This was the first in this set of 3 songs I am posting. I was gaining alot of inspiration from the likes, of Justin Currie and Jackson Browne at the time.
Recorded using Reaper DAW & Jamstix virtual drummer software.
In my late teens I was in a hard rock band and this was one of our songs. This recording is not the band but myself doing all the instruments and vocals. Our singer Kevin wrote the lyrics but I forgot some of the lines and adlibbed a bit of it…
This is a lil tune I had written over fifteen years ago. It is one of my favorite progressions and I figure in the near future to record a full band arrangement with vocals. This is just a ruff take working out a melody over the changes.
Oh yet another nostalgic blast from the past. I found this unbelievable backing track surfing the web some years ago. I usually never use backing tracks because they usually suck bad . But this one is like having mitch and noel at your side. I…

Aww... how does you make your strat sound like that? lol
Mine used to sound like that but I seem to have mellowed. I'm going to have to refind this vibe.
Now, do you have version of Stone Free hiding in the vaults? If so, I want to hear it.

I agree with Bee. This pulled me back to the time when I had hair that went all the way across the top.
I think I'm going to have to pour myself a bowl of Wheaties (Breakfast of Champions) before I listen again. I need energy to keep up with all those licks.

I took an old track that was a cover of Hear my train and dropped the vocals and added some new electric guitar tracks. I had just upgraded my recording setup and was testing some hardware and software when I did this. It has a punchy lil guitar…

Yesterday's the past, tomorrow's the future, but today is a gift.
The cat is on the chair
And I watch him as he stares
The sky is changing fast
I see the boats sail past
And the winter's closing in
I can feel the changes from within
Tomorrow…
Whispers for dark words in my subconscious
The belief that reality doubles with your delusions
A thought that a handshake was once considered currency
Or a realization that man is the only predator you fear
Radioactive soul
Ain't got nothin…
I started this thinking it would be a tune with the emphasis on my guitar but as it progressed I heard horns and then all these other things happened and this is what I ended up with.
Well, this started with a ukulele riff and then kind of took off from there. I enjoyed rockin' with the uke ... added a guitar rhythm, a bass track some drums and vocals and here we go! I've played in a few bars over the years and have seen my…

Deep dark...surf? Wowza!
Yeahhhh! This used to be my opening number when I was gigging years ago. Perfect for over the top lead guitar lunacy :)
Definitely should go all out with this one...
Yep, can't fave it twice sadly lol This is the one ringing in my ears as I stagger off to the broom-cupboard and switch on a few guitars and stuff...
GOOSEBUMPS!!! ..think I've busted the favourite button...!

I think your vocal is great too. It's ideal for the track. Excellent stuff! Bethan
