Description : I've been recording/playing alot of downtempo clean tone stuff so thought it's about time for something a bit more upbeat. Played on my 3 string fretless Lone Rider homemade guitar with a wine bottle neck slide By J. Ross Guitars, Boneshaker 2 string cigar box bass, addictive drums. Love it or hate it, I'm having way too much fun and that's what counts :D

There's so many pigeonholes and sub genres of sub genres, Blues was the best most broad description. Yes, blues rock would actually be the correct genre. Here's a live jam of another intense heavy blues rock jam :D Poor quality from being recorded on my webcam but always to fun to see this stuff in action. https://www.facebook.com/burton.philbrick/videos/pcb.535061457112869/1375491532637436/?type=3&theater&ifg=1

On Facebook I'm involved with a group regarding learning to play and writing music. This weeks lesson was about finding your inspiration and putting together a song. Trains and blues just go together :D

I typically don't do covers and Hate telling people I'll do something and I end up not getting to it. What I'll do over the next couple days is record some portions of the song and share them privately with you to try and incorporate into your project. I downloaded some midi files to get the notes from and found various guitar and bass tabs, now to learn it. Check out Shane Speal and his Snake oil band doing Billie Jean, very cool cigar box guitar rendition. I love rockin' and inspiring others to do the same :D Thanks Nick :D Watch for a private message with a link to mediafire for some Billie Jean stuff.

Money just ruins the fun and it becomes a job :D Like you, I do it because I love music and the joy it brings, Same with making my homemade guitars. I get alot of crap for not charging "enough" for them. Some things money just can't buy. You should've seen people's reaction to the musician Fat Knuckle Freddy when he played on homemade guitars at Maine's first cigar box guitar festival, it was like Jimi hendrix up there, then the crowd swarmed all of us that were vending, "who knew you could get sounds like that out of a guitar made with discarded junk!!" Just having so much fun it should be illegal ;) Thank you Sweetcherries, stay tuned, more to come.
Danke

Quick mix entertaining myself before work, I think I'm going to revisit it and possibly add some length to it. Sometimes we just need a good jam session to get a break from the troubles of the real world. I like that nick name :D Caught my attention on your tune there earlier. Ive been making some loops for this community and been very impressed with the quality of the tracks people create with them. On facebook I've been involved in a group teaching others to play, soon I'll be using some of your great blues loops to teach about digital music, loops and composing around them. Always a pleasure Danke, handshake, guess I'll call myself Slider ;) Don't you play bass too? Bet you never tried a 2 string bass, it's a bit different!

Description : Did you ever have those days when you are totally distracted? You find yourself switching from one thing to another due to overwhelm - say hallo to 'ADHD' But this time we could focus on the song and used some loops from Hysteria and Bigishi. And a big thanks to James who did help us with the guitars. (He was in the mood for blues :-) We are on Bandcamp as kayos2 Tell us what you think of this track....

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 : KesstA or "What's ur prob" Blues is an excuse for having fun recording several tracks of guitar and trying to make them sound alright all together. If it sounds a bit messy or jammy, well it's part of it.

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.
