No, it's not about my life !!!

All I remember is I wanted to play with my harmonica (a bit like when El Hefe wants to play trumpet in NOFX, I guess). The melody is in part similar to/got suggested to me by/ Fats Waller's 'Ain't Misbehavin'. The vocal explosion resource at…

Bits and Pieces

This one went through many iterations before turning into what you hear. A key breakthrough came when I stumbled upon that keyboard part for the verses. That opened the whole thing up.

There is no reverb on any vox parts in this one. I loved how I was able to get the tone of the voices to have that mid-60s sound. This was aided by the fact I am running through an emulation of the Abbey Road mixing desk. ;)

No offense meant to my English friends. ;) I grew up there as a kid, so we have common cause. Anyway, this song is more about the struggle between the material and spiritual, doing the right thing when you are called upon, etc. Hope you enjoy!

As you may have picked up on, there's a lot this year about soldiering on when your world has been destroyed. So, this is a song of hope. Have faith, have faith...

You are loved, imperfect as you may be. It's easy to hate yourself, but hard to do the opposite. This song holds out that hand to pull you up.

This one was a hard one to nail. The Wurlitzer riff was something I accidentally played and fell in love with immediately, so I needed to write a song that enhanced the mood that the tone of the Wurly evoked. The sound is so empty and spacious…

Defiance, self-doubt, hubris, failure, choosing...It's all here to hear. The title is a nod to my love of a certain guitar player and singer from a late 60's act; who's solo records were even better. The vibrato guitar is inspired by him…

When your world is destroyed as you know it, the ability to overcome and renew yourself is a very steep ascent. It may take years, and this song is about that struggle to 'let it go'

It is easy to mock and ridicule, but much harder to learn and understand. Overcoming our own pig-headedness may be our biggest personal challenge. This song thinks about that. I also was rather happy with how my Telecaster sounds in the rhythm…

This is a song I wrote this week, trying to capture that strange emotion you sometimes feel during times of great milestones in your life - good things happening, changes, moving on. Joy and melancholy all at the same time. Everyone feels it…

This is the first song I have made with FL Studio since I got it. I am really liking the sound I am getting.

A slight nod to the Doors on this one....... THOSE WERE THE DAYS MY FRIEND Aged Dm Am 18 getting drunk till midnight confusing truth with lies waking in the streets at daybreak wide awake with the sunrise high enough to fly a kite,trying…

Started off going some where else, ended up with this !!!

Was messing about one day and this was the result.

I doubled all the lines to help me and a friend learn the song. There is a shortened version on down the page if you don't want to have to hear every line repeated. THE CIRCLE OF NO REGRETS Video - https://www.facebook.com/reel/629088762494393Capo…

Radioactive drum kit mess

A remix to the ever popular Coco. Don't hesitate to leave a comment. and if you like it, holla at me.

This is a song I wrote based on a saying attributed to Jesus in the Hadith (Islamic tradition) that I was exposed to. The first verse and the chorus are directly form that. The second and third verse are something I wrote. With all respect and…

The best love song ever produced

In this track the guitar melodies and solos are based on an unusual scale John McLaughlin (of Mahavishnu Orchestra fame) liked to use. It's basically a Phrygian Dominant scale with the flat-6 removed.

Just when the guitar solos start to become boring they become robotic.
