Liner Notes

Don't expect anything very creative here. Trying to make something starting with a guitar.

I'm not much of a guitar player and usually stick to keyboards. The high E string broke 3 years ago and I've yet to replace it.

The bass part was mostly with my thumb on the fretboard, because I used my callouses on the guitar parts.

I played the drums live on a midi keyboard to attempt to get a more live feel (as is the tradition in blues rock, lol).

I made most of this yesterday, but today I deleted a bunch of tracks that weren't working today and added synth solo. I wanted to do a guitar solo, but that just isn't something I can pull off.

I'm probably not going to really include this on an album, but it was fun to make

I came here for the title and stayed for the groove. Some great ideas here :)

Thanks, nadine

Gotta respect playing through the pain! This track has a great heavy feel to it. Fun change at :54 and I think you could call 1:25ish (or even earlier) a guitar solo! Really groovy melodies and solid harmonies throughout.

Thanks! I was barely making it through my simple melodies. One day I'll learn how to play properly. :)
