Major Snagg is the invented name of the 'band' that perform all my own musical creations. (songs and instrumentals). I play guitars, bass, rudimentary keyboards, harmonica, and sing. Melody has always been important to me... lyrics and guitar solos have to say or communicate something.
I create musical worlds that I hope that you dear listener, will also want to explore and live in for a few moments...or longer if you feel that way inclined.

Old school rock and roll cuz when rock was pure not over produced .
Excellent production really has a punch to it .

Very nice idea with the jangling and twangy guitars. Also great work on the whammy bar. The song is so fresh and straight forward, a perfect soundtrack to surfing and cruising the beaches in hot rods :)
Wonderful work on all the guitars, David. You sure gave your best to this one!

Has a great Joe Meek early 60's twang going on. I'm sure Bert would've loved it.

This song caught me right at the first bar. Distinctive guitar strumming. Polished catchy melody with nice retro tones. Clear punchy mix that sparkles. A great track.

The guitars sound great David but yours always do. Cool arrangement and great production. Nice drum and bass tracks as well. Joyous, nostalgic music.

Thumbs up!! :D

That twangy whangy bar guitar is played with a real sense of fun, and the bass sounds great! Great clear mix and a stellar tune. Tons of attitude on that middle break, too.

Nice retro styling and mix. The bass stands on its own and the guitars have just the right amount of break up to give it that retro rock feel and vibe. Nice recording!

Something old or retro and something edgy or newish. The Ricky sounds great as does the 12 stringer. The outro is very cool!!! This is a fine mashup of retro vs modern sounds, dig it!

Great tapping technique on the outro David :D
I hear the legacy Brit early rock
and also of many of my 60's hero's
on this side of the pond as well ;)
The Byrds, Buffalo Springfield, the Flying Burrito Brothers and Poco, all in full glory,
add to that, the main ingredient,
Major Snagg brilliance :D

Nice combination of retro styling/sound and modern. Excellent job on the production! Bert lived in Beaconsfield up to the day he died, you're probably familiar with the area David from your days in High Wycombe. He reckoned he bought his first guitar at Petticoat Lane market in London, lol...no internet in those days!

Incredible vintage guitar tone and textures, dig the jangle a lot and the Rick records with such depth. Really melodic AND hard rockin', a huge blast of awesomeness!
Man you get the bestest juiciest guitar tones. Holy Bananas.
