Check out this new original Right There with Craig Schmoller doing his beautiful thing on both guitar and bass.  Cooking from the opening, Craig takes off with an incredible series of solos.  What a player.  And when he heard the track I sent him, laid down such a fine bass line to complement the track.   This is Craig's mix.  We're digging the sound!

Follow Craig's sweet music:  https://soundcloud.com/craigschmoller and his superb YouTube page: https://www.youtube.com/user/grov6land

Thanks too for your generous time listening, for your comments and for your shares

EXISTENCE PASSAGERE (Texte: BLEEP - Musique et Chant: Alain GUERIN)

It sure seems there's always malice in the palace. Either you’re in the palace causing malice or you’re trying to stop the malice. In both cases there's still malice in the palace. As subjects, we have to live with that malice, so get out and vote. And if voting doesn’t make a difference, get out there and storm the palace, but only for a cause I believe in, lol. 

I love roots reggae and am stuck in the period between '68 and '82. Don’t get me wrong, ska is great, and I lump rocksteady into my preferred period of reggae. And I am not saying I don’t appreciate later periods of reggae and dancehall. I did enjoy the 90s dancehall that often went along with golden era hip hop. But I will always like 70s roots reggae best. I must be old. 

Thanks SoundCloud friends for making roots reggae with me and helping me LARP my musical fantasies. You're all the best! May everyone live out their rock star dreams.

Trodding in this world of inequity 
People dying in the city
Kings in palaces show no pity
There’s malice in the palace 
There’s malice in the palace
Queen Majesty let’s lick up the chalice
I wanna hear I wanna hear what you can tell us 
And don’t you try to quell us
Or we’ll be storming up the citadel, yes! 
You’ve got to be pure of heart and pure mind
Cause blessed are the pure in heart
So you’ve got to live clean
If you know what I mean
There’s malice in the palace
We’re storming the citadel, yes!
And in the end, the last shall be first, and the first last 
For many shall be called, but few shall be chosen
Trodding in this world of inequity 
People are dying in the city
And kings in palaces dem show no pity
There’s malice in the palace 
There’s malice in the palace
Queen Majesty let’s lick up the chalice
I wanna hear I wanna hear what you can tell us 
So whoever knows the right thing to do and fails to do it
For him it is sin
And that is the way of the righteous
For the path may be rocky
But the conscious can remain clean
If you know what I mean
There’s malice in the palace 
And we’re storming the citadel, yes!
For many are called, but few are chosen
There’s malice in the palace 
There’s malice in the palace, 
Queen Majesty let’s lick up the chalice
I wanna hear I wanna hear what you have to say
And don’t you lie to us
Or we’ll be climbing the citadel, yes!
Or we’ll be climbing the citadel 
There’s too much inequity 
So don’t you try quell
Do good things for in due season we will reap
So do not grow weary in doing good, y’all
And the fruit of the spirit is love, goodness, and peace 
And against such things there is no law
Living in the righteous way is no flaw
There’s Malice in da palace
And We’re storming the citadel
We’re storming the citadel, yes!
For many are called, but few are chosen
There’s Malice in da palace
There’s Malice in da palace
There’s Malice in da palace
There’s Malice in da palace
Trodding in this world of inequity 
people dying in the city
Kings in palaces dem show no pity
And we’re all going to be storming the citadel, yes!
So Queen Majesty
I wanna have a word with you and lick up da chalice
I wanna hear, I wanna hear, I wanna hear what you have to say
There’s Malice in da palace
There’s Malice in da palace
And don’t you try to quell us
There’s Malice in da palace
Keep your heart with all vigilance, for from it flow the springs of life

This recording is an overdubbing of my guitar on the work "SET ME FREE" of "Paploviante".
https://soundcloud.com/paul-racle/set-me-free-paploviante

One day, I suddenly start to think that this wonderful song is blues.  I checked the chord progression on the guitar.  I started to be confident that the blues three chords would be a perfect fit for this song.  After finding the three chords that fit this song, I checked the melody line.  I thought it would be good to grasp the vocal melody line in order to confirm the scale that fits this work.  I decided to record the process.  I want you to forgive me for this recording being pretty rough.  Because this recording is just a quick note for confirmation. 
I'm sure it will help you practice your guitar.  Those practicing guitar need to know that blue note chord progressions and scales are quite different from Western music.
Please take this opportunity to check the relationship between the blues chord progression and the blue note scale.

Postscript.  (2020.12.24)
*To me, this song sounds like singing the following lyrics.  I applaud it.I'm hoping that if a lot of people like this appear, maybe this world will last a little longer, and maybe a little better.  

——————————————
1. He dressed me in exaggerated numbers and turned me into a shining girl.
 Even for a moment, it made me appear shining.
 But it was all a phantom.  No matter how big the numbers, I could never chart in.
The big numbers they put on me weren't the result of their promotional ability.  They were just forgery of numbers, they were just forgery.  They just wanted to make themselves look bigger to everyone.
 So, Set me free.

2. Their fake act was detected by everyone.  As a result, I also fell miserably.  
Those who were in a good mood had glory for a while, but now they have fallen to the ground, changing their names and hiding.  But I'm not like them.  
I'm already out of the forged world they created.  I don't need a fake number.  I'll start over.  At last that time came to me.
 What makes me different from them is that I love music.  So, Set me free. 

——————————————
**I always hope that the quality of music in SoundCloud will improve and that fair and creative relationships between users will be built and maintained.  And I pray for the further prosperity of SoundCloud.

