Name: A Guitar Extravaganza (with No Guitars) by John McLaughlin
Duration: 5 min 44 s
Description: I am still chasing the idea of playing the keyboard to sound like a guitar. I have used Soundpaint's Guitar Ambiences for the backing; Native Instruemnt's Electric Mint for the lead guitar, coupled with Native Instrument's Piano Colors that perversely gives a guitar feedback sound. I think this is the closest I have gotten, so far, for a passable guitar sound.

Sounds great, John. And I love that pic!  Ten or so years ago Tim Blake (early synth pioneer with Crystal Machine and one time member of Gong and Hawkwind) released his album Noggi'Tar - his own exploration of getting that 'too-loud electric guitar' vibe. I think the technology you have available now has moved on a fair bit from the more traditionall approach he was using.  https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=OLAK5uy_l7F8KGPZb_r71zGXuxb1UAzEmgFfTMLJY&playnext=1&index=1&pbjreload=101&app=desktop

It's amazing how you never really stopped playing guitar, and you can do things with "it" that you couldn't before. This is a great section at the end here, and I very much hear your guitar voice in it.

great job - all that's missing is all the mistakes that guitarists like to make, deliberately on purpose!

Little

Like a bird on a wire
I am searching for the light
Trying to find my way through
The darkness of the night
Like a bird on a wire
Like a beat to find I move on
My head says no my feet won't slow
I dance all night
And let my emotions flow
With my soul
Like a fire in my heart
Burning bright and very strong
I'II keep on going, no matter
What comes along
Every step I take brings me closer to my dreams
Like a beat in my soul
Gotta keep on movin'
Got no time to slow
No time for losin'
Dancin' through the night
Lettin' my emotions out
Gonna be alright
But sometimes I need to step back
And take a look around
Thinkin' 'bout the past
And how we used to get down
Now things have changed
But I won't let it bring me down
Or make me feel deranged
And when the days get tough
And I'm feelin' kinda low
I'll think back to those times
And let the good vibes flow
Like a beat in my soul
Gotta keep on movin'
Got no time to slow
No time for losin'
Dancin' through the night
Lettin' my emotions out
Gonna be alright
And when the days get tough
And I'm feelin' kinda low
I'll think back to those times
And let the good vibes flow
Oh like a beat to
Like a beat to find I move on
My head says no my feet won't slow
I dance all night
And let my emotions flow
Gonna be alright
Gotta keep on movin' yeah yeah
Gotta keep on movin' yeah yeah
No time for losin' yeah yeah
Gotta keep on movin'
And when the days get tough
And I'm feelin' kinda low
I'll think back to those times
And let the good vibes flow

Lets Swim

want you to suffer
I want you to cry
I want you to hurt 
and here is why 

I want you to know 
what its feels  inside 
when all that you loved
 has withered and died

 I want you to learn 
the hard way the though 
because there is no other 
way that you can know

 I want you to hurt 
 like him her  and I    
I want you to cry        
 when you say good bye

you shouldn't play with hearts
 like playing cards
 picking up and dropping 
 when the game gets hard

I want you to feel
a little like me
when you hear the 
name of some one you cant see

now life is hard 
we hurt and cry
 when we wish all 
we  loved …....good bye 

we love love love then  good bye
we hurt hurt  hurt then we cry

learn

Ex-guitarist, now a dodgy keyboard player.
With the exception of a handful of covers, everything is unplanned, first-take improvisation: switch on; record; post.
Make of it what you will.
