Different recording here as the electric guitar, bass guitar were not plugged in, just recorded raw with a power mic and then EQ'ed to make it sound amped - pardon mistakes!

Duh! Now I get it. Electric guitar and bass recorded without benefit of amplifier or direct plug into a mixer. Way cool! And the added bonus of the percussion effect of your fingers against the strings - advancing the status of your chordophones to that of a percussion instrument!
I don't think I have heard a recording like this before.

Excellent! I think the recording sounds great... but then that's how I record everything. Dig the whistleing reverb.
I was surprised that your phone didn't ring while you had the open mics on...
jqscutt posted the acoustic guitar track looking for ideas, not sure if it turned into the genre he was looking for :)
The auuuggga horn sound was another classic unplanned phone interruption during the vocal recording but it seems to fit in…

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 !

An Original Hojo Riff, soon to be a classic. Recorded on Pro Tools featuring a '67 Tele and an acoustic Larrivee. The drum track needs help, any suggestions?
Vocals: Tricia Dovidio
Lyrics: Bob Beckley
Composed, arranged & mixed by Steffen Offermann
This one was tricky to do because the piano does not play at a fixed tempo, and it was an online collaboration (like all my collaborations).

5/4 120bpm.
I started off with an idea to record some harmonized diminished arpeggios and the other riffs just happened along the way. Inspired by Dethklok, hope you like it.
In the 90s I was in a band called "Tainted Angel" and we played this in a bar and after the first time people were calling out requests for it all night, so I ended up playing it about fifteen times that night, without receiving even one tip or…
This is a tune I picked up from alonetone a while back. Johnny did a piano version of "I'd Love to Change the World", and Michael Thomas from Cave Street added the outstanding vocals.
When Michael told me he was doing the vox on it, I wanted…
You never would have caught me playing this genre a few years ago. WHat the hell happened ??
All the instruments were recorded with an open mic at my house. Which, as you know is always a chaotic place to record :) If you listen hard enough…
Thanks for the comments guys - Richard, you are right on, I should bring up the cello volume. It sounds perfect in the car but diminishes on my computer speakers. - cheers
Final version of this tune - voice and guitar, banjoe accompaniment
i'm still getting used to this new mic and finding my voice sounds different with or i'm singing differently because of it. So .. feedback appreciated, and if you like it…
Jamming with a couple buddies. I screwed the lyrics up but it was fun to do. Who doesn't want to at least try an AC/DC tune?

Very nice man!@ I have tried that method of recording with an electric but did not get the results you did!
Procrastination unite...Well executed song man! Your vocals are smooth..
Why do today what you can put off until tomorrow?! Great song!

Good song and different sound, nice.
Amen.Defy labels.

The gunshot makes me smile everytime
Real nice Reef. Pro level track man.
Love the cello. Love the harmonies. Love the backing guitar work. Hate the phone. Your phone is the devil.
You are definately not living in middle C. Let me know when you hear that knocking at the door, so we can both charge through it...
I love the music and the vocals are excellent.
Sounds great fun. Lovely atmosphere!
Cool little ditty, love the vocal effect (I think Alice Cooper used it in one of his songs) but worked really well.
Excellent!
Another beauty.....loved it
excellent.....
This is brilliant
