wrote in imitation (sincerest form of flattery) of and as a tribute to Phil Baugh, one of my all-time favorite guitarists.  I wrote it about ten years ago when Phil was playing frequently with Buddy Emmons. </div> <bR> <div> It uses the "Echoplex Trick" that was popular in the '60s with the early tape delay units, plus a whole bunch of effects.  There is also a section using the first generation guitar synthesizer, a single voice Korg X911 -- it's a fun little box that I still get a kick out of to this day. </div> <bR> <div> <B>This tune is on both of my CD's</B></div> <bR> <div> <B>click

of a boppy little number with the trademark '40s solo piano intro that Bird used in several tunes. </div> <bR> <div> It uses a little chorus and some pitch shift stuff (a fourth below the melody, creating a fifth interval with a pentatonic scale lick). </div> <div>   </div> <bR> <bR> <bR> <div> <B>This tune is also on both of my CD's</B></div> <bR> <div> <B>click here for</B></div> <div> <A

but no chorus effect is actually used.  It does use plenty of reverb, however, trying to get a 'spacious' feel. </div> <bR> <div> <B>This tune is also on both of my CD's</B></div> <bR> <div> <B>click

it uses a LOT of clavinet.  The harmony part over the steel melody is also clavinet.  It uses a pitch shifter from my LXP-5 to get an eerie octave above effect. </div> <bR> <div> <B>click here
