A surprise upload from a older collab I did with a musical friend. He played all the keys (piano,organ and sax) I did the guitar tracks. I left some space for new inserts :)

A soundfile I discarded earlier while fooling around with my Fender strat, Cybertwin and Okko Diablo overdrive. After listening again while working I decided to mix it and place it here anyway.

With the thought in mind that 'Less is more' I played this one. Leaving lots of space for this beautiful backing track from Lawrence Fritts

Straight Ahead Blues

Alone in the crowd Alone in the crowd

I decided after some minor retakes and edits to leave this one as it is. I like it to much to do any more damage to it :)

Band, uhm..well, just one person, me :)
Band/artist history
At the age of 12 me and my parents were told in a local music store that since I'm left handed, I couldn't play the guitar (Yes they believed it). The result was I didn't get a guitar. In stead I got an accordion. I actually had lessons for2 or 3 years. Afterwards I sold the accordion and bought me a right handed guitar. At first I tried to play right handed but that didn't work for me. I changed the string order to lefty and there it started. When I was in my 30's I finally bought me my first real left handed guitar, A used ' 83 Tokai goldstar Strat. That was the time I started making real progression. I still have and love the Tokai Goldstar.
