I just found this site - I don't really write songs - I am a free form guitar player who occasionally
finds a lucky collection of notes to jam with...I recently found myself with a program (sonar 7) to mess around with
and there's where my jams are created....I have posted a couple on 'strat-talk' and sound cloud but no one seems
to care about what I am doing -- maybe with good reason, I don't know because there is no feedback at all.
I don't mind genuine critique and getting flamed by bad stuff -- Most of us know not to judge ourselves
I have been told how good I sounded on to me was a bad day, and thought I was smoking and nobody cared.....
And no, I don't need to keep my day job, I am retired
So I am turning to you, who know how to write and record with more skill than me, even though I am a bit of an old fart
I like to experiment, try new things and explore new ways of finding sounds - I started playing drums, then bass and
then guitar since I was a kid.....I never really wrote the tunes or lyrics, I was just happy to play leads or what was needed
to fill out what was happening....
I am originally from San Francisco -- that is also my musical background -- the heyday of the Haight -- that style has
influenced me most all my life....I'm not claiming to be a great player or skilled in technique. I just play what I feel at
the moment it is happening.
For the last 3 years I have been playing in my church praise team - not much room to go crazy there so I have to do it
in my virtual studio.....I'd like to post or link a couple of thing here if that's alright with you.....
