Lockdown Licks no. 172.
A Lockdown licks original song!
“War is the Devil’s Hand.” (A Message to ‘The Man’.)
Played and written on a Harley Benton Thirty Five.
With mid pick up setting -blending both Roswell humbuckers!Direct into the NUX M8 with analogue delay set to the tempo of the song with the amp on ‘superlead’ and a little reverb.
The lyrics are centred around the heavy chord changes from E to C to G to A and the melody IS the riffs and chords.
Bands such as Pink Floyd and Wishbone Ash weren’t afraid to use big bold blues riffs,stay on a single chord with use of delay and distortion to create a ‘sonic’ sounding effect. Thoughtfully written lyrics about the ‘goodness’ in people, despite war and pestilence. I have tried to follow that theme.
In “War is the Devils Hand” Take our message to the Man” are the ‘singalong’ chorus!”
I will add some bass and drums, with a possible guest vocal if I record it.
