Sweet Love (Anita Baker Cover)

E Groove

A simple interpretation of the classic standard The Night Has A Thousand Eyes

The Night Has A Thousand Eyes

There's a video of me playing Circles now! Check it out! https://youtu.be/9_z5Tm5hU_E
Circles
A song title that hints both on the circular riffs and spinning melodies I play here, however mostly about me coming full circle to the first guitar music I heard during my youth and which made me want to pick up and play a guitar. This one goes out to my earliest influences, sometimes I didn't even know their names as a kid: Trevor Rabin (Yes), Steve Lukather, Eddie van Halen, and later Joe Satriani and Steve Vai. This is circles…

I hope you will enjoy this one and as always I really appreciate your likes, shares and comments.

Best,

Here's a swinging original blues with a short bridge that uses traditional jazz changes.

Thanks as always for your generous time listening, for your comments and for your shares

Connect The Dots

Pinner's added some sweet acoustic comping to his signature modern sound as we smooth things down a little.  But check out Stephan's guitar playing towards the end.....well worth waiting for some superb guitar playing on the outro.  Stephen and I have recorded almost 40 tunes together.  So proud of this music! https://soundcloud.com/jamie-rhind/sets/smokin-with-stephan-stephan

Olores y Colores

Painting a vivid picture in music.
In this track I explore the link between the flamenco style or palo of Tangos and the more Argeninian Tango. Although being linked in name they are very different. A Tango flamenco is more closely linked to the rumba flamenca. Its rhythm is the same as farruca and very lively. The Argentine tango shares a common ancestor, but went its own way. However, it was fun developing the transition between styles. I do that by a dramatic interruption in a Solea por Buleria. It repeats three times with the outro slightly different from the intro and interlude. 
I play three guitar parts here, one in flamenco finger picking style, the others more like the guitar trio with an alternate picking style.

I hope you will enjoy this one and as always greatly appreciate your likes, shares and comments.

This is a really special song to me. It features one of the greatest young talents on Soundcloud in the Jazz Vocal genre: Irina. It is an honor for me to have her feature on this Latin original, written for her with her beautiful additions in vocal melody and lyrics. I hope you’ll enjoy this as much as I do...

Latin Streets

I love to walk these streets
Look up to washing lines
Like sketches in the skies
In the skies
And all these fragrances and sounds
And all these stories of love profound
The love I found
All around

Whenever fortune brings me back to you
Colourful spring or winter hue
You brighten up my blues
I paint a picture of your purple skies
Embellished with those lantern lights
Enchanting starry nights.

Oh let me take you there
Barrios, streets and squares
Let me take you there
Just you and me
Just me and you
 
And there will come a time
The time our feelings will have aged like ruby wine
Sweet and fine
Those old and curvy and narrow streets
Will bring back vivid memories - 
Flamenco beat
Sultry heat.

The dancer’s gorgeous woven wavy dress
Breath-taking sounds of castanets
Gitanas sing their best.
Our hearts will stay forever linked to this
The magic moment of first kiss
Romantic sunny streets

Oh let me take you there
Barrios, streets and squares
Let me take you there
Just you and me
Just me and you
Take you there
Take you there
Just me and you

Hazy mornings with you
Everything’s gone downhill

We’ll cruise through the stars
Just making up together
This beautiful collision

I know you know I’d do anything
Cause you care and I do
You and I so beautifully collide
This beautiful collision
This beautiful collision

Just a last time then I’ll disappear
All of our tainted years

We’ll cruise through the stars
Just making up together
This beautiful collision

I know you know I’d do anything
You care and I do
You and I so beautifully collide
This beautiful collision
This beautiful collision
This beautiful collision
This beautiful collision

Beautiful Collision (Labarca/Welin/Gotchi/Conover)

Come Over When You're Sober, Pt. 2

Sex With My Ex

lyrics: Alicja Maciejowska    music: Beata Przybytek

He says he's got to take a break
He says he is so tired
He says he needs his nap so much
And I've got work on fire
Oh yeah, my baby, don't you worry
I've got my work on fire...

I am a super-power housewife  / And it’s real magic
I do my duties so fast  /He  can't even imagine
I  take care of everything / So that he can sleep
And have the sweetest dreams/ About me, only 'bout me

He says he can be helpful here
But I don't need attention
I'd rather have him sleeping well
to use my own potential
Oh yeah, I need a couple of hours
To loosen my inner tension...

I am a super-power (...)

And he will never know
It doesn't make a difference
Who makes me feel so strong
Who washes all my dishes...
