Hi Kavin, if your new tuning changed the length between the 5th and 6ths fret for instance then, no you could not accomplish this by changing the tuning of the open strings.
On the other hand you can make a small trip into microtonality by retuning the open strings a quarter flat or sharp relative to each other.
acapella vocal loop
In the bleak midwinter
Frosty wind made moan
Earth stood hard as iron
Water turned to stone
Snow had fallen
Snow on snow on snow
In the bleak midwinter
Long, long ago

Yeah,I know it's a long one,that's cause it was part of the "RPM CHALLENGE". The other thing is that February is my birthday month!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME!

To me this track sounds like getting lost in a funhouse of mirrors while a jungle drum duet spurs one ever deeper into the heart of the crazy maze. Eventually, just as the urge to give into the encroaching insanity can no…
RPM 2014
been so long since I’ve been out of the city
maybe even longer than I can remember
tried to leave many times, oh what a pity
there’s no around anymore to take me away
should I be a hermit in a barrel
under the brush creek bridge…
A favorite Bob Dylan song i think it's quite apt today in dear old Blighty as she's starting to sink...i got the local Brass Band in for this one it was a bit of a tight squeeze but we managed to get it done....Hope you enjoy and the words get…
a 13 minute improvisation I played on a newly tuned Steinway grand piano at my Church. The only audience was my Zoom H2 – which is probably good since there are a few glaring “misses” in the performance. I love the joy of just playing but it does…
This lil Hendrix tune has been in my head lately so I decided to take a stab at it. Every time I attempt a cover of one of his songs I discover something new. This time it was his uncanny sense of phrasing and harmony within a blues context. It…
Anyone who knows me realizes I dig electronic music....yet have no idea what I am doing when it comes to creating it! This is just some groovy randomness messing around with new studio equipment.
An EVH-inspired instrumental. I couldn't come up with a fancier name, so Boogie Train it is! This is straight up Hard Rock 80s style. No dabbling in other genres to mess up this song. Heh. Leave some comments if you please. Believe it or not…

Back again
Instant fave! Love! w;-)
Oh my, that's artistic!
@Wildgeas: YAY!
Downloaded - because I wish to cut it in to little loop-able pieces, toss it in to the air and see what happens.
A very sweet rambling acoustic improvisation!
Very nice man, little hints and ideas floating all over in this one. I also enjoyed the harmonic slaps in this and the lead runs back and forth p
Acoustic and rambling.....nice improv J
ah, nice! Makes me want to try an acoustic release this year!
pretty chords, great tone & harmonics!
Nice! I really enjoyed the section with the slapped harmonics about 3 or 4 minutes in
Sweet Guitar tone, nice moves
i quite agree...haven't heard it in a while though.....great stuff
Damn! This is great! I somehow missed this one
Pretty Neat Kavster!
FNG! Texas Magic.
Neat track! Thanks for sharing this special memory!
Thanks, all. A memory blast for me finding this. The store is closed now, of course.
Hate to say it, but I'm old enough to remember that morning.

My Bday month too! Congrats and a great RPM effort!
Deelightful!
Liking the acoustic direction on this album. THe drums sound great, too.
Great version and backing. Hope you're high and dry.
Well this is just fookin' fantastic!
The best "Ice"..been listening to some of Fred Frith's soundtrack music and this would fit right in!
Uh..wow
Dig that dub!
Great sounds your doing here.
Free flowing musical expression and lots of ideas here, like a deconstructed Let It Be in places.
A favorite Hendrix tune of mine, good versh.
Nice combo. Those Ov 12's seem to be making a resurgence. I almost bought one a few months ago but the owner and I couldn't agree on a price.
Cool. And love the title!
Really nice work. Welcome to alonetone!
I like this alot, but you should at least credit that you sampled a Jefferson Airplane song.
Cool. I'll be following along. I kind of do the same thing every week over at Sound-In.
Great driving sound on this track.. but seems unfinished? Or maybe you were just going for the minimalist, which is good.
Get Down!
That's pretty cool.
Pretty great, but is this legal?
