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!
Caveat emptor: I did absolutely none of the drumming in this piece.
ANOTHER WORLD PREMIER! FIRST RECORDING OF THIS PATTERN - EVER!
My friend Kokou "Alex" Yemey delighted me with another visit this evening. He played "Aju" - all 5 tracks…
Very raw, completely improved piece. One track, one take.
Guitar -> GT-10 -> JamMan Stereo
A touch of Discord 3 was added as a send effect. Limiting on the master track. Et voila.
Sorry about the clipping.
Recommended listening…
Although I think I like this version the best, a longer break in the middle (at 2:40 there is a short one) with some ambient shalalas would be cool, just to break it up a bit. Just my op., the song and production are great as is.
Part IV of a fully improvised ep. Available for purchase at bandcamp.

By buying you will also get a $5 discount on the price of the LP I am working on once it comes out.
I have issues at my house, sometimes they manifest themselves in my tracks. In this case, the bassoon and oboe represent the mouse. The guitar is the peanut-butter.
Finally, the finishing touches seem to be put on this three-year-old song thanks to some very talented people.
The band is:
Liam (age 13 at the time of recording) on drums
A Girl Named Sam (she's no kid!) with the backing vocals
Genevieve…
Sank a solid 17.5 hours into this one, so there won't be a complete album out of this 24 hour day.
Had the structure floating around for a year; this is my first stab at it. There are definitely huge revisions in store.
It seems a lot of you record with open mics and can relate. I record 1 track at a time with usually 4 or 5 tracks. So, Im only asking for about 15 minutes of Silence...IS THIS TOO MUCH TO ASK??? Anyway, my house is so loud, I get a lot of bloopers…

Don't know how I missed this the first time around. Badass slidin'!
thanks Rhonie! You may want to look up the original John Fahey version, too.
Reminiscent of Neil Young's Dead Man soundtrack. Keep up the great sounds Max.
the praise genre is not really my cup o tea, but your voice is heavenly :)
Great groove.
Nicely done! Hope you got that little booger.
I love the feel and energy of this kind of music. Makes me wish I knew more Spanish.
Great song, great duet. I just got back from there and this sure hit the spot!
Pretty good as is! Like all the tuned percussion/organ interplay.
kickass cover!!! Doors Rock!
Appropriately, a blues song, I can relate.
