Peter Clarke - Guitar Slinger Plus
69. in all-time charts
Jogeir's original, Amiga version of this track has been one of those benchmark tracks that you don't really attempt, unless you're serious. I really liked the original when I first heard it and it's only grown on me more, over time. So, here you are… A remix where I intended to smooth out the lumps in the original's 4-channel limitation and add my own signature to it, whilst remaining considerate of the original.
The soundscape is a mixture of both sample-packs & my 'Line 6 Variax' guitar. Variax is a 6-string, electric, 'modelling' guitar that can mimic a really wide range of other classic guitars, (even 12-string electric & acoustic guitars). As an example ,the guitar-picking, arpeggio in the 2nd part of this piece is a mix of 'Stratocaster' & 'Rickenbacker 12-string'.
