SEEKING
Band to Join.ABOUT
I tend to gravitate towards blues and blues-based rock, but have also the last couple of years really been working on neo-classical things. I like melodic metal and I also like Latin flavored things. I'm really good at bouncing ideas and adding parts to songs. Not so great at creating entire finished songs myself. Too many options. Please be mindful what I post are ideas, typically a (very) crude drum track and no bass. I bought a TASCAM recorder and would love to get into collaborative efforts.

Manic_Blues
Manic_Blues Genre: Blues
I take no credit for the backing track. It came from the AUsher Track channel on YouTube. All the guitar in front is mine. A bit manic perhaps, but fun.

Was working on my tone, trying to get more bite. Loaded a drum track off of WikiLoops and off we go.

I am trying to develop a more natural feel in this type of music. A work in progress.

I experimented with playing a lot of double stops and partial chords versus single notes.

Listened to Glenn Miller a bit and apparently it rubbed off on me.

Song23 Track number: 1 Year: 2018 Genre: Other
I was trying to convey what I was feeling at the moment, and although the quality of the recording and my tone are really bad, I wouldn't change a thing.

Minor Blues
Minor Blues Track number: 1 Year: 2019 Album: N/A Genre: Blues
Found this in my "Ideas" folder, but it's fairly hashed out and presentable.

AB
AB Year: 2018 Album: N/A Genre: Rock
I was trying to come up with some heavy sort of melodic metal theme, but it ended up sounding more like the Scorpions. This is two guitar parts which gives a general idea.

Idea_008
Idea_008 Track number: 1 Year: 2017 Album: N/A Genre: Rock
Threw this together Christmas Eve. It's an old Boss DR-220 drum machine and three guitar parts. Each of the three leads are one take off the top of my head, but it puts the general feel across.

AA
AA Track number: 1 Year: 2018 Album: N/A Genre: Rock
I finally got the backing track for this like I wanted. I never seem to mix the lead guitar out front enough, but I did this time. Sorry for the some of the manic phrasing and the plodding drum machine. These are not finished products, but generally just ideas.

I was wondering what it would sound like if rather than bending, I tried as much as possible to slide to notes.
-
Song15
Song15 Track number: 1 Year: 2018 Genre: Rock
This was intended as a song with prominent vocals.
