TUBE PUNK
SONG: Tube Punk is fast, punky tune, inspired by the Skate Punk of Agent Orange and the modern poppy punk style of Sum 41 and Blink 182. The Intro riff is made out of powerchords and played by both guitars. The rhythm guitar just uses Barre-chords in the verse and chorus and some octaves combined with the open G-string in the bridge.
The lead guitar has a sort of vocal approach, trying to be more melodic than flashy. Some bluesy undertones are creeping into the punky feel. The solo just cuts loose with some Jimmy Page-style repeating licks in your favorite pentatonic box. Nice & simple!
AMPS: I used a Plexi 18 Watt TMB head for the song with all knobs on 3 over a 4 x12 cabinet. The rhythm guitar is guitar straight into the amp. For the lead part I added a Fulltone OCD to get a little more drive out of the head.
Here are the settings:
BASS 3 MIDDLE 3 TREBLE 3 VOLUME 3
GUITARS: The rhythm part was played on the bridge pickup of my LSL Telecaster, which is basically like a 50s Tele with a maple neck.
The lead guitar part was done on my black Fender Strat (1969 neck, 1971 body).

SWING DA CAT
SONG: Swing Da Cat is a fast, jazzy tune with a gipsy swing feel in G-Minor, paying tribute to some of my jazz heroes like Barney Kessel, Grant Green and Kenny Burrell. The melody is played with a lot of slides and Hammer Ons to make it sound smother and a little more horn like. The rhythm guitar uses the typical quarter note swing comping and adds some more modern chords in the C-section.
AMPS: I used a TAD Tweed One-Twelve-16 Combo, 5E3 Style for the song . The amp is similar to the Tweed Deluxe you hear on classic Blue Note recordings by Kenny Burrell and Grant Green. You just have to set two knobs and can start swinging! Pretty cool in my opinion…
Here are the settings, used for lead and rhythm guitar:
VOLUME 4 TONE 7
GUITARS: The rhythm part was played on the neck pickup of my LSL Telecaster, which is basically like a 50s Tele with a maple neck. To get the dark sound I used my thumb and no pick.
The lead guitar part was done on my 1971 Gibson ES 335. It has flatwound strings, 11 to 52. I used the neck pickup and rolled the tone poti down a bit

VIOLET SNEAKERS
SONG: Violet Sneakers is a song inspired by the music of Neil Young and Dinosaur Jr. with a slight cinematic feel. The A and B part has some cool twangy melodies on the low strings, while the C part goes wild with some unison bends. The solo combines bluesy pentatonic licks with a melodic slide part.
For the rhythm part I just used basic open chords in the A and B section and powerchords in the C section.
AMPS: I used a TAD Tweed One-Twelve-16 Combo, 5E3 Style for the song . The amp is similar to the Tweed Deluxe you hear on a lot of Neil Young recordings. It has just two knobs, Volume and Tone, so it’s pretty simple to set up, which is perfect for me.
Here are the settings:
VOLUME 11 TONE 8
The slide solo was played through a Plexi 45 Combo, boosted by a Fulltone OCD.
GUITARS: For the lead and rhythm part I played my black Fender Strat (69 neck, 71 body) on the bridge pickup.
The slide part was done on my 1974 Strat on the neck pickup.
