Description : Just some late night night raw slide playing with a drum track. Played on The Lone Rider 3 string fretless electric with an authentic wine bottle neck slide and a hand made wood pick. I spend hours at a time just lost in the beautiful hypnotizing melodies of these primitive instruments.

    I feel the sweat dripping down my face as I sit in the bayou, swatting mosquitos and gnawing on a nutra-rat leg. he!

    Keep having fun man and we'll keep listening to your soulful backwoods sounds.

    Definitely not sweating here! I do live in the woods next to some swamp land, that's close enough to a bayou right? No mosquitoes this time of year, thankfully. As long as I don't hear banjos all is good ;) MMmmm nutra rat leg, my favorite! Do these tunes give you flashbacks to your bayou days? Oh I'm having so much fun it should be illegal!!LOL! I'm collecting license plates from all 50 states to make a license plate guitar for each state, got about half of them with more on the way. I'll even record a tune on each. Such simple expressive instruments it's pretty hard not to get a soulful sound out of them, regardless of what some may say. I'm trying to get some recordings in while it's cold, and before I have to start working outside making stock for the upcoming festival this summer. My shop is tiny!
    Always a pleasure Wayne :D Watch out those mosquito swarms don't carry you off, listen for banjos too, RUN if you hear them!!

    Greetings,

    Although i do find the song a bit empty. Meaning there isn't much in it or to it when it comes to volume, ingredients, elements and a soul or heart only a drum and guitar. None the less i do dig the guitar play in it. And that is indeed the only noticeable thing to me. So yeah the guitar play sure was good and pleasant to listen to. But i missed a lot in it. It's probably because i'am used to using many different elements when i am making music perhaps. But like i said i still dig the guitar play. So i feel a bit indifferent to be honest. None the less keep on creating & listening. Have a good one, Verdi

    We all have a different take on music. I've made songs with layer upon layer of instruments and sounds with alot of dynamics. Sometimes less is more. This was literally just some improvisational jamming after a tough week, with a drum groove for keeping time. One of the beautiful things about these primitive instruments is sometimes that's all you need is the guitar telling it's tale all on its own. I like to point to this tune as an example. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wz5wMGovkuQ Thank you for the honest feedback :D I don't do this to become famous or show off, just playing music is something I enjoy very much. I also love bringing attention to the homemade instrument revolution/renaissance showing people you don't need expensive instruments to let out the music inside of you. Imperfection is ok.

    is that a Cigar box guitar ? very cool, always wanted one of those. psychedelic track man, wavey. Kind of makes me think of a dusty road out in the desert. I like the inspiration this brings, keep up the good work

    It's not made with an actual cigar box but it is the same design. I used pine and a wallet tin for the body with a scavenged single coil pick up, 3 strings tuned GDG and played iwith a cut off wine bottle neck. Cigar box guitars are fairly easy and cheap to make, as they're traditionally made with found objects. Cigar boxes were readily available, but now they're made with license plates, homemade boxes, tins, gas cans, olive oil tins, bed pans, laptops, old game consoles... Imagination is the limit. I love how they can tell a story all on their transporting one to another time or place. Thanks JKingz.

    After a long week, we don't always get what we want, I was just relaxing late at night unwinding with my favorite guitar. I could play for hours on end just chill melodies. Always a pleasure Danke
    Handshake :D

    It was right here on Looperman I learned about cigar box guitars and the homemade instrument movement, instant addict! I hardly ever touch my production guitars anymore in favor of my own homemade ones. Made so many great friends into the same, crafting instruments and accessories like picks, slides, pick ups, and other parts for creating music. The sound of these primitive simple expressive instruments can be very hyptnotic and I love how alone they can tell a tale. Thanks for the great feedback. I joined this revolution against overproduced/refined music a few years ago. The guitar itself is made of scavenged wood, an old wallet tin for a resonator, a scavenged single coil pickup with a bolt for a nut and bridge. My pick is a wood hand carved one from Mojoboneworks and the slide is a blue cut off wine bottle neck, handmade adds to the mojo ;)

Description : Sounds of the sea and trippy acidy washes with a cool beat and some live acoustic guitar. Written in Cubase with live guitar and keys etc. The sound of the sea and birds was recorded on the beach where I used to live. After moving to the city one sunny day I was telling stories to a friend about living by the sea and started making this track.

Description : Many of you know well that Tumbleweed & Orlando collabs are pretty much well established tradition within LM society by now, and here is the newest example to reinforce that tradition. It's probably the last this year (yet never take it for granted) and I think it has (although not particularly intended) a bit of that seasonal celebrative nature, thus fitting quite well into this festive feel of December. Despite providing it's share of melancholic tones (you can bet who is responsible...haha...) it's a quite happy tune overall...and it doesn't bite, so you're all most welcome to listen and comment !... As always my sincere thanks to Ed !

Description : Another track I created quickly after hearing Minor2Go acoustic Guitar loop yesterday 7-19-2018.

Description : The spring is in full motion over here and I guess it helped me quite a bit to complete my part of the job on yet another exciting collab with maestro Tumbleweed. Most of our collab works contain at least some aspect which demonstrates something out of ordinary one or another way. This time we got a peculiar combination of mysticism and merciless attacks of soapiness (my bad....haha)....So let's listen to hear whether I'm right or not!....:) As always on such occasions, all my thanks to Ed !

Description : Hi guys another vocal from me, this time Matthias gave his blessing. It's to his beautiful return track chillout vibe. It's a tribute to my closest here on LM. My voice a few ways including, the balls to do a harmony channel too. There's 30+ shout outs, so listen up, you may here your name. It's community based and some of you play characters. Switch the fucking volume UP, it's a builder. Love the Stokesey and Cyber lines :))) Sorry girls it was a lads love in.
