Mike Wilson Playing "Misty" on C6th

This is probably the most challenging one I've done yet. Playing "Misty" using one of Herby Wallace's Rythm tracks. Oustanding track. Uses all 5 pedals and knee lever lowering the 3rd string on this version. Very challenging. Hope you like it. Oh, by the way, Bobby Bowman, I tried to get a smile or 2 in this video for you, LOL http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c49MZ0kKitU

Mike,
Great playing!! Great tone!! but you have some very noisy pedals and knee levers there.

Thanks for the comments Bernie and Ray. I went back and listened to it again. I didn't hear pedal noise. I hear the tick of the drum at the same time that I'm engaging a lever or pedal. I'm not a great player but I do worry about pedal noise and Mullen guitars just don't have it. Unless I've lost more of my hearing than I thought. LOL

Mike, IMO, that's super; great touch, dead on and great arrangement. May I ask, is this your own arrangement or did anyone's tab influence you? I would love to be able to do it this way; the ending is super too.

Great job, Mike. I enjoyed that.

Thanks, Kenny, Charles and Jack. This is a Herby Wallace arrangement with a couple things that I did differently, and that being said, I hope I did it some justice.

HI MIKE,

I really like your playing on "MISTY". It sounds very good.

BTW: There's nothing wrong with your hearing. The sounds on the track could be mis-interpreted as pedal noise. No modern PSG has pedal noise.

Great song, great job!

Very nice Mike.

Especially good as there’s time for you to make a cup of tea during the piano and guitar solos.

No, seriously – great backing track – where can I get it?

Thanks Tony D., Frank, and Tony S. Yeah, definitely time for coffee or tea on the break. That track is a Herby Wallace rythm track and you can get them from him. He has some really great rythm tracks all done with some super musicians. Thanks again guys.

Mike, outstanding job on Misty... The Mullen sounds great..

Mike Wilson · Post by **Mike Wilson** » 9 Apr 2009 5:24 am

Thanks alot Mike, Ray and Joe. Ray, I got a laugh out of that. Let's see, if I remember right, Merv tried real hard to teach me how to be a gentleman, and you, well let's see, didn't we drink alot of beer back in those days. as well as play a lot of good music. I think Merv gave up on me. LOL.

Well, it may be hard to believe, but I have been in the dark ages until now. I have had dial up and just changed over to high speed. I have been unable to watch videos on dial up but now I can see what I have been missing. Anyhow, I just wanted to comment that my friend, Mike Wilson, did a great job on this tune. As he mentioned, the track is from one of my albums which has Roy Rosetta playing a solo and Gary Davis playing the guitar solo. I must say that I thought Mike's tone was great on the Mullen. Of course, Mullen is my favorite guitar anyway, but Mike really got a super clean tone.
