A Mullen has left the building

Post by Peter Nylund »

I recently sold a Mullen guitar and shot a last video with it. Here is a mighty fine example of my pitchy playing and crappy video editing.

I know my playing is a bit pitchy, but at least my tone sucks

That's some pretty slick stuff going on in there. That bar slant alone was worth the price of admission.
Very nice stuff!
What amp were you playing through?

I used a Steel King without any other effects. A little delay was added in Cubase

Peter, That sounded great as usual. Sure, there were syncing issues, but pitchy? no - You sound fine and in control as usual That's the best I've heard a Mullen sound in a long time.

Peter,
Nice playing...
Your white Mullen sounds better than when I play my white Mullen....:lol:

WOW! Fantastic Peter. Never heard that song sound so good.
I spent 2 hours removing the audio track from it and then
editing the tracks to get the audio and video in sync so I
could try and figure out how you're getting some of those
fantastic licks. It sure is better when it's in sync. I love it.
I bet my Mullen would sound like that if you played it. :lol: :lol: :lol:
Sure hope to see more soon. :D :D :D

Super-sweet playing by one of my favorite Scandinavian players. Lovely!

I know I'll kick myself when I hear the answer, but what is the song? My mind has went blank. Nice playing. Thanks for sharing it with us.

Rick, the song is "Making Plans" I'm working on that myself,
but you sure wouldn't want to hear my simple version of it. :lol:
