Description : This is a v e r y s l o w Blues song in 'C' tuning. Uses slide guitar. So if you like the slide guitar sound, this song is for you. The drums are loops, the rest is me.
Hope you like it.

    Hi there Kikajon,
    Late is ok..ha ha. I have 29 songs up and don't expect everyone to listen to them all . This song I really liked doing as it gave me a chance to do more bluesy type of tune that I also like.
    Will check out your page,

    Amazing, I love the varity in the music you post, I love slide guitar, I have tried many times and I am terrible at it, tried all sorts of dvds and books and nothing good. This so amazing, just great, I don't even know what else to write. Great job!!!

    Hi again....well it looks like your enjoying my variety of tunes. Slide guitar isn't all that hard actually. Just need to tune to an open tuning and practice sliding from chord to chord, then try single strings.
    Before you know it, you'll feel more and more comfortable with sliding.
    Since I play pedal steel as well, it was fairly easy for me, as I learned steel first which is a lot harder.

    Take care and thanks for the review,
    Randy

    Randall, I just loved the sound on your slide guitar is it a telecaster? I ask you, certainly sounds like one.
    Some great playing what amp you using or is it direct into the desk?
    I play slide but not as good as this.
    I'm gonna listen again cos it was right up my street.
    There don't seem to be many guitar players on here which is a pity......nevermind.........loved it.....keep em coming..........Dylanthermos.(Wales)

    Hello Dylanthermos.

    I appreciate you coming by and listening to one of my few Blues tunes. I believe on this one I used my Strat mostly. Being tuned to an open 'C', makes it sound a lot different.
    On a couple of my other Blues tunes, I used my Tele. Sometimes I switch around during a tune just to give a song a different 'color'.

    I always go in direct so as not to get amp hum and by using the many software RTAS or VST's I have.

    One my very first Blues song which is slow like this one, I am using an acoustic guitar with that has a 3 band graphic built into the LACE pickup. That one is a Mitchel guitar.
    I also own a Resonator (Dobro) guitar that I use and you can hear that sound easily as it is quite different sounding than any other guitar. That is in some Blues and country songs I have up too.

    Thanks again,
    Randy

    Classic, and classy, awesome playing. I too would count my self in as one who would love to see you playing this live. Thick and juicy sound. Loved every second of that.

    Hi Jeff,
    Hey, I appreciate you checking out some more of my tunes. Voodoo Swamp Blues has been out for quite awhile. I entered it into the John Lennon song contest, but didn't win.

    Slide guitar is fun and takes time to learn it.
    Anyways, glad you liked it....I'll do another sometime soon.

    Bye now,

    Hi there Filaosoul,

    Guess I was recomending this song to you and you already played it. lol
    Anyways, I am glad you liked it. As I mentioned, I entered this in a song contest, so we'll see what happens in March if I get just a notable mention or a win.

    Thanks for the nice comments...and I did check out your other tunes.

    This is true blues, man. My feet are practically sticking to the dirty bar room floor in some blues bar in the French Quarter after listening to this track. You should be proud of your effort. Excellent!

    Hi there BadDaddy,

    This is the first I have heard of you and so thanks for reviewing my tune. Actually since there are almost 115,000 members and over 11,000 tracks from day 1, no wonder.

    Just impossible to listen to everyones songs and so you pick and choose the genre you like to listen to.

    I am glad you liked it. I had fun making it.
    I enjoy making music in the 3 genre that I like the most.
    Country, Blues and Rock. So most all my tunes will be one of those types.
    I will listen to one of your songs and comment on it soon as I am at work now.

    Thanks again,
    Randy

    Hi Johhny,
    Yeah....I guess you were away for time...but glad to have you back now. Happy that you liked this slow blues tune.
    Took me awhile to make it, but it was worth it. It seems the slower you go in this type of music, the more stuff you can squeeze in. lol

    I don't believe that I have listened to any of your music in awhile, so I will have to check out your tracks and see what's new.

