FDP Jams
07.) Experiment In Open G 07.) Experiment In Open G
I did an Open G tuning song last FAWM, so here's another. It's OK with some intonation issues -- but slide is hard (sniff, sniff!)
Girl, Can I Be Your Lover? Girl, Can I Be Your Lover?
I thought about how it might be sometimes just to write a fun little tune, instead of trying to write a great song.
Two Voices Two Voices
Ah, slide guitar! It really is a different instrument. My goal is two get half-way decent by February. That mean massive effort on right hand "damping" techniques. 50/90 weekly challenge: "Two Voices"
Girlfriend For The Weekend Girlfriend For The Weekend
Song written with a couple of real good writers during the MAB group tour in Nashville, July 2010.
Lil Sasquatch Lil Sasquatch
Shuffle Blues jam track from Rob Leach. I added a couple of guitars, lyrics and a little harp. Needs more harp, less guitar!
Once In A Lifetime Love Once In A Lifetime Love
This is why we do 50/90, FAWM, RPM and all those things that make us write songs. OK, my nephew was in town and we cranked up the recorder to get this song in the books. Lots more work to do, but gotta move on.
What If What If
RPM is doing a January challenge -- this year it is a film soundtrack. I was assigned the "regret sequence".
02.) West Texas Girl 02.) West Texas Girl
Story about a girl leaving home. She's not unhappy there -- just wants to see what's out there before she comes home and settles down.
03.) When That Hammer Comes Down 03.) When That Hammer Comes Down
Big sing along chorus type tune.
04.) Old and Gray 04.) Old and Gray
Civil War Tune about a guy who is injured and might be dying.
The Last Swallow The Last Swallow
My server's down so I gotta post it here. Late Skirmish
12.) Clap of Thunder 12.) Clap of Thunder
Jam track by Rockit! at FDP. I re-did it BIAB and added some instruments.
Thunderbird Motel Thunderbird Motel
Staying at the comfort inn in Erie PA today and across the street is the Thunderbird Motel -- sounds like a song. A block down the road is the Flamingo Inn -- song for tomorrow. Quick recording on my laptop mic and audacity.
Wake Up Wake Up
Great jam track from Rockit! at the FDP. I added lyrics and a couple of guitar parts.
30 Years Ago 30 Years Ago
Another written when I was on the road. I am not sure why these sordid, down on luck songs pop up then -- but they do.
Hey American Dream Hey American Dream
Clayville placed an excellent Keef inspired jam down and I add lead guitar and voices (lots of 'em)
