Rattling

For this week's submission, I used the selected theme (no 4/4) with "insane mode" fully engaged. Bands like Unsane or Helmet (and the whole noisy AmRep stuff) have been quite an influence on me as a guitar player, so here's my hommage to that. Also my first band used to play a lot in odd meters like 21/16 and stuff like that, very weird things. Thus, a small bit of nostalgia is in this also.
Meters included are 5/4, 5/8, 7/8 and some compound stuff that i'm too lazy to count out. To challenge myself, I used a different guitar tuning (though you might not hear that in the riffing) and a bottle neck on one of the guitars. I also threw in the solo towards the end just for kicks …
I wanted to include vocals but got sick during the week, which made any adequate vocals impossible. Sorry folks. Equipment used: Telecaster, Sandberg Bass, Blues Blaster, Garageband, GB Amp Models. Drums were programmed, although I wanted to play them at first … "Mixed" and "mastered" (if you will) was done in the box as well. Thanks for listening.
