Listen To Randy's Chicken Pickin Country Song By Randall822 At Looperman.com

Hello there Rumlad.. Thanks for your nice comments on this song I did over 5 years ago. Regarding copyright, I don't know about that as I have never had that issue come up before. I state in my notes that the song was made with loops and my playing as I play 6 instruments myself.

I often purchase sample loops from various companies on the internet and pick them apart and put together songs.
So long as I don't try and sell any of them, all is good. Most loop packages state that you can use the loops you put together for many uses. (commercials, games) And as you can see it has been D/L 143 times in the past. Randy

Hello there VinceSinger,

Thanks for your nice comments.Ha Ha...no album....I just do this for fun. If someone wants to put words to my music...okay by me. Just would be nice if they gave some credit is all.

A lap steel won't give you all the sounds I am getting off my Pedal Steel.
A Pedal Steel gives the sound a moving feeling and is different than a lap steel. However, if a person is very skillful, they can mimic one pretty close.

I see you have no songs up so I can't review anything of yours...so thanbks again. I believe I have 27 songs up now...but most are towards the rock vein.

Hello again Kikajon,

Thanks for reviewing this country tune. Chicken pickin style takes a while to learn. Basically using at least 3 fingers, including the thumb and using a Fender Telecaster to get the best sound.

I love this style of music and will do another of this type after I finish the classic rock tune I have started.
I'll listen to your music and give a review(s) back as well.

Randy

Hi Allen.
Looks like your getting into my music.....glad of that. I strive for quality...not quantity. I get my drum loop at www.betamonkeymusic.com or else I play them from the keyboard as I don't own any drums now.
I started to own a 9 piece white Ludwig drum set back in the 70's. But the person I got them from wanted them back.. as they missed playing them.

I am working on a 'Crunch' Rock tune now and then will get back to some more country pickin stuff.
Glad you liked this tune and I hope my music inspires you to play more. I am here all by myself!
Bye for now.........
Randy

Hello again Rei,

So you found another one you like. Great!
Believe it or not, 'Chicken Pickin' style is my favorite, but it has taken me a long time to master it. I still have more to learn....and I will post another one soon.
It is basically using a pick or thumb pick and your other 2-3 fingers to play all the rest of the melody and chords at the same time.
When I play 5-string banjo...not so much lately, your using usually 3 fingers playing rolls forwards and backwards.
Pedal Steel is simuliar, and also Dobro that is featured in some of my Blues tunes.
Anyways glad you enjoyed this tune as well as the waltz.

As far as fine wine goes...I'll be 66 next month and I'm certainly becoming as aged wine. ha ha,

Thanks again,
Randy

Hi Wayne!

Thank you for stopping by and checking out my country tune. I see after I posted it, it disappeard off the front page within 1/2 hour with so many others posting too.
So I doubt that many even saw it come up.
Oh well, there is always the featured section.

No...I do own a fiddle, but this was a loop from a disk I bought...and the drums as well.

I practiced the fiddle when I was younger, but liked fretted instruments better. The only one I own now is a gold colored signed and numbered Charlie Daniels one...that is a keepsake as only 50 of that color were made.

I'll check out your tunes as well as the others here and leave you some comments.
Thanks again,
Randy

Hello JFW,
Thaks for reviewing my country tune. This is the type of music I really like. I have been practicing that style off and on for some time.
I'll check to see what all you have up and give a review back.
Bye for now,
Randy

Hello there,

Thanks for being my first reviewer of this new tune. The steel sound you hear is not a Lap steel. It is a full blowsn $3,000 Emmons pedal steel. You could never get those sounds I made, on a simple lap steel.
See my pic gallery for a picture of it if you have time.

Anyways, glad you like the songs...I know they are a little short...so that is why I put 2 of them together.
I will get over to listen to yor songs shorty and leave feedback.

Thanks again,
Randy
