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.
El sol azul está por encima, aquí, en el espacio que se llama eterna. El sol azul está por debajo.

The blue sun is above, here,
In the space
That is called timeless.
The blue sun is below

My RPM challenge this year: acoustic guitar instrumental album with no more than three tracks on each tune (ok, maybe four!)
This one is a single track with no overdubs. On the 12 string, the 4th,5th and 6th string pairs are tuned a fourth apart.

Hi Kavin, if your new tuning changed the length between the 5th and 6ths fret for instance then, no you could not accomplish this by changing the tuning of the open strings.
On the other hand you can make a small trip into microtonality by retuning the open strings a quarter flat or sharp relative to each other.
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.

Remastered all the tunes in the Mr. Faraday playlist to a higher dB.
Still figuring out this mastering thang. Sorry for the inconvenience.
Oh, and happy new year everyone!

Very nice.
Awesome.
Very cool tones !! Nice!! Almost middle eastern
Move over Leo , Kavins on to something here. A fountain of sweet new sounds to these ears
Gorgeous sounds man! Love the sound of that tuning. You get some wonderful chord voicings that way
nice playing, the 12 string gives the fingers a work out.
lush and soothing.
hi Kavin, Wondering Aloud is on my list!
Kavin, this is special. The sounds are familiar yet strange. Thats sooo cool ! thanks , my ears are refreashed, Steve
I'm a fan.

Back again
Instant fave! Love! w;-)
Oh my, that's artistic!
@Wildgeas: YAY!
Downloaded - because I wish to cut it in to little loop-able pieces, toss it in to the air and see what happens.

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!
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.
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.
Beauty
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.
