and true to yourself.

The difference between being someone who will get better at everything they do or not is the difference between someone who will or won't accept feedback. That's awesome that you not only accept it but seek it out.

Vid sounded good. A little too much feedback for me but I'm a blues, pop-rock kind of guy. But no doubts about it, it sounded good bro.

Rock on!!
