Ghosts.
Ballad Based on a True Story.
There you have it.
Voltage
Broken Man
A Northwest winter wind swept through night
and it chilled John Lee to his very bones
He walks alone in the frozen moonlight
His shadow chasing him home
Down a lonely path through an unlocked door
He wanders in
A faded picture on a dusty shelf looks back at him
Thirteen years a go he took a wife
An angel by the name of Cheryl Ann
Just three years later a drunk driver took her life
It left John Lee a Broken Man
Sometimes at night he hears her voice call his name
He holds her in his heart but it's not the same
Haunted by the memory of Cheryl Ann
John Lee he cries the tears of a Broken Man
Tonight John Lee's decided he's had enough
The heartache hurts too much "I can't go on"
He puts on a record of Cheryl Ann's favorite song
And he loads a shell in his twelve gauge shotgun
in a darkened room he sits alone as the music plays
He turns the gun on himself and he starts to pray
Dear God in heaven forgive me
I Love You Cheryl Ann
John Lee he cries a Prayer of a Broken Man
Description : Well it's a bit of off beat, chill out, acoustic, jazzy-ish. By jazzy-ish i mean i play a bit of saxophone on this track. Also bass and guitar. Used a drum loop. Very wild bass improvisation behind the melodies. Oh and there's a sound clip on it of Matt Bellamy laughing in the beginning.
Description : Very Short acoustic piece, i play bass and guitar and use a sound clip from fear and loathing in las vegas.
Description : A Genre Spinner... sort of old school hair band metal, with a Hip Hop type of Bass Groove. Fusion of Electronic and Acoustic Drums.
I pulled out my Guitar for this one.
No Vocal Tracks yet. Any ideas for vocals styles welcome at this point. Could go down several directions with this on.
The break down at the end of the track changes feel around the 2:10 mark. Even the style of guitar work. The lead was improved at the end, and could be a little stronger.
Enjoy....
Description : This one is a feel good track, good for the summer time fun. Just a real chill track. Like in all my tracks, i put guitars in this tracks. Usually hip hop doen't like the guitar, but the way i did fits good. There are about 4 different tracks of guitars playing through out. Solo, delays, acoustic guitars. Its all love on this one. Good production too. Check this one out guys, let me know what you guys think.
Description : Hello....well, here is a new 'medley' of a Electric 12 string guitar I put together. I call it a medley as it isn't a standard song. I put together some chords and rhytmn that sounded good to me, and thought that others might like to hear what a 12 string can do as well. I am not sure there is another 12 string track/loop on Looperman?
The sound is clean and distorted guitar. I did a Bass solo and also added in a fast funky rhythm section at the end.
The drums are loops from 'betamonkeymusic', and I added in some parts of the drums myself from my Korg keyboard. I am playing bass as well.
I don't have an Acoustic 12 string so I couldn't represent that sound here.
Hope you like it, and thanks to all who give me constructive feedback.
Randy
Description : All me. Washburn Acoustic for rythym. Epiphone SG for the lead through a podxt pro. The vocals are through an AT2020 and are a bit pitchy at times. Ennjoy and comments are appreciated.
Description : 4 acoustic guitars and one loop,i made this in ACID pro 6.0 very nice track....
Description : I had 30 minutes spare between lessons this morning, so rather than twiddle my thumbs I decided to record something. This is what came out of that session. I placed a capo on the 9th fret of my acoustic, found a sequence and recorded it in one take, then picked up the soprano sax, and realizing I was in the key of F#major set about a melody pronto. I started to record after a run through and felt I should keep the first take after listening back. It pretty much captures what was in my head. Recorded using line 6 tone port and Ableton live. I hope you enjoy it's relaxing quality.. Cheers Slap...
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 : (OLD TRACK , I WAS STILL LEARNING HOW TO USE REASON)
My 4th song,Same software Except i used this time native instrument's battery 3 for the drums,Still a lot of effort.If you havent hear the original "The End" go hear it before this version so you can make a comparation of the 2 version . the "mood" of this song is still more sad than the original "the end" . I don't know why but i imagine really sad things when i hear this song (War,Death,Destruction) its the end though....but its just a personal idea and many people will take the song in another way.
I hope you like it and still puttin all my effort!!!
Description : Little acoustic thing I do as brackground music sometimes. Didn't know what to do so just threw in some chord changs in the middle. Title is part sounds to me like a light rain and capo up high gives it a harp sound kinda.
Description : i downloaded a very beautiful vocal melody from trifonic on the ccmixter site and built the track around it. it's somewhat acoustic, the beginning kinda sounds 80's i guess. i played all the insruments and used strike for the drums.please let me know what you think,thanks!!

Description : an eletronic acoustic musique...nothing more
Description : This is the first song I have finished of the 30 new tracks I'm currently working on. The song was written and recorded in one hour. I was basically playing the acoustic and this idea came out, so I recorded the guitar down first take, then improvised around to find some ideas for the sax. I've called it Fragile wings because of it's delicate beauty, like a butterfly on a summers breeze. I hope the song gives you a peaceful time while you listen. Cheers Slap...
Description : Just wanted to post something else. I'm basicallyn a rythem Guitarist so this peice is a little difficult foe me. Played the length of 1 verse. It's just a part that hangs around in my mind waiting for me to do something with it.
Says it over 2 minutes. Sorry it's not didn't stop where I wanted it to. So stop when scilence comes, or keep listening that may be your favorite part. Learning new software.
Mellow fingerpicking and lead on acoustic guitar.
Hope you like.
Description : I finally got down to mixing my country track, I took all the electric out of it, maded it acoustic, add a drumloop...presto change-o. I'm okay with it, minus a few tweaks here and there. As usual, it needs vocals of which I will lay down when I get the time. This song is taking longer than what I tought.
As 'the king would say, "Thank ya, thank ya very much."
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 is something i did in one day, it started with some ethnic percussion loops from looperman then i came up with a modal type guitar part.the flute is also looperman and the strings guitars and bass are me.the acoustic drums are strike. the ending kind of exposes my classic rock roots.
Description : aGainn I have Acoustic Nylon, Default Keys, and horns from fruity dx10, i start of with these, the kicks, claps and hihats are simple , these kick in with the surge and another melodie of acoustic nylon, the keys drop out for a while but the horns continue I also have CHR_dreams with the horns , somewhere in the middle you will hear FX_EH.. thats about it .
Description : The kick, clap, hihats start imediatly with the Cerbera saw after 11 seconds the acoustic nylon kicks in and the hihats change a little bit, after the acoustic nylon you have the keys. After all of these I've put in an arpbass,, hope you like it ;)
Description : this one still needs some tweekin,especially the ending vamp but basically it's some percussion loops and other oddities from looperman with some horns c/o slap johnson ,acoustic drums from digidesign strike and all the guitar, key's and bass are me.supposed to sound kinda old time hipster i guess, maybe a tarantino flick? any comments willbe greatly appreciated.
