Accepting Squealing Guitar

Here is a new cut of my original.

It is the chill version (no 2nd voice part). Luke, do you remember those wicked guitar squeals that you wanted to add? How are those sounding in your mind? They sound good in mine. For the 'nother version, click the Broonhead link and go to the Nov 01 Christmas Morn vid.

Hit Homework

Lucas, I want for you to listen to this song—one of my favorites from Broonhead (me & 4-Slyce)—and see if you can figure out how to play the same guitar. Could you do that? Be honest, what do you think? Supposedly these are the chords used::
D#minor C# G# A#
D#minor C# G# F# F

I'm thinking of adjusting the lyrics to these::

//PROLOGUE//
His name was Russel, and he was sitting at home. Sitting in amazement, but more like disbelief, of his not knowing before that the task would be a whore galore. He was wondering, thinking and even pondering, realizing the power within—the power of love.
He never wanted more than love.

//SINGING//
I never wanted more than love.
The most I’ve wanted is enough.
I wanted you to shut me up—
with whispered words and quiet touch.

I never wanted more than love.
About the same as anyone.
Never at odds with my feelings,
never at odds with my first thought.

//CHORUS//
He’s a simple man with sexy-exies
Try that on for size
Try that on, 4-Slyce
4-Slyce—has never had it so nice

//SINGING MORE//
I never wanted more than you.
It felt so right((back))when it was new.
Now I get less by wanting more.
This less-than-love won’t see us through.

Less. Than. Love. Won’t. See. Us. Through.

Fuller Length Feeling

This time the song is fuller. In this track I try to feel out the chorus a little bit, but I have no idea what notes to set it to, and no idea whether it could work. L, give me some feedback. I like the song this way with more breaks between piano notes—obviously we'll need to throw in some keeler guitar. Full 2 minutes.


The video is 2004 in review.

more the same

I don't know exactly what new this version offers anyone, maybe—
it's instrumental
it's on a keyboard drumtrack
it's all recorded, no garagetracking, so it proves I'm getting better at actually playing keys.


I pulled out the Hohner harmonica and started trying to learn it. I played "When the Saints Go Marching In."

Oh, and the reason all these clips are about the same length is that my keyboard memory is only that long, so when I record a track it can only be that much.
