CMJO - Clandestine (A Synth in a swing)-Fuga & Presti

I love the blues and became determined to learn to play when I found my beautiful Eastman archtop guitar up for sale, second hand for a bargain price, in Jan 2012. As soon as I touched it I fell in love.

I first tried playing guitar several decades ago: with unrealistic teenaged enthusiasm I fully expected to sound like Hendrix within a month or two while practising just thirty minutes a week. I gave up when I still struggled to tune my guitar and the cowboy chords I'd learnt sounded really rough when I literally banged on them. Girls were much more interesting.

In my late thirties I had a mid-life crisis(!), so I  bought a US Strat and a Gibson LP Pro, determined to learn to be an ageing 'bedroom rock star'. I was working long and hard hours so only practised on odd weekends, always wondering why following tab and listening to CD lessons was not working. I decided I was tone deaf and incompetent, so yet again, I gave up, still unable to master bar chords, convinced I would never be able to play.

As an early retiree, I decided to give it a final attempt when I found my black beauty: the first few years were a journey of discovery, discipline and sore fingers. I practised most days (except when arthritis in my joints and a trapped nerve in my shoulder 'froze' my fretting pinkie and sent my thumb totally numb). Back then, I trawled YouTube and bought a DVD course of lessons, and plugged away. It was worth it as I really enjoyed the fairly limited range of things I could play.

When I first arrived on Soundcloud, I was not expecting to find such a talented and helpful community. I just wanted to upload a jam track for my friends to hear, then I found the amazing wealth of creativity here. 

Sadly, my frozen shoulder, trapped nerve and related problems have pretty much stopped my guitar ambitions since 2016.

However, I still have a blast exploring all the fabulous originals and covers so many relatively unknown, but hugely talented, musicians have conjured up for the SC community. In my first five weeks on here I downloaded c100 tracks and 'liked' hundreds more, and since then I have created many playlists that I regularly listen to depending on my mood...

Simon Cowell and his ilk (overpaid gatekeepers/brand creators/ubercapitalists) have, until now, throttled mass talent for the sake of creating a relative handful of extremely wealthy 'cash cow' celebs.

Who needs these supposedly 'professional talent spotters' and their artificially enhanced 'celebrities'? The internet rocks!

NB If you too suffer from joint pain, RSI or trapped nerves I highly recommend this free DIY pain relief site: it is not just for guitar related injuries but pain anywhere in the body pretty much, and the techniques used really do work - although for me, they provide just temporary relief. Good luck!

Hi there,

My name is 'SoulMetricSystem'

I began as a singer in a band but kicked out very soon, hahaha. But i came back!!!!! as a percussionist.
Since i was 17 years old I have played in different kind of bands, reggea, funk, fusion, jazz, dj's, etc. And different kind of places; clubs, festivals, student party's, etc.
For over 4 years now i'm trying to make music in my home studio.
The music i make is a blending of all those styles above. It's most of the time groovy, with nice rhythm patterns. Atleast i think so :-)
Most of the time the sounds i create are very different of each other. But that's what i like to do: making music i like and what's in my head at that moment of time!

This is the SoulMetric train at this moment and honered to have met these wonderfull passengers at SoundCloud station:

Hi to everybody! I'm an old beginner drummer...I started playin' drums when I was young, but after only one year sold my Hollywood drum kit , for medicine studies and hospital working, marriage and sons....
recently I bought an acoustic Pearl kit, but the noise was too high, and then an Alesis drum kit, and the passion exploded in me again!
I am an absolute beginner , but I love so much the rhythm and drums..... I played for years on sofa cushion, following my preferred music, Genesis, Jethro Tull, EL&P, Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin, Deep Purple and many others...like a fool idiot!
Now I can play with my E Drum on drumless tracks, I joke with this, not being a really skilled musician, I'm studying drums anyway...
Sorry for my english....it is not my language...and I hadn't study enough....SC gives me the possibility of listen and share music with you, really good musicians, and friends!
Be patient with my beat errors...:-))))
I should be happy  to collab with others on SC ....if you need a (bad) drummer, I'm here!
Good Music to you all...
In few months I met on Sc so many friends, who gave me the chance to play on original and beautiful songs, I'll forever grateful to them for that, especially to Xycon, a great musician and man!
I have the pleasure and the luck to collab with some of these:
Xycon
Ray McGinnis
Torn
Tony Pappas
Anders Birr
Lee Lucas
PappaLeone
Jonny Cooke
Ed Haydon
Nick Nolan
MarkJ Bennett
Gianni Fuga
Vlad Josephson
Allan Lyon
Yann Vienne
and many others...
I want to thank all of these wonderful musicians for let me play on their music!
Music is life, and drums are the heart of music....
Thanks for all your comments!
Carlo

Dear listener, Feel free to leave comments and I'll try to reply.

I've been making music for around 16 years now but because of the wonderfully generous community that is SC, I have learned so much in a short time. I look forward to learning even more by collaborating. 
I suppose my strengths are in lyric-writing and singing. I feel fortunate to have been able to work with some stunning compositions by some very talented SCers.

My very best to you, Mark
