Another cover by Krosstown Xpress having fun in the studio with Seppo mixing our challenge!!! No Coke was involved but a few shots experimenting and laughs enjoyed!!!

Got in the mood to monkey around and let the fingers fly were they may and see what happens?? Inspiration come from Oz with ruby red slipper's and a silly monkey hehehe....I'm in trouble!!! LOL

Saturday night jam trying to come up with something a little different but had a friend in mind from Georgia who is in a fight so to speak with life so this go's out to you and hope it brings you a smile my dear friend!!! :) Your not alone....not on my watch!!! ;)

This is our first song done mixed and mastered by a producer Seppo and hope you enjoy our effort's......more to come!!! Thanks for checking it out!!! :D

Were trying to set up the studio with alot of help from a friend that knows the biz on how to do it and alot of bugs to work out but were getting there!!! Thought you might get a kick out of this?? Cheer's from us all!!! :D

https://soundcloud.com/keitonie/blues-collab @Keitonie had this cool little blues track posted for a collab he put together with Bass & Drums and give it a raking over for some fun!!! :D

There's a particular vocalist on here and we have talked about doing a collab a few time's but she is 99% Jazz so if you can't beat them join them so this is what I had in mind but if the backtrack dosen't work for her I had fun regardless experimenting!!! :-)))) Some of you will figure it out....the rest.....you may find out??? hehehe!!!! :p Guitar will be redone obviously....practice jam!!!

https://soundcloud.com/roger-b-train/sets/just-a-mood-playlist Started this Just a Mood idea a couple years back and could not come up with a name for this song so will just add it to the collection of projects collected so far!!! The Saga continue's!!! :D Hope you enjoy <3 Will see if it's a Lucky 13 :-))))))

https://soundcloud.com/syntaleta My lovely wonderful friend Syntaleta aka Tink sent me a picture while she was on holidays in Cyprus and it stuck with me for some reason being a actual eclipse that happened mid July but anyway got in a floydish mood tonight and give it a ride.....maybe not the best sound?? but I liked the take so tried to fix it the best I could!! Perfection is not a easy task....always on the hunt for the moon!!! :D

I love Spanish guitar and this is totally out of my league but started off with a slow Flamenco style track to get a feel for it just to try....I'm wrestling with myself trying to stay away from the blues in this one and learn all these outside the box notes?? Anyway this is how far I made it after 3 days of playing the same track over and over to get the feel...speed will come in time if I keep playing it but a lot easier to listen to artist that no what there doing for SURE!!!!! :D

https://soundcloud.com/wane-of-summer/jaded Sander put this wonderful track together and I love working around piano as some of you may know?! :) Anyway he give me the go ahead to try this out and he was happy with the results!! Hope you enjoy our effort's!! Just a jam & Thanks Sander for letting me play along!!! Cheer's

https://soundcloud.com/paploviante-and-friends/back-on-the-road-open-collab Paul you hit a home run with me from time to time!!! This so reminds me of Gary Clark Jr in the style and hope to hear more from this track!!! Wish I could sing and do it like I hear it which is many ways/ Male or female but it's a start....let's see were the road leads us!!! :D

https://soundcloud.com/user-342548892/fathers-day-open-collaboriginal-minor-blues Tom put this up as a open collab and it's been awhile since we did anything together and I always question myself if it's good enough but settled on this!!! He's a hard act to follow!!! Congrates on the new Tele Tom!!! Cheer's :D Hope you enjoy :) Sounds like it....Happy Father's Day!!! ;)

https://soundcloud.com/the-glen-granthem-band Glen put this cool blues backtrack together and gave it a ride for a little fun.....Whiskey included!!! :D Thanks Glen....Hope you enjoy!!! :~)))

Some songs should never be covered but this was a challenge from a friend from 3 years ago and she's still waiting until now!!! She said it dosen't need vocals or perfect in any way so found a backtrack and give it a go....No One can play it like Eric and it's a very personal song for him but I have to get this done somehow because I said I would try it without being judged to severely!! Maybe I will but I was as careful as I could possibly be.....She's aware I can't sing so bare with me!!! :D Headphones might be a good idea.............. LMBO

Only did the guitar work over a backtrack but haven't played in awhile with life getting in the way with another hurdle to get over and a couple of you are aware but such is life!!! Gotta keep moving forward but this hurdle will be a bit tricky!!! Hope you enjoy regardless....will figure out this puzzle??!!

