 Here's the link . I want this one to have a foggy kind of quality like the narrator thinks he's seeing things clearly but something's off and getting worse.  I tried to accomplish that through the flange on the guitar and chorus on the bass.  If there are other instruments we could introduce to enhance that feeling, I'd love it. Drums need a thorough look.  Backing vox would be great in the verse, but I think crucial in the chorus.   It's a pretty tight little song - I'd be open to suggestions on if a bridge or other structural element might help. Lyrics Just me and the frogs enjoying the air outside We're nodding along before I take a dive Maybe too long, maybe it's been all night They're letting me go knowing I'd be alright Remember walking down a real thin line Not trying to hear about the ravages of time Not even sure what came out of me Even still several women fussing over me I need to call letting her know I'm gone Think I did before ...

Here's the link . This one started with a groovy little BD Latuli guitar progression. That's his original guitar in this track.  My concept on this one is sort of three parts which are pretty obvious when you listen: 1. Verses are pretty straight, I wanted the vocals to come across with just a hint of like a modern Dire Straits Romeo & Juliet. 2. A scabbed up gnarly bridge  3. A pretty outro that should feel like a mixture of realization/regret/shame. Drums are in there just as something to play along with - needs a complete re-think from the drum-minded in our midst. It's somewhat disjointed feeling in its current state, could use some connective tissue particularly in the use of drum changes/fills to help transition from section to section and maybe some underlying element (second guitar, some kind of pad/synth) at least in the verses that can give it some forward motion.  I really want to hear another voice (Josh) in the outro singing something like a 3rd in betwee...

 NR16 Capo on 6, all barre-style shapes A, F#m, B7, Bm7 So actual chords are D#, Cm, F7, Fm7 NR15 This is an update to NR6 from 12/2/23 Using the original - A, Bsus2, D, A ( Capo on 2, so shapes are G, Asus2, C, G) as the second part, now preceded by these shapes: Am, G, Am, Em Am, G, Em Actual chords =      Bm, A, Bm, F#m                                        Am, A, F#m Josh's workup of my jam

  NR12 G shape, no capo moving up and down the neck G then C (on 8th fret) then F (13th) NR13 Capo on 5 and starts with an Am shape (so actually a Dm) A lil vamp on Am, Am7, Fsus2 (3-0-1 on the D,G,B), Am7 Then a G So it's actually Dm, Dm7, A#sus2, Dm7 then C NR14 With lyrics! Capo on 5 G Am I’m struggling for a pastime when I’m bein’ at home G Am Called on forgot the password fearin’ bein’ alone C       Bm Am Got started on my racehorse yesterday C   Bm Am But unwilling to change out a fuckin’ thing Fantasize of cuttin’ lifelines once those kids are grown Little Billy Golden Neptune and your star is born Get started on a game I’ve yet to play But unwilling to change out a fuckin’ thing Seeing black and gold connectors in the sky at night Half asleep and in a war game now the timing’s right Bay City in a daydream, friends for free But unwilling to give away a fuckin’ thing

  NR7 Simple acoustic progression G, Am, D7, G G, C, Am7, D7, G.... Capo on 2 so shapes are: F, Gm, C7, F F, A#, Gm7, C7, F NR11 Some cool chords in here First one is on the A,D,G,B strings - 12,10,0,12 Second one is a C played as a barre chord on the 8th fret Third is a C shape, but slid up two frets so it's some kind of D Fourth is again on ADGB as 7,x,7,8 Then it moves to some three note chords on A,D,G - 12,10,0 then 10,9,0 then 9,7,0 then 7,5,0 NR2 Maybe the middle part is worth something? Capo on 3 For that middle part, it's 10 on the A and 11 on the B, pulled off to 10, then a C shape so you're on the 6 on the B string, then I think a C7 shape?  

NR5   Here's an alternate version of the song Josh and I were working up.   I've slowed it down, added effects, and messed around with sort of an extended part at the end.   Chords: Cm Fm G Fm     A# G7 Cm   Fm G G#     A# G7 G#       A# Cm Fm A# G7 G#     A#       Cm G# A#7   NR6 Real simple I, II, IV, I progression - A, Bsus2, D, A Capo on 2, so shapes are G, Asus2, C, G NR4 Playing the eBG strings only, this is D#m, B, C#, A# NR3 A little lick starting on the A string 12--15 and based on the 12th fret  NR2 Perhaps a bit sad , but I think it's got some richness to it that I like G, F# in the root with a Dm shape on the B (3) and G (2) sliding to 4 on the G, Em, D (slide to 5 on the B at the end)
