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!
Recorded in 2005.
Joe Silence - vocals and all instruments; tracked by Joe Silence at Spit Recorders.
Mixed by Joe Griffin of Toxic Bag Productions.
The guitar solo is not actually a guitar.
Kazoo solo? Cool. i couldnt publish my Pink Floyd covers playlist to the front page for some reason, but here it is:

Good version. I've heard so many covers of this, my favorite one is by New Riders of the Purple Sage. An old country classic originally done by Lefty Frizell but written by someone else.
Here's to Johnny!
Gifted composer. Talented musician. Supportive friend.
127 songs of posted AT rockin' goodness, posted from
2008-2011: the Stone Age!
Thanks for all of the tasty tunes Johnny.
5/4 120bpm.
Top Of The Pops circa 1972! Remember when all those bands in the early 70's where adding synth to every song but the lyrics meant something (sometimes)? Pure excitement, pure bubblegum, pure fun. Well, this is my offering and thanks to all of…
Keith Landry used his considerable vocal talents on this song, and he made a decent song sound great. I added one or two harmonies, but the lead vocals are his. I think he did a great job. What do you think?

Wow! You did this album too? Proves your at least as crazy as I am! Very well done, not just synth pads and gobs of reverb, well thought out and arranged ambient compositions!
Finally going to end this RPM with a slop fest.
Pretty disgusted with my efforts. I did have some fun though.
I feel like I just gave birth to a full set of Ludwigs.
High gloss black of course.
For 2011 RPM Challenge album John the Resonator
A Sword and Sorcery parody. With Elvis.
Daughter Brit sang the vocal in the middle part.
Elvis was the mountain king
Who ruled the land of El-Karyaang
His wife Priscilla lady fair

Acoustic tale recorded Christmas 2010.
I wrote it years ago. Even tried rehearsing it with the band I was in at the time. But I couldn't play it properly. It took several weeks of practicing DADGAD (never really used it in anger before) until…
Title song from this years RPM Challenge.
Lyrics:
Shot dead
is what I felt when I first looked into your eyes
Shot dead
Is what I became, I tell you that ain't no lie
My head
it just exploded when I saw that way that you dance
Off…

This is a seriously good album, raw in places, but all fascinating and experimental. It deserves more listens.
I like this "impressionist" take on this, one of may favorite all time songs.

Wonderful album, Raven. I love this dark ambient stuff. Thanks!
Great beats as always Norm. You can bet I'll be using this. Has anyone done a "Stone Age" playlist yet with all these tributes? hmmm

crunchy good!
very cool instrumental, this and shot dead my favorite so far.
thanks Sis. Daughter Brit did the vocal in the middle!
been smokin James Brown? Good luck with that drug/alcohol thing.
Trying to wrap my head (ears?) around the slightly overdriven mono(?) mix you use, but the melodies are always so strong!
A new version with a REAL female vocal.
Wonderful album, you deserve some kind of medal, considering the circumstances.
Great song and acoustic gtr sound! Your voice is so expressive too.
Oops commenting previously and forgot to sign in, enjoying the album.
Chilling. If looks could kill...
