thanks man! Yeah sorry, I shouldn't apologize for my playing, but everytime I hear myself recorded I realise I should practice more  It also took me a while to just smile and say thanks to people, when they come up to you after a gig and say they liked it. Instead of going " no man, I usually play much better than this..."

I don't know "someday..."

Thanks! I've actually no idea my ears are smarter than my brain and fingers. i tend to follow the colors I "hear" in a track, that 's why my fingers are always a bit behind and my timing isn't great. It gets better when I play more (duh). I did have lessons in the past, but I couldn't connect the theory to the playing. As soon as I start playing, my mind goes blank! I also play in a bigband and according to the bandleader the easiest way to have me turn down the volume, is to put a new arrangement in front of me ;-)

This backing is all minor I think, haven't analysed it. There's one bit where a chord steps out a bit. I either ignore it or do my lame version of playing outside; raising whatever I'm playing a halfstep. I haven't mastered that trick yet, as it's very important where and when you step " in and out". Having mastered that, you also have to play it with 100% conviction and then it can sound really cool!

I guess Mr. Hankey has the "brown sound"
