Booze Makes You Stupid

Don't know how this fits in with what has already been suggested.
I haven't had much time but have just thrown together 3 guitar tracks over half the song, to illustrate my way of thinking on this.

Let me know if any of it works with your ideas.

Let me know if any of it works with your ideas. 

On time, in tune, and the right key - how could it not work? Schweet guitar action, Pilgrim!
 You OK with a little slice-and-splice to fit the arrangement as it develops? Got individual tracks to post? What are you waiting for?

oren..
i wanted to get this ruff arrange to ya.
(mp3 attached.) for your feedback.
i left your voc in at begin cos i like it..
sorta an intro. but levels prob cos it has backing with it.
but no matter all ruff at this stage.

the one thing i think it needs n obviously youll have to redo
backing if you agree with arrange is..
mebe a key change ?? to make things more interesting ??
cos i was slicin n copying the backing n pasting etc to create the ruff arrange..
things are a tad off..but no matter.

anyhoo gimme yer feedback mate bad or good.
all the best.
ps..if you agree with the backing some lyrics need
furher finessing once i get final backing etc etc.
these are just lyric ideas at this point.

Manning,

We have some action coming in from Thom(elwoodblues1969), and maybe a few other folks, so let's see what they have for us before doing any further arrangement. There may be several vocalists in the mix.
What you have there is already premium - if you're inclined to lay it down again to your satisfaction in this key as a monaural track and post it here, please do. If we need something more in another key, we can always ask.

Sorry, it was late last night when I made these.

Here are the three individual parts.
They are each One verse and One chorus, just ready to loop together in any combination.
I have taken the processing off and supplied the 'clean' guitar.

In the example I sent last night part 1 was thru GreeMachine, part2 thru FreeAmp and part 3 thru Voxenboogex.

Play with them as you will

James,

I managed to locate and export my virtual vocal tracks,but once I had them in Audacity,I discovered that the effects were present.
I hope you can make use of these tracks.

[Oren]

Manning, we'll work with what you have here, and ask for more if necessary. Thanks!

Thom, I can hardly wait to get going with this stuff!

[offthewall]

 
So much activity ..... and me am SO busy at home right now ... 

I shall take all this stuff onboard and report back in a few days.

[Oren]

James - never any hurry, here - you know this...

Here is a preliminary mix, with the song chopped down to 3minutes 42seconds...

Anyone who wants to lay down new tracks for their part, based on this arrangement, go for it, and post them here.
...or if the arrangement bites , suggest alterations...

[kara]

 
A very fun song 
Interesting mix you did Oren, you put quite some work in this and the result is top notch
