.... you get dragged back in again. 
I'd thought after over a year away from electric blues collaborations on a forum far away I had escaped their allure.
But two private messages from unexpected sources changed all that. The second of which resulted in a collab where I got to play along with a very talented blues guitar player called Tom Adams (aka TytlBlues).
I got to choose a backing track (from JamTracks Central) to suit me and got to play on verses 2,4,6, and 8, so Tom had the burden of that all important starting it off on verse 1. I also got to record my parts first so he had to fit his in with mine, and what he did somehow elevated mine to sound better than they were. How does that work?
I also got to put my line down on joint verse 9 at the end so he had to layer his playing to mesh around it.
I've never been so surprised at how good the final result of a collab like this has been before. So much so that I'd like to share it here too - I promise I'm not defecting back to electrics.
It's about 45 seconds per verse - Tom has the more trebly sounding Strat sound with more delay in the sound and plays rather more fluently and uses more notes than I do. My guitar sound is the plummier one of the neck pickup on my PRS SE (Tonerider) P90s guitar that I'd been idly wondering about selling till recently till I tried it and was reminded how good it sounds.

is there a cure for this affliction? .... Sorry to sully the forum with this music from the dark side.
Normal service will be resumed as soon as possible.
