Greg (wanna funk)
Thank you Greg,seems like we have a lot in common musically and yes,It's amazing how the internet has brought so many dreams to reality...simply awesome!
I know musicians five miles from me but I would rather play with the people I've met here...go figure...lol
Thank you Mr Strawberry!You know where I live,Plant City Fl., it's called the strawberry capital...We do grow a lot of them here.Thanks again for listening!
Hellz Yeah!!! My first and only fav on this site so far! Just makes me feel alive... and that's from an old head bangers perspective... ya know! Like the stuff WE used to listen to... Scorpions, VH, Iron Maiden, Poison n the hair band (now receeding hair band)stuff. You remember em to Allen I can tell! I love the shift/bridge around 3:40. And the anvil was perfect!
wow, this is an amazing track allen. today was the first time ive heard youre work (on the colab w/ spelljammer and slap johnson). jaw dropping stuff, your guitar work is top notch stuff. very professional sound. RT
Thank you RT!Sorry for the delay in the reply..I do appreciate your review very much...ones like yours are the reward for the hard work Spell and I put into these songs,there will be more to come!
You speak on your guitar.
I love it man.. I used to practice like 10 hours a day and I used to be able to just pick it up, and musical phrases would pour out of me.
Thank you.
Hey man,No need to apologize...we're all fam here!
I need to get over and see you too.
I'm glad you liked the song.You know how you can make it sound easy when it's really not...this was one of em'...lol.This was not the first take :)
as a guitar novice, I bow before the master! been a fan since I listened to your collab with SpellJammer "Time For Change" which is still my fave track. incidentally SpellJammer asked me to write lyrics for that particular track. as a poet, it is a great honour to do something for such a masterpiece.
This one is a masterpiece too, simple yet very strong emotionally. it gets its depth in the simplicity. The guitar sounds are just awesome!
Thank you very much Vuduchylde!Those are great complements and I appreciate them.SpellJammer and I are finishing up a new track,it should be done by the weekend...he has quite a talent and so does Tacatta with these vocals.That's one of the important lessons my friend that you probably already know...Surround yourself with great talent and you will play and sound better.These guys make me look good and bring out my best!
I'm gonna check out your music.
Thanks again for the kind words!
Wow what a cool collab guys. Pure emotion and feel to this one for sure. Allen I love those guitar phrasings...indeed I heard some Hendrix, but I also heard some early Eddie Van Halen chords in there..and essence of Jeff Beck. The vocals of Tecatta and your voice on guitar were a superb meld of heart & soul. A true classic fellas ! - Bilbozo
Hey Bill,thanks for having a listen!yea,I've kinda' stopped fighting against those influences and am just having fun and playing what I feel fits...at the very least it doesn't sound forced that way.
Oh,did Joseph survive his birthday bash:)
Thanks again Bill,I appreciate your comments.
Thank you Charlie!I love Phil,my father was and is a pastor so when I was growing up Phil was one of the first guitarist I found in the Christian community that played that well,and he still is an inspiration and has maintained a wonderful testimony.
Like a breath of fresh air, amazing! Pretty song, nice melodies throughout. Liked the delay on the guitar, subtle but effective. I just love playin' with delays, multitap delays are fun.
Sweet track, great collab with SpellJammer. Everything feels right about this track. dl an fav! thanks!
Thank you so very much Wayne!At the end of the day I hope to make music that feels right and is enjoyable to listen to.Collabs have allowed me to play music I love with great people like SpellJammer.
Hay Allen. Very sweet playing – there seems to be no limits to your skills. I like this very much, it shows a totally different style than what we do together – and you shine here too. Professional is the word.

Thanks Kikajon,I'm afraid I'm showing my age and the fact that I've played covers for 30yrs...lol.
I appreciate the complement and I guess the bottom line is it doesn't matter how you get there as long as you do.I would like to say that I pursued all these different genres but they came to me and it has proven to be an advantage now in collaborating.
Thanks again.
Thanks Kenneth!That seems to be unique to the acoustic...so much of the person playing can be heard and you hope to have something to say,that's why I wont play it if I can't feel it.
Thanks again Becca!This was one of the first I did after joining the site.If I hear a track that guitar may complement I try to do my best,I've said it before...it's a win win!

It's been crazy and busy and hectic lately for me.
This is wonderful.
Minor 2nds are where ALL of the emotion is for me personally, especially as a guitarist.
Awesome finger picking and great subtle use of overdubs.
Almost made it mandolin and 12 stringy!
Beautiful.
I need to get over and see you too.
