3 guitar tracks followed by a track with the trap set. A lot of alt tuning lately posted on AT which I like. This guitar was tuned to an open G. After I did it, I thought the sound was more like a backwoods, hillbilly song.
Unfortunately…
Oh well, nothing like going to a middle school music function to break writers block, all those posters and flare about achievement...
Special thanks to my sons middle school band, The Preston Pumas playing at the end !

I have issues at my house, sometimes they manifest themselves in my tracks. In this case, the bassoon and oboe represent the mouse. The guitar is the peanut-butter.

@ vaIsvil, ya that's right! It was an accident. I just wanted to get a rough draft song down in my head. I had no idea the electric guitars could sound "plugged in" by just EQ tweaking post production The string strumming is pronounced but seems to keep the tempo...

Nice song - I did finally get around to listening to it :-) So this is literally unplugged hard bodied normally electric instruments - I've never heard of this being done before - awesome idea!!

No doubt you have heard parts of this before.
Guys - if I could play like this I would not be making a living as a chemist! This is a midi file I ran through pianoteq - I put this together in an hour this morning and I wanted to share before…
Stealin' Pumpkins off the vine...
Such good fun I do it all the time.
Single Gon Bops conga track miced for heavy bass. And 2 tracks of cow bell, of course.
4/4 200bpm
Had these backing tracks laying around on my drive for a while and didn't know what to do with them, so grabbed my Ebow and a fretless electric that I built for myself a couple years ago and had a go. My fretless playing is really in its infancy…
Found this track from 1998 - I'm on a Time kick I guess...
Time waits for no one
We are all adrift
Finding ourselves in space
All Lost
Where is my Home?
Where is my Home?
Where is my Home?
Where is my Home?
Time waits for no…
Wrote all the lyrics and most of the melody for this song in one sitting during a particularly busy period in my life.
Just an indulgent little jazz tune poking fun at myself... those who know me well will instantly recognise the lyrics as…
An exercise in dissecting a well known song to see what makes it tick. Drums are looped, bass is not in tune, guitar is not quite right, but I'm slowly getting there. Will update this later. Somewhen...
It's not unusual to chase your girl around with a dull axe, is it? Just kidding - This was 60 tracks and almost a year to finish. I had some help:
Guitars: Tony W
Fadeout Solo: Gnasty
Acoustic/Rhythm Guitars: Me
Phone Message: Tony W &…
Well, I had this crazy idea that *maybe* Buddy Guy was using some microtonal inflections in his cover of Tramp (which are what the "blue notes" are and thought it would be cool to cover it with my fretless guitar. As it turned out it was my ear…
electric mandolin on 3 tracks - 2 bowed (right and left) with viola bow and 1 strummed just a bit and mostly ebowed (center)

drum loops sliced and diced
We went to visit my dad at his assisted living facility and they have a Yamaha Clavinova on which I improvised for a half hour to provide some entertainment. This is a ~ 3 minute excerpt from about half way through. This was recorded on my Zoom…

Nice work! I enjoyed your smokey vox.

Cool bass and guitar sounds! Great vocals!

beautiful tune
your percussion mojo keeps getting better and better. the cow bell really drives this home. great groove.
K, the fretless was exactly what was needed. excellent playing as usual.
but wait, theres a floydish Animals ingredient too in that bouncy bass
wow ! very cool, I like the big open smokey jazz lounge feel
fuzzfilth ! great tune. I think it sounds great as is.
cool sounds, really like this tune, crisp
of corse this is excellent. the sound clips are a really cool addition, I have a pic of Duke in the music room but have never heard his voice.
creative and tech great mix...and ah yes, that solo...Download
very cool tune. love the harp
cross-over rhythms are getting a little easier to follow, in large, do your your posts man ! keep em coming... sounding good.
wow, dude, I cant believe I missed this one, nice Ukulele - like the tone at the end and beginning.
great tune, well timed out and mixed too. I like the guitar notes and tone thoughout
Gritty, raw, cool Tramp tribute. I think the fretless guitar is excellent. perc matches the raw feel.
I like the subtle progression- almost a rick wakeman feel near the second part. I like the simple ending too.
wow, strings really fill up the room. Great sound !
Im glad to see you back ! tight rhythm and cool new Fx's. the new room sounds good - almost like cherry wood...
cool rhythm, sounds like some FX on the bass drum too?
Nice improv. Something also to be said about doing songs in different locations too. background voices a plus.
yeaaaa baby!!!. dig this song. Nice collabatone!
