Clacton Pier

Todays noodle, one of those headache days unfortunately so it's just a rough scratch track really, you'll just have to imagine how this would sound with production and what the vocal line would be.

Thank-you. It’s a classic pattern that Donovan allegedly taught the Beatles when they were together in India at the ashram in 68.

Thanks Franjoe30 !

Thanks deadman42 !

Thanks Monkey_Man and hafi19 ! Glad you enjoyed it even if it’s incomplete.

Thanks Mats_Nermark to me it’s just a foundation. A sketch like I sometimes do when working out a track, I may revisit sometime throw in some melody ideas I wanted and the rest of the band!

Thanks Trigati , think of it more as off season, a cold wintery day. There’s a melancholy about the place, honestly about all seaside tourist spots when the tourists are gone even here in San Francisco, not as bad as Blackpool where it all gets boarded up, and in Clacton there’s still at least a few more sheets of newspaper flying around than the retirement home that is Frinton and that actinic scent of vinegar from the chippies mixed with the sea air. I think it’s part of what drove the air of the menace of normalcy for Graham Greene in Brighton Rock too. For me it fits at least a few of the times I was there, just a little bit to far to bother when you’re growing up in Manningtree.

Thanks, you’ll have to let me know how it works out as an actual soundtrack!

Thanks MuddySludge !
