VACANT PLACES

ELT/DWS (2014)

Vacant places 
I can’t remember 
burn themselves into my memory

Empty eyes
and pie-plate faces
fill me by design

Vacant places
and fun filled spaces
the emptiness inside my brain 

Empty faces
they shuffle toward me
and inject me with their pride

And I......
I just can’t fill
I just cant feel
vacant places

Help me fill
these vacant places
and sign upon the dotted line

I cannot help you
I cannot fill you
your space is too far and wide 

These untold stories
that just keep screaming
locked away without a key 

you never know 
when that moment comes
to tear a hole into the fabric of your soul

And I......
I just can’t fill
I just cant feel
vacant places

Para mi Sombrino

Come a Little Bit Closer
(DWS-2017)

Come a little bit closer baby
come a little bit closer now 
come a little bit closer baby
I know I know I know 
you know how

Come and go
but stay awhile
let’s mix it up
and fly for awhile

If you gotta go
just come back when
and we’ll tear it up
for old times again  

Hang on tight
and have no fear
we’ll work it out 
before the second beer

Come and go
but stay awhile
let’s mix it up
and fly for awhile

A note from Brad- 

"All of my works on SoundCloud are rough tracks that I have recorded on my iPhone at home with the app MultiTrack DAW (by Harmonic Dog). I am writing these as time goes by, and with your help of liking and sharing hope to consolidate these songs onto a professionally recorded album sometime in the future. I'm fairly new to playing and writing Classical/Spanish Guitar music but I am enjoying producing these songs very much. I also very much love the fact that they can be shared in an instant to people around the world! Thank you for listening!"

Equipment:

Guitars: Alvarez AJ60SC Jumbo Cutaway, Breedlove Passport N250/COe Nylon Strings

Shakers: Nino Percussion NINOSET540 Plastic Egg Shakers, rattlesnake rattles, tambourine.

I love the blues and became determined to learn to play when I found my beautiful Eastman archtop guitar up for sale, second hand for a bargain price, in Jan 2012. As soon as I touched it I fell in love.

I first tried playing guitar several decades ago: with unrealistic teenaged enthusiasm I fully expected to sound like Hendrix within a month or two while practising just thirty minutes a week. I gave up when I still struggled to tune my guitar and the cowboy chords I'd learnt sounded really rough when I literally banged on them. Girls were much more interesting.

In my late thirties I had a mid-life crisis(!), so I  bought a US Strat and a Gibson LP Pro, determined to learn to be an ageing 'bedroom rock star'. I was working long and hard hours so only practised on odd weekends, always wondering why following tab and listening to CD lessons was not working. I decided I was tone deaf and incompetent, so yet again, I gave up, still unable to master bar chords, convinced I would never be able to play.

As an early retiree, I decided to give it a final attempt when I found my black beauty: the first few years were a journey of discovery, discipline and sore fingers. I practised most days (except when arthritis in my joints and a trapped nerve in my shoulder 'froze' my fretting pinkie and sent my thumb totally numb). Back then, I trawled YouTube and bought a DVD course of lessons, and plugged away. It was worth it as I really enjoyed the fairly limited range of things I could play.

When I first arrived on Soundcloud, I was not expecting to find such a talented and helpful community. I just wanted to upload a jam track for my friends to hear, then I found the amazing wealth of creativity here. 

Sadly, my frozen shoulder, trapped nerve and related problems have pretty much stopped my guitar ambitions since 2016.

However, I still have a blast exploring all the fabulous originals and covers so many relatively unknown, but hugely talented, musicians have conjured up for the SC community. In my first five weeks on here I downloaded c100 tracks and 'liked' hundreds more, and since then I have created many playlists that I regularly listen to depending on my mood...

Simon Cowell and his ilk (overpaid gatekeepers/brand creators/ubercapitalists) have, until now, throttled mass talent for the sake of creating a relative handful of extremely wealthy 'cash cow' celebs.

Who needs these supposedly 'professional talent spotters' and their artificially enhanced 'celebrities'? The internet rocks!

NB If you too suffer from joint pain, RSI or trapped nerves I highly recommend this free DIY pain relief site: it is not just for guitar related injuries but pain anywhere in the body pretty much, and the techniques used really do work - although for me, they provide just temporary relief. Good luck!
