The theme for Improv Friday this week is "variations". So here's an improv reconstruction of the one classical piece I know, Bach's Jesu, Joy of Man's Desiring.
A friend of mine once called this kind of jam session "noodling", as in "straight from your noodle (pointing to his head) to the guitar". This is a primo "noodling" session.

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.

Ditty #9 for the RPMC album "Bones".
I'd had this rolling around in my head for about a year now, and even played it live with the SD&Q trio. Didn't quite turn out as planned, which is not unusual.

really not much synth, all experiments with effects over guitars and then stretched or feedback recording problems that turned into dial tone like drone sounds. Awesome either way you brought it, dude!
a 13 minute improvisation I played on a newly tuned Steinway grand piano at my Church. The only audience was my Zoom H2 – which is probably good since there are a few glaring “misses” in the performance. I love the joy of just playing but it does…
This lil Hendrix tune has been in my head lately so I decided to take a stab at it. Every time I attempt a cover of one of his songs I discover something new. This time it was his uncanny sense of phrasing and harmony within a blues context. It…
Anyone who knows me realizes I dig electronic music....yet have no idea what I am doing when it comes to creating it! This is just some groovy randomness messing around with new studio equipment.
An EVH-inspired instrumental. I couldn't come up with a fancier name, so Boogie Train it is! This is straight up Hard Rock 80s style. No dabbling in other genres to mess up this song. Heh. Leave some comments if you please. Believe it or not…
This is a Phil Keaggy tune. I swiped his original loop and then built my own thing on top of it. Might have been longer, but my volume swell effect keeps slipping out of sync with everything else. May work on it more at a later date
Got a guitar for my birthday... I have been trying to learn how to play it. This is a cover of an old Smiths song I tried to tackle for Lesson 10 "Finger Picking."
12.10.2013: rerecorded at slightly faster tempo; added small amount of distortion…
Little improv from an album I'm working on. Single track w/electric zither, electro harmonix memory toy, tc electronic corona chorus, Live 6LE w/chordal effect on track.
Excellent performance by Gene on programmed drums, rhythm guitar and bass, with Farrell on lead guitar. I'm on vocals. Hope you enjoy us on this old Zep Classic................
This just an exercise from a Coursera guitar course I took a few months ago. Some other people liked this track on Soundcloud so I thought I'd upload it here.
Comments on kavin.'s stuff
Absolutely wonderful! w;-)
~love~ w;-)
I will never get tired of listening to the master play. Ever. w;-)
Absolutely beautiful! w;-)
Nice one mate
This was excellent. One of my many failings is the inability to fingerpick anywhere near as well as this. Well done. ER

Comments made by kavin.
Free flowing musical expression and lots of ideas here, like a deconstructed Let It Be in places.
A favorite Hendrix tune of mine, good versh.
Nice combo. Those Ov 12's seem to be making a resurgence. I almost bought one a few months ago but the owner and I couldn't agree on a price.
Cool. And love the title!
Really nice work. Welcome to alonetone!
I like this alot, but you should at least credit that you sampled a Jefferson Airplane song.
Cool. I'll be following along. I kind of do the same thing every week over at Sound-In.
Great driving sound on this track.. but seems unfinished? Or maybe you were just going for the minimalist, which is good.
Get Down!
That's pretty cool.
Pretty great, but is this legal?
Neat project and awesome sounds!

Lovely, pure acoustic sound. Holy. Wow.
Excellent, very well done.
