She Has It All (Sunshine and Shade)
.................................................
.
.
She has it all.
Her words that count
It’s down to the beauty
I’m drowning in doubt.
There were no questions…
nice.. love the overtone playing back and forth,, reminds me a bit of a fellow i used to know named Michael Hedges,, he has passed now but i think you would have liked his music,, anyhow.. once again nice
It's a city of madness
Where everyone hurries
but no place to go
Head out to the country
And lose the sadness
Where time passes slow
Last night I loved you
With the fires burning
All around
The harvest moon looked
Down in yearning
But…
Borrowed Keith Landry's dynamic acoustic guitar part to help me write the most personal song I've ever written. Recorded last February for the RPM challenge, but didn't feel right putting it up until now.
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…
Sometimes a tune pops up right to left field. This is one of em! I backed it up with a stand-up bass track which I was intending to re-record before RPM submission but ran outta time.

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.
Disturbing. Funny. Inventive. Sometimes all at once.
Great pickin'. Hearing this alternate with chimps8myears is jarring, but in a good way!
