A moody solo acoustic thing that I came up with playing in a long forgotten tuning. Just got a new Zoom H4N, so this was recorded in my shop sitting at my reedmaking bench may 12 2009

yeah, i just checked out Kirk's site. Those look like some sweep pipes! Wish I could afford your talented craftsmanship, those instruments look very inspiring!

this is absolutely one of the most tasteful acoustic guitar pieces i've ever heard. the transitions are all natural and believable. this is incredible, and i mean that sincerely. i like the rest of what you've recorded, but i really enjoyed listening to this. it caught my attention and held it on more than one occasion.
your guitar work is great. it's so reminiscent of something and i just can't figure it out...it's like the result of david gilmour and robert fripp's kids having a kid.

the first multi track piece that I actually finished "in the box" in Cubase. An ambient kinda thing that grew out of playing around with the Line 6 DL4. Not sure I like the bow parts, but I may re do it later
digital metronome noise kills me. it's sort of like a less irritating alarm clock, and if there is any single noise that totally destroys my happiness it's alarm clock buzzing.
other than the metronome, though, this song is awesome. it's very unique, though i'm trying to pinpoint something it sounds similar to. i don't know if it's the reversed guitar that gives off a robert fripp vibe, or if i'm just projecting that because of your electric guitar jams cover.
either way, i dig the music. i'm listening to 'sunday afternoon' now. you're an accomplished guitar player. i really love the subtlety and texture of the synth noise, or whatever is going on in the background. this is all great so far.

Rough sketch of a proposed dreamy 12 string piece that I couldn't pull off on the 12 string so did this quick electric version with vocal pads. Not sure of the recording quality- sounds OK in my cans and kinda crappy on my monitors. Recorded march…
One from a year ago or so. Never was happy with the recording quality, but never got around to re recording it. My attempt at a kind of late 70's Phil Keaggy thing

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

This is probably my last track for this year's RPM Challenge (leaving it incomplete for 2011). I'm kind of worn out and not feeling super inspired this year and I sort of…
This song was born on the 18th of Feb. 2011. It was the last piece I wrote/recorded for the challenge. It was a very sad day for me, almost as if all my usual winter sadness was concentrated and crammed into one day. The process of writing and…
Well, about six months ago, I uploaded a rough study called "Songwriting Day One." I wasn't sure where the song would go, but words came in January just in time for this year's RPM album... And before I forget... Curse you Bm!!!
GENEVIEVE…
One more to go and I'm slapping them together.
This is 3 layered drum loops. Some dupes and some play along.
I've managed to grow a huge beard this RPM.
I think I'm starting to look like Gandolf. :)
Early seventies type electric blues thing.
Here's some lyrics:
Bye Bi Baby
Sorry to see you fly
Bye Bi Baby
Sorry to see you fly
You wanted the one thing I couldn't give you
No matter how hard I tried
Bye Bi Baby
We had some fun…
bit of a key change, and temperament,
just as small note: the opening and closing strings really buzz cool in headphones, something i though i might give a try too
This one is more of a reading set to music of part of a piece i wrote about a place i used to live. We used to walk most days down into the valley and i long to be back there, hopefully one day i will ...

This was written as part of a concept album inspired by the work of Pablo Picasso ,Trevor Lewis is a member of Songcrafters music forum , he came up with the idea of writing poems to 12 Picasso paintings , then put them out for people to put music…
Final version
Guitar, mandolin and voice.
this doesn't fit with my rpm project AT ALL so i may not use it but i like the way it came out. I recorded the music for Bethan Mathis' RPM project but she didn't have time to use it (her album is…

John Blythm and Jon Ruse with most fingers in the pie. Mustachioed (on One Side) WIllie Lee Harlot on trumpet.
Because ve like for to make ze Franch girls to sufFAIR, no?
I started off with an idea to record some harmonized diminished arpeggios and the other riffs just happened along the way. Inspired by Dethklok, hope you like it.
Inspired by the scene in the movie Hustle & Flow where they make the song "Whoop That Trick," I made this jam based (loosely) on the main riff to that song with extra stuff. The strange thing about the main riff is that I'm playing (low) octaves…

another beauty, Kirk!
such a beautiful piece...so soothing.

Love it, Kirk! What amazing reeds you must make!

nice classical/electric sound and good fretboard work i especially liked the chromatic downdrift in the main chordal theme.
this sounds incredibly familiar.. but I cannot seem to put my finger on it... Very nice melodies.
such a lovely vibe on this one. And thanks for all of the feedback, I really appreciate it!
I like this one a lot. Very nice feel to it.
A thing of beauty. Especially the bow parts :-)
m, i like ur stuff.
beautiful!
this is sweet.
thank you kirklynch
real nice! shades of phil keaggy's acoustic work
...cool, Kirk; 'here to check your stuff more carefully now. Thanks, by the way, for checking out my stuff and for the comments; Bless your day.
Every time I listen to this, I fall in love with this track all over again! I hear so many different genres in the piece. I LOVE that kind of work!
Kirk, thank you so very much for your support! It means so much to us! I LOVE your work! wendy

Very cool track man! If you ever achieve that sound in your head tell me how you did it because I never have either!
Lovely song man!
I remember the rough version. This came out great Keith!
Cool sounds man! Careful Bethan- sounds like there may be aliens lurking in that soapy water!
I love anything where the 9nth is emphasized in a chord. One of my favorites of yours!
Nice! Acoustic guitar in the lead? Interesting effects on it!
Damn- I almost missed this one. Great stuff Rick! One of your best in my opinion
Ha! Brilliant!
Can't wait to hear the rest of these. Beautiful! Some of the strings almost sound like they have a touch of distortion on them and it's a cool effect
This is great Reg!
Great piece of work this is!
Great production and vocals! Very Nice!
Just makes me feel good!
Very cool jam!
Gorgeous!
Rough or not this is a great song man!
Ah Yes- Mustachioed Willy Lee Harlot. There's a name I haven't heard in years. Master of understatement he was!
You'll have to excuse me while I search the floor for my jaw! I needed a good ass kicking like this this morning!
Poor Johnny! That woman wasn't worth it
Good Lord! That's heavy as hell! And you like my phrasing? I wish I had half your chops!
