Listen To Bottomlands Ambient Song By Burtsbluesboxes At Looperman.com

Have at it :p Post apocalyptic does seem to fit.

Yo Static, one year in, still building like crazy and loving these damn cbgs!! Working on a more fancy one for Designed Impression, then a similar one for myself. The first sound was actually a mistake but I like it :D The delays keep echoing long after the tracks have stopped in my daw and that sound happens if I don't allow it to completely decay, stop showing up on the master meter, and hit render. I was quite unsatisfied with my 6 string playing the night I made this so I grabbed my 3 string to play some slide, much better :p It doesn't need to go anywhere, the slide moves us along nicely as the repeating loop backing it sets a nice atmosphere mixed with the swamp soundscape. I agree, should and could go on alot longer! Maybe the next one will. I've been averaging 2 minutes with these cbg tunes, got it up to 4 with this one. Ultimately I'll rival the lengths you reach ;) Thanks Static :D

My absolute favorite thing about Looperman is the majority of us are just ordinary people working for a living making music simply as a hobbie. I've come across and collaborated with some amazing musicians from around the world on here over the years! We all have something we can learn from on another. Never thought of of Houston as a swamp city, always thought it was just a really big, developed and busy city. What do us hillbillies way up here in Maine know anyway ;) Thanks Mindheist! When I first heard cigar box guitars a year ago that was it I HAD to have one!!! Buying one wasn't an option either, had to be homemade. We do have a swamp out back with similar sounds, just no man eaters if you don't count mosquitoes and black flies. Summers can get quite hot 90s is enough for me! I heard a coyote yipping last night :D Ahhh the sounds of nature. Stay tuned for more northern played, southern inspired swamp blues :D

Damn 1990! Seems a few lifetimes ago! That would be quite terrifying! I've never been further south of North Carolina, too hot, humid and busy for me!! I like Maine, we get cold enough so there's no poisonous snakes, insects and alot of the tropical germs can't survive the winters. I'll take the cold over the heat! It's funny when people ask Maine? Where's that? People actually live there, it's not all pine trees? I love the maine woods! Less that will kill you here hahaha Listening to some tracks in my car I realized how much I do use footsteps in stuff. Maybe the next one will be fishing for catfish from a boat instead of walking. I actaully had the thought to add rowing instead. I love the cbg songs on you tube that's one guitar solo playing slide, telling it's tale. I played along with a drum groove for timing, then cut out the drums to keep it guitar and sounds of nature only. When it come to mind that's the best time to ask! Sent you a message with the stems wet and dry, have a blast with them :D The wife said sounds like pink floyd as well, but did David Gilmore play a cbg? Billy Gibbons did :p https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rHzeNW_nJVY My work schedule has been a bit crazy switching nights to days and back, but I am working on getting together the songs I think will go together for a cbg album, making sure they're mixed acceptably ect. All played on cbgs and maybe bass guitar since I haven't yet built a bass, I have the parts though. I do have some stuff mixed with 6 string playing too. Started experimenting with open tunings on 6 string from what I've learned this past year. Thanks NeoGillian :D

Thanks EyeDye, these cbgs sound amazing for such simple instruments!! Fretless ones I literally play with one finger (slide)

Looking up at the stars through the cypress trees, wading through the brown green knee deep muck. I use guitar rig 5, this setting was Brookside. I like the delays and how it fattened up the low end. Most of the time I use atmo guitar setting, less delay. Sometimes you just have to try out each 'til you find that sweet sound for each piece. Thanks Cru :D

Good to see you hanging again Aaron :D Going very well, thanks. Loving these cbgs!! Now I'm messing with open tunings on 6 strings and setting up a 6 string for slide playing all from my experience with cbgs. Pouring with sweat as I played this ;) Love the feel and story these guitars can create all on their own, then a little soundscaping... Thanks Aaaron.

I want to make a better video with moving images, maybe like walking through the swamp. Soundtrack music for sure! A number of people have said where the hell is the directors! I make ALOT of stuff perfect for movies. I'd love to make my own animated film like Fantasia or Allegro Non Troppo with my music. I started experimenting with soundscaping and voice acting due to the fact I cannot sing! Trust me hahahaha I do spoken word no problem and extreme metal vocals (wouldn't consider that singing). But I really prefer to let the sounds and the guitar tell the tale. Here's on animated one I made with music Designed Impression shared with me. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PAVY-QTKJPA Bit dark, but that's along the lines of what I'd like to make for Bottomlands. Or here's a funny one with 3rd nipple Neal Visher's song Bobby https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PAZ9-UzmDC8 Fun stuff :D Thanks CM More on the way as well as hoping get that cbg made this month and off to you and Sunny. Made a 3 string olive oil can one Saturday tuned open D (DAD) for a change. Just need to electrify it to record it easily.

Forget the alligators and mosquitoes watch out for that sinkhole!! Thanks :D

I'm a huge fan of soundscapes with music, draws you right in like being there :p

Thanks Jamid, recorded in the cemetary next to the swamp ;) LOL! Loving playing these 3 string cigar box guitars! I'm going to get an album together and think this is a great opening track, like walking into the swamp.

Real field recordings used from freesound, I love how it puts you right there while safely NOT there hahaha! Yeah that lead is a tad too loud, I'll have to adjust that. I'm going to make a better video instead of just a still frame picture. Loving this swampy slide guitar playing, never got it down on a six string. Thanks Orlando :D Watch out for those man eating leaches! They'll suck you dry if the mosquitoes don't carry you off first!

Love the images music can conjure. Thanks 3iad :p

Never been to the deep south but have read extensively about it. The Grateful dead said in the 60's it was one scary place! I've been as far south as North Carolina, too hot, muggy and busy for me!! We have a swamp out back, does that count? ;) Also lots of mountains like the Appalachin people. Handshake Danke.

Maybe Anaconda or something with Steve Irwin hunting alligators :p Thanks Hashmet

Excellent description!! There's no shortage of horrors we endure. Nature and music can be so calming and healing. I wasn't with with anything I was playing last night so thought I'd try this after seeing one on you tube done a 6 string but they kept hitting sour notes. Addicted to the beautiful sound of cbgs!!! Thanks Metabolic :p
