Find the Groove

It has been a pure pleasure to play and record with the super talented Justin Valente @justin-valente. Justin lives and breathes guitar and has such a deep and wonderful understanding of blues, blues history, and its evolution and influence in rock. And Justin uses that to turn out some of the consistently baddest guitar playing on SoundCloud. Capital B. Almost every day. So impressive.

When I found him here on SC I was instantly attracted to both his sound and conception. Somewhere that I would love to be if I played the electric guitar. A ton of electricity in his playing, raw energy, and a great understanding of navigating through the changes. If you haven't already, click to go to Justin's SC gallery and follow him. He is a serious student, and makes everything we do sound better.

Here's a collection of about 10 tunes we have recorded together....some classic tunes as well as originals. Very proud of these recordings.

Thanks Justin. So many of you have liked, commented and often shared our music - thanks for such passion, and for helping keep the blues inspired music here on SC alive and thriving. Several other of my favorite musicians here on SoundCloud are on these recordings as well - Tom Adams, Joe Bongiovanni, Ian Tait and Johnny Pugh.

To quote Bob Marley, "We're Jammin...."

Playing With Friends - 2019

What fun pulling this together with three serious musicians.  You probably know Joe Bongiovanni and Justin Valente's awesome blues oriented guitars, and they stretch out here on this funk / soul / fusion groove.  Burning it up they are.  And joining us on Alto Sax is recording artist Matt Criscuolo.  Look for him at mattcriscuolo.com.  These guys just play their ass off here.  Started with an internet fusion loop, I added many keyboard lines to funk it up to the max, and we added these pros.  Joe takes the opening solos for the first four minutes, Justin follows, and we finish with all the guys trading off.  So much energy.  Positive energy here.  Put this on and relax.  Hope you enjoy the entire tune - an extended play jam.  Damn this is burning.... Thanks for listening.  The guys would love your thoughts....

Funk And Burn - With Joe Bongiovanni and Justin Valente guitars and Matt Criscuolo alto sax

Bringing a soulful sound to SoundCloud with this one.  Lifetime recording artist, soul vocalist, saxophone and harmonica player Johnny Pugh sits in with blues guitarist extraordinaire Justin Valente and me on an emotional Ray Charles type slow jam.  What a wonderful surprise to hear Johnny's beautiful harp lines, which fit perfectly with Justin's raw electric blues energy.  Real proud of this one, as it captures the heart and spirit of why we all love SoundCloud.   Check out Johnny and Justin's music here - you will love their playing.  Thanks for listening.

A swinging shuffle with the outstanding Justin Valente on electric guitar.  Justin developed this 12 bar blues after listening to one of his favorite bands, Gov't Mule.  If you are into serious blues and electric guitar, you gotta check out more of New Jersey's own Justin Valente.  He's all over SoundCloud and loves to create and share new music almost every day.  Gotta love his complete understanding of how to play some serious blues - Gov't Mule style here!  Thanks as always for taking the time to listen and to comment.  Means a lot.

Mule's Blues - with Justin Valente / guitar

Created this Latin Jazz Rock tune with a very percussive latin groove over classic jazz changes.  Justin as always does a fantastic job with the guitar, helping anchor the mood while developing a fine solo to complement the salsa groove.  Put on your dancing shoes...

A few of you have mentioned in the past that i have a Mark Knopfler sound & i love Dire Strait's but never really thought much about it but found this cool backtrack and played thru it once...NO LIE!!! mistake's and all then listened to the original and it kinda freaked me out....hahaha Hope you enjoy?? :D 
Cheer's ;) 

You And Your Friend's (Cover)

The brilliant Dan van den Berg https://soundcloud.com/danarchx and I are thrilled to share a tribute to two of our favorite bands, The Mahavishnu Orchestra and Return to Forever.  These seminal bands and their musicians were so important to the merging of rock and jazz, many having come out of Miles Davis' fusion band, and featured virtuoso soloists and creativity that had not been seen before with electric music.  Dan here plays both electric and acoustic guitars, and has added so very much of himself to this modal tune.  The tune features a repeating simple lick, with dueling aggressive synth and guitar solos that these bands pioneered and took to a very high level, with John McLaughlin and Al DiMiola on guitars and Jan Hammer and Chick Corea on keyboards.     Please check out more of Dan's extraordinary music at https://soundcloud.com/danarchx .  

As always, we thank you for your time listening, your comments and your shares.  Enjoy Mahafusionu....

