Found a interesting sounding indian instrument via the computer world and strummed out chords on my lil midi guitar. Added some percussion, strings and a flute.
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 was a collab between my old friend Joe and I from a couple years ago. I recorded the basic track and sent it to him so he could play the main melody/ guitar solo over it. I took the ending of the guitar solo section and reversed it to give…

Haven’t uploaded any material in ages! I have been building custom guitars which has been taking up some of my spare time. This track features my first guitar build which I am playing over a backing track.
Recorded this one as a test track to sync with the video I shot for it. I am not happy with the computer virtual amp guitar sound on this. I will re-record this and mic my amp for that real cranked 100 watt tube sound.

That’s some nasty slide you’re putting down. Ripping it with the Epiphone! Getting right down to the gristle...
...and thanks for listening to my songs and commenting.
This is an ode for a good friend of mine that had took his own life at the end of last year. I was in the midst of writing some other songs and it stopped me in my tracks. I just wrote basically how I felt about this tragic ending to a very special…
I'm sorry to hear about your friend.
I get scared sometimes when I'm alone too much & I think about the ways people who have taken their own lives affect me. I guess it's easy to understand that it's not a matter of finding a reason to do it; it's a matter of getting help before any action is taken, & somehow getting through the quicksand long enough to find a reason to be OK again.
I just bought a new Gibson SG Standard guitar with P90 pickups. I bought it after listening to Steve Krell's Gibson Gold Top with P90's.
Here is my first recording with the guitar.
Lyrics:
Sitting in my living room
Sunlight will be fading…
I once worked for a retail company in the computer industry. One of my fellow buyers took a job at another company, then returned six months later as a salesman for that company. This is a song of how he might have felt returning to the city…
Recorded last week in Sunny Leeds

I wrote this song at a bowling alley in my small hometown in the Panhandle of FL/Lower Alabama
She blew into town on a one night Stand
Over eggs there was no one holding her hand
Just like the sauce
She became a mystery
Just like the…

How many times did you wonder whether I would dare?

Another lyrically-challenged collaboration with jip1965, who sent me a guitar, bongo, percussion track with a recorder playing named, simply, 'Love'.
I added the piccolo, crystals and windchimes from my virtual keyboard, renamed it 'What is…

Shroom n' gloom! Man brings me back to a party at a mansion back in the day. Woke up in an empty bedroom on a hardwood floor and my shoe as a pillow! Nice imagery you created here. Has a Door'sy vibe.
A song about my wife. Recorded 2005.
I'd just taught myself how to play piano (badly).
I'd always wanted to be Freddie Mercury when I was younger... still got a bit of a ways to go.

Space blues. Dig it!
I was in on the first note! Gnarly guitar playin! Killer tones as well.
The title alone left me wondering and you delivered. We should never forget about that damn monkey.
Oh man. Heartfelt and most of us here can relate. Done very nicely GC.
Some good midwest rock guys. Go Bears!
Love those guitars and that groove.
Unique style here. Very good production!
Good song here. Simple and sincere.
Oooh like the janglin chords! I am thinking a lil Spirit in the sky with this groove.
Nice! Love the slowed down version.
Man, drawn in as soon as the first notes appear. These are very nice pieces you have created. :)
Sounds like Elvis fronting Tears for Fears covering the Beatles. This is pretty damn inventive.
For 1min long its a great performance.
Incredible:)
Love your voice....great music)
Love the wha wha guitars panned around at the intro. Guitar heaven on this one.
Oh yeah! Nice recording! This is superb! Love those guitars.
Nice ambience to the track. The vocals and music compliment each other.
Shroom n' gloom! Man brings me back to a party at a mansion back in the day. Woke up in an empty bedroom on a hardwood floor and my shoe as a pillow! Nice imagery you created here. Has a Door'sy vibe.
This one is incredible...had to listen again.
