Burtsbluesboxes

Stop following me you stalker!!

Absolutely beautiful. Love the minimal approach, so vulnerable and personal, vocals and only guitar. We've become a society of intolerance and bigots, religion is no help either, I'll leave it at that. If we would work together, embrace each others differences then we could accomplish amazing feats, and maybe if there is intelligent life in the universe they just may contact us instead of sitting back learning what NOT to do from us. http://imgur.com/JwNw6PH Making slow progress, but here's a teaser :p

Any custom requests for that train tin cbg , like right or left handed, oak/maple fretboard/neck, colors or natural wood, anything special written on it (I sign and date them all and write built for 'name')? Got an oak neck blank ready to go and a maple piece ready to become a neck blank. I'll pm you to work out postage details when get to that point, will be a few weeks. Any customizations are simple when I know in advance of the build. Stay safe in those riots!!

But school is cool... Just like this tune :p

Hey TA, funeral doom may not be your thing but I'm sure you can appreciate this ending :p https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HfOq05Y_vwA

The title made me think of Incantation's Onward to golgotha album. Definitely as brutal and dark \m/ Good to see you hanging around again. We can always use more dark tunes!

Music soothes the savage beast. Peaceful protest gets alot further than violence. The country is divided and people are acting fkn insane! I'm out in the country so not much going on around here, nice and quiet just the way I like it. 'If we focus on helping each other, maybe we can climb back into the land of the sane' you speak truth right there CM. If more people would just see that. Keep doing what you do, loving the tunes!

Proof there's an upside to being insane ;)

I like it better with the piano opening :p You have a guitar? How come we never hear you play it??!! Oh yeah, love how it develops further. The guitar is a nice addition, as you know how much I love guitar. No download :'( You forgot the disgusting SPLAT at the end, when your brains hit the wall and slowly slide down. Awesome TA!!!

Nice and dark, just the way I love my music :p Plz keep it up TA, this is great! No criticism from me. Exactly what I love so much about Looperman.

I like the minimalistic approach, just some synths playing with the drums. Has a bit of surrealistic in love feeling.

I like that piano, and the strings really make a nice atmosphere :p Very powerful and emotional, just the way I like it. You'll meet someday if it's meant to be. CM Nailed it! Lonely and beautiful describes it perfectly. Oh the images this brings...

Oohh fk yeah! Plz don't stop! I post alot of music exclusively to this site. Looperman has had alot to do with keeping me making music, and is only the BEST music community on the web :p

You only think you're going to win cuz you haven't heard my cookie tin guitar yet ;) LOL! Strong contender for sure! I LOVE music boxes!!! Loops work great for inspiring and building tunes. I like the distorted guitar chops, beautiful acoustic playing and singing. Great atmosphere. I'm getting excited to hear what Sunny can do with a homemade guitar.

Love the bluesy guitars :p Perfect the way it is! A touch of reverb does add a cool sound to vocals, and Evisma nailed it, a million dollar studio would ruin it. After studying and studying mix/mastering and not being happy with the sound I got, I decided more raw and less messed with was they way I preffered my own music.

This is where I started https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pmzvfyOizV8 Diagonally attached looks neat, I've seen a couple made that way. Cigar box nation is a great resource as well for plans and info.

Just downloaded all you harmonica loops for use in my blues tracks, thank you :D I build and play cigar box and various other homemade guitars for blues. I'll have to send you some maybe you can jam on harmonica on some in the future :D Great things come out of experimenting! Of to check out your site.

Pay shipping all I ask, I'll find out how much but not a big deal either way, as I don't expect it will be much for domestic shipping. I sent 8 license plates to California for a guy in Africa (I get those free too), his friend brought them to him because it was going to be $80 to send them to Africa!! $16 domestically. Another Looperman user, Designed Impression, is getting one soon too, he's also from southern California. I'll let you know when I build it, and your name (actually Sunny's) is on it ;) Mainly salvaged/free materials I get from my job at a dump, The only thing I buy is guitar tuners, piezo pickups to make them acoustic/electric, the 1/4 inch jacks and strings (cheap strings), but I build them on the job so I'm getting paid, shhh. The last 2 weeks of this month I'll be making a few. Just the joy they bring people as well as myself making them, is worth more than money to me and I'd LOVE to hear others on here playing and getting joy on an instrument I made :p I think I found Sunny's FB pg.

Beautiful :D I love acoustic guitar!! I really need to record mine more often. Funny about the train story, I just got a Carhart tin with a train on it and I was thinking that would make a great guitar for someone that used to hop, drive or have something to do with trains. Maybe it's meant to be your's ;) I used to use Audacity as well, but was turned onto Reaper, it's free to download and use in 'Demo' mode forever, you just get this annoying splash screen asking you to buy a license. Love that slow paced lead, works beautiful over the acoustic. Live instruments have so much more of an intimate sound, love it! More please!

Well hello fellow Reaper user ;) Oh yeah, mushy as hell :p You have a good chance at winning bragging rights with this one!

Instruments have a way of saying things words simply can't express. You nailed it with that piano.

Your guitar seems a bit out of sync in places, the main riff isn't synced with the drums. the other riffs are fine. Cool tune though, would sound great with some soloing over it :D Instead of cutting the guitar off at the end why not let it ring out and decay away?

We're going to have to resurrect Silverman the hearse driver too :p

Beautiful.... More please!! :D We need more singer songwriters around here.

That salt circle will definitely keep the slugs away ;) Funny how we can hear other artists in one another's work. I did one song that sounded just like the rolling stones but I'm not a big stones fan hahaha It's your mellow vocal delivery style and gothic sounding synths. More please :D Time to watch the Thing.
