I'm not too good at the harmonica but it's one of those instruments you can fake it till you make it. ;)

Thanks!

Wayne

Hello Mr. Jynxz!

Yup, that's me playing the harp.

Thanks for stopping by!

Wayne

I watched D Boon from the Minutemen in a live clip say the line "6 points of view" describing a gun and suddenly a light bulb went off over my head. Figured I could run with that as a premise to a song.

Thanks, glad you liked it, fun one!

Wayne

Thanks ds!

Some good ole fashioned folk-ish rock for the listeners.

Wayne

Thanks! The story is the main thing here, the music is just a simple blues progression in G.

Wayne

Thanks man! I tried at times to make the piano be the lead melody with the guitar responding to it and then gave the guitar the lead and let the piano respond.

The lyrics just worn't working with the direction of the music, too political i think, better for a rocked up protest song.

Wayne

Thanks again, been appreciating your tracks as well!

Wayne

Thanks Axel!

Wayne

Thanks Mykael!

I've always loved the sound of piano and acoustic guitar together.

Wayne

Thanks!

Hope the meeting went well.

Wayne

Thanks zootman! If you ever want to add words just let me know and I'll send you the tracks. The lyrics I had written were too serious to go with the 'lightness' of the track so I opted to make it an instrumental instead.

Cheers!

Wayne

Timeless was how I described the chord changes to someone earlier in the day, you can go back decades and find these chord changes in songs. To me this sounds like a song from the 50's.

Thanks!

Wayne

That is a Martin D10e Sapele acoustic guitar from the Road Series line of guitars Martin put out for the working musician, cheap but with decent quality.

All the acoustic guitar was played by me for this song, no loops used.

Wayne

Thanks Micky.

I've always loved simple songs. The Everly Bros and Buddy Holly wrote the simplest, most wonderful songs and they were so basic in the chords, changes and lyrics. They have so much soul, depth and meaning yet they are written so that a beginner musician could play and perform them. I tried to do the same here, the old 'keep it simple stupid' method.

Wayne

Thanks Bou!

Just a quick idea, nothing too well worked out but I like the feel of it aw well. :)

Wayne

Hey Patricia, great to see you!

Thanks, just something to get me in the mood for summer and to work on a quick project.

Wayne

Cool man, glad you liked it!

Wayne

me too!

I hear things that need fixing like track volume levels. I would also go back and arrange some things differently, change some vocal stabs, add better guitar licks...

The drum loops I feel would have limited me to some extent if I spent the usual 2 weeks mixing but that was sorta good for this exercise in a way as I didn't have to fuss too much with them.

Thanks!

Wayne

Hey Mark! Something quick and a little out of my comfort zone, reggae isn't something I play often.

All the tracks were one takes and 2 quick mixes. Little rough in spots where I could easily go back and adjust/fix but that wasn't the purpose of the song.

Take care!

Wayne

Probably only the 3rd reggae song I ever put together and considering the tracking took about half an hour I think it came out ok. I was thinking more of this one for music behind a surf video, instrumental rather than full of words, background music to some cool surf clips.

Thanks for the nice words, cheers!

Wayne

Thanks man!

Just something fast I threw together as a personal challenge. Needs some work on just about everything but I like it.

Wayne

Hey Leon! Thanks!

I know the songs his style of playing is suited for when I put these tracks together. When he jumps on a track I feel confident he will play what is needed for the track. I just noodle on electric guitar as it's not what I feel the most comfortable playing but Jim attacks it with reckless abandon and I like that style. He even surprises himself when he hears what I put together from his tracking sessions.

His wife was walking around the house singing "Uh Oh Ee Uu!" after she heard it, ha! She liked the song when it came out too I guess.
