instrumental Ever wonder what goes through a finger pickers mind when he listens to a rock anthem? This is my version, a "live" unedited cassette tape recording, sounding quite different. But #1 in Subs? That's just ridiculous. I smell payola here.

Fingerpickin guitar The real thing folks.. instrumentals, Country, Southern Rock, Blues, ..... whatever.
We're mostly comprised of musicians that have paid our dues playing clubs and bars. I had quit for 25 years before finally getting any interest in picking again. Now we do not play as a group anymore, but we all have DAW's, and we send CD's back and forth to each other. When someone wants me to pick on their CD, they just mail the .bun file to me, I open it, record my part, and send it back. Since I have picked up a guitar again I have met quite a few musicians from the area that I had not met before. And I have jammed with some of them, and recorded with others. Most probably I will also do some projects with people I have met at SoundClick. As long as I like the song and feel I can ad something positive to it, I'll do it. I just get to use what I play on in my CD's as well. I work cheap, don't I? On the other hand, no one could pay me enough to pick on a song I didn't like.

Story behind the song
I used to pick all by my lonesome when I first began playing guitar. For that reason I always looked for ways to make my sound fuller. To do this, I taught myself to finger pick. Back then I had dozens of songs I could play as instrumentals. After I started playing in clubs, the front man would often announce that the lead guitar man would play a few instrumentals for them. Then the rest of the band would tear off stage like rats leaving a sinking ship so they could down a few extra brews and schmooz the chicks while I was under the spotlite feeling somewhat like a lab rat. But then, I guess that's why they always hired me.
