Finding it difficult to be creative on my own...

I'm finding it really difficult to be creative without other people around for input. So I figured I'd upload another tune, although this seems different from the other one I uploaded a few days ago. It's either that or I'm completely shitty at playing and writing. Unemployed and have a lot of time ...

I just checked out the Two Cow Garage stuff...I dig it a lot.

Going to check out the Suburban Home Records out tonight too, this is stuff I've really found myself trying to achieve lately.

Wish I could throw some drums or something on it so i's not so bare.

with some drums and vocals it would remind me of 'two cow garage' I like it. Right on thanks, it's a sound I'd like to get more into.....dunno what it's called but kinda country/blues/rock stuff. loads of old punks I know love all that stuff..... they call it 'country tinged punk' or 'punk tinged c...

Here's the link, but the other one above works fine when I try it.

Track 1: Power Chords
Track 2: Licks
Track 3: Harp
Track 4: nothing

After listening to it again, seems a little repetitive and not really going anywhere. We're no Muddy Waters and Little Walter, but it was fun.

A tune...finally figured the uploader out.

Found this today while unpacking from my move to Oklahoma (from Chicago). Buddy and I got lit up and tried our best to write a farewell song...track 4 was lyrics, which I had to cut out but anyway thought I'd throw this up. Criticism welcomed....lord knows I need it.

I put a pair of SD Antiquites in my 1965 mustang. Someoe before me had pulled out the original and put stat pickups in it...sounded terrible. The SD's really made it shine. Could handle anything I threw at it and they were too pricey. I left them uncovered too so I don't know if it changed any quali...

I had this pedal and sold it to Chicago Mike. It would pickup radio stations if I touched the case while it was engaged. I used an isolated power supply, but couldn't fix the problem. I like a very quiet signal chain, so I sold the pedal. Very sensitive controls made it tough to get the sound I was...

dude, thats a great trade. those teles are amazing. i'd take a tele over a stang any day. Yah, I'd agree. I've got a '90s RI '52 Tele and it's a workhorse. I haven't even rewired for modern position switching! It's gonna need a refret soon, which is the only guitar I have that I can say that's need...

So yes you might find a bunch of people here playing pedals I made them, and I cut everyone on shortscale better deals than I do for orders I get via my website and youtube. Because this is a community, because I'm only too happy to try and give something back to it in any way I can. This is why Mi...

Well I'd bet you'll find many more Salt Boosters on this forum than any Zvex pedals. And that's all that matters buddy. It's all about advertising! :lol: Meh, it's more about buying something affordable, from someone who's not jobber looking to turn massive profits, and performs/sounds top self. We...

wtf happen to Zvex to get all that hate. a few years ago everyone was licking his asshoel. You mean someone who charges what he does for the simple pedals he makes should be commended? I don't notice the Salt Booster outselling the SHO so he must be doing something right + the Inventobox is a very ...
