Sorry but I only have a webcam and cheap mic so the recording is as is with some booming on some chords, also the playing and music go a little out of sync half way through. Oh well. The tune needs some work yet but mainly with my playing technique. I have a very cheapo guitar and metal...

Wrote this after a relationship went wrong. Lots of sad and pissed off memories combined. Lost Love Divx. Please tell me if it won't stream.

Hi Think I better knock out some more active tunes soon or rigarmortis is going to set in! This tune is very relaxing I find. One I wrote - made up. Think I will play the lower range part of the tune a bit more forceful but overall I think the tune works ok. Might send you to sleep though -...

Fingerpicking tune. Can't remember why I made it up. Lower string dropped down a note. Still needs practise but don't they all! Can't embed it - divx. Here is the link: A Thoughtful Tune You might like it - my odd style of fingerpicking and song making upping :1:. Regards

Funny how something that occurs in your life makes you remember a particular tune. I am carrying around a dislocated rib at the moment and for some reason this tune came back into my head. Haven't played it for ages and it shows. Still I am going to practice it a lot now until it is as smooth...

I really love the old blues. I reckon fingerpicking blues is a pretty old style and this tune is very old to boot! I have slowed it a bit and played it the way I like to play it. Bad Blood Blues Video Hope you like it. Turn the volume up as it was recording too quietly. Regards Mark

A tune of mine I link to play to chill out. Different use of fingerpicks maybe? Maybe not. I just like to make this stuff up. Very soft tune. http://bluesplayer.co.uk/media/index.php?action=playgame&gameid=816 Relax! Regards Bluesplayer

Hi Here is a new blues piece I am working on. Trying to make it sound aggressive. Timing is out still but getting there. Click on Trisdemo: http://bluesplayer.co.uk/mymusic Regards Bluesplayer (going to alter name!)

Hi I am constructing a pretty hefty site - bluesplayer.co.uk. On there is a new section called 'Music Budding'. There is also a growing section called 'Music Pro'. All musicians/bands listed are automatically entered into the installed - and pretty unique - YouTube database search bar. A...

Here is a pretty nifty blues piece. Might be of interest to you - the structure of it etc. Some sliding chords. File size is just 3.5 Mb. Windows Media File. http://bluesplayer.co.uk/mymusic/coldcomfort/Cold%20Comfort.wmv Regards - Mark

Found myself playing the beginning of this tune to warm up now and then so decided to make it a complete tune. Peaceful tune really. Not got to grips with it properly yet as I am failing a little to hold certain finger combinations down - not sure you can call them chords really as I just make...

Here is a work in progress. Bit too long and needs hard practise but it has the makings of a pretty powerful tune I think. The inspiration for this tune stems from hard times. When something bothers you and everything you do is under a cloud, which you eventually shrug off. I think I will...

You know it is a bit creepy how you make tunes and songs up. I made this tune up and I have no idea what I was thinking about or what it is supposed to relate too? Very strange. I just sat down and this damn tune suddenly appeared. Odd tune like no other tune I play to be honest. Still I...

Hi Just recorded this new tune. Made it up around a blues riff I heard (can be heard at the beginning of the video). Pretty rough recording but I think this tune could sound really good after some practise. I am very hard on the guitar with this tune to the extent some strings - upper e -...

Wrote this when a lovely girl I was seeing came to visit. She had to return home alone though to another country as I wasn't well at the time. We have since broken up. Such is life! Got up this morning and remembered the tune. *I should remember to shave and stuff before making these videos...
