interesting... for some reason there's some Pat Metheny at the beginning!

No worries, I'll be on the lookout for a proper replacement. Great choice of promote!

Oops, sorry. I owe you a promote for making the blunder.

Hm, that's not the same video that went dead. The original had Pat Metheny playing solo. But I guess it serves some of the same purpose...

I saw Pat Metheny Trio in concert last year, probably the most worthwhile money I have ever spent on music. This guy plays an amazing array of different guitars so well!

Thanks! Happy to see you use your powers for good!

That arrangment is from his album "One Quiet Night" which is all recorded on a Baritone Guitar so it's lower than normal. Hope that helps...

wow, i think those are bass strings stringed in where the low e and a are.

And thats a wound string where the b would be.

Interesting. Love to know how he's stringed up and tuned. That is certainly not standard to be sure.

cant say I'm familiar with a baritone guitar. Guess they have a wound string where a steel string would be for the B string on a regular guitar. Either way its an interesting setup. I've messed around with many many different tunings and one of my older guitars i used to change the nut on it cuz i'd string it up with different kinds of strings in certain places and have to custom file the nut to fit.

I've seen the Pat Metheny Group. They're effin' awesome.

Great song indeed, was just about to submit it, so heres the post I was preping:

The Orb

From the tracks Wiki:

"Little Fluffy Clouds" is centered around clips from an interview with Rickie Lee Jones in which she recalls to LeVar Burton picturesque images of her childhood. Critics and fans sometimes attribute the odd nasal tonality of Rickie Lee Jones' voice to drug use, though Jones later claimed that it was the result of a heavy cold. The sample comes from "A Conversation with Rickie Lee Jones", an interview featured on a promotional 2-CD edition of the Flying Cowboys album.

Burton: "What were the skies like when you were young?"

Jones: "They went on forever – They - When I w- We lived in Arizona, and the skies always had little fluffy clouds in 'em, and, uh... they were long... and clear and... there were lots of stars at night. And, uh, when it would rain, it would all turn - it- They were beautiful, the most beautiful skies as a matter of fact. Um, the sunsets were purple and red and yellow and on fire, and the clouds would catch the colors everywhere. That's uh, neat cause I used to look at them all the time, when I was little. You don't see that. You might still see them in the desert."

Jones was upset at the unauthorized use of her voice and pursued the issue in the legal system. Big Life chose to settle out of court for an undisclosed sum of money for use of her voice on The Orb's recording.

The song also uses a harmonica sample from Ennio Morricone's The Man With The Harmonica (from the film Once Upon a Time in the West) and parts of Electric Counterpoint ,a piece for multitracked guitars composed by Steve Reich and recorded by Pat Metheny. Reich, unlike Jones, was "genuinely flattered" by The Orb's use of his work and instructed his record company not to sue.Alex Paterson has also mentioned that fans would "die" if they discovered where the drums on "Little Fluffy Clouds" originated from.
