A song that I can play on an instrument<\/h1>\n

 <\/p>\n

I can play (really badly) the rhythm guitar parts of most of Pink Floyd’s back-catalogue.<\/p>\n

I generally lack the creative imagination to do my own thing with the work of Wright, Waters, Gilmour, and Mason.<\/p>\n

Besides, why would I want to muck about with something that’s too good to muck about with?<\/p>\n

But there is a song that I can play; a song that I put my own distinctive style on.<\/p>\n

I play it on my Gibson SG.<\/p>\n

I run the guitar through my Thunderbird amp, where I introduce some reverb, some echo, and quite a lot of co-channel distortion.<\/p>\n

I slow the tempo – keeping it in 4\/4 time, but slowing the tempo by almost 1\/3rd.<\/p>\n

Fuzzed up, slowed down, and with a huge amount of reverb and quite a lot of distortion, my version of \u2018Knights In White Satin\u2019 is fun to play (even if it isn’t quite as much fun for anyone else to listen to).<\/p>\n

Here’s the original. Use your imagination.<\/p>\n
