The Old Saloon - Original Music

Here's a song started as an improvisation on my cigar box guitar. Later I added a drum track via my Roland handsonic. Finally I added a guitar and bass track with my Musicman Stingray 5 and Petrucci 7 string. The feel of this song kind of reminds me of an old dusty saloon in the wild west on its last legs. Thanks for listening :-) #originalmusic #cigarboxguitar

What a great sound 🤘saloon party ;) ok, but I'm not sure what is the cigar box guitar...it sounds like "tamburica" but I don't think this is the same instrument 🤔

Thanks for listening :-). This cigar box guitar was made by hand with an old petron cigar box. It has doubled strings similar to a bouzouki. It is very similar to a tamburica just with a cigar box instead of a bowl shaped resonator.

Hey..That's pretty cool you won't be getting thrown of any stage if you keep that up...lol 👍

I just have to play this kind of stuff in small bars and hope the people don't start throwing bottles like in the blues brothers movie.

Just make sure you put that wire fence up first...no truly that sort of music has potential for you i would sit in a pub and listen to that 👍

I don't know why my comments do not show up on Dtube so Ive come to you steemit site to rewrite it because I love your music and presentations.

At first, I thought this might be a weak presentation by the way you started it with a few weak strokes on your cigar box guitar but then you build and layer on the other instruments and add the powerful ending. I loved it!

Thanks :-)

Aha now this comment finally showed up, before it just said "undefined". Thanks for listening, sometimes i like to start an improvisation by scratching out a tempo on the strings. Now i wish i had added another track with some symbols in it to round it out a bit more with percussion.
