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.

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.

Ever since i heard Cave Street's Creator Protector Destroyer (from their 2010 RPM album) run from that song back into the opening didj of Onion Bell (the first track) i wanted to put the lyrics to that pulsing energy, and today i had time to give…
I was collecting 4th of July samples and recorded a jewel. By chance, I recorded my 4 year old girl, and you can hear her thought process...wondering how the fireworks were so high in the air - perhaps the fireworks were dropping from the sky…
This song was inspired by the heavy rains of the past two days, and my wife and I biding our time waiting for them to subside a bit so we could leave the house. The guitar is my old Alvarez classical with a microphone, then run through my RP350…
We all live on one planet, and on this planet we ARE the indigenous peoples. The rest is just intellectual self petting if you know what I mean. When I'm feeling frustrated with the human race, I return to the roots. I read once in a novel on…

I came up with the initial rhythmic riff on my bass, then looped it to create the basis for this track. Then, I layered another "lead" bass track on top of that, added some percussion, and finally topped it off with an electric piano-ish sound…
One of a series of songs based on stories written as random memories by a character born around 1870 and his escape from poverty and hardship.
This song is from the time he left his roots to seek out a better future, but at this period this…
We all know someone like this. Sometimes I'm like this. Anyway, recorded using my Epiphone semi-hollowbody. I love the gtr sound on this one. Again, it's older, so the sonic quality isn't anywhere near what I do now.
If the synth intro doesn't do anything for you, just wait about two minutes for the main part of the song to start.

A typical folk song.
Written and recorded in about an hour for the 24 hour album (attempted on March 13th). Excuse roughness and vocal glitches, it was 2am and this was my first full take.
Thanks to montgomeru for his chord suggestions…
Matter Of Fate- This song started as a riff I was doing while tuning my guitar. It sounded cool, so I happened to record it on a small dictation recorder I have so I wouldn’t forget it. When I listened to the riff it just screamed Sticky Fingers…
An ambient anthemic piece.
The process:
- Start with a live take of me playing an iphone app called tonepad.
- add camelphat and camelspace
- add an Alchemy instance, find a big fat pad, work out a riff
- record a single take accompanying the…

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!

Nice one! I like the 12 string sound. May have to check out the Line 6 jobs myself
great and a sweet haunting, i can imagine it with an electric sitar!!
reminds me of the summer and i can imagine it at some cider festival!1
mystic and evokes a hot suummer to me.
Oh, Oh, Oh, ... EXCELLENT!
Kavin...this is BRILLIANT!!!!
Thanks CE. A little delay and metal slide on the low strings. The "whale song" is reversed in the middle of the song.
This is great. I have been trying to figure out how to do this. So how (pray tell) do you get Humpback to sing guitar?
Phenomenal! Gorgeous!
You've gotta love a new toy! This makes me miss my headrush pedal.... :-( Great atmosphere you've created here.

Just listened to both versions back to back, different treatments of the same theme. Great!
This is very cool. Well done!
Excellente! What a menagerie of sound!
Very nice indeed. May take you up on that offer.
The creative impulse animates whatever instrument is placed at its disposal.
Voices..from the Dreamtime?
Very cool. Like this lots.
The length for this showed 1:53 but it went on for 3 minutes! Not complaining, just wondering how you can manipulate the fourth dimension like that?
The ghost of Leonard Cohen? Oh he's still around.
faster faster! And the backwards guitar keeps up.
The blues lilt in your voice and tapping the strings is something new.
Like this 'un. Very Tragically Hip if you don't mind the comparison.
@kirklynch CGDGBD I think....could be wrong but that's close. Need to revisit it and learn it!
Lulls you with the rain sample and ambient gtr then hits you over the head with that killer take no prisoners riff!
@ GFox, ER, et al Aw shux, thanks.
Wow. It's been too long. Great song.
Very cool! Yes, Stones-ish but "happier" than most of their stuff. Nice slide part too.
Yay! Let's hear it for apps. Like this a lot.
Good jammin'!
Pretty darn cool.
