A fingerpicky tune from the old days.
The different guitar voices (nylon string classical and Guild 12-string) were attained using a Line 6 Variax 600 modeling guitar. Great for recording, but I returned it because of some minor issues.
Yeah the Variax even had a cool banjo and sitar model! But I took it back to GC because the harmonics sounded tinny, nothing like an acoustic. A minor quibble, really.

The only music I can play in my living room these days is the odd lot of contemplative classical guitar, as anything else would wake up the family at night... :)

This is a 19 note per octave solo electric guitar improvisation played in classical guitar format recorded in Sonar X1 with Guitar rig and Lexicon reverberation. Makes it hard to classify for what audience would want to listen to it I guess. The…
A friend told me a story of a rich man who bought all the products from a failing hardware store and kept it in his tool shed in the backyard. When my friend was instructed to grab a tool from the tool shed he was taken back by the amount of unopened…
This is just a bit of silly fun I had one day with a four-track cassette recorder...about 9 years ago (yup...another lost find fro the racks). Just blowin' off some steam on a day off in my little apartment of Tokyo. On first listen-back...it…
Just a rough version of a song I plan to record properly during this coming February's RPM Challenge.

Out on the lawn there arose such a clatter!
Sometimes, as they say, Christmas do come early. I found Johnny Stone's "Christmas Rock In Oz" under the tree and couldn't wait until Yuletide to unwrap it. What a rockin' gift! I know a bit about…
An experiment I recorded yesterday with a rig I put together for more or less ambient sounds using two loopers and nearly every effects unit I own. I have no idea who Clark was but he owned the '58 Harmony Stratotone that I used on this cut. His…
My 5-year-old daughter has asked me to make music for her to have playing in her room as she falls asleep. So, I'm working on a new album of ambient and downtempo electronica called "Sleep." Here's a work-in-progress mix of the first track.
Comments on kavin.'s stuff
Very nice. Great tone, too.
Nice....love the slide.
Pardon the French but this is fucking awesome.
OMG Kavin....you just keep blowing me away with your talent!!!! Thank you for bring such wonderful music into my life!
Excellent Playing!
oh man, very nice!
To key88: No overdubs. Thanks!
Ha! Look who's on form! This is great, Kavin.!
Another nice one Kavin- Hadn't heard this one before
Nice sounds - I need one of those things...
Yep. All sounds are guitar. Filtered thru ebow and Line6 DL4 pedal. Thanks Kirk!
Awesome- are all those sounds guitar generated?
woahh, it's like a foggy memory...the kind that reanimates the senses. Nice work!
In some vague way this reminds me of Strange Cargo's Hinterland. Very ghost-y. I dig it.
great tone warm mids rich harmonics really soothing
Found this in random shuffle mode- nice track man!!
Oh WOW....this is EXCELLENT!!!!
This is really nice. Love the guitar work
nice pickin yeah!
Yeah the Variax even had a cool banjo and sitar model! But I took it back to GC because the harmonics sounded tinny, nothing like an acoustic. A minor quibble, really.

Very very nice Mr.O.
Great ecstatic energy!
Pretty minimal. Like Bitches Brew without horns. What a difference from the Doc's show!
I love that tone.
Very very nice.
Wonderful stuff, Dennis. Thanks for posting these tracks here!
Thanks Kirk. One channel is dry miked guitar with SM57, one channel thru the DL4, auto volume swell setting.
I forgot to mention I really like this, repetition and all!
Funky cool. King Crimsonish, in a way.
Right on! Well put.
Cool. Only 1 listen?
So what happened to Johnny? This is the only thing that remains. Did I miss something?
Another hit. These blow me away.
Aahh. Hints of Alison Krause. This top stuff yawl.
Love the acoustic interplay on this!
Dig the minimalism here!
Yeah Kirk, definitely check out DM. One of the best modern westerns I think, and I usually don't like westerns. NY's soundtrack is perfect for it too.
Lucky lucky. Great sweeping tone on this. Got a pick of the entire guitar?
Like the Hendrixian guitar that comes in at 4 min...is that Ken playing?
Woaw yeah, great low end! The ominous intro might induce nightmares tho..
