Fusion dinners at Wilmer´s!

[Wilmer X]

Ok, here we go again. So: last night I made a "Filet de canard de persille au gnochi", which can be seen as a fusion between the French and Italian cousine. I fried the filets from a duck I chopped the head off in the morning with a big butcher knife (see pic). I made a sauce with onion, veal stock, cream and fresh parsley. Then I made a gnochi paste from potatos, Jerusalem artichoke, eggs and durum wheat, which I boiled in water only some minute. We had a wine from Toscana to it, made only from the grape Sangiovese (Italian: Jupiter´s blood). With this fusion oriented meal it´s necessary with a high quaility instrument: a Gibson Howard Roberts Fusion. This is how that guitar sounds:

Just kidding. I got the impression that no one was interested so I took it all away.

[warren0728]

man that looks great wilmer! and some real tasty guitar playing too!

[Wilmer X]

Thanks Warren! :) I´m not so happy with the pic: the gnochis are so colourless. And the recording is from a rehearsal; one can hear that we need to practice more on that tune. :(

looked good to me....as for the recording....i'd kill to sound like that!

There´s nothing special with the sound. In that tune I play the stock neck pickup (a 490R) of my Gibson Howard Roberts into a Boss OD3, a Boss DD3 and a touch of a Boss Chorus, into the clean channel of my Blues Deville, and use a touch of the reverb from the amp.

i was referring to the caliber of playing more than the tone....both of which were good as far as i'm concerned....

[Wilmer X]

Now I must say that you´re exaggerating, since the tune goes in a mixolydian scale, as should also the solo. But I forgot about that and played the solo in a mix of a dorian and an ordinary minor scale. :confused: Now that´s not a problem for me, since I see a solo as a personal thing where it´s up to everyone to put together many parts in their own way. But real jazzers should probably bash my kind of playing.:weebz:

i'm not a real jazzer....just a mediocre play only at home for funner.... biggrin
