Rik sampled on Gotye track
Current international sensation Goyte features an obscure sample from an old Star Licks instructional guitar tape featuring yours truly on his song “A Distinctive Sound”. It’s amusing, clever, & an honour that my energy gets to play a small part in someone else’s process. Check out Goyte’s track and listen in for Rik around the 5:25 mark…
