Or in the case of something like Telstar, I'd play the lead organ line (which the FA 06 actually has a great patch for!) and then play the guitar solo when it comes time for that. Though I can play keys so I might do something like play the 'lead' part on keys for things like the Happy Organ, Green Onions, etc. So I'd do Pipeline and Wipeout just like the record, playing the guitar parts. These would be guitar-led instrumentals largely in the vein of surf music and 'instro' music of the 60s. I'm not going to be singing (unless I do something sneaky with the vocoder sounds). I have an FA 06 now so I think I could get some really good sounds going without the instruments sounding cheesy. Very few sequences were 'like the record' or without major errors (though I did find a few perfect out of the gate). One issue is the 'cheesy' MIDI files - previously when I was in a band that used MIDI sequences for anything beyond the guitar bass and drums we played live, I had to either create the sequences from scratch or greatly edit those I found online. I've toyed with the idea off an on for years now about playing MIDI sequences and playing live guitar to them. Get a free download below, and see Jeremiah Tall at one of two shows this weekend: Friday March 14th at Bryn and Dane’s in Horsham, or Saturday March 15th at MOM’s in Doylestown.I'm a guitarist but I know just enough keys to be dangerous. As the kick-tambourine beat enters, “Penn’s Woods” takes a broader scope, looking at the dreams of rural workers and finding solace in simplicity. It opens with a wistful banjo pattern as Tall sings of escaping from a exhausting small town life to an even smaller town – the one-road, one-horse zen isolation of the narrator’s childhood. But you can also hear the more delicate side to Tall in “Penn’s Woods,” a new song we’re premiering today. You can see what that looks / sounds like below in a live performance of the stomping “Bleed” shot at The Fire. Tall is quite literally a one-man band, channeling that rowdy barroom rock energy into rabble rousing, bourbon-soaked country with just himself and a hand-painted suitcase converted into a kick drum.

On the one hand, it’s very roots / Americana-centric – not unlike his neighbors Levee Drivers – but there’s a key difference here. Hailing from pastoral Bucks County, Jeremiah Tall has equal access to the city and countryside, and you can totally hear it in his music.
