guitar tabs, guitar chords and lyrics

M the keyboard part fills it out nicely all the tracks with the exception of the drums can be downloaded from my mediafire account the link is at the bottom of this post the folder name is "fire of light" you may want to listen to the original mix before adding any percussion or keyboards because the guitars come in at different bars and the guitar bass combination really drive this song the song can be heard on my website just click the link on the left,and I think your keyboard part will add a nice dimension

i checked your website out and you've got some nice songs there.  the keyboard i laid down was just a first version to see how it sounded, and will try to do a better one soon.  i'm glad you liked it

sounds about right m theres a vocal that will be on top, the guitar and bass lines are played in unison so a keyboard would fit in nicely as a backing which leaves room for a slide solo at the right time a  kind of edgar winterish feel

M is fine.  having heard the keyboard sound on fire of light,do you have any suggestions on how to play it? i'm thinking of lowering volume level on the keyboard slightly so that it becomes a background fill, not so "in your face" as it is now.

hi russel,  ran into a spot of trouble as i was trying to lay the keyboards on fire of light. for some reason ableton changed the levels of the original recording and turned the bass levels way up.  i've been fiddling about with it and couldn't find out why. decided to leave til tomorrow, and all of a sudden i had a brilliant idea which i think is going to solve the problem.  i'll try it tomorrow though because it's kind of late in this corner of the world and i'm starting to feel tired.  here's what i recorded:
the keyboards have changed (hammond b4 emulator) and again this is just a sound test .

tell us what you think 

hi all, i'm here again looking for help with a new tune that i've been toying around with.  it's a grungy sounding rock and i would really like some vocals on top (a guitar solo would be nice as well). i've called it doomsday, but depending on the lyrics it can certainly change name. So if anybody comes up with some lyrics and wants to sing over it here is a basic version of it:

any other ideas or comments would be much appreciated.

Any horn players?? I'm working on "Spanish Town" and am looking for someone to possibly record the horn work through the second verse and chorus.  The run after the chorus isn't really necessary.. Here's the song http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uzJPnSHG … annel_page You hear the horn kick in at around 1:00. No hurry, but if anyone can help, I'd appreciate it! -Pix

Hey guys! Aloha! I'm not sure if I'm in the right place/forum for this question, but maybe some one can point me in the right direction. I am currently "gigging" at a Farmer's Market here in Hawaii. The manager's of the market had said that if I have a CD of my own, I could sell it in addition to the tips.  I don't have any originals to record, but just do "cover's" of Hawaiian songs. Some of the Hawaiian songs date back to the late 1800's so I'm pretty sure those songs ar "Public Domain", but the question I have, is:

"How do I find out if I have to pay royalties to record the songs, and how much do I need to pay?, and who or what agency is in charge of that kind of thing?"

I'm just an amateur that loves to play ukulele and sing Hawaiian and local contemporary songs, but have had a lot of people ask me if I have a CD out so they can buy it. Most of my songs are of the popular "tourist' type of songs that would remind them of their visit to Hawaii, but they're not "MY" songs, these are songs from an era that was a happier, carefree time of a generation before I was born. Waikiki now looks like Rodeo Drive in Beverly Hills with all these designer stores like Luis Vuitton, Coach, Tods, Salvatore Ferragamo, Tiffiny's, Bulgari... etc.  I play music made popular by Don Ho, Kui Lee, Buddy Fo and the Invitations, and other entertainers from decades earlier.

Just wondering since I'm not really a "Professional" although I DO get paid a "stipend" for playing at the Farmer's market.

Aloha Clayton I remember the artists you mentioned,I met Don ho and Kui Lee when I was playing with the Greenmen in Honolulu at the old Betty Rileys ago go and Kui lee sat in and performend a few songs as did Lou Christiy we also played several other clubs in honolulu I eventually did return with my own band and performed several clubs including the Mango tree in Lahina Maui,to answer your question you dont need to worry about making a CD and paying royalties and selling them where you perform because you are not generating enough sales to attract that much attention unless the CD is released by another recording company and then they will handle the bussiness so go ahead and make the CD I miss Waikiki I lived just a block away and played chess under the covered tables on the beach it was a magical time I also played at the Dunes near Pearl Harbor Hawaii and the people were really nice hopefully I will get back to visit good luck with your CD Aloha

Aloha Clayton...I recently found Israel Kamakawiwo on youtube.  Oh wow, I love his voice.   Do you do any of his?   I play 'Somewhere Over the Rainbow' over and over from my music library...  Such a peaceful quiet, but authentic rendition.  It led me to other songs from your beautiful Hawaii.
