Hobo's Hell Hobo's Hell
It took me many takes to get this one across the line. It really is about a dream, not any real persons, and nightmares. Toward the end I try to fuse my memory and its closeness to the nightmares. Difficult to explain. God inspired too.
Funnel Web Plays Her Strings Funnel Web Plays Her Strings
Written May 9th 2013. I'll have to re-do this I think, sometime. Originally called Spider Milk Breathing Blues.
Alien Jamming At The Next Station Up The Line Alien Jamming At The Next Station Up The Line
Riff borrowed from an idea I had five years ago, from that developed a bridge, I liked that bridge, so this, bridge is the leading riff. Do I use the word "riff" correctly? Chords then. I liked these chords. Train sound:CBJ_Student, free sound.org
The Old Man and The Siren The Old Man and The Siren
Story of an old man, somewhat immune to the siren living on the island he inhabits. Lots of special effects/sound grabs from freesound.org here. How long this man has been on the island, no one knows.
Still Gives Me The Jitters Blues Still Gives Me The Jitters Blues
Created/finished on 28 June 2015 at 5:58 pm, but went in the "not published" folder. I must have had my reasons, possibly the references or the same old rhythm.
Aliens Jam At The Train Station Aliens Jam At The Train Station
Old chords I found in my backlog, and re-learnt them.
All Along The Watchtower edit 2 All Along The Watchtower edit 2
"Thunder, Very Close, Rain, A.wav" by InspectorJ (www INVALID haw.co.uk) of Freesound.org, and second thunder by FlatHill of Freesound.org. Bob Dylan wrote the song and music. I just came across the chords by chance. This is prob up only one week.
Ants Dance Briefly In the Middle of the Night Ants Dance Briefly In the Middle of the Night
The sound effect is to evoke happiness.
Number To Nowhere Blues Number To Nowhere Blues
I appreciate this is the same old rhythm I often use, but there was a pickle and and I'm wriggling. I found a new guitar to play that sounds really, really nice, and this is the first thing that popped when I played it.
Apple Shows Lucky His New Song In 1936 Apple Shows Lucky His New Song In 1936
Influenced by Lou Reed (Vicious) and Bob Dylan (All Along The Watchtower), although at first I thought I was playing Dior Straights. I changed the chords on Watchtower and liked the rhythm which lead to easy lyrics, a la Vicious influence.
The Robot Rushes Through The Night The Robot Rushes Through The Night
Very simple riff, with simple bridges.
Apple and Lucky's Bid For Twenty Cents Apple and Lucky's Bid For Twenty Cents
Actually this is created to prevent a disaster of negativity from creeping into my styles. OK, I shouldn't feel that strongly about things, at least nothing should explode. So, really, Apple and Lucky needed the busk, not the 20 cents.
Not Tough Enough Blues Not Tough Enough Blues
I'm not pursuing this piece. The lyrics, singing from the chords, the riff, are "Where does she go, what does she do?", which rules me out, save an equal love, and I'm not a father. This could be a favour from an uncle I suppose.
All I Want Blues All I Want Blues
Occurred to me this evening after getting into another new rock rhythm, God knows how or why. Lyrics came easily. I think that's the matter, oddly, conversely, at the moment. Too many lyrics. I will rerecord this later when I'm playing better.
Don't Wake the Sleeping Giant Faster Don't Wake the Sleeping Giant Faster
I'm more comfortable with my guitar at speed. This way my mistakes are less obvious.
Don't Wake The Sleeping Giant Don't Wake The Sleeping Giant
My old $125 Starfire acoustic nylon is not that old I guess, but I wonder. This is just the acoustics to a fairy tale I haven't written yet. Music, some artwork ... another little job I give myself!
The Alien's Broken Guitar Blues The Alien's Broken Guitar Blues
Don't look at me!! I'm just ideas!!
The Robot Dances Underwater The Robot Dances Underwater
This started as a song, with lyrics, believe it or not. Couldn't use it right now, maybe I'll change my mind about the subject. But there was nothing wrong with the chords!!
The Robot Adjusts To The Alien Blues The Robot Adjusts To The Alien Blues
I learnt to play red Rooster along time ago. This is an adjustment to make the tune more interesting to me. Turned out better than I expected, seeing as it was spur of the moment. The cartoon to this song is in the wrong place and is only temporary
Leave Me Standing On Nothing But Air Leave Me Standing On Nothing But Air
Just a "don't leave me" blues.
