12 of the Best NickGCherrydot

As ever from me I've been told this is not your average rock song. Lead and Rhythm guitar is all Gibson 335 with a catchy riff and a chorus of harmonies, some cheeky guitar and drum fills held in place by slinky bass. The guitar rhythm is restrained (for me)and very addictive to play with an octave driven solo and staccato interlude which is not a phrase I use everyday! 
In summary it's 3.27 minutes of alternative rock pop and was a lot of fun to finalise.
The unfinished tracks are taking shape, though always interspersed with new songs and ideas vying for attention.
The music continues, enjoy!

The Things That You Love.WAV

the v-card that i never lost

When it all comes together this plays , 'toe tap tastic'
Hold onto your hat. Is the ending loud enough for you?
c/o Nick J rhyming nuclear fission /Two way transmission
As you do . Piccie the long sufferin well travelled and much loved and respected Luca Bug. Oh the stories he could tell. Seperated from his twin at birth , stuck in a tree in a public square in a sleepy French market town overnight , only to be fished out by a crabbing line (handle. not hook end). Also abandoned and alone on Brittany ferries till stewardess holding him aloft waving his arm to cars departing . Of which we were one , we were all reunited that day. Our Love's like nuclear fission we've got a 2 way....
November 2019 , thirty years on from original conception and having had a makeover 2WT has a very new lease of life , similarities there. This is now dedicated to Grupo Mamaraccho Bristol, you know who you are. Thank you.

Floyd (Feat. Northside Nate)

Penned on sunday morning over breakfast with the kids, that's rock n roll for you ! Riff came first then married with a psychedelic sequence I'd had for a while. This came together like 'Just The Tonic', Weight of the World' and 'Gotta Get Up' through separate passages being conjoined. Loved playing the chunky section and adding the surrounding extras to build up the context. 
My creative manager advised the track needed lyrics like adding just one sugar to coffee to ingratiate it to a wider audience. So did that.
The solo was fun, to obtain that sound numerous methods were used settling for what I call a bi-polar split phaser, naturally!
In retrospect this is my quintessential sound that I gravitate to first however that is till the next tune and that is certainly not like this...here we go again.  Nick

There's a progression here from 'On A Good Day'. Riff and music came quickly on this whilst on location. Lyrics took longer as did the mastering. Similar in style to 'Black Tulip' tracks 'Easy as 123' and 'Gotta Get Up'. 
Two more tracks in the pipeline, one commenced last night the other I'm playing hard to get with. Its been two thirds done for three weeks now, the finishing touches obviously need to cook a while longer! Till then watchout for 'Who Would You Be'.

Written entirely on location whilst in Sunny Swansea! A rollicking shuffle beat , cheeky guitar licks, catchy chorus, this is addictive.

Here's an early Cracker for Christmas.
Driven by single track distorted 335 with funky wah wah and 9th embellishments. Beatlesesque yeah yeah's and ooh's abound, hope it gets you movin'.

Gibson Cherry Dot obsession continues. Inspired by exciting grooves and a 60’s vibe which I wear on my sleeve. There’s an eclectic mix of guitar fuelled rhythms all written, produced and performed by myself which have now culminated in 226 tracks in 5 years. Having added vocals to the mix this has brought a further depth and individuality to the songs. 2020 saw the creativity in writing and self releasing 2 EP's and 9 albums 'The Black Tulip' , 'Prismatic' , 'Who Would You Be?' , 'The Red Carpet', 'Cat & Mouse', ‘How This Plays Out', 'Positive Signs', 'All The Colours' and  '9' from April 2022, it's frenetic.
These are available on the usual outlets Spotify/iTunes/Deezer/Pandora/Napster, Bandcamp etc.

Its eclectic, quirky I confess, British? Experimental in places but above all stuffed full with Gibson guitars, energy and a passion for music and life in the highs and lows that days of late bring.  Hope you appreciate the artwork too all photographed or produced by me to keep it authentic and original.

The tenth album 'Keep On' saw the development of style and flow which  includes my personal favourites 'The Things That You Love', 'Man on The Run' and the title track, 'Keep On'. These all adapted a different approach and development that simply wouldn't have occurred at the start of the journey,  

The music's progressing and the album 'The Perfect Storm' set the benchmark in online attention with the title track single. I think the style and sincerity of performance mirrored the fact that all of my tracks are written for a reason and sparked by quite intense life changing events behind the scenes, you couldn't write it or maybe I could ! 
Personal choices at the moment are the opener Can't Erase The Memory, I Can and of course the single The Perfect Storm. 

Twelfth album ‘Heart Of Blue’, is completed and recently released  September 6th 2024. It's been a while (for me) in the making and each track just builds on the last. The themes of resilience, belief and positivity remain and the music continues to be guitar driven and punchy with hooks and catchy melodies.  

Album 13 is entitled 'Every Time' and is released to all platforms on June 12th. To come so quickly after 'Heart Of Blue' says a lot about the inspiration and creative drive. Themes of resilience, perseverance, hope and love, dominate in what I believe is my most cognitive and mature album yet, see what you think.
 
I'm thankful the creativity continues. The fact the writing and playing still excites and intrigues is a bonus! Where there's a story to tell and a melody to be heard the last song is always my drug for the next, 13 albums in it's not abating anytime soon.
