Improvisation - The intention before recording was to create a heavy (metal) piece *rofl*. Found that drum patterns on Addictive Drums. Liked it and used it :-). Next was to do the bass. I recorded it purely improvised (as all instruments on this track) with my ESP 5-string.
I used a Takamine TAN-16 for the accoustic rhythm track.
For lead I used my Gibson B.B.King Lucille wich I sadly sold shortly after. The little slide addon's where done with my Fender Tele '52 Road Worn. Hope you enjoy. Comments are always appreciated :-)))

Lazy Afternoon

The main acoustic guitar track was part of a guitar lesson i took.
After this track has been recorded, i added some electric guitar, bass, drums and strings.
These additions are completely improvised.
Drums and strings were made by virtual instruments (VST) played via masterkeyboard. 

Wonderwall (Instrumental impro. based on Wonderwall - Oasis)

This Song is the product of a collaboration between Alphio  https://soundcloud.com/alpha-roots who had the main idea for music and lyrics, Dave @https://soundcloud.com/iridescent-shoebox who helped with and added some lyrics in the refrain and me, who had the honor to participate :-). It was a big fun to work together with you guys. Thank you very much!!!

Instruments:
Alphio - vocals, rhythm guitar, drums, bass, "key strings" *lol*

Dave - also lyrics
Me - Lead and solo guitar

Hope you enjoy :-)

Thank you very much Paul for this amazing piece of musik and the invitation to this collab. Hope my addons are not too dilettantish *lol*.

Time Is Ticking - Collab Paploviante - Little change in the Mix!!

Found that beautiful backing track to jam on.  Jamming alone on it seemed too boring to me :DDDDD. So I asked B-Train if he want's to add some guitar. He did it in his own unique way wich i like so much. Thank you very much Rog!!!!! So, here is our collab. Hope you enjoy :-)

Steamwhistle Blues / Collab w Roger/B-Train

This track is based on "Bassdance (Demo)". I've lost the Cubase-files of this project, so I had to play everything again (exept the drums, comming from "Studio Drummer" by Native Instruments)). The result is a more complete version wich i really like.
Hope, someone will do that too ;-))))).
By the way, if someone has an idea for lyrics and vocals, pls feel invited to add something :DDD. Download, sing, post....:-)

Sonia, the gifted singer on this cover has left this world on August the 14th 2016. She was afraid of singing not good enough to Alphio's and my track. But I have to say, I myself was afraid of playing not good enough to support her fascinating voice well. She was a unique warmhearted person and she will greatly be missed.

Loved this tune since it came out in 1983!. Was a great honor being asked by Alphio to play the guitar on this collab. Was a great pleasure working with Sonia, who gives this a very nice flavour with her voice and Alphio, who did a fantastic job with the instrumentation. Thank you very much, Sonia and Alphio!!! Great job on the instruments, Alphio!!! I think the track became a very special version of this fantastic Eurythmics song. Have fun!!!! ;-)))))

Sweet Dreams - For Sonia (Cover) - Collab w Sonia Chamberlain and Alpha Roots

I love classical music and I love Rock and heavy guitar sounds, so I had to mix both worlds together in one track.
The classic guitar part is based on Robert de Visée's Bourrée in d-minor.
Alphio had kindly supported me on the bass. He nailed it. Thank's a lot, Alphio!!! ;-)))))

Enjoy!!!

This is the 6th track out of Ms Kings open collabs I wanted to play on :DDDD. My Tele needed some work out :-)))
In my opinion the G'n'R version of Heavens Door is one of their biggest shots. Only Ms Kings version is better ;-))).
Again I have to thank Ms King for her invitation.
Hope somebody will have fun!!!

Some weeks ago I tried to play to this great tune the first time. Didn't know how to do it then. After listening to the versions of Peter Green and Gary Moore (Hey Rog! ;-)) I got a feel how to play it *lol*.
As usual Ms King did a fantastic job on this cover. Thank you very much for the invitation! Always a pleasure to play along your tracks :-)))
Enjoy!

