THANK YOU STEVE!!!Mrs. Smith Harmonics LessonMrs. Smith2021-08-09 | A quick lesson from Mrs. Smith using harmonics.Mrs. Smith Baker Street Guitar Harmony TechniqueMrs. Smith2021-08-01 | Kittens if anyone tells you there's rules to creativity send them to me because I have a beautiful bridge in Brooklyn to sell them! My videos or songs start with an impulse: a memory, a story, a riff, and I begin and then lords knows where it will lead. The Baker Street cover guitars (full video here: youtu.be/NSvlJ8dxszw ) were recorded direct to video with backing track playing underneath and then synched to the track in a video program. I even did some EQ'ing, reverb, and delay inside the VIDEO PROGRAM (again no rules!!). For the second verse I wanted something zesty and came up with this harmonization using the pitch shift inside the video program "keyframed" which means the parameters of the effect change based on the frame of the video. When I heard this sound I was so thrilled I fell down the stairs and my shoes fell off and electrons shot out of my eyeballs!

LYRICS I went to Applebees with my luvin' niece Outside were BLM and fightin' with police I turned away I couldn't say just what to do I'm not involved it will resolve what can ya do?
Antifa.... Antifa... It's callin'!
And the waitress talkin' revolution! As I'm waitin' for my bloomin' onion And the black flag pin is shinin' in the light....!
She's going to join them! Antifa Niece! She's going to kill me I fear!
She's going to join them Antifa Niece! She's going to change... On me!
Next thing I know I find I'm runnin' through the streets Can't find her anywhere Where's my crazy niece?
She's over there she's gotta bullhorn in her hand She's screamin' out wants to bring anarchy to the land
Antifa.... Antifa... She's joined up!
And all of a sudden the cops are swarming The barricade breaks and I am running Before you know it I got tear gas in my eyes...
She's going to join them! Antifa Niece! She's going to kill me I fear!
She's going to join them Antifa Niece! She's going to change... On me!

Who would dare challenge Metallica Kirk Hammett’s status as the reigning King of the Crybaby Wah Wah effects pedal, an undisputed title recognized by millions of fans the world over, not to mention Wah manufacturers Dunlop who feature a Kirk Hammett Signature model?
Last year, the gauntlet was thrown down by a most unlikely challenger... Mrs. Smith! New York City-based philanthropist, emerging guitar goddess, and lover of all cats (and some people), Mrs. Smith has dared to proclaim that she is, in fact, the #1 Abuser of the Wah. Kirk accepted her challenge, and now these two will finally go head to head (foot to foot?) in a Crybaby Battle Royale for the Ages!!!
March 8 at the Senate in Columbia, SC!
