Yeah...
I wanna get one of my strats out - but it's past my bedtime... (it's certainly past the neighbour's bedtime anyway lol).
Loved it.
I'll be back for more :-)
At first I thought "he's uploaded, er, a recording of Jimi"! lol
Brilliant, captured the feel of the riff, the way he double-tracked parts, the whole thing...
Loved it.
Recorded over 10 yrs. Ago on my Zoom 10 track. It was the second tune I cut just messin with the chord changes. It has a very urban vibe and reminded me of cruising lake shore drive in Chicago.
This was also recorded over 10 yrs. Ago. I dig the middle eastern flavor chords and tones. It was my acoustic straight into the multitrack via a Dean Markley pickup.
This is a beautiful song from Joni Mitchell. My friend had his 50th birthday and this was my gift, I played it live at his party and recorded it later (4-2-2011)in my livingroom.
It's one take, can't mis that if you listen to it all the way…
Joni is the ultimate. I just listened to Ladies of the canyon album 4 times the other day. Love the way you interpret it here. one of my faves! Love you keeping tge honesty in the take. ;)
Another one from back when I was tracking to actual tape. Was going to do a new version at some point, but decided I had lost interest. Sometimes there's no sense in recreating the past! Recorded probably the beginning of 2007
Our history was held in objects and places. We didn't realize as children that we were standing amongst the ashes of the loves of our ancestors. Still, we knew back then that love was possible and that we'd all move mountains for it.
"Autumn Leaves" is a much-recorded popular song. Originally it was a 1945 French song "Les feuilles mortes" (literally "The Dead Leaves") with music by Joseph Kosma and lyrics by poet Jacques Prévert.
Since then it was translated into English…
Who's that knocking at the door
It's the sand
In the wind
with the truth and more
Seagull in the sky
Soar like an Eagle
Pray in sights
Fly in to the sea
Dive down deep
You will find me
Only then you rise
Phoenix flys
To golden hights…
A song about, well, s**t happens, but all in all, it's alright. Thanks to TwoRegs (singing), Freight Drive Reprobate (singing and harmonica)and Lady Jane (Singing in posh mode). Hope you like.
This is one of those I made it up as I went along songs. Started with some chords to a click track and well it just had a life of it's own. Loosely based on some personal musical memories and a fantastic musician I had the pleasure of playing…
The Hammered Dulcimer melody haunted me for weeks, but it didn't come together until Jamie played drums on it. Takes a long time to pay off, but I hope if you hang with it, you'll dig where it gets too.
Love your playing big time! I knew something big time was gonna happen...nice payoff. That lead guitar tone is vary similar to Andy Timmons ....it has that slight fuzziness to it. Enjoyed what u cats did here.
Another with the £16 special.......We know he isn't really i mean he's here with me now in the cellar............
HE’S GONE (lYRICS)
IT WAS A CARELESS LOVE THAT TOOK HIM AWAY
OF COURSE THERE WAS NEVER GONNA BE THE RIGHT KINDA DAY
TO SAY GOODBYE…
Another collab with Jip, with me adding the vibes, pad of the orient, flute and vocals.
From the original da da da da das before I came up with any lyrics, I wasn't happy with any of the melodies. This is the result of me getting bored with…
This is a song I have just recently finished recorded over the summer in my basement using all live recordings of real instruments (intro vocals were recorded literally on a cliffside), and this is the first of more to come. It's a song about…
in bed - cant sleep
go downstairs to pour a drink
the acs out, its hot as shit
but you learn to get used to it
since you left, its been hard
leavin early from parties and bars
you wont pick up, you're over it
its been a while, im used to it…
Let's buy decency,
And we'll stitch into the arms of our sweaters,
Cause I'm just a fool,
With an acoustic guitar, no shimmer.
I used to read books,
If they held my attention I still might.
The callous on my thumbs,
Say I stay up and…

Holy shit love it! a very similar style to Mike Stern. Can listen all day!
Hell yeah, Beach Boys harmonies to the T! Incredible!
I remember learning the changes and melody as a youngster but had never heard the song before. Great playin on a classic jazz standard.
Dark and heavy departure but a very bold statement .
Psychedelic big time!
This is an Allstar cast...and absolutely love it. Came together really well!
Automatic fave! Like where your music comes from and where it takes us.
Top notch players. Im all in and faved!
Love your playing big time! I knew something big time was gonna happen...nice payoff. That lead guitar tone is vary similar to Andy Timmons ....it has that slight fuzziness to it. Enjoyed what u cats did here.
Mick Ronson would be proud of this riffage and tone.
That is some cool layering of vocals over a laid back.and hip.groove. Nice collab!
Love it. Super talent.
Really good songwriting and all. Top track.
That is some layered madness....that comes together well.
I dig this. This may sound a bit 60's but it has a hip Shoegaze genre quality.
Sweet tune.
Man that has a very Beatlesque feel....especially the vocal.....very Lennon like...
Reminds me of Tal Farlow. Love that style. Very nice playing over those changes.
Not enough of this music around anymore. Very nice.
