Description : Well ....it has been awhile since I put up a song....but i have been tubbing like crazy....new projects are a coming....been awhile since I dabbled in some Blues.... This is for all us music guys that just love our woman....being away kinda drives us crazy sometimes....usally alot of Sweet Talking in involved....Hope you enjoy....Thx, Bud

Description : So I have re-uploaded this again....The last time I took It down as I wasn't that confident with it as a whole...this was a song I wrote a few years ago when I had spent some time lodging with some mates after a difficult period in my life! It does reflect how I felt at that time, and I thought I would share that fact it with you loopers! I have put it in blues, although it is a mixture of blues and rock really...but i suppose the lyrics are more blues than rock...I dunno...I am goin to leave it up on here now coz I suppose it is my best vocal i have done..and as I'm not in a band anymore..I might as well!
Any opinions or comments are appreciated!

Description : This is a v e r y s l o w Blues song in 'C' tuning. Uses slide guitar. So if you like the slide guitar sound, this song is for you. The drums are loops, the rest is me.
Hope you like it.

Description : Hello all,
Well, it has been awhile since I have uploaded anything. But, that was due my work schedule mostly.

What we have here is a 3 part Blues song. Why 3 parts?
Well, at my age, I have to capture all I can and put it down before it gets away. :-)

Anyways, the 1st. part is an Acoustic guitar background with a nice ring to it, and a Telecaster lead slightly distorted.
Some Dobro (Resonator guitar)sounds are sprinkled here and there in songs 1 & 2.

2nd. part is a Strat. playing finger picking style with some cool harmonics.....and then regular lead.

3rd. part. A friend helped me wih the lead on this one as my fingers don't quite go that fast these days. :)

There are 2 sections where there is just ,Bass, Drums, and Rhythm Guitar playing so you could download it and jam along if you want to. All is in the key of "A".
Drums are loops. I am playing most of the rest.

(I am awaiting a new pickup for my Dobro guitar so I can add more into my future songs)
As for my next venture...probably a 12 string guitar song.
Hope you like the songs!
Randy

Description : Okay...here is my 3rd song and it is a 2 part song. This is a Blues tune and about as 'blues' as you can get! The 1st part is a slow 78 bpm with Acoustic guitar tuned to an open 'E' using a slide. Also, using an acoustic bass and drums. Part of this is from a loop CD, as I am playing the bass and drum parts too.
The guitar is fingerpicked so you'll even hear the strings slap against the neck now and then. :-)

The 2nd part starts about 3 seconds after the 1st is done, and it features a Fender Strat tuned to an open "C' using a slide as well, and the guitar has a 'crunchy' sound at 93 bpm. I am playing bass and drums on this also, and with the help of a loop CD. I used effects such as compressors, limiters and reverb in both songs.
Took me month working on this, so now I am off to work on something else. Hope you like them,
Randy

Description : This track is as rough can get right now. So what makes it so special? Well, first off I was exploring all the different drum loops that came with Acid Music Studio 7.0. Anyways, as soon as I heard this drum loop it inspired me without warning. I copied the Drum loop and spread it out over more then enough measures to lay down my vocals on top off. I started singing. Complete Acapella style with nothing else besides the drums going. After a couple minutes my inspiration for Ad Lib words came to an end. Had more then enough of a foundation to pull from for a song. Now, MMmmmmm... interesting what chords will work or come close to working with it. So I set up another track and plugged my guitar straight in, did not have my Guitar Effects processor handy, so I ended up playing clean. Anyways, I hit record... and what you hear is what I came up with on the fly to what I just sung on the fly. Literally a song idea within a matter of minutes. I was Amazed that I actually sung in KEY. I've been struggling with being either slightly sharp or flat on notes for awhile now. Wow... something to be said for working with Acapella's. I've never laid down vocals first, with music coming second. OK, I'm not a DJ remix master of loops. Loops and software such as ACID, Reaper and you name really are awesome though. Anyways, this track is proof that Acapellas even of your own invention can be fun to work with. I've not sliced and diced anything yet. I just thought I'd share this track with others. It's a work flow method, one that I've never explored before. I kept the track somewhat short and did include the couple of minutes of me just jamming off on guitar leads. Hope this inspires other people a little with some food for thought.

Description : Really old, basic idea for a riff-based heavy blues/hard rock song.

Description : Sorry Guys ....I have been so busy havn't been on here for awhile.... I have been so busy in the studio ...I thought I should put something up... I have been doing sessions with an Australian Guitar Player named Robert Smith ...so I thought I give you a little taste of his playing... Hope you enjoy!

Description : ACID6 & loops ... looking to do a hybrid style ... I like keeping a layer of electronica in a lot of my stuff, but tried to keep a down home flavor ... fun so far ... let me know what you think ... much love for the looperman loops .. many thanks ...

Description : This one I did many years ago,old school (band in a box) yea I
know more midi (~chimp~) .dedicated to a good friend of mine, Mr.B.Ricci Jr., who's keyboard talent left me scratching my head and picking my jaw off of the floor.The spoken word vocals, harmonica are me, the rest is band in a box, the keyboard synth lead was already in the mix, too cool to take out! The non dominate piano leads were actually done on the computer keyboard by me (a setting that actually let you play along )

Description : old school mix, using band in a box. lead guitar,vocals,harps,all
mine. we all remember our 1st vehicle, the one that our parents
said we couldn't have! the one they were sure we were not ready for. kinda like kelso's van on that 70,s show.
(Dude is that freedom rock?, Turn it up man!)

Description : all done in house,wanted to fabricate a multi piece band playing outdoors live for aprox. 2000 to 3000 people. the only instrument i
played was the lead guitar track everything else is fabricated !

Description : This song is for you ...if you are having a good day....Quite jolly I thing...Thx again to Brother Luke ... a little vocal here and a little guitar there...always a pleasure....Hope you enjoy!
