This is an old track which I just migrated over from Myspace. I actually recorded this way back around 1998 !
It's a solo guitar arrangement of "Heard it through the Grapevine" with a smidge of MIDI thrown in. I played it on my Gibson 335


Grapevine

I studied Jazz for quite a while, but I also love Prog Rock and Metal ... 




Welcome! I play many guitars, but my favorite is a blond 1973 Telecaster.

I have had the privilege to collaborate with some fine musicians here on soundcloud; I sincerely thank them all. 


Trend kindness. :)













Thanks for listening!
Feel free to contact me

WELCOME ALL to my SoundCloud page!

It's always a pleasure to discover through SoundCloud the wealth of wonderfully talented and creative musicians out in the world... all sharing their own distinct and artistic creations.  I'm very happy to be a part of this amazing, creative, and supportive community.

My main instrument is the guitar (mainly electric... sometimes acoustic). I also play on occasion bass and keyboards (strictly for recording on my own compositions).  Most of my music tracks on SC are created, recorded, and produced in my home studio.  Recently, I've been making good use of midi sequencing to ultimately produce tracks that I otherwise would find almost impossible to do by other means. 

Fusion (my mix of jazz, rock, funk, soundtrack, etc.) is the best way to describe most of the music that I produce these days.  I've enjoyed playing and recording many styles/genres of music in the past, and all these past musical experiences influence me today in the way I compose and play.

You will find here on my SC page samplings of new and older works of mine.  The track picture icons more or less help identify what tracks belong to other associated tracks. And I will try to present some extra information for the individual tracks for those that are interested as well.

Thanks for reading... and I hope you enjoy listening!

Thank you for visiting my SC page!
I have been playing in rock bands for more than 50 years having had many exciting gigs.
Playing in the band in front of an audience is an incredible joy especially playing my own original songs.
About ten years ago, I was having problems with my hearing due to playing too many gigs, so I decided to give my ears a rest and focus on making demos at home.
DAW software has made remarkable advances, and now it's easy to overdub and finish a song if you can play  instruments. 
In addition to playing in a band, I discovered the joy of completing songs with overdub on my own.While I was taking a break from my band activities, original songs were piling up on my hard drive one after another.
I wondered if there was any way to get more people to listen to my songs? 
At that time, I happened to learn about a platform called SoundCloud. Musicians from all over the world participated and uploaded their songs there. I also set up my own page on SoundCloud and used it as a place to release my original songs.
Since I started this page, quite a few listeners have come and given me a lot of positive comments. Much more than I expected! I am very happy to contact many excellent musicians through SC. 
Just when I thought I had resumed my band activities, the coronavirus pandemic began. Many musicians lost their place to work and were at a loss.
The pandemic has finally ended, and now Japan's venues have regained their former vitality.
Now I enjoy having gigs and making one-man band songs simultaneously.

AU REVOIR
I joined SoundCloud in January 2010, the same time I took delivery of my hand-made Harrison Custom Merlin guitar. I have been paying a full subscription since then. Each year, when renewal time comes around, I weigh up whether I should continue paying for an ever diminishing set of tools. Nothing works now: stats (insights) don't add up; I am not informed of likes or comments to any track more than a few months old; the total stats only go back a few years - the first ten years or so don't count.
The platform, over the years, has changed from being musician oriented to listener oriented: in other words, a Spotify wannabe. The final push for me came this week, when, for the first time in sixteen years, my subscription charge was increased by 25%, so I have pulled the plug.
I have decided that I want to move to YouTube and post music with images and maybe animation, if I can figure out how to do it.
As a start, I have posted this - https://youtu.be/-lu0-L_zNHc .
