D minor, my fav key, and my guitar was in my lap anyway, so I hope you didn't mind me picking this with ya... Sweet licks. Great tone control. Rock on!
Song #2 for the RPMC. My goal is to have 12 short tunes (1-3 minutes long), so I need to pick up the pace.
Again, quartal tuning on the top 3 unison pairs of the 12 string. I've been listening to Ralph Towner's Blue Sun, hence the title.
Had the blues in Alabama
Had the blues in Texas too
Had the blues all over
Now I 'm givin' em to you
And if you don't want em
You know what you can do
You wont find me I'm goin' ta run and hide away from you
Because I see trouble
Trouble…
love the sound - you should try to get a convolution reverb sample of this space. I'm not quite sure how to do that but the info has to be on the net somewhere.
Noodling with the "art guitar" in DADGAD tuning in the Serra sculpture Vortex at the FW MOMA. No fx added, all natural reverb/delay inside the structure.
you are like the rain that falls with the snow
or is it the other way around
i dont know
all i know is i love you
and cant get above you
it is driving with no place to go
the muscle and the bone i find
that keeps my heart in line

Well I been playing the blues for so long
Kinda feel like playing jazz x 2
I dig the random instrumentation.
Play this in eight over three and a half
I been playing the blues for so long, make me feel like tryna rap x 2
I think I'll call…
Growing up is hard.
For everyone.
I once had a Facebook Friend named Shannon Elizabeth Hardwick. A poet, from Midland, Texas, doing advanced studies at Sarah Lawrence. She was so good she could write a hundred pages about how she couldn…
Features Gary Essex on slide guitar and is but an instrumental of the full song that is Blues Blues - please check it out and love it as though it were your own...
Please note that this particular version is dedicated to the wonderfully talented…
Very, very raw demo for our 09 RPM disc. Drums are a click track & unmixed; needs one more guitar track, eq, channel compression, an honest-to-god mix, etc...

Excellent! Like the additions you made since the first demo. Great album dude!
Yes. This is the favorite. Great album man!
the river is now in my best of RPM09 itunes playlist! Incredible.
This is crazy good. I want to describe it as "angular melody". Does that make sense?
This, and Setting Sun, are favorites from yer album. Neat effect on that guitar.
Really like these solo guitar/voice tunes. It's hard to make that style compelling, but with your songwriting, you pulled it off!
Great songs. Great harmonies. Kind of Beach Boys meets Roger Waters.
I think this is my fave from your album. But then I'm a sucker for a good blues tune.
This one, and Feelings, are my favorites, good job Rick.
That's really great. Love the chord choices, harmonica, vocal, well..everything!
These lovely guitar soundscapes just keep coming. Great RPM album!
To key88: No overdubs. Thanks!
I'm diggin' these instrumentals!
Good work, JMT. Thank you.
I really like this instrumental version alot!
That's trippy cool.
Good to see you here! THanks for sharing the album. After the RPM dust settles I may have to spring for the hard copy.
Excellent. Glad you got yer platform up!
I'm really diggin these fingerstyle pieces.
Lovely vocal treatment. Just a tad long.