Sunday Night Whisky Blues (Don't drink and play!!! ;-)) >A bit reworked<

My next more heavy track. At first there was the bass. It is inspired by the bass sound of Peter Steele from Type 0 Negative (May he rest in peace).  Second I wanted to add a classical element again. This time I put an oboe into this track :-))). 
All instruments were played by me, except the drums which came from addictive drums 2, as usual ;-).
Enjoy!!!
For some interested guys ;-))
guitars I've used:
rhythm & semi lead played with Schecter Custom 7-string
lead played with '62 Strat customshop with a set of 60's Kloppmann pickups ;-)))

Intro
Lara
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, I'm not where I wanna be
V1
I guess we are where we wanted to be
But sometimes just where we wanted to be is not just the place where we wanna be
I wanna be with you
Sometimes you're not where you want to be, where you want to be yeah
Sometimes we're just in our destiny, in our destiny, yeah
V2
Walking a dangerous line, in a world without love
Sometimes you don't want to be, alone in a crowd anymore
Walking a dangerous line, and you're paying the price
But you don't want to be alone in love anymore....anymore, anymore
Bridge
Sometimes love is worth the pain
Lead 1
Sometimes love is worth the pain
And I'm feeling it time and time again
Bridge
V3
I couldn't be bothered, staying in this place
I couldn't be bothered
I wanna head in your direction, I wanna give you my affection baby
I wanna head your way, I don't wanna be here any more
I only wanna stay with you

Why did I have to meet you?
Why did I have to fall in love with you?
Yeah, yeah.....................
Outro
My world is caving in
What is life without you?
What is life without you?
What is life without you?
What is life without you?
What is life without you?
Nothing at all, nothing at all, nothing at all.....
What is life without you?
What is life without you?
What is life without you?
Nothing at all......................................................
What is life without you?
What is life without you?
Nothing at all

Lara         (ft. Lawrence Farr)

Was in the mood for a new recording this afternoon.
Had no clue what kind of style. It becomes an improvisation with three acoustic guitars in the end. I played everything with my Maton "Michael Fix"-Model.
Have fun :-)))

Lyrics:

“Suicide City”

Can’t sleep tonight because the riots in the streets of Hamburg
Just another city, blow it up and head onto the night
Oh it’s such a pity and ain’t nothing going right here
You’d think our need to survive would finally start to kick back in

Suicide City (Suicide)
Suicide City (Suicide)
It’s a Suicide
It’s a Suicide
Ain’t Nothing Pretty in Suicide City
Ain’t Nothing Pretty in Suicide City
It’s a Suicide (x4)

Has the whole world gone mad?
Don’t we realize the goodness we had?
We have means but still wanna bleed
Just a matter of time ‘til we see the bloody heads roll

It’s suicide!

I use to fear the monsters and beasts
I’d pray to the Lord my soul to keep
From the dangers on the outside
Now I what find the thing is to fear the rage inside

Suicide City (Suicide)
Suicide City (Suicide)
Suicide City (Suicide)
It’s a suicide
Ain’t Nothing Pretty in Suicide City
Ain’t Nothing Pretty in Suicide City

Suicide
Suicide City (ain’t nothing pretty in suicide)

Can’t sleep because of the riots in Hamburg
When we blow it up we’re killin' ourselves
I think we’re gonna have remember
How to love again to survive suicide

My first collaboration with the very talented Yana Smutina. 

After listening to her music and reading the permanent collab-invitation on her page, I asked her if she would be interested to do a collab with me. She was :-) … a few weeks later *LOL*.

I thought, “Somebody Help Me” https://soundcloud.com/yana-smutina/somebody-help-me-music-and-words-yana-smutina would be great stuff to create a Rock ballad from.
Yana agreed and sent me the track stems after recording the whole thing again in a local studio. So I got voice and acoustic guitar separated for mixing and was able to add my spices to it. 

It was a pleasure to work with her. She always gave me great constructive feedback - what was great, what wasn’t and what has to be changed or replaced. The cello for in- and outro was her idea. I had a piano in my first song sketch, but now I think, the cello fits way better instead  😊 . To cut the song in two pieces and put a heavy solo passage into the gap was Yana’s idea too. She asked me to paint a musically picture of hell - “…a musical picture of hell with "Thunder and lightning”...”. I tried to do my best then – if I may mention that devil’s fart at the end of the solo? *ROFL*.

