Description : Here is sort of a ZZ Top? type rocker I put together with my own playing and re-arranging of loops.
In the first part, it is more rhythm based so all you hot rod guitarist can play lead in. Then in the middle, I play some, and at about 2:20,
I am using my Framus -Les Paul solid body 'look alike'.
Probably be the last tune I upload this year.
Hope you like it and have fun with it.

Description : This is a tune I arranged entirely from loops and added in some of my own guitar playing at around 1:05.
It is basically a fast punk rock tune. Hope you like it,
Randy
Description : This is a rockin Christmas tune to the song 'Ding Dong Bells',,, or something like that.
Was easy to make.... Just Guitar, Drums, Bass, and the Tubular bells and Choir sound from my keyboard.
If this gets mixed into the Chrismas CD then it definately would be Alternative style. :)
Randy
Description : Well....here is a tune I have been working on for about 2 months. The first part is basically country music, featuring Dobro, Fiddle, Piano, Pedal steel, Banjo, Harmonica and Flat pickin' Acoustic guitar with pull-off's- hammer-on, etc.
The second part of this tune is pure Cajun music straight from the bayou's of Lousiana, featuring Accordion and Fiddle.
Since I couldn't find any royalty free Accordion Cajun music, My friend Chris Miller from Lake Charles, LA, let me use part of one of his tunes so I could finish this project.
In return, I gave him all rights to use this whole song on his next CD if he wants to. (He won the 2008 CFMA award this year).
On this tune I am not playing the drums, fiddle, harmonica or Accordion (All those from loops). But I am playing all the rest of the instruments. I didn't put a lot of 5-string banjo in as I am a little rusty on that. Maybe next time. :-)
The song may be a little bass heavy for some as I geared it toward computer speakers more.
So if you like this type of music, put on your knee high boots, give a listen, and dance away.

Description : Here is another tune that I got in pieces from loops and put it (arranged) together.
It has that BIG sound so a nice speaker system will be beneficial to listening to it. This is dedicated to all my Loopmen guitar buddies!
Hope you like it.
Description : Hi all...This is a song I put together from royality free loop disk(s)
I own. Basically an Altern-rock song that is kinda short.
Has a cool lead guitar near the end. So I am not playing on this one at all....just arranged it. Hope you like it.
(Needed a temporary diversion from the country song I am putting together still)
Randy
Description : This is a 'Bo Diddley' type rhythm tune. The drums are loops. The rest is me.
Took awhile to put this one together. In playing the faster lead parts...I had to practice them at half speed to get the chops down, and recorded them at an octave lower. Then when put back in at regular tempo, they came out fine. (Just a little trick)
Hope you like it,
Randy
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....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.

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 is my first song I ever made using Pro Tools and a Sony Sample Loop CD. I use a Korg Karma Workstation keyboard as a 'trigger device' and add in some subtle parts here and there with it.
There probably aren't very many country type songs on this site, but hey...variety is the spice of life. So basically this only about 2 minutes long and is an upbeat type of song that might make a good dance tune?
I am working on a slow Blues type of tune and will upload that in a couple weeks.
Description : This is a Altern-rock type song made entirely of a sample loops library disk, from either Sony or Bigfishaudio, royalty free....as I buy and use both companies loops and other companies as well. Since I just found this site, I'll try some loops from here as well. :)
I made the song using Protools 7.4 as the main software engine. I added in compression, reverb and some EQ.
I did it all myself from loops and this is my second song ever. The first song I made is an upbeat country one if anyone wants to hear it.
