george matt bowles guitar playing with djembe AIssist

neutone fx plugin providing the AI djembe playing! after being very focused on guitar pedals for years, I wanted to just record a track with one pedal. chose my newest guitar pedal, the valeton gp-5. dialed up some of the clean settings and just hit record and improvised on my telecaster. added a few plugins in post production.

AI creeps me the heck out, but I absolutely love your guitar on this!

thank you! for some reason AI drums don't bother me as much, but I try to stay away from other aspects of AI. i have used some randomization of melodies and fractal music in the past, generative stuff, but AI just uses too much energy!

and thanks much on the guitar playing comment, since covid I have not been practicing as much so I'm trying to get back to it, been practicing more lately and i'm glad to see it's paying off! it was nice to strip things down a bit and just play guitar without my whole pedalboard and just do some cool post rock and post punk stuff. thank you.

Heck yeah! I hope you can keep up the practice routine, it sounds great.
