I *think* I like this one more(?)
Feels a bit like more of a "guitarists" version? I was much more aware of "hey cool guitar" than one the other one.
I think it's one where you can do unlimited versions, and they're all as good as each as other and you won't be able to decide! LOL
I am currently working on a Concept album with a good friend of mine and great musician/ guitarist Chuck D. Although this track does not feature Chuck , it was developed based on the chord progression he came up with which opens the song up. We…

I threw this one together tonite/early am...yawnnnnn. Not an exact replica but always a tribute to Jimi's music. I was originally turned on to do this by some new free vst effects I found on the net. A cool fuzz face vst that is very realistic…
Having more fun with Hendrix. I tried to stay true to the original as far as using no overdubs. Just one guitar, bass, drum and vocal track. Kind of used a mix approach and used a bit from the record and a bit from his live performance in Winterland…
My first thought, honestly, was, oh boy, someone's messing with Jimi again . . . then I pressed play. This one is done with reverence, my friends. Excellent cover. Dig.

Such clean acoustic guitar sound. Like the way it grows/builds...how the sound of the voice fills out. Cool voice and song. Starts to sound like the Beatles at the end.

sittin in a pile of snow
come on down its gettin cold
for the time is getting old
well we made our way to the old wigwam
frozen lake and wind was calm
standing bow did strike a deer
to feed the tribe…
I can't say just what it is I like about this but I do like it. Sophisticated yet primitive, world music sounds... I don't remember hearing anything quite like it.
This is one of the things I was fiddling with when I sang Me and Bobby McGee as a distraction last week.
I'm working on finding out how to get acoustic stuff down consistently and effectively within the confines of what I've got here - I wasn…
lots of different things I tried in this one, mostly in structure and vox, as well as harmony and texture. I guess it is a progressive type song with some gloom.
the intro is a short bass thing with effects called nectar, its like 25 sec.s…

Together we strive
United, we divide
the night fire we've made

We gain what we earn
earn what we can take
family, we all share
In this world to create
Revolution is Coming

we've come full circle again
can you feel the waves of sin
my friends
we've come full circle again
do you feel the pain, like me?
driven from rivers of blood

Greg let me have another go at one of his songs and I the wrote the words and music for a bridge
so that way he has to pay me some royalties when he sells a million !!! lol thanks Greg for your inspiration and great music!!
A little banjo-centric parody of the old Irving Berlin song, written after more than a week in -20 C. temps in northwest Russia. Brrr. And Merry Christmas.
Just in time for the big 2012 election!
*** BANJO WARNING ***
Just me and me banjo.
Inspired by a story my journalist daughter in Moscow just published. She was too small when we moved to Russia to remember that politicians shaking hands…
A little tune to help me get through the winter ... used my 63 Fender Jazzmaster for the guitar tracks. This guitar has been with me through thick and thin and just gets better with age.

Wake up in the morning, I’m still in my cloths
I got one eye open but the other wont go
Barely can remember the night before
Except for how you threw me out the door
Whiskey, Whiskey, Whiskey
I think I’m in trouble again…

Powerful You have some great sounding guitar licks here.
Digg'n the guitar fx.

Oh yeah, this is a goodie. Love the sound. And that guitar playing with the old whammy - very tasty.
Wow the high register guitar tone is distinctive and super expressive. the back beat chord strokes are too cool. Faved
Instant fave! Absolutely gorgeous! A must share on our FB page! w;-)
Another good'n. Has some very beautiful and unusual chord changes in there. Takes me to some faraway windswept island.
very pretty and uplifting, hadn't heard this one yet.
Ya had me with the first lick. Nice. I love this song and this is a great cover of it. :)

Nice. :). Do I hear a KORG in there? T-series or M-series maybe?
*click* instant fave! Love the groove! w;-)
Nice voice AND MELODY.

Really nice! Keep on!
Awesome.
Big Sound I hope we get a chance to hear the whole album.
Sounds great,nice one!
There's nothing better than getting your voice back! Great track :)

Imagining passing thru a nebula. Very cool.
Cool madness.
Beauty in a greyish, blurry sort of way. :)
Love the upfront guitar and how u harmonized that vocal.part.
Apllause......beautiful command. I could here your voice in film music. Great once again AR.
Epic journey goin on. Well done.
Surreal vision here. Very fitting.
Dig the message. It where we are at.
Simply Incredible. Blown away.
Love that spring reverb. Right on the money with the mid 60's rock sound. Killer.
Solid. Keepin it alive.
Wondering how you came up with that melody.
This is epic...must have missed this one. Futuristic and ominous.
A picker extraordinaire.
This is solid. Your voice is perfect for this style. Clever writing to boot.
Classy. Love the chimey tones. The horn section at the end adds a nice vintage sound. Really warm feel overall that fits the theme Winter.
Some nice songwriting. The way country music was supposed to be.
Unique and distinct style you guys have.
Cool tune.
Taking guitar to a whole different level. Love how that percussive finger tapping morphed into almost a tabla sound against those swells.