Please check out Yana’s stuff here: https://soundcloud.com/yana-smutina 
  
Thank you for working with me Yana. Big hug!!!! 
 
Volume to eleven and enjoy  our creation!!! 😊

Lyrics:

“Somebody Help Me”

I'm just walking in the circle of life
Nobody can see and nobody hear me here
I want to stop it all
I want to change it all

Somebody save me I need help
Somebody save me from this hell

I'm so poor and ugly but I've got a heart
But there's still no compation anywhere
I would like not to care
Pretend and just don't care

Somebody save me I need help
Somebody save me from this hell

I've found my gate in the green glass
I've found my way in the green...

EARTHQUAKE IN ME (The Lyrics)
Intro

1 Verse
I had a time without her.
Quiet like the deep sea.
Then she entered my life.
Everything was different from now on.

Pre-Chorus
She cause an earthquake in me.

2 Verse
Her gaze was pure sin.
Her walk weighs so smoothly.
In my dreams - I lose myself in her.
I will do anything for her.

Pre-Chorus
She cause an earthquake in me.

Bridge
I´m losing -
Yes - I`m losing my mind - over her!

Pre-Chorus
She cause an earthquake in me.

Bridge
I´m losing -
Yes I`m losing my mind - over her!

A woman like an earthquake.
A woman hotter than lava.
A dance on the volcano - more dangerous than ever.

Outro
A dance on the volcano -
She causes earthquakes in me!

"Earthquake In Me" - Steven Craggy feat. Andreas Kloppenburg

Did a little acoustic guitar track this evening. The Neil Young style rhythm guitar track was part of a guitar lesson I took years ago. 
I added a solo acoustic and percussion (played with master keyboard).
Had some timing probs but was fun to do it ;-)).
Hope someone will like it!!!

Here comes a new collab with the exeptional talented Glen Granthem https://soundcloud.com/the-glen-granthem-band. He handed out a very nice track to us SC lead guitarists for adding our spices to it. I added my guitar to it then and send it back to Glen. He then replaced the originally intended acoustic guitar with an electric guitar and added some vocals to it. I like the outcome very much and hope you'll do too.
Thank you very very much, Glen!!! Hope we can do some more in the future ;-))

Blues Rocker in Bb - Glen Granthem & Andreas Kloppenburg

A few weeks ago I've downloaded an open collab called "Father's Day" whitch was initiated by Tom Adams https://soundcloud.com/user-342548892. Based on that I wanted to play a new "2 parts he/2 parts me-thing" then. Nothing wrong with this ;-)). Shortly after I began to jam a bit to Tom's track, Lawrence https://soundcloud.com/awrencearr wrote a message. He told me that he'd just recorded some vocals for that Adams track and invited me to play guitar on his version.
After giving a listen to it I happily agreed to do a 3 piece set with Tom and Lawrence ;-))). I really like what was coming out and hope you will do too. Thank's a lot Tom and Lawrence. Both are greats here on the cloud for sure!!!!
Tom Adams: Unique blues shredding
Lawrence Farr: angel like lyrics/vocals :-))

Promised Land - Tom Adams/Lawrence Farr/Andreas Kloppenburg

I'm a german guitarist who always wants to play better than he can *lol*. I love the sound of the guitar and I love guitars, their beauty and their smell. Never can get enough.
I wanted to make music since I was a little kid. I urgently wanted a guitar since the age of 10, I think. Unfortunately I got my first (classic) guitar not until the age of 18 because there was not enough money to buy one earlier. Well, since I've got my first guitar I nearly play every single day one of my darlings ;-).
Making my music public on the cloud is really a great thing for me. I love this community. Such fantastic musicians here...
I'm always interested in collaborating with talented musicians.
Thank's for visiting my page, hope you enjoy and don't forget: Music is everything!! Music is love!!! Without music, mankind would never exist anymore!!!!!!!!!

A NOTE TO ALL FOLLOWERS who only follow to get a refollow and then unfollow. Take a  warmhearted FUCK YOU!!! No like for a like, no refollow for a follow here.  I'll like what I like and I'll follow those who convinced me with their music!!!!

Cheers, Andreas
