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.
~Through the night, and darkness, we rush forward to the tops of the universe. What for we're?~
The original version of this song was composed, written and mixed on board of the night train to Berlin, in 2004. Here is an updated version number…
This is a song about finding momentary escape from the pain of loss.. and having it interrupted by the realisation that it's the anniversary of the day it all started;
Some days I get up
and I go to the park
and I sit in the dark
and I think…
This track is from the 1986 Scartaglen album "The Middle Path". The first tune "Jezaig" was composed by Breton musician Gilles Le Bigot. The second tune is one of the "Cantigas de Santa Maria" and is attributed to King Alfonso X of Spain

yeah when I first hear CV's tune I thought some Howlin Wolf or Tom Waits would work well over it, I just don't have the voice for it. Your version takes more of a Dr. John vocal tonality, which I like!
@captgene: I just changed strings with the Elixir Resonator pack, which uses heavier gauge, but busted the G right off the bat, not impressed but pretty good tone on the remaining 5. Some sliders have told me they don't care for the tone of coated strings. I should prob. start a thread in the forum for this..
THE INAPPROPRIATE QUESTION - Capo @ 2 (6) to sing

She said, “I can see that you’re hurting,
And I can see that you are wearing a ring.
Perhaps an inappropriate question,
but I’d like to ask you something.

A test track of sorts.
I typically mix a track, bounce it out to my ipod and then go for a drive. The stereo in my truck is kind of boomy and if I get the bass wrong, I'll hear about it. This has been a matter of a certain amount of guesswork…
My first attempt at a Blumlein or Mid/Side recording. This one is actually a mid/side recording as I used a directional mic in combo with a figure 8 ribbon mic set at 90 degrees from the main mic. Thanks to Pat Broaders for the loan of the ribbon…
Written/Recorded: December 25, 2010
Not really finished, not even sure what it is. I jst felt like playing some loud guitar...

I hope you both…
This little toe tapper is simply a baseline of guitar, bass, and drums, with horns and guitar providing the solos. It was also a song I just couldn't find the right lyrics for. Oh well. Enjoy.

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.
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

thanks for checking out JD, that's a real oldie! But a personal fave I still play live everytime.
Very nice. I'd like to borrow your orchestra!
Simply great! Thanks for sharing.
delightfully idiosyncratic!
This is pure winter morning bliss, Doug. RPM on, bro!
dang your good. Playing guitar and flute at the same time! :)

Good one, JMT.
Just heard this over on the RPM site. Badass harp, slide gtr and song!
I don't know what these chants are or where from, but I'm loving it.
I just realized, at about the one minute mark, you can just hear my bud Charlie tinkling on a toy piano offstage.
Very nice. I see some Ultratouch radiant barrier insulation on the Home Depot site, is that the same stuff? I'd like to use some in my vocal booth.
HNY 2 U C8mE!
great sound and playing, must try that since I have a pair of matched condensers.
excellent, Doug. I played this simultaneously with Shakuhachi's soundcape two for a unique listening experience.
Really love how this has developed!
nice minimal acoustic funky, I like it.
Cool tune! Thanks for your comments buddy.