https://soundcloud.com/jimenaarroyo https://soundcloud.com/matham-wilsoned Matt & Jimena put this lovely track together and they sent it to me hoping I could add a little guitar along with it to spice it up some?? I give it a go and they seem to be happy with it :) Very flattered to think they would ask so tried the best I could!!! Hope you enjoy!! Cheer's from us all!! <3

https://soundcloud.com/paploviante-and-friends/circuit-paploviante-open-collab Paul this track I love....have many different ideas for it but will go with this.....Never worked with a brass section before which is how the name come about hahaha...Hope you enjoy and anyone who takes the time....Thanks!! <3

https://soundcloud.com/syntaleta/eternal-love Helen sent me this track awhile ago and sent her a sample of how I felt it with adding a splash of guitar and Tink liked it!!! :))) Anyway here is my version from her beautiful original that she asked me to post after hers was up....hope ya feel the love!!! <3

The seed was planted by @Anightowl with people sending what there fav. song was on FB so looked up a backtrack and give it a ride.....Train style....no right...no wrong....just a jam that seemed fun to try!!! :D Thanks for the idea Lynneee!!! xx :-))

https://soundcloud.com/marco-seekx ~ Marco had this cool Latin flava'd track that had guitar in it already but asked him if I could have a play along....didn't know he was gonna send the guitar already on it but hey.......what's life without a challenge!!! Played it as is... and this was the out come!!! 2 guitar's are better than one....RIGHT??!! Had fun playing around it....Thanks Marco!!! Cheer's :D

https://soundcloud.com/milanazilnik/dark-affairs-by-milana-zilnik-video Milana and I spent last year together with her wonderful husband Arty and we celebrated our Birthdays together!! Mine was April 8th and Milana is April 14th so thought I would try this open collab she offered up and wish my dear friend a Happy Birthday in advance!! This is a tricky track to play but give it a go....Following Milana even when she's being nice is work for the average joe!! :D Anyway just having fun and HAPPY BIRTHDAY Milana!!!! Supplyz!!!! :D <3

https://youtu.be/8StcSAAktic Griff Hamlin was a VERY LARGE part in my guitar learning adventure and the above link is a call and answer sort of practice track he was kind enough to put together for anyone so seeing how he lives in California and I'm stuck up here in the Great White North we had a little jam via the net!! Hope to meet him in person one day to thank him for all his help over the past 6 years!! If you want to learn Blues Guitar he's the man to look into!!! Anyway hope you enjoy and don't laugh @ my mistakes....played it as if it were live and this take wasen't to to bad.....still get nervous playing along with him but I tried LOL I KNOW I'm in crap already coming in on the one :(

https://soundcloud.com/vocalatti https://soundcloud.com/paplo-repost/cool-times-paploviante-open-collab Paul put this wonderful backtrack together for a open collab and I approached Annette/Vocalatti about this and she come up with a bit of synth work to add along with the lyric's/vocals & anything else I may have forgotten then she sent it to me and I was floored to be honest so pulled up my socks and added a few notes and this was the result!! Hope you enjoy and Happy Easter from us all!!! <3 <3 <3

https://soundcloud.com/sarah_de_carlo/out-of-control-epic-action-underscore Found another cool track by Sarah and had intentions of adding guitar but it didn't seem to work very well so just tried a Bass-line to go with it and this was the out come!!! Sarah did all the mixing and some fun practice for me on bass!!! Hope you enjoy....original is posted above to listen!! Cheer's from us both :)

This track is a bit looong but it was a experiment to see how much I could pull out a basic Em backtrack....gave it a run a few time's but finally made it to the end....was gonna make it 4 min's but pffff....easier for you to stop than me hahahaha ;) If you make it to the end....Welcome aboard!!! Shot's on the house!!!

https://soundcloud.com/mrinal-desai/symphony-of-tears-tcm-underground-official-motion-picture-soundtrack Mrinal sent me this track to add a little to it....I think he thought I would add guitar but tried some different strings bells & whistles!!! Anyway he liked what he heard and made me laugh with his comment's....hope you enjoy!! Cheer's from us both!! <3

https://soundcloud.com/sarah_de_carlo/the-missing-epic-hybrid-orchestral-soundtrack Met Sarah a week or so ago and I fell in love with this track and asked her if it was ok to add a few notes along side of this and she went out of her way to even mix it for me in her studio!! Very talented young lady from Italy that's into composing soundtracks for movies so very flattered to have worked one piece with her!! Thanks Sarah!!! :-))) https://soundcloud.com/sarah_de_carlo Check out more of Sarah's work here!!!

https://soundcloud.com/user-813002438 BeDre sent me this track to add some guitar....He was thinking of deleting it!! Just give it a ride and this was my reaction!!! Hope you enjoy....All Aboard!!! :D The ride is FREE from 2 recently retired guys having fun!!! <3

