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…
Straight ahead stone city electric blues for an old friend who used to spend hours spinning BB King and Mike Bloomfield records for me. Recorded back sometime at the end of 2006 on old analog equipment

You Have hit close to home with this beauty track. I just had to put my old dog (16y) and old cat (17y) down the same week, about a month ago. It is still raw with me. this song soothes my mind. Really lovely and recorded so well.
I swore that I would NEVER upload this. Was having a bad day trying to loop "nice" acoustic guitar sounds and got frustrated so grabbed my Taylor and plugged it into a cheesy Effects box and straight into the looper. Started twiddling knobs and…

Very emotional in its own way. Those added "bends" tell a story about being blind-sided and trying to maintain composure in a topsy-turvy world. Or...it could just be a demo of a new technique. ;)

I 2nd the request for a video. I'm assuming you are pushing the slide off the bridge toward the neck - correct? I've net ever heard of someone putting the slide on the picking hand before - but it sure sounds great!! Beautiful piece of work here Kirk!!

Awesome. I hadn't read the description and couldn't figure out what was going on here. Very David Gimour in both tone and quality. Would love to see a glimpse of what you're doing.

Blues Guitar for Christmas as a metaphor for saying farewell to the outgoing something (sound cool, eh?). P.S. Nothing to do with my favorite Michael Brook album with the same title - Cobalt Blue.

Some reflections after recording this song:
1. Mic positioning for a live take can drive you crazy
2. The lowest note I can comfortably sing is an A
3. A tortured soul can somehow write an amazing love song
4. I still have much to learn
There are 3 styles of the Rumba Guáguánco pattern: this one originates from the Cuban province of Matanzas (to the east of Havana).
“Rumba” is a Spanish term for a gathering of musicians, singers & dancers (what West Africans refer to…
This is a classical finger picked blues / classical guitar solo hybrid with lexicon reverberation and freeze pedal. There is some sloppiness. The idea was to push myself in playing and what I was playing melodically and harmonically.
Very interesting. Alonetone ate my first comment apparently. Thanks for the link the other day as well. Will be doing some reading over there again soon
OCCUPY 0112
It's a highland I call my land
It's an island in the sun
No matter how you measure it
It's always number one
If I had a house to occupy
I'd occupy my wish
But to have a house to occupy
I must defy the rich

Very silly.
Well, can’t you see the baby’s crawling
And pulling up all by herself
I can’t imagine what will be falling
When she climbs up on the shelf
See how much she likes to…
I have tried to capture that "stabbing"feeling that comes when someone says, "You were really pissed last night! Do you remember what you did?" And of course you don't remember! So you don't know whether you were a dickhead, or an arsehole or…
The third of three tracks in this year's "Winter Sketches" EP. As preparation for my concept for this year's RPM Challenge, ALL SOUNDS were produced on an iPhone. This track was recorded in a single pass using the Beatwave app.
Comments on kirklynch's stuff
great sound and playing, must try that since I have a pair of matched condensers.
This one is on my iPod.
Nicely played. I keep hearing BB King lyrics over it. Except when Clapton takes the stage.
I like the sustained feel on this one - and the melodic integrity - just perfect blues!
Sweet tone on that guitar! Nice.
You Have hit close to home with this beauty track. I just had to put my old dog (16y) and old cat (17y) down the same week, about a month ago. It is still raw with me. this song soothes my mind. Really lovely and recorded so well.
Your stuff seems to getting more adventurous and progressive, and I really like it. Why no thumbs up icon?
Really nice work!
This mix's well with red wine Merry Christmas
Really beautiful here, Kirk! Thanks as always for taking the time to listen.
:) me like
This is very good. P.S. I'd really love to hear you do something with a heavier Sabbathy/AIC-type riff underneath.
I like when people sneak in 9th's and diminished whatchamacallims . . . fingers in strange places + cool solo = awesome song.

That is really cool. Your gonna make millions. Let me know when they are ready for shipping.
