Mining the archives a bit. This is an alternate take of my "Jimi Jam" from a couple of years ago. Live to 2 tracks with the Jamman. Really only sounds OK when cranked up loud enough that your eardrums threaten to meet in the middle. LOL!!
Kinda rough. I'm uploading this mainly to share a guitar technique I've been working on. I'm wearing a slide on my picking hand and using it to alter pitches in single line phrases. There's a lot more can be done with this technique that I've…
Maybe I missed a career scoring for no budget spaghetti westerns, because this is what this reminds me of. Done live a couple weeks ago with the Taylor and a floor full of toys and loopers.
This track is from the 1986 Scartaglen album "The Middle Path". The first tune "Jezaig" was composed by Breton musician Gilles Le Bigot. The second tune is one of the "Cantigas de Santa Maria" and is attributed to King Alfonso X of Spain

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…

Another Live performance with former band mates in Scartaglen back in 1988 on the NPR show Mountain Stage. This time a piece of Gaelic mouth music followed by 3 reels. Maybe the most complex arrangement of a set of tunes that we ever did.
I found a cassette tape the other day from 1991 which turned out to be live to 2 track demos that Scartaglen did in the studio in preparation for our 3rd and (as it turned out) final album. This tune didn't make the cut for the record but I always…

This is one of those tracks that if you drift off to sleep while listening to it, you're almost guaranteed to have pleasant dreams. The fidelity of the recording is fantastic.
An experiment I recorded yesterday with a rig I put together for more or less ambient sounds using two loopers and nearly every effects unit I own. I have no idea who Clark was but he owned the '58 Harmony Stratotone that I used on this cut. His…

This song's about getting reacquainted with your ol' guitar after neglecting it for a few years.
Back in 2006 our band started working on writing and recording music for our project, TheSongOfTheDay.com where we released one song for each…
There are a bunch of bass tracks going on here. Headphones help pick out what's going on. This one came to me leaving Taos on the drive back to Phoenix, coming down out of the canyon. I suddenly became conscious of a disturbing dream from the…
I heard someone say to an undergraduate class, 'you're on your way to everywhere' and I loved that line. This is sort of a Beatle-esque tune. My friend Mike Levine stopped by while recording a showed me a new jig on the mandolin. I recorded…
Hi folks,
It's good to back after RPM and the blackout of 2010.
A couple firsts here. I recorded this 100% with the computer. I never plugged in to a computer before.
I've always used a Roland VS machine and burnt my
songs/tracks to SCSI…
“Hello”
You only need give the first steps where you want to go
leave your mind behind
feel the air inside
One eye on the weather and two smiles is all you need
Leave the rest to fate
Leave that place behind
Just come…
“Road”:
How can I believe in you my friend
I don´t know now what - you want from me
Please give me a reason to stay
How could you think I will change my way
to look at you, my friend
If you never show me what you feel.
I tried to explain…

this song made me pick up my guitar . thanks for inspiring.
This is sooooooo good. Quick thanks to Kavin for bringing my attention back to this Kirk Lynch masterpiece.
This is very cool. I forgot I had listened to this. There's this warm familiarity. Your Palette is very broad.
Agree - it's a score tune - and not just spaghetti westerns (whatever the heck that is). Luv the backwards delay.
cool! I enjoyed this live performance very much.
Every time I hear that guitar first come in, it's so sweet. Kudos, friend.
I have no idea how this is done,its great
The panning on this song sent a chill down my spine - nice work here!
