Fat Tuesday - my take on the D-tone

marinblues · Feb 18, 2009

I know that there are many tastes and flavours of the D-tone (smooth, strainy, fordish, carltonish, srv-y, santanish, mayerish, etc...). On top of that everyone has their own idea and recollection of what it may be.
This is as close as I get to my idea of a D-tone. (especially after 01:16 when I switch to the bridge pickup).

My D-tone take

Hope you like it. Thanks to Mats for the backing.

Nice.Sounds a little like Lowell's tone with less definition.That might be because of the 'buckers...

marinblues · Feb 18, 2009

thanks. I am glad you liked it. I haven't actually heard much (any!) Little Feat.

Very cool tone, i bit to mushy for my taste on the neck pickup but then i NEVER use a neck HB with OD, the bridge pup sounds VERY good.
BtW which nermark backing is this, sounds like great fun to play over

Anders,

I agree with you about the muddy neck pickup, but, I am told, thats what Les Pauls are supposed to sound like!

In all honesty, its difficult to get the right balance with these Burstbucker pickups. In order not to have a piercing bridge, the neck gets a bit muddy. However, it only happens on the lower notes. Around 01:05, I hit the higher notes and the treble comes back.

The backing is the last one Mats posted. Try scrolling a few pages...

thanks. Marin

Well my Roukangas has a undwound meck pup so it is quite usable and still LP-ish. Is the backing on BT-King?
BTW, Here's my take on the dumble sound, 25 minutes of it :

Hi Anders,

The track is called Fat Tuesday (Fettisdag och semlor )and you will find it at BT King in the Jazzrock section second from the top.

Enjoy!

Nice Marin. I always dig your clips. This is no exception. You're a great player with a keen sense of tone.

Great clip. I am getting a Les Paul next week. I haven't owned one for well over fifteen years. I can't wait to play it through my rig.

thanks guys. I am new to the Les Paul, but I am liking it.

The amp is a Ceriatone.

nice job! I like it. Nice delay too

TopDog · Feb 20, 2009

Cool, I dug the playing.. nice !!!!

Sounds like a Les Paul to me .I heard some of that signature throatiness.

You need a video camera that keeps up with your picking hand!

How did you get such good quality audio/video ?

Did you bypass the camera mic preamp w/something else ?
