Farewell and Goodnight - The Smashing Pumpkins

Merci Michmuch!

@HeatherDiaz

I appreciate the invite, Claude

I have been listening to your fine guitar playing not only in this collab but all of then. Good work on vocals too.. i do bot lnow the tune but will certainly do mu best to add to your parts, very interesting selection, good job you both!

@FelKeys : Love your acoustic guitar you play, what brand ?

@FelKeys : Thanks for the kind words. No doubt your participation will be great. The acoustic guitar is a Larrivée OM-03.

Hi John, thanks man, I wanted to try something different. And yes, I would be real happy if you join me on this one. I'll send you an invitation

@Claude : Tried something Claude wondering am I even close ? Don't be afraid to hurt my feelings ...

Wow, awesome track John. I love it. And very good tempo. Not as easy when you repeat the same thing for 3 minutes and more. Since you asked, the only thing I would change is the bass drum on beats 1 and 3. Would sound more relax if the accent was only on beats 2 and 4 with the tom. But it is very very good as it is. Thanks a lot John.

@Claude : I can redo Claude without the bass drum no worries. I'll have another listen I thought I heard a note that sounded different than the rhythm, do you hear a note or is it empty? And likewise the tempo was difficult to maintain as I'm sure you discovered playing the guitar.

@Claude : Hi Claude just had a listen on Spotify and it's much clearer to hear my mistakes on there, I will redo and clean it up for you, your attention to detail has (always) been noted :-))

@Bdajaysus: Hi John. I listened again and what I hear is three notes on the mid tom that repeat throughout the song plus a slight accent on beats 2 and 4 on the floor tom. It reminds me of a Native American rhythm :-)

@Claude : That's as I hear it now Claude

@Claude : Hi Claude once again into the breach :-) Am I any closer ?

@Bdajaysus: Fantastic John! You nailed it and the tempo is just perfect. Thank you so much for that.
