This is a cool recording, I love it when it's spontaneous. Your bottleneck playing is good and conveys the right blues feeling. I'll listen to your tracks once your fingernails are back! just a joke, I'm sure your other tracks are good too. Thanks for sharing.

I think there's some great ideas in there. To me it needs the bass a little more up front to anchor it or else periods with a more steady drum beat. Plus I felt like I was waiting for the drop after the intro that didn't quite come. But there's some beautiful dynamics in there and I like the track. I'll be interested to see how it devellops. Whew I don't generally critique to that level, I must like the track!

Z I really dig your insight and input, it really gets my mind to think more about dynamics and the mix, thank you so much!

Hello JohnMatteson, very good guitar filled track....it's got that live club feel with the pounding percussions and reverb heavy atmosphere, good job.

love the way it is built (the accoustic guitar, the drum, the voice). Great track really, we can feel you had fun to put it all together with your drumming pal!

A nice loose blues feeling. You could potentially tighten it up a bit (and maybe speed it up, ZZ Top style?) but this is already very pleasant and a great jam!

JohnMatteson replied 17th Jan 2025 - 6 months ago
Thanks for listening, I usually set my bpm to around 110, this was 79. good constructive ideas, thanks again

on The Highest Rung by JohnMatteson
I smiled when I heard this - it sounds a bit psychedelic. I found myself imagining that you could smell the eucalyptus as you swang - that would make it a very heady experience indeed! The lyric 'But You Lord still stand true, I still can put all my trust in You' is genuis. If you think about how we get swept up and blown about by life, just like you in that tree, that lyric is even more potent. Christmas wishes to you Kay & Oli

You are so cool to check this out and you really felt what I was feeling with the smell of eucalyptus all by myself me against the world at the top of that tree. Merry Christmas Kay & Oli

Hope she likes this - if I had this written for me I would cry with joy, lol reminded me of a bit of Bowie and a bit of George Harrison Kay

I can certainly understand the thought and intention of a song like this, Ive
done my fair share of them. My old lady cant handle it if i go too long without composing something for here these days, and this has given me an idea for that. Thank u for that, and well done, as well.

Really well done! I hope they appreciate the effort :)

(my own experience is that I usually get a shrug at best :D and in one case she got teary-eyed over entirely the wrong song :D :D )

Good job!

So stoked you like it K, I wrote this song years ago. It was nice having my buddy John Deobke playing drums on this. We used to be in a band together years ago called The Shreddin Eddies. Thanks for listening Kayos!

on Better Get Ready by JohnMatteson
What a great groovy and flow with a huge and tasty, moody guitar play!!!
Though from the middle there is some slide, maybe in the acoustic guitar???
Perhaps, I'm wrong, if yes, I'm sorry ...
fistbump,
Danke

nice track John, great guitar, vocals are always on point as is the playing, you know i'm not a religious soul but today, i offered up a prayer to the fallen dead, its remembrance Sunday, lest we forget, we all want peace, will we ever get it, i very much doubt, i know what to expect when i press play, i listen because you always bring positive, i dont need to be religious to enjoy your work, well done again brother
