This is probably the last of this stuff from the archives that I'll upload. Rescued from a cassette tape of a live performance with former band mates in Scartaglen. These tunes are popular down in the Southwest of Ireland. Michael(Fiddle) and…
These are such fun tracks. Sheer listening pleasure.
When I was a senior at school, I used to hold a country dance class for the younger ones in the gym at lunchtimes. They used to display on Sports Day. Your music really has my feet tapping.
Another one from back when I was tracking to actual tape. Was going to do a new version at some point, but decided I had lost interest. Sometimes there's no sense in recreating the past! Recorded probably the beginning of 2007
This is a live cut from an NPR radio broadcast back in 1988 while my Irish Trad group Scartaglen was on one of its first east coast tours. Found recently on a cassette tape. Musically this was one of my favorite periods in the history of the band…
Hi Kirk, typically it is easiest to start talking about notes as numbers in the tuning. So say for instance a a fifth would be from note 1 (or 0) to note 12 (11). This page may help http://xenharmonic.wikispaces.com/19edo

I stopped back for a second listen. It's even better this time.
You have a lot going on in the song, and it's all going in the same direction.
You really know how to build a song!
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

Started out be an innocent little jazzy study in quartal harmony, but the DL4 was still in my signal path and things went downhill from there! Another done with my beloved '58 Stratotone
I hesitate to upload this, but there are a couple folks around who like this sort of thing. This is an edited down version of a jam I had with myself back at the end of 2007. Live to 2 tracks with the aid of the Jamman. I think it was the first…
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…

Several years ago I had a short lived duo with an oboe and English horn player named Nat. This is a demo from that period. It's an old old chord progression of mine that never really had a melody and Nat improvised this melody in the studio to…
Something completely different- Uilleann pipes(Irish bagpipes) and synth. I wrote this tune over 20 years ago in the style of traditional Irish slow airs. It was recorded way back in 1991 for an album that's been out of print for over 15 years…

Take whatever you want from me (babe)
Take all that you need
I need to lighten my load lately
To a certain degree
Tokens only are slowing me down
There’s a lot of luggage in life
Chatter scattered across…
Hey, I made up this jam after reading the Yngwie article in the July 2008 issue of Guitar World. It's just stuff loosely based on the A Harmonic Minor and the regular A minor scales.
Gary Fox helped me learn how to sing harmony with myself.

Do you remember
Those times we spent alone?
Walking hand in hand
Skimming stones
Watching the stars
Hiding from our friends
Those summer nights

Romance is not dead, She is tied to my bed,
She is asleep, and then she's awake,
There in the darkness her demon awaits
I'll take her where ... and whenever I want
Submissive and silent, faithful and free
It is her…
Lyrics:
You think you know what you’re talking about
You get your way when you scream and shout
Look all around, you’ll find someone to blame
I’m just a pawn in your little game
I thought you were special, that was my mistake
You thought…

All the recording/looping/synth were done on my iphone, using Loopy and Animoog app. Some post processing in Logic. The 12 string is tuned to C6.

Actual tape has a certain timbre I have always liked. This forward leaning lead is most angular and sweet. Faved.

Great guitar riffs!
Enchanting piece! Very nice!
Beautiful!
Damn fine tones!
Quite beautiful!
Very cool! Really liked the transitions from the shred stuff to the clean toned melodic bits
Interesting sounds!
Nice playing!
I'd say Gary did a good job of teaching harmony singing. Backing vox sound great!
Quite beautiful and the vinyl scratches add to it in an odd way
Beautiful track!
Very cool! I was a huge fan of Hammer films

Nice blues playing man!
