The story cracked me up. Your fretless guitar would be perfect for slide guitar, i'm learning slide some now , easy to do basic style but hard to be great at it as are all things.
Great vocal on this tune,i'm impressed.

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…

Here it is baby: This is your best vocal work ever... not nearly as sexy as the sister's rendition (and I love the shock value of a girl singing this one – I really hope that gem gets posted too) but your enthusiasm is infectious and it brings me joy to hear you torturing your fretless guitar. Was that a bit of a laugh I heard at one point? Well, it works for you. Call me country…
Trap set? We don’t need no stinking trap sets. Tambourine, cajón and cymbals.

Just another obscure saint. Not much known about him. Probably much more important and significant than any of us will ever realize.
Oh, yeah, and then there is Saint Simon. Same thing for him.
RIP Alex.
3 Congas, Vintage Bass Cocktail…
With huge thanks to the awesomeinfinity Jake, Wrinkled Shirt, who let me use his gorgeous instrumental track "Gaza".
The sun left the city, from the ground
Moonlight woke up, falling down
Why are you scared, free as a bird
Now that the heat…
This one is still in progress, Jon the guitarist sent me a riff which i stuck together to get a kinda structure...so this is take 1....

That mockingbird mocks me with your name
I'm still not over you and it's causing…
In case you are in the mood today to kick some ass with Mike and me.

Reg is watching the news again ......and it always gets him thinking.....

Some are wanting
some have all they need
some are bleeding
getting down on their knees
some are congregating
to start another war
some…
wherever you happen to be
she's not too far behind
looking for her apology
you know she'll never find it
it's the same song that she sings
and it drowns out everything
as she's chasing after you in the rain
all the wrong ways that i went…
This is the first time I have played in drop D
this is a Springsteen song that he borrowed the title from a Pete Seeger song..and I like the way Warren Haynes plays it live...so here is my humble attempt at it...
Just like two sides
Of the same silver dollar
We’re not alike but still the same
And your big life
Makes mine look smaller
I wonder if you know my name
I wait around
You might be calling
A telephone that never rings
End of the day…
My first attempt to work with loops I created using midi.
With Mr Sandbags (reichatron). There's a really cool version with guitar added by Mac somewhere too, but it's weirdly vanished! Will add as soon as I find it.

Gritty, raw, cool Tramp tribute. I think the fretless guitar is excellent. perc matches the raw feel.
There's certainly a kernel of something really good here. I'll stay tuned!
The story cracked me up. Your fretless guitar would be perfect for slide guitar, i'm learning slide some now , easy to do basic style but hard to be great at it as are all things. Great vocal on this tune,i'm impressed.
Badass, yawl. I can attest BG is microtonal having seen him, his strings bends are often slightly sharp, an amazing gtrist when he wants to be.
I'm digging this raw riff, actually the whole piece is raw...nice!
Nice tune, sounds like Jimmy Page material

Everything I like. Distorted guitars, solid bass line, serious percussion, Hardly a train wreck Sir. It rocks.
Perfect ending!!
Damn, you parked this one right in between the flats and sharps. There's a lot to listen to.
If I lived closer to you, I would drag a couple conga drums along and join you at the retirement facility! Very honorable!
I love that you take the time to entertain people who may not otherwise get the opportunity. And a fine performance too!
Recorded great for live , well done.
The residents are really lucky to have your dad with them - look at the perks they get.
nice sound, nice improvisation! thank you Vaisvil
What a nice thing for you to do. Well done!
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 !
Clavinova is a cool instrument w/top sound and keyb quality. I have one :-)
Talented you are, nice progression.
