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…

Tasty.
Does sound very summery - almost enough to block out the rain going on here.
Maybe it's cos I'm a guitarist, but I felt no "rambling on" without the vocal. It's almost got an Allman Brothers vibe to it.
Just realised I hadn't listened to this...
There's quite an amazing breadth of styles you handle. I feel like I do electric stuff and acoustic stuff, but it's all pretty much rock-pop with hints of blues, country, and folk in varying degrees. The only time I step out of this is if I approach the recording machine without a finished song and just wing it (rarely finish any of those though!).
Another nice one :-)
lol - that'll teach me to post before the owner has fixed the title etc...
Good excuse to give it a second listen. And reading the "About" now - yeah, I thought David Bowie when I was listening to "75e67 c5 etc" (actually, that might have been what made me think of David Bowie!)
A bit of comic relief is good when you have some writers block. I had he song mapped out years before I recorded it. I need to record its companion "Won't you please squeeze my udder Farmer Joe?".
Did this many years ago. It came together very quickly. There are know synths, all guitars and backwards vocals, sped up vocals, detuned vocals.....whacked sounds. I wrote the lyrics on the spot. I love its deep personal message...lol!
This one kind of sneaks up on me. First listen didn't grab me a lot - nice guitars and all, but...
Second listen, I was right there. Nice groove and cool song on top of it.
Yeah, I can here all sorts of progression going on in these tracks. But even here you can tell you've got the ears. You've had a big effect on me the last few days - not sure what I'm recording next, but I can tell you the acoustic is sat on it's stand looking worried now!! lol
Hello I'm Taylor and this is my first single. I wrote this back in 2011 without intention of releasing it, but after my best friend committed suicide in February of 2012, I decided to release it and dedicate it to him. So this is for you, David.

Good song! My feet are tapping! Let's hear the story about the Allman Bros concert.

These damn dead guys are always playin slide guitar better than me! First Duane Allman and now Cobain! Lol!
Your slide guitar sounds like Kurt Cobain haha very well done man!

Very cool, yeah, it kinda sounds like one first few tracks on Bowie's Low album.
That is crazy how it showed that info before I processed all info...

Haaa! Maybe this is better.
Like this one. Kinda tricky lyric though - I can see why you haven't sung it lol
Haa...doesnt feel much like Christmas these days....hi temps today 106 degrees....it was 116 on tuesday....
Merry Christmas ....".
lol Been trying to make some sort of reasoned critique/comment, but I'm laughing too much
Now this one grabbed me immediately. Really well put together.

Ah, THE main man, this should get some response, the great human to walk the Earth, Jimi, or was he ??!!??!!
A really fine song.....great sounds...

Nice one, very punchy.

Holy Moses...Incredible!
Very nice tribute.
Good track here. Diggin it.
I like it....cool take on it.
Lead master! Nice playin!
Solid track!
Great track...one of the best I have heard yet! Superb!
Right off the bat you know its great. Fabulous. A special.musician right here.
Nice biting soloing man! You on FIRE!
Cruisin a hog with a babe on the back . Thats what I am feelin here.
With a milk chaser....like that solo tone in there. Nice playin!
Hell yeah....always slammin the blues. Feel like I am in a texas roadhouse.
Really dig what you did here. Totally captured it.
Vocals sound like Phil Lynott on this one. Without the drums the guitars create a chaotic setting. Cool approach.
Reminds me a bit of Beck. Especially your vocal. Outside the box approach intrigues me here.
Alot of blues in these song. Add it to the list of goodies. :)
That is so cool. Nice songwriting. Would I be correct in saying you wrote this in like a stream of consciousness approach? A very warm song . Lovely.
Thats pretty inventive. Almost sounds like a koto sometimes. The section at 2:50 sounds very Jimmy Page-ish.
Has a old Ziggy Stardust feel. Those cool Mick Ronson like double guitars and dark lead tone.
Holy shit! Its Louis Armstrong! Belting it out right out the gate. Heavy Low Down Blues. Neat track!
