Description : This is my first track uploaded.

It's a rough mix, and it's missing keys, and a sax solo. (Drum loops from freeloops.com)

Constructive criticism is encouraged. (Be brutal, I can take it!)

If you have time take a listen and give Matney some feedback.

Sounds more like jazz than blues to me, its far too "happy" for blues ;)

But like the groove :)

I think you know by now the length. lol. I thought this had more of a reggae feel. even with a slight taste of ska, since, of course, the horns. If you throw a sax solo, you should have the bass play of off that. If you add keys, be careful not to crowd the space. The guitar already plays well, and the drums should stay back and just hold the groove. I like where this is going. I look forward to the finished piece man.

Uhhhh, I feel the summertime.. For some reason, and I am probably off base, but i feel Jack Johnson/G. Love/John Butler Trio feel. (I bet you have heard this guys, if not, CHECK EM OUT, You will dig)

Really good. Way better than I can do. lol.

It's hard to say man. It's short, but your use of space is good. Don't lose the space, it adds to your ambiance, in your favor.

Ohh and finally, 78 BPM... well, times that by 3/4, a 1/2? see what you can find? It might work. Go with your feel with samples, but then again, I feel like that guy who is giving financial advice but is always broke, because I am sucking with the looping.
And yah, this is one of the best tracks I have heard on looperman, AND you used loops from Looperman!

Elongate. That's all.

I agree with them it's too short !!!just when you start getting into it. Looking forward to hearing more of it when you got it where you want.

I agree with the other reviews. It's a good idea, just fill it in. It's much too short. Maybe add a bridge and a lead guitar in the middle and if you can sing add some voice.
It's really worth it.

Thank you. :) I hadn't even thought of adding vocals, though I'm comfortable singing. I guess it's all a matter of writing lyrics, now. :)

I totally agree. I have big plans for this, including a bridge, but I'm now limited to the musical skills (and free time) of my friends. 78 BMP is weird to find loops for.

Boogie crossover (its just a fragment), every instrument is performed and recorder live. Piano, double bass, drums.

Almost 8 hours of work.

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...
