The Ba-Di-Dap Blues: I love your guitar tone on this one! Really nice phrasing aswell, very cool bluesy licks, and enough variation to keep me interested throughout, nice scat singing too, very cool! I like the change of tone after the singing bit, helps keep things interesting. Nice outro aswell, overall, I really enjoyed this, perfect backgroundy music, yet works just as well when listening properly.

Who are your main influences, guitar wise?

Hard to say. I really listen to practically all kinds of music, and guitar-wise I love people like Zappa, Hendrix, BB King, Clapton, Django, Gilmour, you name the whole gang. Glad you liked the first song.

No problem I think I'm gonna listen to all of these and comment on them, I like the first one, so it stands to reason I'll like the rest.

Muziekje in de Nacht this time:
Nice intro, the piano and guitar sounded like they'd been recorded at different times, something to do with the mixing I think, but it's not major. I like the idea of having a waltz type thing with a guitar, but there could've been a bit more activity in both instruments to keep it interesting.

What happened at the end? It just seemed to cut off, with no ending, just like you'd run out of recording time or something.