    At the moment I am working on a country tune...and at the end, thowing in a Cajun part right from the Louisana bayou.
    Yes, perhaps we can do something later on in a Blues song...that would be fun. I'll let you know when I start another one.

    Thanks for reviewing my song and your nice comments.

    Hi ya Slap,
    Thanks a lot for reviewing my Voodoo Swamp song. That one took some work for sure. I appreciate your comments very much.

    I admire your work very much as well. Being a music teacher has to be one of the best jobs out there.....seeing people progress from not knowing how to properly hold an instrument, to see them one day in concert.
    Your son is already proof of that goal.
    Thanks again,
    Randy

    Hi Planet,
    Hey, you certainly have a way with words! :-)
    I am glad you liked the song and it inspires you to think of feeling like your actually in a swamp with the alligators, mosquitos, etc.

    I will review some more of your songs and everyone else here, once I get all the replies written to those who left reviews on this song, and the 'Bo Diddley' style tune.
    Thanks again for your cool comments,

    Hi Randall,
    Really fine slide with a good sound. Your playing skills are great. It has the right atmosphere. This one will have a great score on Looperman. I'm shure. It would be great if we can make a song together with this sound.

    Hi Gerard,
    Thanks for your comments on this song. Been working on it abut 2 months. So far, not many reviews, but this site has had a few problems, so maybe things will pick up.

    Songs come in so fast on here, that your song is usually knocked off the first page in a matter of hours, and no one will hear it unless it is marked as a featured track...which all of mine are originally.
    Thanks again,
    Randy

    What key are you playing it in? I want to download it and get some harmonica practice to it. Great piece. Wish it was longer. Reminds me of the movie "They live" With Rodey Piper.

    Randall822
    Reply by Randall822

    Hello Blair,
    Hey...thanks for listening to this latest blues tune. It was done in 'C' tuning. Only 3 chords, but I think they make Harmonica's in most all the different keys?

    That movie 'They live' you mentioned, I found it on the web last week and watched the whole thing while I was away. I remember watching it before a long time ago. I see what you mean about the music in the movie.

    Very close and cool sounding. But I didn't copy it.
    I try to make most of my songs lately to about the 3 minute mark these days.
    Thanks for listening and glad you liked it.

Description : Of all the classic Monster tales the Wolfman is definitely one of the saddest. Cursed, and destined to live as both man and monster. During the day he sits alone with his guitar, a prisoner of lonely existence, crying his heart out through his music. Then at night, the beast emerges, and in the dark under a full moon, he cry's as he rips the hearts out of his victims! Such is the life of a cursed bluesman!

It features everything being done by me, with improvised solos for each instrument. This was done using Fl Studio 12 and my Korg M50 keyboard. I plan on adding lyrics to it down the road and having everything much cleaner. Anyhow, enjoy!

Description : Cosmic Eastern chillout atmospheric shuffle blues with loads of bluesy/Eastern electric guitar playing and warm sub bass (the same synth patch I've used in about 20 tracks). No drum loops and just two programmed acoustic kits - probably the simplest drum setup I've ever used. One day I hope to make a track containing only one drum kit. Also: a few female vocal samples (including a heavily timestretched one), one section of bass guitar, a few sample-based string instruments, a few notes of organ and two synth pad instruments. So, quite a minimal instrument lineup for me. It goes uptempo around 4:31 into a grooving, stomping bit of shuffle blues and I wonder if I should have brought this section back at the end for a triumphant finale. But I'm trying hard these days not to make things too long and this is already a decent length. Also contains some darker, Eastern sections but nothing too dark. Have a listen and leave me some interesting feedback - the more detail, the better.

Description : Simple blues, rough mix. Composed with my friend Costa Zbinden. We will appreciate if someone would add some vocals! Sirup: guitars. Costa Zbinden: guitars and keys. Alex Richard: bass. Claude Barbotte: Hammond. With my own drum loop (here on Looperman, genre blues).
