The Great Mike Polcari

Just some fun and funky groove practice through my Fender Reverb Deluxe reissue--over an AWESOME jam track produced by Quist. Look him up on YouTube, because this jam track smokes!

Funky Fender

To welcome Tom Adams back to SC, I recorded this slow, building blues burner...and I bought us a round of virtual bourbons. ;) Tom leans into that Tele bite for the opening solo pass, a second pass and then a howling ride home. I went neck pickup for a throatier tone you can hear at 1:00 mark and 2:25. To hear more of Tom's Tele mastery, do yourself a favor and check him out on his page... @user-342548892

The reason I haven’t been posting new stuff recently is my shoulder is torn up (hence the title) and playing is rather painful. Soon, I’ll have surgery, but I wanted to get at least 1 more song up on SC before I have to put the guitars away for a while. SC legend Tom Adams graciously accepted my invitation to join in the mayhem. Many, many thanks, Tom. It really means a lot. SONG NOTES...I wrote and recorded the jam track, and take the first solo (at 0:23) and third solo (at 2:36). Tom brings a wall of monster tone and aggressive chops on both the second solo (at 1:30) and big finish starting at 3:45. If you enjoy it, I truly appreciate the likes, comments and shares. And, even more importantly, I encourage you to do the same for Tom!

So, while I'm taking a break from playing, I thought I'd pull this silly one out of the vault. It's a cover I did of AC/DC's Long Way to the Top (If You Want to Rock & Roll) with my then 8th-grade daughter playing the layered oboe parts in place of the bagpipe solo. Apparently, this didn't traumatize her too much, because she went on to earn a music scholarship for college. Also, yes, I buried my vocals a bit in the mix. You're welcome.

Long Way To The Top (AC/DC Cover with OBOE SOLO!)

Hitting the open road with lots of horses under the hood and a friend ridin' shotgun...now that's a good time. And I'm thrilled to have SC legend Tom Adams sharing the wheel on this highway-ready jam track I recorded to welcome him back. Tom kicks it off with that ferocious tone and biting chops, and I take the wheel at 1:37 through the stripped down section. Tom floors it again at 2:45 and I take us home starting at 3:51. We appreciate your likes, comments and shares...and if you haven't checked out all of Tom's stuff hear it here... https://soundcloud.com/user-342548892

Ridin' Shotgun (Collab with Tom Adams--see notes)

Keit had this gut-bustin open collab on his page, and was HOPING for a vocalist to fill in the gaps...well, he got me instead. Keit kicks it off with his aggressive tone and then we go back and forth...with my part panned slightly right to separate us a little. By the way, no, the Strats in the picture are not ours...and did ya'll know Strat headstocks did that neat trick? Nifty.

Strat Attack(Collab w Keiton)

SC legend, Tom Adams, graciously agreed to join me on another jam track I recorded--after he had enjoyed a few bourbons. I'm playing bass, the two clean rhythm tracks split wide and I take the first and third passes for lead...Tom's distinctive tone cuts through on the second and fourth solo passes. (If you haven't listened to Tom in phones, check it out...he uses a panning effect that's particularly cool in headphones) Finally, truth be told...I ripped the name and image for this track from a festival in Milwaukee. And it sounds like a ton of fun! Free advertising plug for them.

Bacon, Bourbon & Blues(Collab with Tom Adams)

Paul posted this beautiful open collab, and I hope my lead guitar does it justice. A bit out of my comfort zone, but it just seemed to fit the mood of my Sunday...and I thought I'd give it a rip. Hope you enjoy.

I'd tell you to go check out Paploviante's page(s)...but, uh, EVERYONE on SoundCloud knows Paul...Right? Well, just in case you don't, check out his masterful handiwork here...https://soundcloud.com/paul-racle

CoolTimes with Paploviante

Just saw Tom put up this Sunday Jam open collab, and how could I resist a chance to trade some licks with the slow blues master. I laid down one quick take before I go watch another Super Bowl without my beloved 'Skins...and with the Patriots. Yet again. You'll probably be able to tell BUT... Tom leads us off and I take the 2nd, 4th and 6th passes with a couple of fills in the last bits before the end.

Super Bowl Sunday Blues (Open Collab with Tom Adams)

I love me some Zep, and I love this riff from How Many More Times. So, I recorded a jam track using it as the basis for the groove...and invited my good friend (well, EVERYONE's good friend) Tom Adams to jam with me. I play the the main riff and take the first and third passes, Tom goes second and takes us home. Check out more of Tom's stuff here https://soundcloud.com/user-342548892     AND, if you haven't seen Zep perform this song to a stunned group of Danish teens check it out here...  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zE-JQzj2aEA
Are you still reading? Well, I feel bad for cropping John Paul Jones out of this photo. He's a great musician, but he wouldn't fit. Sorry, JPJ.

HowManyMoreTimesJam(with Tom Adams)

I was practicing some groove training in E and stumbled across this Open Collab from the hardest working man on SC...Paploviante. Paul put it out there for us a couple of years ago...under the title "Back on the Road." While Paul's bass and the entire track is awesomely TIGHT my lead playing is raw, messy and hopefully to your ears...good fun. If you haven't played with Paploviante's open collabs (i find that hard to believe) you'll find theme here...https://soundcloud.com/paul-racle

Good Messy Fun (Paploviante Open Collab)

I haven't recorded anything in 5 months...and what better way to come back to SC than with a Tom Adams collab?! Tom beautifully crafted this  jam track that's loaded with swagger and swaaang...you'll recognize that delightful tone of his on the brief intro, followed by my first solo pass, he takes the second, I take the third, he's got the fourth, and I take us home--right off the fretboard;) Wanna hear more Tom? (And who in the heck wouldn't???) go here... https://soundcloud.com/user-342548892

ProudPeacock (Tom Adams Open Collab)

Keit posted this raw, raunchy and rockin' blues collab a while ago and I finally had a chance to crank up the Marshall and join in. He leads us off, I jump in (panned slightly right to separate us) and we trade off as we go--with him taking us home. If you wanna hear more of Keiton, he has some killer tracks here... https://soundcloud.com/keitblues

MyThoughtsWillNotStop (Keiton Collab)

I always like when Tom dials in his "mean" tone, so I created this attitude-packed jam track for us to rip over. I kick it off, Tom joins in around the 1 minute mark, I briefly take over the reins at about the 2 minute mark, and Tom snatches them back at around the 2:30 mark. If you haven't already hear all of Tom's stuff (find that hard to believe, but hey...)it's all right here... https://soundcloud.com/user-342548892
