Viking Blues
Trying for Less - BmSlowBlues Trying for Less - BmSlowBlues
People were having goes on a forum at a backingtrack.com slow blues. I had a go at playing as few notes as possible. A tough challenge. I hope "less is more" rather than less. Hagstrom Viking Deluxe, Blackstar HT Drive and Vox Tonelab ST interface.

Gee It's a Slow Minor Gee It's a Slow Minor
Blues - slow Minor in G. Tokai LC85 over a backing track.
The Builder The Builder
A song based on a poem "The Builder". It's more about the human condition than bricks and mortar. The recording is a few years old (2006) and has flaws, but I haven't been able to recreate the atmosphere in what have been less flawed versions since.
Mellow4I Mellow4I
Laid back Jazzy-Blues on Tokai LC85. A beautiful backing track by Jerry Dean was the inspiration and sad thoughts of a recently passed away sister-in-law. RIP "I".
Old Man Of The Sea Old Man Of The Sea
Song somewhere in the Pink Floyd area style-wise. The first couple of minutes are more sounds and atmosphere than a song. The song kicks in at this point. Lead Guitar, Rhythm guitar, Vox and guitar fills by me, plus some Vocoder FX.
