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.
This song was inspired by a long walk....
Lyrics:
Down by the river, down by the shore we go
The moon above cast a beautiful glow
We walked around talking through the night
I can’t help but think how it felt right
Hey Constance, don’t you feel…
Cool. I might be tempted to try this. Maybe a stupid question here but couldn't you accomplish the same thing just tuning all the strings a semitone flat (or sharp)?
This is a live cut from an NPR radio broadcast back in 1988 while my Irish Trad group Scartaglen was on one of its first east coast tours. Found recently on a cassette tape. Musically this was one of my favorite periods in the history of the band…
This is a remix of an improvised track I did for our first RPM album. For this new mix, I got rid of the vocals & added a most excellent electric guitar part by our good friend, Chris Mitchell. He listened to the track just once and proceeded…

The only music I can play in my living room these days is the odd lot of contemplative classical guitar, as anything else would wake up the family at night... :)

This is a 19 note per octave solo electric guitar improvisation played in classical guitar format recorded in Sonar X1 with Guitar rig and Lexicon reverberation. Makes it hard to classify for what audience would want to listen to it I guess. The…
A friend told me a story of a rich man who bought all the products from a failing hardware store and kept it in his tool shed in the backyard. When my friend was instructed to grab a tool from the tool shed he was taken back by the amount of unopened…
This is just a bit of silly fun I had one day with a four-track cassette recorder...about 9 years ago (yup...another lost find fro the racks). Just blowin' off some steam on a day off in my little apartment of Tokyo. On first listen-back...it…
Just a rough version of a song I plan to record properly during this coming February's RPM Challenge.

Comments on kavin.'s stuff
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.

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.
A very sweet rambling acoustic improvisation!
Very nice man, little hints and ideas floating all over in this one. I also enjoyed the harmonic slaps in this and the lead runs back and forth p
Acoustic and rambling.....nice improv J
ah, nice! Makes me want to try an acoustic release this year!
pretty chords, great tone & harmonics!
Nice! I really enjoyed the section with the slapped harmonics about 3 or 4 minutes in

Great song and delivery. I could imagine Van the Man doing this one.
Unplanned jam, the best kind!

Rocks! Happy Birthday Jimmy Page!
Do it Jeff! (the acoustic release)
Great stuff, I bet that was fun. About the time I started getting into the "new" Celtic stuff.
Cool. I missed this, thanks Djork.
TD indeed! I wish they still sounded like this.
Thanks, all. A memory blast for me finding this. The store is closed now, of course.
Very very nice Mr.O.
Great ecstatic energy!
Pretty minimal. Like Bitches Brew without horns. What a difference from the Doc's show!
I love that tone.
Very very nice.
Wonderful stuff, Dennis. Thanks for posting these tracks here!
Thanks Kirk. One channel is dry miked guitar with SM57, one channel thru the DL4, auto volume swell setting.
I forgot to mention I really like this, repetition and all!
Funky cool. King Crimsonish, in a way.
Right on! Well put.
Cool. Only 1 listen?
