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.

#4 for the RPM Challenge.
Have you heard this melody before? This is one of those where I wonder if I've unconsciously "borrowed" something from someone. Translation: the Fly Boat, like the tourist boats that ply the river Seine and their bright…
Ditty #10 for RPMC. I really had a hard time trying to come up with the final track, so I fell back on the old loop/delay/ebow improv formula, which I had hoped to avoid on this album. Kind of acoustic Breaking Light. Well it crossed the finish…

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.

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.

It's a part of a documentary 15min. movie, I recently produced. The title of the movie is "Parvomaistora" - "The Grand Master".
Finally, I could produce the film about my father, who was a great inventor and blacksmith master - Ilia Kovachev…
What happened after too much time on youtube watching live vids of "voodoo chile" Noisy obnoxious and very cathartic for me! Live to 2tracks with the Jamman
A fingerpicky tune from the old days.
The different guitar voices (nylon string classical and Guild 12-string) were attained using a Line 6 Variax 600 modeling guitar. Great for recording, but I returned it because of some minor issues.
Yeah the Variax even had a cool banjo and sitar model! But I took it back to GC because the harmonics sounded tinny, nothing like an acoustic. A minor quibble, really.
Straight ahead stone city electric blues for an old friend who used to spend hours spinning BB King and Mike Bloomfield records for me. Recorded back sometime at the end of 2006 on old analog equipment
Solo acoustic guitar recorded January 2nd 2009. Hope to do a longer more developed version at some point ,but for now just a short version to learn more about using new DAW software.
this is a song by my niece Clara. She's 4. the lalalala's are Noah's (6) contribution.
Recorded Christmas day 2008.
Happy New Year all alonetoners!
glad to be here.

Still figuring out this mastering thang. Sorry for the inconvenience.
Oh, and happy new year everyone!

Nice use of delay!
Niiiice. I had to listen thru headphones, which I don't normally do.
I really like this. DL'd AND faved, which is rare for me to do. This has great atmosphere and some nice subtle psychedelia.
Nice. Sounds like the Earth breathing. Fuzz hit it right on the head.
I enjoyed these jams! Rock on Kirk!

That's a cool audio experiment! Ending is a bit abrupt.
Thanks CE. A little delay and metal slide on the low strings. The "whale song" is reversed in the middle of the song.
Bon voyagee!
Some soulful playing there.

Dang, that's hot! Great chops!
This is perfect. The vocal, the guitar. And the fret noise is integral. And the minimal lyrics say so much.
Love this simple, traditional sound!
Can't wait to hear the long version!
heheheheh! Love it.
Thanks for including tunings in yer comments. I'll try some of these.
This is great. Love the layering of the guitars.

Excellent! More of that please.
