Bossa Nova literally means ‘new flair’ or ‘new trend’ in Portuguese. It is a style that was created in the late 1950’s. It is basically a fusion of Samba and Jazz, using traditional Brazilian rhythms. Here I add a Bluesy Twist to it, hope it works! 
First, you'll hear a clean guitar sound, then introducing a more overdriven one, for the grand final  :)))

Regeneration picks up where Planet in Peril left off.  A sequel of sorts.  Touches on neglect and abuse, effect of Covid-19 and leaves off with a message of hope.  Stick around till the end.

You can ignore the facts,  and make up your own
Mislead the masses,  for personal gain
This changes nothing, nothing at all
Avoid and neglect  exasperate the need
We need to act, and need to act now.

There is no denying,  we must be better
So much at stake,  a lifetime to lose
We can make a difference, and foster a better way.

Daily life on pause,  traffic ground to a halt.
Social distancing hinders, our most primal needs.
Basic activities,  now a challenge to all.
Pollution dissipating,  and waters clearing
An invisible threat, at our very doorstep.

There is no denying,  we must be better
Our world is so fragile,  we all have a part
A little pain today,   wake up to a brave new world

Instrumental

We must do better,  or risk it all.
Too much at stake,  to stand idlely by.
This too shall pass,  and good times return.
We bear the burden,  to take control
Change our habits,  to shape the future.

The is no denying,  we must be better
A frightening time,  a wake up call to all.
A worldwide effort, a regeneration.

Randall dreams and receives instructions: there is a flower that grows between a crack in a sidewalk, somewhere in the city. He wanders until he finds the flower, then eats it.

As I wrote in the notes of Interstellar Journey, this piece is also the re-adaptation of Awakening part 1, also part of the "Awakening Project". Both Part 2 and Part 3 will follow soon.
A cordial thanks to those who listen to me and support me.

https://soundcloud.com/specialvocals/aca-meme-planete - this free acapella by Special Cecilia was the icing on a track I've been working on.  I've used a vocal pitch tool to make the vocals suit my track, so if there's  any strange effects: my responsibility - I hope I succeeded ! Enjoy !!! ------ My solo: played with the Akai EWI + the awesome Respiro VSTi by imoxplus / Belgium

Happy Birthday to me! 

And as i am keen on sharing this magic (well i usually dont make a big deal out of my birthday)moment with you , i present a new full analog crazy experimental track to you.

This one is especially to be understood (for sure in any way you, as the listener want to), haha, as the synth is kinda parteying with me.. all alone.  If you listen closely... you might discover, that its one of these partys, where not all are having fun.... LOL. Oh wait.. WHO BROUGHT THAT DOG!!!!??!?!

All sounds done with the fresh unpacked Behringer Crave... and damn i was craving to fetch myself a piece of analog gear with the CEM3440 chip..... i had to send back 3 neutron, as all of them had the same issue ..... so i sadly gave up on that idea.... but.... as this little crazy experimental tune shows... this thing is capable of soooo many dope sounds..... i love it!!!!

Short update on anyone who cares... i am working intense on my new soundcloud banner... it will be a real visual experience... hehe.

Take care all and much love,
your sonic servant,
Fullyard

DIE STIMME VOM DACH - Petrosilius (VollSpeed (z)Wackelmann - Remix)

"To my mind, a BLUES doesn't have to be a 12-bar progression. To me, if a song has the right emotion then I accept it as BLUES" - PETER GREEN

"I go by feel, I go by feel. 
The only way I know what's real" - BUDDY GUY

Mostly, as a self-taught guitar player (maybe not... considering all the influences and internet/book resources I've come across lately!)  and rather than trying to be anything remotely near a good player of any great technique, I'm not bound by genre or clichés; I just like to go for it. It's a whole lot better that way. 
Blues is a human expression of emotion. That may explain why I felt called to blues music, even though, I grew up in Europe, a continent apart from the music’s heartlands in America’s Deep South. And that may also be the reason for the great Portuguese Bluesmen we have nowadays (The Legendary Tigerman/Frankie Chavez/Budda Power Blues/Rui Veloso/Dead Combo/The Black Mamba/Mazgani and many others...)

I’m a fan of raw guitar players who aren’t really polished… you’re not sure if it’s all going to fall apart.  Those who, rather than trotting out a collection of preconceived practised licks and lines, take some chances along the way, creating ideas on the spot. IMHO they sound more exciting and impressive for it. I play whatever comes into my head. It's an adventure because when I do a breakdown or a solo, it's new each time and I just let it go... The majority are first take. I just turn it on and press record...they are mostly one moment in time. I’m always looking for something. Sometimes I’m not quite sure what, but you just have to keep looking...
The real beauty is playing without thinking and once you have some concepts down, what comes out, is from the heart.  It's second nature. 
I just enjoy listening and playing some music, in honour of that timeless way of killing time (just for the fun of it...and whenever inspired: "If you're not feeling it, don't play it!"). I'm happiest picking out a blues tune to a suitable backing track. After all, simple music is the hardest to play...
For me, half the battle is to get the right sound. And that, in turn, inspires how you play.
As a tone fiend, I like to let those bluesy guitar tones breathe a little bit. But, almost everything I play, it never, ever comes out quite the way I heard it in my head. Sometimes I end up with something that's kind of close, but it's not quite what intended originally. These uploaded tracks are no exception... They are far from being perfect. First of all, I'm not a fan of perfection when it comes to music...it may even compromise the tone, but if the tone is there, great! It sounds like a human being playing guitar. 
As Dan Patlansky once said "I would rather hear an average player with a great guitar tone than a great player with a bad tone".
 I love stuff that sounds like a spontaneous real-life experience. Playing music is a human activity, and we humans are far from perfect! There is a certain charm in something that feels human with the flow of a spontaneous performance. It's that spontaneity that makes for the magic... 
Feel free to comment good, bad or indifferent and do not hesitate to share any ideas you might have. 

Favourite guitarists (old school suspects apart):
Matt Schofield;  Jim Campilongo;  Walter Trout; Robin Trower; Joe Bonamassa; Andy Timmons; Gregor Hilden; Robben Ford; Larry Carlton (among others)...