Dime a Dozen

If you are looking for a great groove, check out Uptown Groove by Boston's serious funkmaster Master Tony D https://soundcloud.com/mastertonyd . Tony has his funk down solid, and I've been loving his vibe ever since I found SoundCloud last year.  Tony asked me to join him on this great groove, and I of course jumped in with a few synth tracks, doing my Herbie thing.  
Check out the groove Tony lays down here - outstanding for sure.  And check out his large collection of funk originals  https://soundcloud.com/mastertonyd

Thanks for the invite Tony - LOVE what you are doing....

We thank you for your time listening, for your comments and for your great shares.

Thanks for all your generous time listening, for your comments and for your shares.

So Fly

Cissy Strut is a funky, New Orleans type groove recorded initially by the Meters, and then performed and recorded by so many musicians.   Scott suggested the tune and we've decided to style it after a favorite version recorded by John Scofield.  We've lined up some great great players to bring Cissy Strut to SoundCloud - Scott Nelson and Stephan "Pinner" Lipinski on guitars, Mirko "Stringburner" Borach on bass and Alpha Roots with his signature djembe sound.  Scott's got the first solo and plays sweet rhythm guitar over the track, Pinner takes the second guitar solo, and I follow on Hammond Organ.  What fun this was for all of us.  
Follow each of these serious players:

Scott Nelson, Mirko Borach and I are back with a real sweet original funk track...Coffee Grind.  Scott and Mirko have recorded so much with me  - more than 30 tunes each - and here's another great example of SoundCloud working across continents.  Scott's a deep creator, a fantastic bass player as well, and goes to town with the hot opening and solo work.  Mirko's on fire again, in his funky element and just grooves and grooves here.

Coffee Grind - with Scott Nelson / guitar and Mirko "Stringburner" Borach / bass

Haven't been playing or posting much lately, but reposting this because I played with the mix today for fun.

Named because it felt like eternity for me to finish this track because my DAW kept crashing :) This is a little blues jam that started as one thing and ended up as another. It is me on guitars and bass, Jamie on keyboards, and drum loops from Beta Monkey.

Thanks to Jamie as always for being so flexible and easy to work with. He adds a lot to this track and sounds great. We hope you enjoy :)

Eternity Blues (featuring Jamie Rhind)

Got in the mood for some slow blues and got lost in the moment!! Hope you enjoy!! Cheer's!!! <3

Lost in the Moment

This is a cover of Jerry Garcia's 'Sugaree' - which is a cool old bluesy tune.  Jamie (@jamie-rhind) is on keyboards, Mirko (@stringburner) is on bass and I am on guitar.  

Thanks to both Jamie & Mirko as always for the collaboration - I always have fun putting these together.

How about the beautiful guitar playing here by New York's Alec DeCaprio.  He just kills everything, playing with style, grace and taste.  At 19, and studying at Harvard.  So impressive a sound - Alec's added so much to this jazzy original.  Follow his playing on his YouTube channel:  https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC2XvW8Za1u9oK-zp5Ni8a0g

Sentimental Moment - with Alec DeCaprio / guitar

I put this track together today and realized it sounded like a mashup a few different grateful dead jams - feel like a stranger & shakedown street.  It was probably accidentally on purpose.  So be it :)

Grateful Funk Jam

I am obsessed with my Qtron at the moment and keep making up tracks that utilize it as an excuse to keep messing around.  Playing my new SG on this track over the solo section of 'Shakedown Street' that I put together.  Happy New Year :)

Shakedown Jam

This track is Jamie & I jamming to Fire on the Mountain by the Grateful Dead.  A simple but catchy tune with a cool bassline, which gave me a chance to use my octave pedal and qtron :) 

Jamie is playing organ and piano here and I am on guitars and bass.  
Thanks to Jamie for pitching in on this tune - always a pleasure!

April Fool - with Stephan Lipinski / guitar and Mirko Borach / bass

So much fun here with Stephan Lipinski and Paul Racle as we blow through some Alpine Grooving.  Our blues original set's Paul's fine bass line down, with Pinner knowing just what to do.  Paul is one of the most creative and inspiring voices here, producing so much fine music that bends genres and nails them too.  We all owe him a big thanks for vast collection of music he has recorded to inspire others to join and create.  Sweet bass grooving from him here!  
Stephan is a hired gun too, and we've done over 50 tunes together so far, yet have not met:). But we will and that will be an important party!  Can't wait to do the same in Zurich, Paul.  You know that:)))

18 Years Later

I've been playing guitar with varying degrees of devotion for about 30 years. I love to play and record every chance I get and have really enjoyed my time on SC so far.  My musical influences are guitar greats such as Hendrix, SRV, Jerry Garcia, Jimmy Page, Duane Allman, Robben Ford, Mike Bloomfield, Warren Haynes and Derek Trucks. I love listening to other people's music and drawing inspiration from their talents.  Most of all I appreciate all of the support from the community here and look forward to spending a lot more time. :)
