SINGER SONGWRITER JASON AYRES Everything I Say.

Influenced by the rhythmic pop of John Mayer, the vocal stylings of Jeff Buckley and the storytelling of Dave Mathews, Jason Ayres is a West Australian based singer-songwriter who delivers a unique brand of acoustic pop tunes.

As a solo artist, Jason has built a passionate fan base, from young teenage listeners to baby boomers, all finding a connection in his music.

After touring the major cities of Australia and South Africa, it was evident that the lack of media attention had actually been a benefit to this aspiring artist, allowing him to fly under the radar and enabling people to discover him in an organic way, forming a bond between performer and listener that is extremely rare in this fickle era.

Having performed alongside artists like "James Cruikshank" (The Cruel Sea), "Jez", Perth favourites "Toby & Code Red" & "Saritah", and having supported one of South Africa's top bands "Lonehill Estate" during one of his South African tours, Jason has developed his own style and grace on stage, always being faithful to the songs, himself and his listeners.

With no banging drums or screaming electric guitars, his debut recording "The Acoustic Sessions" sees Jason Ayres stripped back, and performing at his most intimate. Just an acoustic guitar, his voice, and quality songs.

"The Acoustic Sessions" is out now! ! !

C'mon people...let's challenge ourselves here. The chorus chords are just the same tired first position chords that people have been strumming for sixty years. And the right hand techniques are very straightforward. Keep working, Jason. Explore some different chords, different tunings, put down the pick and try finger-style. Your voice is okay but the lyrics could be a lot more interesting. I'm not trying to be a dick, just gonna be honest and this is pretty ordinary.

wow. you are great, it's wonderful!!!!!!

[turoniner]

@thomps92 Wow, what an angry little fellow you are! Don't worry, I can promise you that there isn't any patty cake first position strumming in my songs, and I take great pleasure in romping through unfamiliar lyrical territory. Also, I love how you've gotten so worked up about a terribly trite song that begins with "how do I find my way / if it's too dark to see." You really should choose more interesting music to defend so vehemently...well, see ya later!

[thomps92]

@turoniner GREAT! I can't wait to hear your original songs. I'll be the first to critique them for you. It's gonna be interesting to see you NEVER using G, C, or D chords. BTW, write something original that's NOT about love, death, society, lies, money or fame. Don't worry I am sure you would be a great pawn for a record label. Best luck MATE.

[turoniner]

@thomps92 HAHA. This song doesn't sound unique at all, but that's adorable that you think so. I'm sure with ears like those you'd make a great talent scout. Just kidding!! You'd lose a record label LOTS of money, because you clearly have no idea what "original" sounds like. And don't worry, my songs are coming...

[thomps92]

@turoniner Furthermore......when writing a song the tone of the song i.e. the chords have to fit the mood you are trying to convey, then the strum pattern has to fit the tempo of the song. So what MR. AYRES has done is written an original song which sounds like NO other song I have ever heard before to convey his message and meaning. I be if YOU hadn't been able to see the chords he was playing YOU wouldn't even be able to identify and name which chords and notes he was playing. JUSY SAYIN'

[thomps92]

@turoniner OK. So yes he's using the the same 'ol basic chords that Poison, Green Day, Matt Nathanson, Howie Day use, but WHOA............wait a minute........the song sounds original and unique. I just checked out your page and don't see any of your own songs. SO why don't you write a song.....come up with something meaningful......put some chords down and let's hear it TOUGH GUY!!!!!

[turoniner]

@sebradius Yes, some of the greatest songs in history have featured simple guitar work. But you're talking about a more than sixty year history of songwriting. In 2011 it's becoming more difficult to pull off great songwriting without being innovative instrumentally. Furthermore, the simple songs you're referencing featured brilliant vocal melodies and universal messages rendered cleverly. These lyrics are trite and self-centered, and the melodies are boring. So there ya go.

[sebradius]

@turoniner I would agree with you for the most part, but then again, there are so many great songs being played with simple chords progressions (most of my favorites are) So If Ray Lamontagne or Damien Rice can write so many fantastic songs using basic first position chording, why should others suddenly strive for complexity?Complexity does not always make it better, in fact, I think simplicity is the hallmark of some of the best songs ever written

@equalmatter HA well seeing as how this comment was two years ago, has 27 thumbs up and multiple comments in agreement, I'd say it isn't trolling at all. Just stating the facts. When someone is gonna make mediocre music, I'm going to be there with a youtube comment. Or were you referring to yourself and how you're clearly trolling right now? That must be it.

[equalmatter]

@turoniner Wow, troll much??
