Description : This song is about desire (forbidden fruit). I'm sure this little story will ring true with a few here. I have pulled all the stops out on this, 9 piece horn section, soaring lead guitar intro and link from my Les Paul, bass and tenor sax solos (first bass solo I have ever recorded). The song has a blues flavour with a twist of slow latin mixed. I don't know how that happened, but I'm glad it did.

All comments welcome,
Cheers Slap...

    Hi ElectricKitten, I'm glad you liked the bass solo so much! Up North in England we say "The Dogs" as in dogs bollocks, meaning good or cool. But the real question is "Are dogs bollocks cool"! The last time I held a pair they were warm lol...

    This is epic, reminds me of santana, Only crit is that the lead guit is too far "back", less reverb could bring that great guitar line to its rightful place at the lead of the band. Otherwise great Mix, great playing.

    SLAPJOHNSON
    Reply by SLAPJOHNSON

    Hi Acrylic, I will look at your suggestion on the guitar issue, I feel you have a valid point. Being a woodwind player firstly reverb is a effect I always use, however I have to start thinking of the guitar as a guitar and not as woodwind. Thank you for your kind supportive words..

    Cheers Slap...

    Slap you are actually one of a great musician to whom i listened, this is the very first time i am commenting on your work coz i never ever had words to comment on your work.
    This is a super and a completely professional track, all things are going together with a nice flow and horn is simply great.
    this track is i think a father of master piece which can give many more master pieces.
    Love ya

    Super!...Love that line "I could dance my life away"....When you hear one of these compilations of one individual's musical dexterity you think...Holy Cow,there must have been a logjam in the reincarnation switchboard the day this guy was born..there's about a half dozen different muso's inside him!...and to top it all off he's just put a lot of Bass players out of work!(great solo by the way!)...I'm in agreement with Bill..we should give up playing or at least find an instrument you can't play...Hmmmm..this is going to be hard. lol...fantastic track mate,smooth and smokey and way sexy...cheers planet :)

    Hi Planet, or should I say Mr 1000+ reviews (well done Man). I loved the studio pic you posted, wow! What a set up. I will post mine up soon (to be honest, mine's a very small one! Studio that is!!!).Thanks for the kind words on the track, I've been kind of busy doing other stuff to get the lyrics finished on this track. So today I pushed everything to one side and cracked on. The music's been finished since July! But then again I do have 38 other tracks that need finishing off. If only we had more hours in a day!

    Cheers Slap...

    I love this track Slap.
    I'd have loved a deaper bass solo though, but the high notes worked great.
    Are you using an octaver on the lead guitar parts because something sounds wrong with it, pitch wise. Other than that it's perfect.
    Great track.

    SLAPJOHNSON
    Reply by SLAPJOHNSON

    Hi Helix, I did'nt use an octaver pedal, but I did cut and paste the guitar and transpose it down a octave. It kind of clashes in places! I have now remixed the song and removed that part, I think it has now fix that problem. Thanks for pointing it out... Cheers Slap...

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!

Description : Been away for a while. I am doing something I usually don't do with this one. Here is a blues track I put together in a day. 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).
