Mc7

A little about myself Im 42 years old now. Ive lived, Ive loved, Ive lost but Ive made more friends than enemys. Life is more of a blast now than ever before. I know my direction. I know what I like. I know what I want. Growing older hurts more each day but like the old saying goes, no pain/no gain.

The battle scars of life should never be hidden. It means youve been there and experienced the bad with the good. So wear them like badges of honor.

Im kinda of a jack of all trades. I currently paint tractor/ trailers for a living but Im also a certified electrical technician for forklifts as well as a diesel mechanic. Been working on cars all my life. Not really by choice. I had to get my two sisters to school everyday as well as get myself to work. So in order to do that, I had to not only figure out what was wrong with my peice of junk car but fix it too!

Im a welder/cutter, sometimes carpenter and even made a few knives by hand which I plan to pass down to my nephew. I dabbled in the world of gunsmithing as well. I used to love to shoot Fort Bening tactical/pistol matches.

Music has always been a big part of my life and now more than ever. I finaly kicked the habit of smoking after 20 some odd years of it and I decided to learn to play the harmonica now that I dont cough my head off all the time. Im also trying to teach myself the guitar as well. I love the Blues for playing guitar and harp but my musical tastes are vast. I love Country. Rock. Southern Rock. R&B. Rap. Heck im cool with just about any kind of music except classical. :)

Reviews:

Solo_1
''Good chug, good sound for SS, loose structure but developed a life of its own somehow. Good experiment and something to build on.''
--BeelzeBob

Solo_1
''Breathing through this little thang called a harp, is a gas!''
--Eric Stahl

Solo_1
''I loved it! That Solo stayed "crunchy" even in Milk. I want to get my sound like that through this Audacity software and I see you have more than a mic plugged into the computer. But I digress...great job!''
--Kennyboy

Solo_1
''Sounds like a steam train to me! Nice soloing MC!''
--BlueInGreen

Solo_1
''you sure got that thing 'honking' - great crunch tone!! - nice breaks in rhythm and melody structure - coming on strong Mike!! - good one!!!''
--htrain

Solo_1
''When the train comes in everybody rides. Another fantastic solo.''
--Htmn007

Solo_1
''the tone was pretty good but i think maybe more movement around the harp needed?''
--moablues

Solo_1
''You built the base, with a good solid sound. Next, to expand on that''
--Eric Stahl

Solo_1
''Nice rhythm work. Never easy to keep a harp solo interesting and in time''
--Ed

Solo_1
''Way to get after it Mike. I liked Brett's comment around structuring something around the I IV V. For me it just needed the tension and release type thing that you get when stepping through the chord progression. Good stuff.''
--MoCheeks

Solo_1
''All aboard! Good base chugs to build on.''
--roknwil

Solo_1
''Good work on chugging and trying to drop in some fills Michael. Keep practicing...and you'll be able to put more complex fills in.''
--Lips Angelo

Solo_1
''This actually gave me an idea. Do a chord/rhythm track and then improvise over top of it. Like those fast slurs at 0:52 and elsewhere.''
--BeelzeBob

Solo_1
''Good basic chuggin' chops and rhythm laying a foundation for the bricks and mortar to come.''
--Gorfalamu

Solo_1
''Nice chuggin and rhythm exercise, a lot of energy. Some more rhythmic varitions would have added tension.''
--Frosty

Solo_1
''way to go MIke - good solid rhythm established - liked the pause around 1:00 - keep working those melody single note 'break outs" to get out of chug pattern - you sure held it for a log time - good one bro!!''
--htrain

Solo_1
''Expressive, individual and very nice ...''
--Barry B

Solo_1
''Goog playing Mc7, like the groove and sound,its not easy!''
--RonDutch

Solo_1
''good rhythm definition kept good solo groove''
--dmb

Solo_1
''pro sound but watch the backbeat''
--floppy lips

Solo_1
''let the urgency come out off the backbeat more to take a dublle breath, this is the right way or ty to stamp with the feet, great you did it!''
--floppy lips

Solo_1
''Good rhythm and some inventive licks in there Michael. To my ears you mostly stayed on the I chord, so maybe next time you could try building a solo around the entire I-IV-V progression for a shuffle.''
--Brett
