Description : Homemade 3 string fretless cigar box guitar, 5 string bass, addictive drums. Getting closer to that cbg album completion, 'Vastlands' :D mix may need tweaking, these headphones add bass. Try and stay dry in that cave, but be careful, you never know what lurks in the darkness behind!! Very pink floyd like,. Enjoy.

loving these mate, they're like some soundtrack to a delta murder mystery or something. i'm sure i can hear the great greasy Mississippi flowing on by like some great artery, even though i've never been to the states!

OOhh perfect finding dark themes even the happier stuff I do on occasion ;) I love how music can transport you anywhere and put you in a whole new state of mind. I've spent my whole life in the northeasten part of the states, never been to the Mississippi delta but these guitars sure have a way of transporting us there. I'll try and get more up to date stuff put up. I've been away from here for a while and not nearly as active as I was in the past. I do a ton on facebook groups related to the worldwide homemade instrument movement. I love how it's like the home recording revolution. Tonight I've been sitting here playing on a guitar made from a license plate a friend made me in a guitar swap.
Where I'm not a singer I got into using soundscapes created from sounds found around the web along with my own recordings to add that extra dimension, and do something a bit different than the usual.

This song is a great trip. First off, it's extremely well mixed with a great balance of instruments and effects. They all work together to provide this really chill vibe that works so well for this song. Excellent work.

Hey Jamid,listened multiple times (may not show as I don't believe I signed in each day) dl'd, fav'd for further listening. I'll leave my thoughts shortly. A subject that fascinates me! I do believe in ghosts, no one will convince me otherwise.

I don't know of anymore free cbg albums, happened to find that one on my other desktop looking for something previously recorded. I think I like the swamp witch one the best of the two. It's got to be that electric guitar pick up or maybe just the mojo ;) I just got a number of magnetic pickups for builds, and wound my first with a magnet out of a hard drive, yet to try it though. Screw all the precision stuff, specific number of windings, resistance..., I just used the roll of wire and called it good. If it works, no reason it shouldn't, I saved a bunch of old junk hard drives to scavenge the magnets from and some hair clippers I can salvage the copper windings from. I love this one, thanks Ed :D

Yo, 4Fat.

You're doing really well with the chillout slide compositions. I need to get back to doing some!

Nice, simple, lazy groove in this. Good drum sound. And, of course, all the additional location-based ambient stuff. A "wild" track, in terms of location sound recording. Very effective for mood and ambience and it totally meshes with your slide playing.

You could say that the track doesn't really go anywhere in particular but perhaps it doesn't need to. Or maybe that's a limitation. So perhaps it should either be a bit shorter or feature some more obvious changes.

Congrats anyway...

Hey Phatkatz! I haven't been on Looperman but I happened to click on this one by you and wow! You've seriously improved since I was last active! It sounds great to my ears. The bass and drums actually have a nice, full low-end punch and I wouldn't change a thing in the music itself. You could possibly cut off a little bit of low-end of the thunder since it muddles the mix there but its not a big deal. This is honestly a great mix. And I actually mean that.

Hey Brado, I've been hanging a bit and noticed quite a few regulars haven't been on much. Life happens and sometime we all just need a break. This is by far my favorite music site! I came across this waves crashing on the beach recorded from inside a cave during a rainstorm soundscape so thought would be cool to write something for it. I'm trying to get together an album of all cbg music with nature theme, the last track was a swamp one. I have look at those thunder crashes, they were added in just because ;) The idea is hearing them from inside the cavern so I left them raw, as downloaded, but maybe some low end cuts would be helpful. I came across 2 original song competitions today so submitted this and a few others just for fun. I love the powerful bass on this. That's my 5 string Ibanez with active pickups. Drums are addictive drums, live on stage kit.The guitar is my electric 3 string cbg, the only one so far I put a magnetic pick up in. Must make more with mag. pickups!!!

Hey Byleth :D I think I found the entrance to your lair. The Aztecs believed a cave in South America was the entrance to the underworld. Archeologist found different rooms with animal bones and artifacts like described in their stories. Yeah, it's pretty wet and I forgot my soap! Lovecraft has a story about a gorilla type beast residing deep in the darkness of a cave, hope it doesn't smell me :O I'll be back to some darker music soon, having way too much fun with my homemade guitars right now. Thanks Master Byleth

Thanks Shatner :D You'll probably enjoy Bottomlands, a very similar one. Having a blast building and playing these 3 string cigar box guitars, such beautiful sounds from them! More to come. Working on an album I'll post here for free, of more music like this.

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 : This is a tune dedicated to my friend, Nancy, who followed me to the clubs I played at for years, and is still following me with my studio work. Why do I dedicate this to her? Onnacounta cause she's soooooo naughty! She never liked violins, but loved her sax! Here's to you, Nancy. Anyway, this is a little blues track with some nice guitar and sex...oh, sorry, I mean sax.

Enjoy and download away.

Description : A sultry, seductive, and fairly short acoustic blues number. It is an instrumental and only took about 2 hours to write, record, and get a decent mix. Enjoy! Updated: I added some slight echo to the electric guitar and widened the stereo fields of the acoustic rhythm and leads.

Description : Fresh out of the studio after 10 weeks of deliberating, planning, writing and performing.
This could be classed as Country Blues or Southern Rock...either way I think it may get your toes tapping. So grab your partner and jump on the dance floor with this one.
I am performing the following instruments...vocals, electric guitars, slide acoustic, bass, harmonica, organ. I wrote the following instrument parts in MIDI....drums, percussion, piano, horns. This was a beast to master but I think it turned out okay.
No loops used.

Description : UPDATE 26/01/2014: Improved loads of things in what is probably my greatest chillout alternative blues piece. Ambient, ethereal, groove-based delta slide blues. Contemplative and melodic. Multiple, layered , sometimes shimmering resonator guitar parts with solid, warm synth bass, an ethereal bed of pads (which are actually guitars) and second electronic drumkit to contrast the acoustic kits. I thought this was perfect a few years ago but it wasn't (and still isn't). Now has clearer drums and lots of small awkward bits of guitar have been trimmed. Quite a minimalistic and short piece for me - I don't just keep bringing in new instruments, as I usually do. This should really chill you out...
