My first attempt at a Blumlein or Mid/Side recording. This one is actually a mid/side recording as I used a directional mic in combo with a figure 8 ribbon mic set at 90 degrees from the main mic. Thanks to Pat Broaders for the loan of the ribbon…
I really love your sound and playing here. This will be my bench-mark. I will work on my acoustic and try to reach a height such as this, Your song will be my constant inspiration. Thank you good sir. It may take me a while, but your playing here has inspired me.
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

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…

Archival stuff from my distant past with former bandmates in Scartaglen. A set of traditional Irish tunes. Rescued from a cassette tape done at a concert back in the early 90's. Myself on Uilleann pipes and whistle. Mike dugger on guitar and fiddle…

Had these backing tracks laying around on my drive for a while and didn't know what to do with them, so grabbed my Ebow and a fretless electric that I built for myself a couple years ago and had a go. My fretless playing is really in its infancy…
Really fun to listen to as well. Can imagine that fretless is hard to master, but you've sure done it. Fretless+ebow seems like a winning combo in your hands !!

This piece is made of four guitar loops, which lengths varies from 16 to 50 seconds. This is one frozen moment of this generative piece. Played again these loops may form different combinations.
Love song about strife in relationships....the song needs more work; gotta redo the vocals....nevertheless, I hope you enjoy it. Here are the lyrics:
Beyond the horizon,
The sun burns bright…
This is a remix of an improvised track I did for our first RPM album. For this new mix, I got rid of the vocals & added a most excellent electric guitar part by our good friend, Chris Mitchell. He listened to the track just once and proceeded…
This is a piece in a microtonal tuning - but sounds very much like pentatonic in "normal" 12 equal tuning to my ears. But I work in microtonal tunings all the time and may be biased.
How "in tune" does this sound to you?
Are you in touch with your past?
Do you remember before?
Are you scared of this world?
Are there locks on your door?
Is there anyone here,
who can prove that they are?
Are we anywhere near
To having too far x2
Are we anywhere near?
Are you…
Sticky, remember Homer guarding the Sugar, warm climate, plenty of yoghurt, let's not be guilty of indulgence. I have no idea what this means, you decide.

This really appeals to my Irish half. There's something about Irish folk music that brings a smile to one's face.

Lovely!
This is just gorgeous!
Nice writing! Enjoyed that
HA! What a riot. Hell indeed!
Damn nice! Love that guitar. Thanks for listening man and have a good Christmas yourself!
I think I'm too used to hearing equal temperament. Sounds out of tune to me in places but not unpleasantly so. Will have to listen a couple more times
Very pretty!
Lovely track!
Very cool vibe! Love the hand claps and the little harp lines
Beautiful!
HA! I do the same thing myself.Mostly in the spring so I can remember what mushroom season was like from year to year
That's a little different for VC. Very nice!
Great song! Love the guitar work as well!
What a beautiful piece!
