hey bud, thanks for sharing yer stuff with the rest of us. Yer oldies are just as great as yer new stuff is. I wish there was a better format on AT so that the oldies don't get buried. A lot of us have some hidden treasures buried away.
A test run with my new Line 6 DL4 delay pedal. Recorded with a handheld mp3 recorder, hence the ambient room noise. The DL4 was fed into a BOSS loop pedal also. No overdubs, all on the fly.
for the 2009 RPM Challenge album "Sabbatical"
Standing at the edge of Canyon de Chelly in Arizona at sunrise last summer I had an out of body experience.
@jarvis & kirklynch - no notches, capo @ 3rd fret over the neck, then 2nd capo @ 5th fret under the neck on bottom 4 strings only, sort of an open Cmaj, standard tuning. The intro is an ebow, which I rarely use on acoustic. thanks yawl
Sloane did me a favor & played an electric guitar part on this one. I had hoped to work with her more on this project, but she wound up leaving town to help take care for a recovering family member.

You asked me where these rumors start.
"I don't know," I said and crossed my heart.
But I told you I did not hope to die.
You said you can't trust no more.
Why start now? You never did before.
Now I just have to pause and wonder…
This is an experiment in stacking real time delay/looped tracks that had no preconceived connections... all overdubs were done without listening to previously recorded tracks. I hear some very interesting synchronizations.... You?

Good version. I've heard so many covers of this, my favorite one is by New Riders of the Purple Sage. An old country classic originally done by Lefty Frizell but written by someone else.
Here's to Johnny!
Gifted composer. Talented musician. Supportive friend.
127 songs of posted AT rockin' goodness, posted from
2008-2011: the Stone Age!
Thanks for all of the tasty tunes Johnny.
5/4 120bpm.
Top Of The Pops circa 1972! Remember when all those bands in the early 70's where adding synth to every song but the lyrics meant something (sometimes)? Pure excitement, pure bubblegum, pure fun. Well, this is my offering and thanks to all of…
Keith Landry used his considerable vocal talents on this song, and he made a decent song sound great. I added one or two harmonies, but the lead vocals are his. I think he did a great job. What do you think?

Wow! You did this album too? Proves your at least as crazy as I am! Very well done, not just synth pads and gobs of reverb, well thought out and arranged ambient compositions!
Finally going to end this RPM with a slop fest.
Pretty disgusted with my efforts. I did have some fun though.
I feel like I just gave birth to a full set of Ludwigs.
High gloss black of course.
For 2011 RPM Challenge album John the Resonator
A Sword and Sorcery parody. With Elvis.
Daughter Brit sang the vocal in the middle part.
Elvis was the mountain king
Who ruled the land of El-Karyaang
His wife Priscilla lady fair

Nice -- I've always loved this song in general, and you did a good job covering it.

DL Fo FoSho!
love it!
whoa, this is very believable Kav.
clever tapping.
beaut! like how it winds up and calms down over and again. despite being very complex, almost jazzy, it is a seamless set.
Interesting.
Nice one mate top job cool sound.
Very nice, Kavin... Damn, such a great sound!
Ooo, I like that sound. Playing's not bad either. Wow! that's mind blowing.
very cool tune and sound!

neat-o!
Different...but why? Just curious,it's a very nice and interesting sound tho',almost got a violin saound going on as well!
Very nice! Must be the idea of having notches cut in the 2nd capo so that some strings pass through?
two capos? need pictures. The track? Inspiring as always.
wild tones.
nice work

This is a seriously good album, raw in places, but all fascinating and experimental. It deserves more listens.
I like this "impressionist" take on this, one of may favorite all time songs.
