Scotland's finest SC guitar player and gourmet chef Ian Tait https://soundcloud.com/ian-tait and I have whipped up some fall chill for you.  Wouldn't be Ian without a little funk too, so we've kept a funky groove for the chill.  Summer is leaving us, our leaves are turning, so why not throw out some Fall Chill.  If you haven't yet checked out Ian's outstanding gallery, you will find him here at https://soundcloud.com/ian-tait

Thanks as always for your time listening, commenting and sharing among the SoundCloud and social media communities.  

Fall Chill  -  with Ian Tait / guitar

Gotta love the open invitation from Scotland's finest SC guitarist, fuzzmaster and executive chef Ian Tait https://soundcloud.com/ian-tait to join him on this heavy funk rocker.  Ian's signature funky sound and outstanding Wah playing were just what the doctor ordered for me, so I jumped in with some heavy synth guitar patch to try and match Ian's electricity on my keyboard.  On this track I take the first and third solos.  Damn this was fun Ian!!!  You are back with a vengeance.

Thanks as always for your time listening, to your welcome comments and for your shares.

Stringing On The Moon :)

Hey :) Always really loved my "stab" at a "Bond Theme"...and with the new movie coming out I thought I'd completely re-record it in it's entirety :)

Love to hear from you guys...Did I ruin it???...OR...Did I improve it??? :)

Thankyou for all the continued support and friendship from you all...means a lot... :)

Thankyou For Listening

Shaken Not Stirred...Complete Rework :)

Hey :) Got my beloved (and repaired) Strat back and thought I'd give it a little work out so built a simple quick backing track and laid down a few solos :) Quality not great but the guitar was AWESOME!!! :)

Thankyou for listening :)

Strat Back Blues

Here's Stratosphere, a celebration of the marvelous Scottish guitarist Ian Tait's https://soundcloud.com/ian-tait getting his prized Stratocaster back from the repair shop.  When Ian released this heavy blues rocker earlier today I jumped on it, thinking we could bring up the intensity a little more with some heavier bass and synth work.  We've done a lot of great stuff together here on SC, so his immediate instincts were to let me have a run at it.   Thanks Ian.  The tune reminds me so much of one of the all-time classics - Mountain's Mississippi Queen

So here it is Ian.  He hasn't heard it yet but sure he'll approve.  And check out Ian's fantastically funky gallery - so much great stuff from the fine Chef himself, and many outstanding collabs too.  

We thank you so much for your generous time listening, for your comments and for your shares

Voodoo Funk

Always loved the funky groove tracks from the 80's...usually played by ridiculously talented, geeky looking bands...you know the ones I mean...as the cameras zoomed in on them...their embarrassed smiles, lots of nodding to each other, the odd hand in the air to signal a change...anyways back to the music :)

Had fun doing this though I'm not too sure about the mix...it's not sitting how I'd like it to but it still sounds fun...Enjoy my friends :)

Thankyou For Listening :)

When Scotland's finest SoundCloud guitarist Ian Tait asked me if I'd Fancy It?, I had to turn him down. But then I realized he was asking me only to join him on this original blues rocker of his.  Here's some serious boogie'n blues rock...

Check out Ian's outstanding SC gallery at @ian-tait - he's got something in there for everyone - a lot of really great playing - and all with a sense of humor.

We've already recorded 14 tunes together over the past year and a half - some of my very favorites: soundcloud.com/jamie-rhind/sets/cooking-with-ian-tait-1

And for those interested, I have just released Barcelona and I Believe, 2 CDs of my own music and a few jazz standards. SoundCloud's Dan van den Berg and Al Schulman wrote the liner notes for them. Here's a link if you are interested in checking them out - itunes.apple.com/us/album/barcelona/id1071251143

Zombie Killer

This is one of my all time favs. Track I wrote with my buddy Ian Tait a few years ago, Dark & Heavy - Rock on.

JoyzNoiz & Ian Tait - That other guitar track we did

Hey...Thanks for stopping by, I'm sure I've got something in my "Track List" that you will enjoy...From Reggae to Heavy Rock via Blues and I've even got a Retro TV Theme in there :)

Besides being taught the basic chords at the age of eight I am completely self taught. Sadly this also means that I don't read music, relying on my "ear" to pick out lines/playing styles/tracks etc :) But hey...I get by ok...don't I??? :)

Born, Bred, Raised and Living in Edinburgh Scotland. I'm a family man and fully trained Head Chef who never lived up to his musical potential...I'm sure that must stand for a few of us...yeah?

Met and listened to some fantastic musicians and beautiful people. Keep The Faith Fellow Muso's...There's room for us all!!! :)Enjoy the tunes, Thankyou for listening.
