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.
I thought it would be fitting to post this today, on Memorial Day, as a tribute to my friend William Easley, as well as all who have fought and died in wars, American or otherwise.
Sometime back in the 60's William (Billy from here on) heard…
Hey, cool! I do a version of this but I am afraid to record slide guitar. George did it so clean and smooth. I may record it one day and give you a heads up. My takes is a little different but the same too.
Maybe I missed a career scoring for no budget spaghetti westerns, because this is what this reminds me of. Done live a couple weeks ago with the Taylor and a floor full of toys and loopers.

When I was a music major one of my friends had a family which ran a funeral home - a well paid profession seeing that they had several cars, maids and butlers - and spent a few nights there. (We tended to stay up to the early am debating…
I was thumbing a ride along a hot, deserted Caribbean road. When Steve pulled up in this vintage pre-war Chevy, I was very grateful. It just so happened he was heading to the same cantina I was, so we kicked back with a pitcher of mojitos…
Last demo for Magic Mike today ... LOL
This is actually a song written by Mike, and I have offered a bit of a twist to it.
Looking for some criticism

All first take improvisations. 8 tracks of madness for your enjoyment. Ear goggles will put you inside this piece. Not recommended for the faint of heart!
Recorded between 9AM - 7PM on the 26th of February.
Featuring Mark Hubbard & Duma, on didj & percussion respectively, this one begins as the most traditionally structured piece on the album. But don't get used to it, it doesn't last long... just enough to ease you into the formlessness…
Naively conceived, written and published in February 2012 for "Contemporary Chamber Music" (vol.1), an RPM12 album.
The titles of the pieces in album are follow each other in a certain order - see album description.

Like listening to some STCFTHOTS-PF stuff. Damn, master guitar work here.
This comes together pretty good...the guitar stands out beautifully.
Ooooh! Nice, sweet, interesting, tasty! Groovy -- Rock on!
Does have a real 60's jazz club sound. A good thing that is. .
Now isn't that some gorgeous picking?!
Superb
Excellent. Great execution on the guitars, great delivery with the vocals. Beautiful, moving, touching, tasteful. Fabulous.
Skillful, meditative, gorgeous, sweet, sad, moving, dreamy, tasteful, delightful.
Has a Beatnik sound I thought was lost and forgotten early on in the '60s -- very cool mixture of sounds. Rock on, y'all!
I was expecting some wild fuzz guitar and when I heard that acoustic I fell over… in delight. Well done. Your voice is suited to this song I think.
Hey, cool! I do a version of this but I am afraid to record slide guitar. George did it so clean and smooth. I may record it one day and give you a heads up. My takes is a little different but the same too.
Came by for another drop of this psychedelic number, done with some fine ass acoustic picking -- crazy good! Rock on!
You got a damn good handle on that slide, Kavin! Great job. Smooth vocals!
Very unique . . . and beautiful, almost tranquil.
Kavin, you amaze me! w;-)
Trippy, far out, and groovy -- Rock on!
You've got a great handle on that guitar!
Very cool!

Have you been listening to Miles' Kind of Blue? I like this.
Very cool, Kirk. More of that!
Thanks Richard, I'd like to hear your Jesu variation too!
One of the most interesting things I've heard here in a while. Like how it starts out slow and whips into a frenzy.
Nice spooky texture. I interviewed for a job at a funeral home once but opted for the hospital across the street.
Hah! Toldja!
Been browsing the (many!) tracks on your album and like this one. I love my Synthstation/iPhone/iPod/music apps!
Yaya! Chapman stick on alonetone! And so well played too.
Nice stuff! Trey Gunn comes to mind.
The guitar drifts away as if in a dream the ship sails into a sunset.
You brought the drone!
Ditch era Neil, even down to the sometimes off key guitar solo. Like much!
Great album. Very cohesive, good performances and production. I'll be returning to often I'm sure.
Great album and esp. like the pedal steel on this one!
Very Tao te Ching Michael,in surrendering you win the struggle.
8 minutes in and digging this musical stream of consciousness! Glad you persevered!
You played all instruments? Dang.
Delay my world. I bet that was fun.
Wonderful album Igor. I love nylon string classical guitar ;)
Sweet song and album Keith, beauty in simplicity!
