A not very cheerful Christmas song I wrote for the RPM Holiday Challenge. Based on the classic Arthur C. Clarke science fiction story "The Star". http://faculty.winthrop.edu/kosterj/engl510/star.htm
Light years out and an eternity back to…
This has several riffs that remind me of one of my favorite guitarists: Robin Trower. I have several of his CD's from the 70's, and you play as well as he did.

After digging this tune up really I really wanted to try it again on acoustic (which I don't play much). This is a second take recorded in…
Solo acoustic finger picking thing I've been working on for a while. Sometime around 1968 I started studying with Mr. George Bennett who taught me the rudiments of finger picking. Later when we played some gigs together he also taught me the rudiments…

Written in 1982 after a trip to Wyoming with a couple of Alex DeGrassi cassettes....
Another experiment. The name comes from the fact that I was in the woods; not because I was really concerned about making woodsy sounds...
Thanks again to glu and Chris McGrath for opening my eyes to some different Live tricks...
A reverse take (recorded live at a gig) of a couple of Pink Floyd covers. The amazing Bill Pohl on 2nd guitar. It came out sounding strangely symphonic.
@ Sister: Due to technical issues I would have to post the entire song file, which would be posting cover tunes, which I don't want to do here...trust me, the reversed, edited versions sound better!
Brief musical sketch, to be transformed into a teary-eyed country weeper.
Instrumentation:
1 Dobro Resonator Guitar, played on both sides of a slide.
[If you give a page a dobro ...]
This track started off with an idea. The idea was an instrument setup such that I could play a single note, or octave and have arps and stuff built it up...
I failed in that experiment by getting carried down the add more effects road and before…
Ambient guitar with generous reverb served up on a bed of glitched up vocal samples.
Boring technical details:
Puremagnetik voxbox micropak came with a bunch of vocal clips. I put them all into live and gave them all follow actions to play…
Two jigs I wrote after returning from Ireland. Sorry for the horrid splice between the two tunes...I'll fix that when I get a chance. Penny whistle, mandolin, acoustic guitar.
Comments on kavin.'s stuff
Wonderful journey! And I love the reversed part - lends such a great touch.
Ahhhhhh yeah.....beauty song
Nicely done Kavin. Brilliant.
Nice tune. He was and still is one of my favorite authors.
Oh this is nice! Love that twang!!
Listening to this again and i think Norm describes it well. its awesome
Awesome track!
Oooh, perfect sound, wonderful.
this is beautiful - I love the slide. Gosh I sound so amateurish compared to you guys (and Kirk, and Bethan, and Tess, and ..... I'm just wow'd .
Very nice playing and singing!
I like your interpretation of this song. Found myself singing along. Well done. ER
This has several riffs that remind me of one of my favorite guitarists: Robin Trower. I have several of his CD's from the 70's, and you play as well as he did. ER
Like this very much. The lyrics are very good, as are the vocals. Nice guitar work, too. ER
Now this iss just beauty. Really great song. I realy like the vocals. Reso sounds like heaven. Top track guys.
I really like this one. ALt tuning always demands a second listen i think, particularly from a guitar standpoint. Really rich a 2:30
I love it too - fabulous performances from everyone!
Sweet song! I can see why it's a favorite of yours
Good one.
like it!
It makes me feel like I'm in the desert.. making my way Home...

Love hearing the two versions back to back, but I favor the acoustic side I think.
So good. Saw Tommy Emmanuel the other night, and he played some great mellow fingerpicking like this, great to hear it!
Guitar wonderment. Proof positive one doesn't have to be fast or flashy to be a guitar wizard. Like the extended length also.
Very good. I get a jungle feel more than forest, because it has a vaguely tribal beat. Check out my tune with the same title.

I'm cryin' already. Inventive little tone poem!
Amen ta that! I hear some Ray Davies in there. Cool!
Short and sweet!
=!&0000))))
Bravo Eno!
Yes! More ebow!
Sonic Mood is a cool program and I like what you did with it!
Love it! Bluegrass with a British accent! Oh that's right, Americans are the ones with the accent.
I DO like it, but then I go for these kinds of guitar oddities. "Talent enhancer"? I want one of those.
Killer! A nice acoustic ride!
Hey Rick! Where you been? These tracks sound great! Drop me a line when you can!
Like the loose feel of this one!
Makes me thirsty for a blackntan!
You got daughter Brit singing this! (cough!)
I love this whole album. Hope you and yer bass are feeling better Rick!
