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.
You guys captured that feeling of driving dog tired...the guitars give that feeling of an endless road night. Very nice.
Sorry to here about your friend Dave, God bless.
Haaa! I love the concept! The music fits perfect with the pondering of steel plates w/ small gussets and 3/8" holes....I deal with that jargon myself....great tune.
The production of this song was influenced by Paul McCartney's song "Sing the Changes"
He Calls Me
I’ll climb rugged mountains
I’ll swim through the sea
I’ll walk hills and valleys
My Lord is calling me
Oh, He calls me,
Yes, He calls me…
New original from me, hot off the old wotsit.
When it was half written yesterday, I was considering binning it as a throwaway exercise - I do that quite often. But I played the songwriting demo to someone else and, er, apparently I should finish…

This is an oldie. Recorded in 2005. It was the first recording I finished on a DAW, but I'd played it a lot in the last band I was in (around the turn of the century). I think it was written in the mid 90s. It's about one of the casualties of…
Holy shit....another epic cut! What you couldnt extend it another 4 seconds to make it a full 6min? This is excellent work , Quadrophenia meets the boys of Lizzy. Your a marauder!
Rock instrumental. Recorded Christmas 2008.
I'd struggled with a DAW. I'd stopped recording. And then my lovely wife got me a Boss MBR for Christmas. I thought this little thing the size of a fag-packet would be a nice "scratch-pad" songwriting…
A cover of Larry Wallis's fine ditty (it's always been one of my favourite Dr Feelgood songs).
This was my second recording with my Boss MBR, recorded early 2009. It confirmed for me that I was a "standalone recorder" kind of guy, and there was…
I missed this one....Sweet playin Andrew. I love the sound of those double tracked rythym gtr....and the verb on the lead is perfect as well as tge playing.
I can't quite believe that I'm posting this, or that I've even recorded it. But I've played it like this sat on the sofa in the living room for many years, and I needed something to check out how to record a live "one vocal and one guitar" song…
Billy said on his Everyday track he had some space for some words.. so i put a few together .....Thanks Billy

A guitar tone with mondo gonads and drums similar to Mr.Bonham pounding away. Very unique creation here...maybe only similar to Zappa. Enjoyed the listen!

This is what is known as a "hostile takeover".
MCOBigBen wrote the song and gave Tim the multitracks.
Tim chopped and edited away, adding guitars, backing vocals, and various production.
Grant added drums.
Ben still hasn't heard it at this point....

Some beautiful music right here. Helping me ease into the work day.
The verb on the squeeky strings is awesome...nice choice. Very isolated vibe you set on these tunes.:)
