I *think* I like this one more(?)
Feels a bit like more of a "guitarists" version? I was much more aware of "hey cool guitar" than one the other one.
I think it's one where you can do unlimited versions, and they're all as good as each as other and you won't be able to decide! LOL
I am currently working on a Concept album with a good friend of mine and great musician/ guitarist Chuck D. Although this track does not feature Chuck , it was developed based on the chord progression he came up with which opens the song up. We…

I threw this one together tonite/early am...yawnnnnn. Not an exact replica but always a tribute to Jimi's music. I was originally turned on to do this by some new free vst effects I found on the net. A cool fuzz face vst that is very realistic…
Having more fun with Hendrix. I tried to stay true to the original as far as using no overdubs. Just one guitar, bass, drum and vocal track. Kind of used a mix approach and used a bit from the record and a bit from his live performance in Winterland…
My first thought, honestly, was, oh boy, someone's messing with Jimi again . . . then I pressed play. This one is done with reverence, my friends. Excellent cover. Dig.

Such clean acoustic guitar sound. Like the way it grows/builds...how the sound of the voice fills out. Cool voice and song. Starts to sound like the Beatles at the end.

I can't say just what it is I like about this but I do like it. Sophisticated yet primitive, world music sounds... I don't remember hearing anything quite like it.

Solo acoustic finger picking thing I've been working on for a while. Sometime around 1968 I started studying with Mr. George Bennett who taught me the rudiments of finger picking. Later when we played some gigs together he also taught me the rudiments…

I asked my love to take a walk
Just a little old walk. Just a little old walk
Down beside where the waters flow
Down by the banks of the Ohio
If you’ll just say that you’ll be mine
And in no other’s arms entwine
Down by the banks where the…
Many thanks to Greg Connor for helping me with this track...I have been playing this Lindsey Buckingham / Fleetwood Mac song for a while, but could never sing it...so I recorded the acoustic guitar and sent it to Greg and he added outstanding…
Leave your best behind
They say your life is nothing more
Than the blinking of an eye
And everything you say or do
In a moment flashes by
And in the end what is left of you
Are the memories that unwind
They tell the tale of the one they…
Here is a John Lee Hooker Song that Buck and I used to sing in Duluth. We were playing in a group called *"THE LARRYS"*
I love Bucks harmony on this!
I moved away a couple years ago, and Buck stopped by for a visit last Friday. As you can…

Oh yeah, this is a goodie. Love the sound. And that guitar playing with the old whammy - very tasty.
Wow the high register guitar tone is distinctive and super expressive. the back beat chord strokes are too cool. Faved
Instant fave! Absolutely gorgeous! A must share on our FB page! w;-)
Another good'n. Has some very beautiful and unusual chord changes in there. Takes me to some faraway windswept island.
very pretty and uplifting, hadn't heard this one yet.
Ya had me with the first lick. Nice. I love this song and this is a great cover of it. :)
My first thought, honestly, was, oh boy, someone's messing with Jimi again . . . then I pressed play. This one is done with reverence, my friends. Excellent cover. Dig.
Nice. :). Do I hear a KORG in there? T-series or M-series maybe?
*click* instant fave! Love the groove! w;-)
Nice voice AND MELODY.

Really nice! Keep on!
Awesome.
Big Sound I hope we get a chance to hear the whole album.

There's nothing better than getting your voice back! Great track :)