Come across this backtrack for Further on up the Road and just had to give it a ride!! Love Eric Clapton and not sure I did it justice with a instrumental but had to give it a ride!!! Good intentions were implied!! Left bracket's to see if the title could be filled without looking here :D

https://soundcloud.com/demelia-denton/alien-jaunt-challengedownload-add-guitar-and-upload Marco & Demi put this up as a Open Collab and hope to hear more but this was my fun little project for the evening!! Hope you enjoy and have a go @ it!!! :-))) Cheer's!!............Thanks for the jaunt in the park Marco & Demi XX <3

https://youtu.be/KGMgMAK1zMY Been studying this different language on guitar for past couple days and the gentleman in the above link supplied a jam track to work with!! What a brain twister but it's slowly coming along!! All that smoke is me thinking hahaha!!! What a blast and I finally get it....somewhat??? The track is 9 min's long...sorry about the abrupt ending!! Didn't want you to fall asleep!! test 1-2!!!!..... Cheer's :D

Big Santana fan and going to see him next month (Mar/22/18) 13th row with my band mates and just got in the mood to play along with Smooth!! Not easy to fill without vocals!!! Just say'in!!! LOL....call it a mood :D

Been messing around with my CASIO keyboards and learning some 3 note sounds/& a few notes to highlight this track so tried to figure it out over a blues track and the synth took some work let's say being a newbie...was asked why there was no guitar on the last one so spent about 5 min's doing that hahaha....Not the best but give it a spin!! Heads exploding trying to get this!!! :D If you don't like it....that's fine!! Just a effort!! ;)No loops or perfect samples!! plink a plink!!! LOL

Was messing with the keyboards past while and I remember Zimmerman saying if there are rules.....Break them!!! So I did?? Started off with a beat in my head and come up with this!!! Is there Crossroads for keys??? LOL I'm in Big trouble if there is!!! :D First try making something on my own!!

https://soundcloud.com/vocalatti https://soundcloud.com/paul-racle Paul put this really cool backtrack together called Sometimes https://soundcloud.com/paplo-repost/sometimes-paploviante-open-collab?in=lilli_dominique/sets/sometimes-paploviante-open And I give it a go instrumentally but I knew it needed vocals and I asked Annette if she was interested in giving this a go with me plus I was loving the idea of having one collab with her on vocals and I have to tell you!!! IT WAS WORTH THE WAIT!!! What a AMAZING Job she did!!! Thank you for this Annette and to Paul for making one little dream come true!!! :)) Sometimes they happen!! <3

https://soundcloud.com/paplo-repost/sometimes-paploviante-open-collab Paul put this cool collab together and had to let go to see what happens!!! This was the first take and loved it soon as I heard it!!! Thanks Paul :D

Was messing with Major/Minor/Dorian and learning pinched harmonics & some other note's that just happened along the way?? hahaha Howling at the Moon seems to cover this project!! :D Still cries but howling will come one day?? :-)) <3

https://soundcloud.com/brillbilly/our-genesis-chilled-alternative-rock Was tripping around the clouds and felt like playing something but unsure what until I give Chris a visit and the invitation he had written in his description I could not turn down!! The track is awesome as is but Train needs to play hahaha!!! Give it a go and check out the original!!!! Drew me in to try it....it's FREE!!!! :D Will do the same if interested just be nice with the comments ok??? Thanks from us both <3

The original is from the American composer Aaron Copland, written in 1942, Fanfare for the Common Man. https://soundcloud.com/user-813002438 Bernd asked me to add a solo on the later half of this classic and not sure I did it justice but we are just a couple common men enjoying music and give this difficult cover a go done also by Emerson Lake & Palmer but not to be confused or even related to such great artist!! Just our own little bit of fun!!! :D Thanks for listening if you do?? <3 Cheer's from us both!!!

Hope you enjoy...Dedicated to Irene for the lovely early retirement gift!!! Pink Floyd mini acoustic with all there signature's on it!!! Thank you very much!!! :D <3

Ever feel like you hit a wall and can't seem to make any progress?? That's pretty much were I'm @!!! This backtrack is about 17 minutes long and kept playing it over and over but this take I cut short....give myself 5 minutes to play something that felt good...kinda lost track of time Ooops!!! The battle continues!!!!!!! Just venting I guess and thanks if you listen!! Cheer's :D

Been messing with this track most of the day lol.... Blues is one thing but shuffles seem to be a wrestling match for me so worked on Major/Minor and a touch of Dorion plus be fast enough to make the changes....I think this is about as good as it's gonna get for now!! Fast track and no time to think which was the other exercise LOL I'm good @ that part thou!!! :D Anyway Board @ your own risk!!! Cheer's :D
