My first Christmas original just off the presses with that cowboy, spaghetti western style.
Paul: Why don't you try Jingle Bells or something
Geas: Oh God,No, I hate the classics... that sucks......
Paul: Yea that does suck. Try emmmm, Oh Holy…
I spent the day skrewing around with this Roumanian Minor scale again. I am really testing layered drums on this one, Toms mostly.
There's a lot happening. Acoustic, Strat, Bass, 4 Juno tracks, and all kinds of percussion.
Only a two chord change…
Written and Recorded April 22, 2010
Buddah defined compassion as "a trembling of the heart."
Details: Epiphone Les Paul (DADGAD/DADGAD Capo VII), Seymour Duncan Pickups, POD XT, Boss RC-20 Looper, EBow, Audacity.
another experimental piece. This time we each played our parts separately. I started out with wacked out guitar madness, then bass, then drums and finally some insanely spacey sound effects.
Enjoy...
A typical folk song.
Written and recorded in about an hour for the 24 hour album (attempted on March 13th). Excuse roughness and vocal glitches, it was 2am and this was my first full take.
Thanks to montgomeru for his chord suggestions…
PORTAL and HAPPINESS and TIME are three of the songs on my new CD, EUREKA. Short pieces.
TIME
There was a time when I figured my Chevy van would last forever
I guess that was back when I was about thirty
And there was a time when I thot…
From the root D, as the picked notes are D, F, G and B....
Sometimes interesting stuff occurs when you just plug in some numbers. For example, I sometimes play around with what I call the Rush Scale where the scale goes
Tone - Semi - Semi - Tone - Semi - Semi - Tone
So you get from C
C - D - D# - E - F# - G - Ab - Bb
Why Rush - well (Tone - semi - semi - tone = 2112) ;-)
that's damned interesting...thinking about riffs mathematically. Makes sense. As for the last part. I'm a bit rusty in that department lately too.
root, minor third, fourth, and sixth for what? and what do u mean ON DFGB?
key of C - no capo
We listen for years for words to explain ourselves. "I'm good but not THAT good," was such a moment for me. Good enough to stay in the game but never good enough to win.
Last night I kissed somebody

A little scratch track from a few months ago. A song about the trials and tribulations of being 11 years old. Watching Six Million Dollar Man, dodging bullies and pretending our bicycles were Harleys.
I was at a friends house and saw a little…
I used to put card in my spokes...I preferred to think it was a dirt bike. Def. used to watch the six million dollar man too. And don't forget the bionic woman. I had a crush on her..ahhh...Jamie Somers. The last name fit..when you looked at her, the feeling was like a beautiful summer day.
We used to play war in the woods too.. lol.
Used sticks for guns. Hmm...we even liked our friends sisters barbie dolls. lol. Not dressing them up...but the opp.
ohhh keennnn....oh barbie... lol.
Speaking of barbie...have u seen black hole sun?
In the corner stands a guitar that plays only sad songs
Give me when a friend lost his wife
And this fine leather jacket came in a package
The day after he took his own life
In a bar down in Austin, he was drinkin' and boastin'
This ring…
Well for a start I cocked up in the description ;-) the clean part is basically
0 5 3 0 0 0
Picked on the A,D,G,B strings. Simple motif, and one thats been bugging me for a while. So its basically on D,F,G,B.... I sometimes tend to think mathematically about riffs and occasionally something unusual comes out of it...
Whats that root,minor third, fourth, sixth? My theory knowledge isn't awesome, I'm ashamed to say ;-)
Well, I was up on the ladder cleaning the leaves out of the gutters and this song came to me. What could I do? I climbed down and wrote this song.
YOUR VOICE
