about

This song starts out with a 7/8 riff. I also slipped in a swelling synth sound in the background to try to glue things together a bit. The tune then goes into 15/16 scale run that was pure hell to play on bass. Then off to the funky part which I tried to make as old school as possible by using the phaser on the rhythm guitar and using the "slap and pop" technique on the bass. I also stuck in a bass/organ run which quiets things down a bit. Then comes the the diminished low C# riff with the Pink Floyd clock sound. Back to the funk. Then to C# again with a solo (hey I gotta have a little fun). Then it wraps up with the 7/8 theme.
