You're On The Cable, Man!

A song I did some three years ago.  For some reason this one sticks in my head and I keep playing it over and over again :)

Alone In The Crowd

One of the songs I recorded and posted on the Internet after I just started recording at home.  Played on a Lefthanded Black Epiphone Dot which I sold about a year and a half ago.  Still regret selling her. Most important ingredient is a lowdown case of the Blues.
I've been searching for another one of this kind of backing tracks, but yet to no avail.

Blues to be

A follow up on Alone in the crowd.  Still working on this one though, this recording was only an example of how far I was working on this song. Some errors and a major software glitch make it "raw stuff"

Back in the crowd (work in progress)

A song, played over a very simple single guitar backing.  No thinking, just letting my fingers do whatever they wanted to.  Created a video for this in memoriam of my brother in law, using pictures of his final holliday.

Time-Space Anomaly Number 1

Oog In Oog Met Hans

With a new addition to my six stringed friends a sound demo is obligatory. A good reason to quickly record two tracks mix them and dump it on the net. Meet my (used) Yamaha APX-5LA

The Blues Is Still Alive

I recorded this Man cover, written by Deke Leonard, at the end of sessions for my new album 'Til I Hear You Talkin'.
I had the pleasure of playing The Mickey Jones Annual Bash in 2011 at the request of George Jones, Mickey's son. I worked up this arrangement to play that night, as a tribute to Mickey.

I am not a musician but music plays a very important role in my creative life! I am an artist/designer and music is my companion and my muse in the long hours I spend working in my studio! 
I am immensely impressed and grateful for all the talented and inspiring musicians whose work graces this Cloud, and I will always re-post sounds that I love (and will listen to again) - knowing that others will enjoy them!
I feel slightly embarrassed and quite humbled when I receive such graceful messages of thanks from artists whose work I have re-posted - after-all, I am the one who is so inspired by the discovery of your brilliant music!!!
So thank YOU!!!
Jools :)
P.S. If you want to see where the music takes me there is a link to my Portfolio site on Behance below!!! 
NEW!! - Thanks for all the great feed-back on my work! I shall be re-launching with a website (shop & archive) ‘KULT-JE’ in the not too distant future! Meanwhile, examples of past and current work are featured on my Instagram (@joolselphick)
Since my heart op in Jan2021, I have had to deal with taking quite a lot of meds which have interrupted my design work - that and moving to Germany in 2020 - and back in 2021 (due to Covid my business plans stalled!) - SO, slowly getting it together…. hang tight!😊

I have an archive of my work to date on Instagram - @joolselphick

At the age of ~12 me and my parents were told in a local music store that since I'm left handed, I couldn't play the guitar (Yes they believed it). The result was I didn't get a guitar. In stead I got an accordion. I actually had lessons for2 or 3 years.
Afterwards I sold the accordion and bought me a right handed guitar. At first I tried to play right handed but that didn't work for me. I changed the string order to lefty and there it started.

When I was in my 30's I finally bought me my first real left handed guitar, A used ' 83 Tokai goldstar Strat. That was the time I started making real progression.

I still have and love the Tokai Goldstar.
