Way to wail out those licks, Mike! Still loving the chops here. I like the places where you drop the bass and drum out for a few beats then bring it all back together...taking away to add...nice arrangement. Still drooling over the speed on that guitar! ;)
Very well done for sure! A really groovy guitar jam that I was digging all the way. You have a very clean and precise style of playing that projects very well through the speakers. I believe you could probably say it all in about three to four minutes worth of jammin. This is the kind of music I love to see live. Great job and always keep the faith!
Looks like i missed this too, also hearing on this, that communication between the rhythm and the lead guitar, i'm thinking you play both but it has a band feel to my ears, great musicians feeding of each other. The bass plays its own valuable part, quite low in the mix but very relevant . Enjoyed this Mike. Thumbs. Gibbo
Super guitar playing that certainly sounds like some ace jam!. Love that bass line too. Missed this little gem during the summer but pleased we got to it now...Easily rated..
A ruff Jam? No more like the coolest music I have heard in a long, long while! I really love Jamming good time, San Franciscan, Psychedelic vibes, why, because, good playing like this is an absolute pleasure to my hungry ears! P.S This (for me) sounds a bit like John Cippolina (of the Quicksilver Messenger Service) it is really GOOD guitar! Cheers, Andrew
Hey, I like this ruffjam. Its pure, exactly what music should be. I love the funky beat and your awesome guitar playing style compliment each other so well. You have a very innovative nature. Don't lose it! Maybe I'm "old school", but I love a raw sound. Sometimes we tend to clean things up so much that we produce music that is sterile. Best of luck and keep doing what you do!
Thank you Blenderbuss! Enjoy your knives! -Mike
This would be ace on QVC the shopping channel. I can imagine ordering a set of steak knives and a wok to this. Thumbs!
Nice guitars! That riffage about 1:30 in particularly sweet, but it's all good. That bass track really caught my ear too! And made my fingers itch...:) Nicely done, man!
Thank you; Erik, James, Terry, Carol Sue and Rich for taking the time! It truly is your comments that make me a better musician and I am forever greatfull to you all! Thanks from my heart always!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Excellent Jam! Digging the bass also - is that you? But the guitar, man - you hit some pockets where you just take my mind on some roller coaster adventure - think I'm heading one direction and whipped into another. Love it! I like the title too - one of a kind!
Lost in the groove Mike . I love your jam recordings - loosely structured but full of juicy guitar moments. Has all the elements i usually use to describe your work - funky, bluesy and punchy. Your production technique is improving too - this seemed to have a much bigger sound. Hope you get more time to be creative very soon. Thumbs. James
It wouldn't be a complete day without dropping to hear a little jamming Mix by the jam master. This doesn't disappoint.. Crisp notes and melodic lines. Liked the bass wanderings in this one. Oh and the the rhythms guitars wailing on the one side..oh and the lead fingers flying along on the right...OH heck, I like the whole darn thing! Thumbs!
That title... hehe~ Mademesmile!:) I do believe you are in the rock zone of making some fantastic music, my friend- and you know what? I enjoy peeking in on you play!! (becauseya-sogooood!) =Bravo=
What's not to enjoy! Listening to you jam is a treat in more ways then I can count. Such fluidity in the swing and your stance is just off the charts!

I'm Just trying to bring some life back to real blues and Jazz guitar playing while at the same time trying to offer the best I have musically and creatively in hopes I too might leave a tiny and likely invisible piece of myself in these guitar strings of record! Hands filled with strings! Gloom be damned!
"Not really good at social networking. Not sure what it even means! One thing I do know is that their is some of the best blues guitar scattered throughout most of my songs. I sure hope I can sway someone anyone to just once be able to feel the way I feel as my fingers orchestrate the fretboard seemingly effortlessly. Doesn't happen all the time put when it does, these are the parts I really hope you get a chance to hear listening to these songs. As for myself, the passage of this kind of time are what make the sense of the simplistic purity that unlocks the soul and places it in strings in hands which churn tiny bits of time in place while the spores of true audible brilliance can dance!"

Flashflooding possible with extreme gusts of wind! Otherwise it's shaping up to be a Jazzy full blues-sky sunny rockin day!
