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.

A rambling acoustic improvisation. Recorded the day that the Curiosity rover was launched to Mars, hence the title.

A live one from the vault.

acapella vocal loop In the bleak midwinter Frosty wind made moan Earth stood hard as iron Water turned to stone Snow had fallen Snow on snow on snow In the bleak midwinter Long, long ago - Christina Rossetti 1872

A memory.

Rough draft Gustav Holst's In the Bleak Midwinter. Debating whether to ruin this with a vocal part or not.

A tail-end edit from the Halloween Mega-track. Jeff Duke provided the ambient guitarscapes.

Something different for me, a piano improv. Right hand only. One track each of delayed piano and strings recorded independently then combined.

Back to basics here. recorded with the Yeti mic. Ramblin' round your city,ramblin' round your town I never see a friend I know As I go ramblin' round boys As I go ramblin' round My sweetheart and my parents I left in my old hometown…

improv on National Resonator.

Another 12 string improv. Capo 3rd fret, capo 5th fret except for top string and notched out for the b strings to attain an open C tuning, of sorts.

Got the 12 string out of the shop today where it got a refret and much needed refurb. An improv to test it out. Recorded on the handheld R08.

I thought I had put this up here, but can't find it now, this is the jazz guitar jam version. For you Sister S!

Acoustic improv. Top 3 pairs of strings tuned a 4th apart on 11 string guitar. And a touch of synth.
