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.

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.
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!
Flinch
I'm guilty
I took the bait again
And here I am again
Always with the same stupid grin
And I didn't go as planned
Few things do I've learned
From the top I pulled it
but I didn't see how far you'd go
didn't I see you flinch…
Well, this may be the final tweaking of this nice little sing along song...
I sent this fun little sing along off to Jim of MTC fame, and once again he has outdone himself... And I can't thank him and his wife (who appears covertly) enough…

I just decided to upload this one again, as a separate version. It's the same record, but i've re-equalized it and doubled the main guitar an octave up.
A different flavor of the same thing. I hope you like and/or enjoy.

This was excellent. One of my many failings is the inability to fingerpick anywhere near as well as this. Well done. ER

Mysterious psych piece, well done!
I like everything about this! Great colab!
thanks. @ vaisvil, no overdubbed the synth later just for a little spice.
Well done my man, glad you "discovered" it.
Hope you feel better, I sure do!
thanks folks, yes mmi I busted the high G on my 12 and need to get some work done on the gtr...
is this what they call post-psych-rock? Whatever it is it's great!
Nice transitions and enjoyed reading about your methods.
Really enjoying this playlist. Like a different musical reality going on here. The vocals are distant in the mix but that may be intentional.
Cool. Nicely done.
Love RB, and this is a nice musical reference.
Nice. Glad your back in action here.
Agree with Kirk. Nice ambient piano and use of space, between the notes.
nice raga-esque, eastern feel to this.
like and enjoy indeed!
nice one. Put in my "surrogate band" playlist!
Congrats, nice piece. Had me fooled on first listen, nice faux guitar tone!
a revival with a Lady Black Smith Mambazo ending!

Thanks to whomever for bringing this to the fore again. Love Doug's stuff.
