"Mosquito Hop"

Post by Chris Templeton »

I recorded "Mosquito Hop" on a pre-war Rickenbacher B-6. tuned C6th: https://christophertempleton.bandcamp.c ... squito-hop
The idea was the mosquito is buzzing, and he goes away and comes back, and the chase is on.
I was fortunate to have Victor and Joseph Wooten record on it.
I composed it thinking about the possible hammer-ons in the C6th tuning..
