Surfing With the Hungarian

This tune utilizes the A major, minor, and Hungarian minor scales.  This performance has a few rough spots, but the overall quality of the composition is well captured.  I used my BOSS RC-2 Loop Station for the background parts.  The influences for this piece include Ted Nugent (Hibernation), Dick Dale and the Del Tones (anything off of King of the Surf Guitar), and Joe Satriani (I'm not worthy, but I tried).

Sassdrudge Blues

This is a 12 bar blues piece that I've toyed with for a few years.  The I chord riff is based on a unique approach to the E blues scale.  The IV chord is based on the A Hungarian minor scale.  The V chord is based on the B blues scale.  The big bend at the end of the turnaround was influenced by Tony Iommi.

I prerecorded the main riff and the drum machine on my Boss RC-2 loop station.  I played slide leads over the top of the loop on my Stratocaster.  I tried to capture a sassy, plaintive, vocal-like quality with the slide.
