Description : The reason for making this song was my trip through the Delta. It's flat just like Holland and I was touched by the poverty I saw and learned a lot about the history. I was aware of this because I've red a lot about it. Now I was there and saw it with my own eyes. At Dockery"s Plantation I felt the presence of so much blues. This is the first time I sing a song so don't judge me too hard on this because it took a lot of courage to do it.

Daniel,
Thank you for all nice reviews you have send. It's really an honor for a guitarplayer to get these reviews from a guitarteacher. I can't read music, most of the time I improvise the lead parts. I started as a basplayer. I think that's good because I had to learn about scales. And now I see them as patterns on the neck of my Strat.
And I was lucky I met some good (jazz) musicians who taught me a lot.
No we don't have a CD yet. That depends on how fast we write and produce more songs. I hope at the end of this year we will have a CD. Then I send one copy to you I promise. But I can sent you a wav of this song in high quality.

Thanks,
that you like my song.
Yes you have to go to the Delta. A lot of the original Deltablues is gone already. In our small country we have about 250 bluesbands so how could you have missed it?

Thank you, Slap.
Actually it's the first time I play slide on a Strat with a normal E-tuning with a Line 6 Toneport UX2. I've red you have one. Preset Crunch guitar Light Brown. I normally us the Strat for lead guitar so I did not change the height of strings. Because my hands are to small for normal slide playing I use it as a lapguitar.
To do this in a good way you have to play very precise with a soft touch. The effect of the preset gives it a Joe Walsh style. Advantage of normal E tuning is that the riff patterns are the same. Normally I play slide on a resonator with D-tuning but slowly I see the advantage of normal E-tuning.

This is a fun little blues groove. Like the little breakdown in the middle. Nice harp solo and excellent slide guitar. Very cool. Curious to see what else you got coming. Welcome to the smoothest music community site on the planet, looperman.com. Peace and Love, Six

Hi there,
Well, since you gave me a review meant for someone else, I decided to go ahead and listen to your song. I liked it actually as it had a good live sound to it. The guitar and Harmonica were good. The singing, I have heard worse...and I don't sing at all. So thanks for sharing your song with us, and if you have time, give a listen to my Blues song called 'Blues 101'.
It is a 2 part song with acoustic/slide and the second is a Fender strat/slide with a 'crunchy sound' at a little faster tempo. No Singing in it. I did much of it with Pro-Tools software, and sample/loop disk as far as the Drums. (I played guitar and Bass)

Description : Of all the classic Monster tales the Wolfman is definitely one of the saddest. Cursed, and destined to live as both man and monster. During the day he sits alone with his guitar, a prisoner of lonely existence, crying his heart out through his music. Then at night, the beast emerges, and in the dark under a full moon, he cry's as he rips the hearts out of his victims! Such is the life of a cursed bluesman!

Description : This is a tune dedicated to my friend, Nancy, who followed me to the clubs I played at for years, and is still following me with my studio work. Why do I dedicate this to her? Onnacounta cause she's soooooo naughty! She never liked violins, but loved her sax! Here's to you, Nancy. Anyway, this is a little blues track with some nice guitar and sex...oh, sorry, I mean sax.

Enjoy and download away.

Description : A sultry, seductive, and fairly short acoustic blues number. It is an instrumental and only took about 2 hours to write, record, and get a decent mix. Enjoy! Updated: I added some slight echo to the electric guitar and widened the stereo fields of the acoustic rhythm and leads.

Description : guitar on right run thru my friends mesa rec 25. It has an absolutely gorgeous tone. The guitar playing D, C #, B is run thru guitar rig 6. The the pushed back guitar on the left is also run thru the mesa. My UNC chapel-hill decision letter is coming out tomorrow and I'm super stressed. Whipped out my guitar and recorded some stuff. Hope you like it.

I love Mike Dean

Description : Fresh out of the studio after 10 weeks of deliberating, planning, writing and performing.
This could be classed as Country Blues or Southern Rock...either way I think it may get your toes tapping. So grab your partner and jump on the dance floor with this one.
I am performing the following instruments...vocals, electric guitars, slide acoustic, bass, harmonica, organ. I wrote the following instrument parts in MIDI....drums, percussion, piano, horns. This was a beast to master but I think it turned out okay.
No loops used.

Description : UPDATE 26/01/2014: Improved loads of things in what is probably my greatest chillout alternative blues piece. Ambient, ethereal, groove-based delta slide blues. Contemplative and melodic. Multiple, layered , sometimes shimmering resonator guitar parts with solid, warm synth bass, an ethereal bed of pads (which are actually guitars) and second electronic drumkit to contrast the acoustic kits. I thought this was perfect a few years ago but it wasn't (and still isn't). Now has clearer drums and lots of small awkward bits of guitar have been trimmed. Quite a minimalistic and short piece for me - I don't just keep bringing in new instruments, as I usually do. This should really chill you out...
