Howard Emerson new composition
Just finished this a couple of days ago, and made a rough pass to help work the piece into shape.
I just love frailing! I hope you enjoy it! https://youtu.be/k1zDZPK1AX4Regards, Howard Emerson |
Love it!! It has that "Howard vibe".....great groove......great stuff. Love the chord change at 1:38, what a treat to the ears.
Your style is so unique, smooth and identifiable.....just super, Howard. Fred |
That was foot-tapping nice. I liked it a lot.
I must say I'm a little jealous of your right hand fingernails. I usually have very strong nails that I leave longish and shaped for playing, but lately for some reason, they've been chipping and somehow I ripped my middle finger nail twice in just the past couple of weeks. |
Excellent, Howard... I thoroughly enjoyed it. :up:

Thank you so much for the kind comments! I hope they all sound different, but with my 'stuff' sprinkled on 'em. The 'kernal' of the piece is around 10 years old (the V chord section that leads into that VImin transition you like), and recently I was playing on my Telecaster, and it was mmmmm.....okay, doing something, but nah.....and then I Found The Frail, and I've frailed on & off for years but never incorporated it into a piece. The dam cracked open, and when I got the release part happening at 2:02 I got really excited. After that it was a race to find the 'final' arrangement before my wife went looking for a sharp object. If she thinks that's bad, though, she should hear what goes on in my head when I'm 'editing'.............Give me tinnitus any day......oops.....I already have that, but I digress...... Thanks again!

I've been gluing tips on forever. I stopped getting the acrylic powder stuff over the tips a long time ago. The tips & Crazy Glue brush formula works just fine. I use a Pro-Pik Fingertone on my ring finger because I can get just the right amount of angle & bite, and I never have to frail with that finger. Now I understand that a lot of people are not down with the glue, etc, but it's what I've done since about 1992 or so. I'm glad you enjoyed the piece! Best, Howard http://howardemerson.com |
PS to the mod squad
If anyone could actually put the youtube as embedded I'd appreciate it.
I tried wrapping the link, yada, etc, but........ Thank you kindly. HE |

Very nice Howard! I really like that and it does have your characteristic sound, as hard as that might be to define! I gave you a "thumbs up" on your YouTube channel!

That was good Howard. I like that bounce.

Lovely Howard, really enjoyed that! Steve Barney must have been listening to you. I can hear you in some of his tunes. Thanks again!
