I don't really play at all like Beck, but this is what the backing track I used was called.

Slow Beckish track

I tried to quot;smoothquot; the Tele a bit, but not too much.

thanks for listening.

Wow, amazing ambiance. Nobody does it better than you do Marin. I could listen to this for hours while working. Awesome! Is the the neck or the bridge pickup? Sorry, I know zip about Tele's. The tone make me want to buy one.

i like that alot mr marin ... tasty tone and phrases .. your leading and trailing note choices are always so evocative ... i like how you alter dynamics inside your phrases .. i fear that too many of my phrases start loud and get soft, or start soft then get loud ... you seem to effortlessly be able to take it up and down within a phrase to great effect

if i hit the lottery, i am going to produce a CD of you, scott lerner, and a few others

be ready

cheers

Simply fantastic!! Really loving your phrasing, the space between the notes is so tast!!. What pickups again?

That was AWESOME. You are such a wicked player.

A Telecaster has 2 pickups and 3 positions: neck, middle and bridge. I use all three throughout the tune. When I switch to bridge, I tend to roll off the treble knob. My right hand almost always on the pickup bridge/tone controls if it's not picking.

thanks T4D!

A good guy to learn dynamics from is Larry Carlton. He's just ace.

Thanks man.

The pickups are Kinman Broadcaster, an overwound, noiseless Telecaster set. Pretty good for recording and don't have the quot;icepick in the earquot; thing.

They don't have the vintage shrill, but I don't hear that anyway when I record.

Thanks very much. Like everyone else, when I am relaxed and lucky, I manage to get some inspiration.

It's a great tune. The pacing and phrasing are great, just like the others said. I love that tone.

thanks, that's really nice of ya. I used my Telecaster with a Boss amp simulator.

Nice clip, Marin You're getting a really nice gritty sound from that Boss setup. Very cool dynamics and phrasing, as others have noted. I dig!

Lovely, lovely playing, you got the Beck vibe just right.
Were did you get the backing track?
