Beautiful spring day here, what a brilliant tune to be listening to while enjoying the weather, brilliant guitar work real stand out for me, weather sounds help give depth and feelings working nicely with guitar, very nice work...fav mate...peace n much Respect...mosaic...
I clicked fave 30 seconds in just for the sound of those guitars. Or guitar. Sounds plural. Love the piece - it's perfect for what it is. It's a really really great sound. Makes me salivate to write a song to that sound...
Cigar box guitars :D Such a simple but amazing sounding instrument! Yes, I layered a second guitar part, played on the same one though. http://imgur.com/gallery/QZBjOoT I still have these ones. The black one in the center is the one I played on here and Ghost of a guitar, my fav. Been making them for a year now, giving them away as gifts. I have more tunes on various other ones but cleaning up my page I took them down, hear some more of them here though https://www.reverbnation.com/1096781/album/117064 Once I used a violin bow on my 2 string cookie tin, who ever knew a cookie tin could make sounds like that!! Thanks CitizenMofo, more homemade guitars and music played on them in the works.
I think Tekreck described it aptly...awesome....so I just stopped by to tell you that your pages is a mess...I can`t even keep track of what year today is ...haha....man you really nailed the whole vibe in this one (but you have been doing that consistently of late)....absolutely top notch & a big fav....Have you thought about doing an album of your cigar box tunes?...it would def appeal to me....well done mate....cheers...Ed
Yes a very fitting description :p Seems anything I play on that electric 3 string falls into that category ;) My page is an absolute mess!! Any surprise as I'm a cleaner for a living hahahaha. I'm going to delete everything and reupload making it nice and tidy again. I've made and given away a few cds of cigar box guitar music. My co worker played one at work and the guys kept looking at me, this is you? really?? I'm going to set up a band camp account and put up an album for free download as well as on Reverbnation once I figure out how. Joe Cramer put together this one of collabs we've done, not all is cbgs but should hold you over. https://www.reverbnation.com/1096781/album/117064 Always a pleasure Ed, stay tuned for more, new one up today.
wow, what a tensioned feeling here...on a hot, desert day the lonely hero found water...or stg like that...Tarantino music's and so on...great snippet...bravo Burt...
I get alot of fx from freesound or record stuff myself. I love the depth it can add to songs. Guitar is my homemade 3 string electric cigar box guitar, yep made from a cigar box ;) Thanks Fl4zh
Stuck on the river as the ice wells up the sides of my boat. Too warm now, CanĀ“t even go Ice fishing yet. Never seen a January like this in Ottawa. Feels like March. Song fits the blues we are feeling not being able to skate down the rideau canal yet.
Emotive and awesome as usual Burt.
Steve
Thanks Steve, your favorite guitar again hahaha It is one warm January! I don't remember it being this warm in a long time, was wondering if you guys were as warm being a bit further north. Have the zombies made it up there yet? I heard about some kids falling through the ice where I used to live, they're fine, but that river froze every year and people would use it as a shortcut to get intown, not this year!
Very well done Burt
This is truely something in a style i love.
And it cries in me ears for some deep dark and warm vocals.
the sound of your new CBG creation is excellent.
We should do something in this style when we do our next collab
I definitely want to record more like this. I'll send you the stems for this to play with, I was thinking vocals be cool addition. In the next few days I'll try and get more recordings done as well. My newest one I need to change the bridge to a thinner bolt to lower the action, works great for slide but I get sharp notes when fretting them. Watch for some stems :p
Going very well Jamid thanks :D Now if I can just find more music time!! Enthralling is a perfect description. cbgs seem to have that effect on people, especially when played slow like telling a tale. I love this one https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wz5wMGovkuQ
Great composition. You really captured the essence of the art sonically. You can almost see the water rippling as pieces of ice slide down into the depths.
Been so busy lately I haven't done much music. I had Martin Luther King day off and came across Dan's art composition which I usually participate in. Winter is the theme this time so I had to blow the dust of my cbg and play a little something :p I love the way those guitars can tell a tale all on their own! Thanks TA I trying to do one for a pic from the dust bowl era, not for any competition, just for fun. Pictures have a way of inspiring audio tales.

Description : What happens when a short but hypnotic celtic intro turns into something completely different? The most noteworthy collaborator on this track (yeah you guessed, it's Tumbleweed) answered correctly to this question! A newly patented musical genre is what happens...yes..."SlovenianCelticCowboyMusic" is born. Sometimes we just have to cut off from being too serious...The version presented here has been carefully chosen from 4856 or so mixes...
As always all thanks to my dear friend Ed who makes such wonders possible to happen.....
Description : Another simple track... Wonder if my genre selection fits for the tune. :)
Electric guitars by me, every other samples are from the site only. Applied loops :

Description : This is a country/folk track in a genre I don't do much, so I thought I'd give it a go. It also has some instruments I don't use much, namely the banjo, mandolin and fiddle. I got the title from a movie I saw a few months ago. Hope you enjoy, Scott.
Description : One of my oceanics. It is a Greek song, short but full of my sentiments about the sea and our land. I am glad to share it with the listeners of LM and of course my friends, co-workers of music.
Description : A folk rock ballad done in 3/4 time.
I am performing all guitars, vocals, bass, shaker and tambourine. Drums and French horns written in MIDI. 2 Apple percussion loops used.
Description : I wanted to do something different like i do normaly. And I think that I was successful.
A -drum Ā“n chill folk song-. A kind of hippie music in colorful garb of the modern era.
At the end of the track there is a bonus.
Something in the way of bonfire music.

Description : Well as you all know by now. I do love to tell stories in music. And for you that didnt know already. Iam a story teller. Its something i like to do a lot. Than this song came about through a dream of mine. I simply try to translating it into audio and sound. And well this is the result of that translation. It is again a classical, folkish like song. I just love these kind of music of old. Iam a sucker for that. And yes iam a traditionalist myself as well. So enjoy & one love all.
Description : Wrote it on a relaxing Sunday morning. Acoustic guitar rhythm with an acoustic lead, bass and guiro. Updated: removed some percussion, remixed and mastered.
