Description : My wife asked me to cover this song, so this goes out to her.
Highly technical guitar work on this and I hope I did this classic justice.
This is off of Clapton's album "Slowhand". Slowhand....hmmm; whatever lol. Seemed pretty fast to me while I was playing it.

Just Bad Ass.... Will have to play this for a few friends!! When I first seen it I was hoping it was an instrumental I could sing to.(Clapton Fan On Board) Then heard the vocals and couldn't turn it off. Awesome job!!

Awesome job on this man, an epic cover of a true classic. Guitars are super tight and sound almost note for note to the original. Love the multi track separation too. Vocal track is very good ! We used to do this song in a blues band I played in years ago. To be honest I grew to hate it, only because we played it so much. Its not one of my faves from Clapton but it is great song. It sounds so simple and clean but in reality its not all that easy to play correctly. Major props bro. Next: Crossroads or Sunshine of Your Love ?

TY. I agree with you that it isn't an easy one to play; it's very misleading that way lol.
I'm currently working on a Supertramp cover right now so no to another Clapton song at this time. Possibly in the future though.

Description : One another guy who ordered this track then didn't pay and doesn't respond to my messages.

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.

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.

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...
