Solo acoustic guitar recorded January 2nd 2009. Hope to do a longer more developed version at some point ,but for now just a short version to learn more about using new DAW software.
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

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

Ha ha, yep...well you know Kirk...me and silence have issues when I get ahold of a guitar. Maybe I should have done an acoustic version?? Now I gotta get my Jimi Jam on to break the post lunch lag!

An unusual traditional tune from the first Scartaglen album way back in 1984. Going through stuff the other day and ran across the LP and couldn't even remember the tune or having recorded it. I played guitar on this track

Sitting around in my shop a couple of days ago with the Goodall and the Zoom H4N. First time I've really messed with using the internal mics on the H4N in multitrack mode
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…
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

Some friends throw other friends going away parties.
Songwriting friends say "hey, what a great idea for a song."
Tech notes:
I've been losing my voice today and ended up having to go back and do retakes to try to get as close to on-pitch as…
Some experimentation that started with sandbags saying that he was looking for a wood sound. I responded with marimba plus monster reverb... and I quickly noodled together an ambient thing.
I wondered aloud whether I was done or should continue…
Slack key guitar and baritone ukulele.
Hula version.
Pauoa Liko Ka Lehua is about the beautiful flowers (Lehua) of Pauoa. The double entendre (kaona or hidden meaning) involves a girl with swaying hips.:)
This is great. It's like it can't decide if it's Jazz or 20th century classical. Reminds me a bit of the first Mahavishnu record without the frantic aspect. That's it- I'm swiping some chord voicings from you for new inspiration
Originally this piece was written for a guitar. But I love my R3 so much! I'm playing with it. So this piece is just an electronic version. As always, all sound patches were programmed by me.
Alright, so it turns out that I lied.
THIS song is actually #60 of 2009. I forgot about how I turned the instrumental "lucid traum" into the spoken word 'drama' "wake me up" for a class project.

The Polka is thought to have originated in eastern europe by the Czechs. The people of west kerry in Ireland took the polka into their heart and are renowned for their own polkas. The two polkas in this recording are known to me as "John Ryans…
Yeah, so I finally consolidated my music collection over from my other mac and found my grand total for 2009.
This is my 60th track of 2009.
I wrote my first track for a MIDI class in the fall of 1999 (did I mention I'm a 10th year sophomore…
Yeah- what Yelyah said- doesn't sound like a demo to me. I especially like those little crunchy sounding percussion parts buried back there. Nice stuff!! Wish I had your engineering chops :)
New stuff has been slow in coming for me lately, but I found this lurking on my hard drive from a while back. Frankly don't remember how I did it except that it was all live to 2 tracks and at one point one of my synth patches glitched out on…
Made this over the last couple of days. all original no samples. Done with GR20 guitar synth, GT10 pedal board and Korg emx synth.
feedback welcomed thanks
Started off with me just goofing around with Battery and a couple of other NI things (which are new to me) and grew into this...
It may still have places to go.
Comments on kirklynch's stuff
My only criticism of this day in January is that it was too short. This is sublime.
Chilling out, drinking red wine, listening to tunes from the bordello. Sweet life.
Love the sense of urgency in this otherwise laid back piece. Such a classic.
awesome flow and melody on this one.
excellent as always!!! KIRK EL MAESTRO DE LAS 6 CUERDAS!!!!!
I'm a huge Hendrix person. This jam made my day! Awesome stuff!
Man oh man...one of these days I really need to talk you into playing lead on one of my tracks ;) Damn I love this track

More polychords make their appearance . .. you're a sneaky composer, almost like Ralph Vaughn Williams meets Isaac Albeniz, if that makes sense.
Great guitars and chord sequences and licks.
Shades of Hackett and Gabriel but a light in it's own right.Great musicianship all round and a magical piece of wrtiting
This is a really nice song. I like the vibe....
always on my Ipod :)
You are very quickly becoming one of my favorite musicians...yes, the muse indeed...in fact, our neighbors collie passed last night...our sheltie, Emmitt, is in his last days...heartfelt kirk...merci