***I would like to express my heartfelt gratitude to those who have long wished to solve this problem, and to the many people with great courage and intelligence.  And I give my respect to those people.  I've heard that the "they" who pointed out the problem repeated acts that were suspected of continuing to damage the SoundCloud system for a long time.  And it has long hindered the formation of a normal community by its users.  That alone is already a big criminal act, but it has left an endless number of problematic behaviors.  I don't think the agencies involved will easily forgive them.  If you're still unaware of the significance of that, but have enough musical knowledge and skills, you should at least suspect that you're in Stockholm Syndrome.   Others should think twice about the possibility that you assimilated with them and made some mistakes.  If you ever think you've violated a rule or committed a criminal offense, I suggest you hurry and start compensating for it the way you think it's appropriate.

I tried to warn you / Paploviante November 2020
Paploviante: Music, Picture, Mix and Mastering
Vocals and lyrics: Loraina from www.Ghosthack.de
Lyrics:
Please don't tell me
That you had it bad too
I dont give a rats
That you played me like a fool
I tried to warn you
I don't like these little games
Now just sit back
Watch as I set the world ablaze
One at time
I'll do my time
I will consent 
Because I did the crime
Ooh, i’m guilty
Of lovin you
I’m guilty
Of lovin you
I'm Just an alley cat
I slink by when I can
Even this pussy cat
Will crawl a high rise without plan
You were a predator at night
Tall dark and dangerous
lust at first sight
I tried to hold you
But you were gone by day’s light

A message of appeasement to all our American "Red or Blue" friends.
We in Europe have been following this election closely, and in many ways it struck us as surreal.
But now, we hope for reconciliation, for appeasement, because the world's greatest democracy must show us a nobler and more respectful image.
The free world still needs a strong America to contain the nations that are moving away from an indispensable area of democracy and freedom. The environmental state of the planet cannot afford to wait.
The essential stake which must unite us all lies in the safeguard of our beautiful blue planet.
Long live America !

Un message d'apaisement à tous nos amis américains "Red or Blue".
Nous européens avons suivi de près cette élection, et à bien des égards elle nous a semblé surréaliste.
Mais désormais, nous formons l'espoir d'une réconciliation, d'un apaisement, car la plus grande démocratie mondiale doit nous montrer une image plus noble et plus respectueuse.
Le monde libre a toujours besoin d'une amérique forte à contenir les nations qui s'éloignent d'un indispensable espace de démocratie et de liberté. L'état environnemental de la planète ne peut se permettre d'attendre.
L'enjeu essentiel qui doit nous tous nous unir réside dans la sauvegarde de notre belle planète bleue.!

Vive l'Amérique.

--- Appeasement ---

You feel the blue wave,
that invades your mind,
the start of a new age,
red or blue, the same line,

Forget the bitterness, hatred,
Come share the joy and the bread,

forget this nightmare,
we are not at war,
put away your gun,
and enjoy the sun,


In our space of freedom,
she is the family home,
In our space of freedom,
she is the family home,
In our space of freedom,
she is the family home...

Oh Christmas Tree

Since I started one-man band music on SC, I realized how exciting it is to play the bass. So I wanted to compose and play a song in which the bass plays the lead.
Although it took some effort, I really enjoyed playing. 
I used Jazz base made by Fender Japan.

OCHTENDGLOREN | Short Tales Part V

“Ochtendgloren” is a great Dutch word meaning “Dawn”. But in a more poetic sense, it has a sense of optimism, it holds a promise of a beautiful day to come. The morning dawns on the horizon...
The track travels through several different fields and textures, traveling acoustically through many different styles, I feel it’s hard to categorize where this would land in an overall description, but I guess World fusion comes closest. But it contains elements of classical, Jazz, flamenco, Latin, pop, rock, blues.

I play my Flamenco Negro guitar again in a setting of a guitar trio. In form it can be considered as a continuation of my Short Tales series. The lead guitar has long sections that are improvised over the bed of the two accompanying guitars.

I hope you will enjoy this fifth Short Tale and as always I really enjoy your likes, comments and shares. -Dan

Winter Came Suddenly

LYRICS BELOW
Here's a song inspired by the coronavirus pandemic (but it's upbeat and hopeful). Big thanks to Ben Lokuta, who recorded the drums remotely. Ben is an amazing young drummer currently studying at Berklee College of Music and the drummer for Distant Cuzins. I played gigs with Ben all last year, including at Summerfest in Milwaukee. Ben plays a huge drum set with two kicks, so mixing was a bit of a challenge! I told Ben to let loose in the last verse, and he really came through.
All four guitars I play in this song are Gretsches--hollowbody or semi-hollow--all with different pickups:
Gretsch 5422T with Filtertrons
Gretsch 5622T with Super HiLo trons
Gretsch 2622TG with P90s
Gretsch 2420 with Broadtrons
...so this is definitely a Gretsch song!

............Words & Music by Timothy Walsh
You say you can’t go the distance, put up too much resistance,
even though I’m telling you that I’ll be there for you.

No, I don’t even want to hear it.   No time to check out though we fear it.
The sea’s about to swallow up this human world we know.

Chorus

You’re watching all your screens.  Never get outside.
Stand among the trees.
You’re always stuck inside like a person who’s confined
never walking in the breeze.

You say the clock is ticking—watch as the whole world is sickening.
I just say that you have got to think beyond us two.

So roll up your sleeves and pitch in—no use just always bitching.
You have got to use your life and stand up for what’s true.
