Thanks Corey, for listening and your kind comment.  

Speaking of "Houserockers" Hound Dog Taylor did a version of Hawaiian Boogie also, I think I stole a little from him too on that.

And thanks to all for your comments, and also all of your tunes.  Cool bunch here!

Mike, good call on the pickup, not exactly but close, it's a Harmonic Design Superchrome, which is a sorta P90 stuffed into a standard tele neck pickup format.

@stevieboy...reminds me of the phrase, 'genuine houserocking music'...nice job and thanks for posting.

@Corey...no worries :)))...I've seen the picture on Fb about your Tour in Finland...it seems that you had a lot of fun and had a very meaningfull room to sleep for a Rasta like you, in that nice hotel ;)

I'm honoured about Candy Man..really! :))

thanks

Alex

@EVERYONE

Please excuse my belated arrival to open mic night...I see that everybody has gone home and turned out the lights.  I sincerely regret not being able to be here with you all when it was goin on.  I was touring in rural Finland and wifi was not easy to find.  as always I am impressed by the wide variety of talent that we have here.  thanks everyone.

@Alex...nice version of candyman...i have always liked this tune and you make me want to go learn it.  classic!

@JDY...yes this is a nice rocking tune....reminds me of JB Hutto and Elmore James.  You get a nice sound out of that axe you are playing...bravo!

@Rich G....I dig how you play in all the right spots in this tune.  I wasn't familiar with it before so thanks for putting it up here.  Nice job.

@SWLowery...whose tune is this?  it sounds like one of them old classics...i dig the changes and the spirit that you put into it.  thanks for posting.

@Alex...I really like this tune and how you play it is full of feeling.  Very nice...the tempo is perfect and you keep it in a nice groove the whole way.  Bravo.

@DenisF...nice playing...thanks for posting!

@Jeff Suttles...I love this tune and how you play it.  Timeless!  Thanks for posting and put a battery in that smoke detector lol!

@Mike...wow I really dig this one...around the way they would say "u baad as hell"...lol...really nice.  Tell the drummer good job!

@Peter Wolf...I can hear that you have put in a lot of work.  Your guitar playing is nice and steady, and the birds are a nice natural touch.  Thanks for posting.

Thank you Mike and Peter for your positive and encouraging words - means a lot. Yes it was original -  I've got loads of songs - for better or worse - mostly love songs for my wife. I use an old Yamaha PSR 320 keyboard plugged into a Fostex VF80 8 track or, latterly, into a Yamaha AW1600. Guitars and vocals all into a mike plugged into same. Your site is really good and I'm sure I'll make more use of what you offer,

Kind Regards,

Chris

Easy would be a great song to learn.I've been playing the tune but want learn it right. thanks again for the nice tunes you play.

Old Rocker Ballad 

My lyrics, vocal and harmonica.

Jerry, Peter, Mike, JD Krooks Crouhy & all, Many thanks,

It is very pleasant when such great people respond well about my sound from far Russia!

KEEP ON BLUES!

Peter, after less than one month, Andrea died....Can you feel how strong this man was? He knew that he still didn't have much time to live but continued singing...he's a real inspiration

Peter yes it's the parlour in the last two videos!!!It's exciting to read by an english speaker "no potho reposare" which is sardinian language..It's our native language....

here's a more tradional version by Andrea Parodi, great singer from Sardinia...he died of cancer but he still continue to sing until his death...great artist and first of all great man

in this video you can clearly see the effect of chemiotherapy on him....it's such a touching video..the language you will hear it's our native language...check on google..you will like for sure Sardinia..it's a wonderfull place to come for vacation anf for everything else

Andrey - Nice job on the melody.

Denis - You really do have some great skills on the harmonica. Your approach on Mystery Train kind of sounds like Sonny Terry meets Paul Butterfield. It was very interesting to listen to and showed your own approach. Really, it was very well done though, as I said before, just a bit busy for my taste. You're doing great and I look forward to hearing more from you.

@Mister Portnoy Great honor you have done to critic my version of Mystery train..I understand very well what you ask but it was the first time that we play this song.  Merci

@Peter Merci and I love what you do...

guys...I've got a question... I bought a new guitar...I'd like to have a more warm sound expecially in 1st and 2nd string....at the moment it's a little too clear...if I change the action is it possible that the sound is goin to change??? or it depends on the strings?...I normally use 0,13...I've also noticed that if I tune the guitar a hole step down the sound is warmer..:)

The woods of the guitar are cedar on top and mahogany back and sides....all solid wood...this type of wood should give the guitar a sweeter sound but it's still to clear and bright in the first two strings!

@Stevieboy ... great playing.  Love the tone!  Was that a P-90 neck pick-up?  It has this cool fresh yet retro feel.

@Andrey ... beautiful song and playing.  I really like how you built it up and moved with the playing.

@JD ... nice guitar.  Love that low end riff you play at 3:15 ... and really dig how you ended the song (especially that last chord).

@Alex ... that's a really beautiful song.  Would be great if you could record it without the fan noise.  I like the new guitar too.  Ah, now I want to get a parlor!

@Chris ... really nice harmonies and chords.  Has a cool 60's feel / vibe.

Have enjoyed listening to the great stuff here. Hope you like mine. No video I'm afraid. Love and Peace, Chris

Denis,

You've got some very impressive technnique. Good control, tone, attack etc. To my ear, though, on the musical level I think you could simplify the lines you're playing, slow down and be mindful of the chord changes. Work in and out of the spaces that the singer leaves. Learning how to use space to your advantage will be very helpful.
