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!
This track was created as part of the October 2010 Alonetone 24 hr challenge. The challenge is to make 24 minutes of original music in one 24 hour period.

So Jim of "Movement to Contact" asked me a couple of weeks ago to send him something...
I had no idea how ridiculously good the final result would come out.
KL: Vocals, lyrics, left side rhythm guitar and picking
MTC: Lead guitar, bass…

Stealin' Pumpkins off the vine...
Such good fun I do it all the time.
Single Gon Bops conga track miced for heavy bass. And 2 tracks of cow bell, of course.
4/4 200bpm
Had these backing tracks laying around on my drive for a while and didn't know what to do with them, so grabbed my Ebow and a fretless electric that I built for myself a couple years ago and had a go. My fretless playing is really in its infancy…
You look out the window and the creek is swelling. Slowly crossing the lawn and heading up the driveway.... Time to get the lawnmower to higher ground.

I swore that I would NEVER upload this. Was having a bad day trying to loop "nice" acoustic guitar sounds and got frustrated so grabbed my Taylor and plugged it into a cheesy Effects box and straight into the looper. Started twiddling knobs and…
There is nothing like the presence of a horse. The quiet understanding. The gentle strength.
Woodlake, California...1961. I had a horse. She was my friend.
There were times in my teens when Babe was the only being that did not judge me…

Well done. I'm all for free speech, but I question motives of those who want to burn books, flags, etc. for any "cause". I think the burner's seek attention for themselves more often than not.
@jarvis & kirklynch - no notches, capo @ 3rd fret over the neck, then 2nd capo @ 5th fret under the neck on bottom 4 strings only, sort of an open Cmaj, standard tuning. The intro is an ebow, which I rarely use on acoustic. thanks yawl

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

Some dark, experimental stuff on this album. Digging it.
Always a big compliment to get a smiley from Mac! :)
..and MTC Jim!
very nice Keith. Where exactly was that playlist pic taken?
you are a rhythm machine man! I'll be stealing this 'un for sure!
saweeet...sounds like slide but it's fretless! Did you break out the DL4 for this?
Hope your heads above water my friend, great tune!
Never say never! A well executed loop piece. C'mon Bethan, give it another try!
nice Krautrock sound to this. powerful.
some of by best perfs have been in guitar centers, playing with the really expensive strings I can't afford.
Great one Jim. Love the narrative approach there.
thanks. Son Eric on bass, friend Phil on Edrums. I just served as producer on this 'un.
nicely chilled!
welcome to alonetone Jukka! Glad you're hear.
I never would have imagined this "odd couple" together but the gating was an ingenious idea!
Nice use of silence and note formation. Great!
When I was a lad we used to melt crayons to make multi-colored candles (it was the 60's), seems to me more constructive than outright burning crayons.

Nice mellow jam with thunderstorm, very good.
