Description : The reason for making this song was my trip through the Delta. It's flat just like Holland and I was touched by the poverty I saw and learned a lot about the history. I was aware of this because I've red a lot about it. Now I was there and saw it with my own eyes. At Dockery"s Plantation I felt the presence of so much blues. This is the first time I sing a song so don't judge me too hard on this because it took a lot of courage to do it.

Daniel,
Thank you for all nice reviews you have send. It's really an honor for a guitarplayer to get these reviews from a guitarteacher. I can't read music, most of the time I improvise the lead parts. I started as a basplayer. I think that's good because I had to learn about scales. And now I see them as patterns on the neck of my Strat.
And I was lucky I met some good (jazz) musicians who taught me a lot.
No we don't have a CD yet. That depends on how fast we write and produce more songs. I hope at the end of this year we will have a CD. Then I send one copy to you I promise. But I can sent you a wav of this song in high quality.

Thanks,
that you like my song.
Yes you have to go to the Delta. A lot of the original Deltablues is gone already. In our small country we have about 250 bluesbands so how could you have missed it?

Thank you, Slap.
Actually it's the first time I play slide on a Strat with a normal E-tuning with a Line 6 Toneport UX2. I've red you have one. Preset Crunch guitar Light Brown. I normally us the Strat for lead guitar so I did not change the height of strings. Because my hands are to small for normal slide playing I use it as a lapguitar.
To do this in a good way you have to play very precise with a soft touch. The effect of the preset gives it a Joe Walsh style. Advantage of normal E tuning is that the riff patterns are the same. Normally I play slide on a resonator with D-tuning but slowly I see the advantage of normal E-tuning.

This is a fun little blues groove. Like the little breakdown in the middle. Nice harp solo and excellent slide guitar. Very cool. Curious to see what else you got coming. Welcome to the smoothest music community site on the planet, looperman.com. Peace and Love, Six

Hi there,
Well, since you gave me a review meant for someone else, I decided to go ahead and listen to your song. I liked it actually as it had a good live sound to it. The guitar and Harmonica were good. The singing, I have heard worse...and I don't sing at all. So thanks for sharing your song with us, and if you have time, give a listen to my Blues song called 'Blues 101'.
It is a 2 part song with acoustic/slide and the second is a Fender strat/slide with a 'crunchy sound' at a little faster tempo. No Singing in it. I did much of it with Pro-Tools software, and sample/loop disk as far as the Drums. (I played guitar and Bass)

Description : A hard hip hop track with some heavy metal influences. Hope you enjoy it! A neon cyberpunk hip hop track, it imagines a man when he conquers the world and the challenges he has to face through.

Description : It was one of those lazy Saturdays and I was like "Lemme open FL Studio and see wassup", and this is what I came up with. It was an experimental track with MychMych's acapella, but I ended up enjoying the vibe.
I hope y'all can vibe with it!

I found that sample; I don't remember if it was the Mandrils or not, but after chopping, splicing and dicing, the painting sounded amazing! I had to put pencil to paper (it was 2010). Before I knew it, maybe 20 mins went by and I was done.

I created, wrote, recorded, arranged, mixed and put a small master on it in about an hour. I added a good music friend Jus J. to the end about a week later.

You won't be disappointed.
