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.
Recorded in 2005.
Joe Silence - vocals and all instruments; tracked by Joe Silence at Spit Recorders.

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!

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?
ER
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…

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.

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.
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

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
Great rockin album Gary! So far this is my fave.
Thanks so much for the comments ER! You guys did great here.
Love the TVZ, bless yer heart.
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!
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...
