WOOO!!!

don't hand me no mojo
keep me hangin in a funky line
just after drinkin martini's
make another Frankenstein 

ride on
ride on
to the dime store
good advice
this time I got no doubt
I'm gonna get me mine

All in good time
that's what everybody says
when you're walkin' that line
it messes with your head

sat on the back baby
warm enough to start a light
slip slidin' on a free ride
whats mine is mine and yours is mine

I put on
put on
put on
ready for another ride
too blind to see the light
stand back and get in line

All in good time
that's what everybody says
when you're walkin' that line
it messes with your head

if you want time to get it turn around 
and get you the other side
All in good time

Lord I know
yes I know
but I cant tell about you
I wanna go
I wanna go
baby baby baby I love you

(guitar solo)

ride on
ride on
ride on
ready for another ride

this time I feel I've got no doubt
I'm gonna get mine

All in good time
ooo
when your walkin that line
it messes with your head

if you wanna turn around
its gonna get you to the other side

All in good time

WHOO!!!

Stone Ginger - All In Good Time (ALL IN/1992)

Wank guitar track just to see if i could get through the form. pretty much through composed. now i just need some bread to pay great musicians and engineers to do this for real !

The Durian

just a sketch - tone, timing, & technique gremlins abound !

Sketch6

Even Odds

Here's how the variations have been derived. Will post http://www.rhythmweb.com/shed/bembe.htm

So far up to the fourth wheel, shooting for all seven. Will post video if enough interest is shown

Funk Shuffle Variations Using Afro Cuban Bembe Wheel

BOM! - The title means "Good!" in Portuguese. But this is more of an African high-life kind of groove, partially inspired by a CD I had called "Soukous Vibration". Soukous is a popular African style well known for its intricate interlocking guitar parts. I threw in a little of that on the intro. But then Randy and I play the "A" melody in harmony and then the "B" melody (which I just started whistling one day while driving my car!) in unison. Everyone in the band gets featured on this one.

MANHATTAN SESSIONS

Bom mp3

Mac's Album

Happy Birthday(cpd)

If enough interest is shown - Will Make a video lesson with transcriptions, backing tracks , etc ..  .  Maybe stuff with 7's and two measure phrases with 9's, 11's, 13's - lemme know
OTHERWISE - onto some other shit that doesn't make any fuckin money - what's new ?

INTRO TO Odd Metric Rhythm Groupings over 4/4 Groove

For now this just a recording project with only  electric guitar performed & recorded over computer programmed backing tracks. Actual real human musicians will be playing on the tunes in a real studio if i ever get any kind of funding by my own efforts or from donations ! 
I plan on featuring the many gifted drummers , bassists, keys, & horn peeps who live in Tampa Bay, so there will be a different lineup on each tune.
The plan is to record & release one tune at a time pending self financing for musicians and studio time.
