Song #2 for the RPMC. My goal is to have 12 short tunes (1-3 minutes long), so I need to pick up the pace.
Again, quartal tuning on the top 3 unison pairs of the 12 string. I've been listening to Ralph Towner's Blue Sun, hence the title.

My RPM challenge this year: acoustic guitar instrumental album with no more than three tracks on each tune (ok, maybe four!)
This one is a single track with no overdubs. On the 12 string, the 4th,5th and 6th string pairs are tuned a fourth apart.
1pm on Sunday. I'm not back in work until Tuesday. We've just had a delicious roast dinner that I cooked, and the glass of wine we had with it is helping it go down. As a crisp February sun twinkles through the window I realise that for the first…

My second attempt at the RPM challenge 2012......
DO WE STAY OR DO WE GO (Lyrics)
I drink to try and resolve all the problems that i know
i try to find some kind of escape but i’m afraid that i’m just too late
all my thoughts they whirl around…

Blink And You'll Miss It...

I’ll be by your side.
But a shield.
Still a fool.
Like an Eye in the past.
I remain.
Shut in Hope.
Whenever you fall,
Take my hand should you need.

As a secretary I went to my boss with an idea. He said, you're not paid to think, young lady, you're paid to do as I tell you. He never knew that when I went back to my typewriter this is what I was typing.
Another cut from the 1988 cassette tape of a live performance by Scartaglen on the NPR show Mountain stage. This time some tunes from County Kerry.
Kirk Lynch- Uilleann pipes and whistle. Becky Pringle- Fiddle. Mike Dugger- Fiddle and guitar…
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
Comments on Movement To Contact's stuff
i know i said that before, but again: you always have great drum tracks on your songs
this is fantastic. what great riffs and guitar tones
So this is how you kick ***. Nice track, great tones here. Right in the pocket...
very cool,, lots of high energy here!! im interested in how you chose the title r
Massive guitar sounds! Dig!
WOOOHOOO! Damn!- I'd fave this in a heartbeat if I only could! Cranked up till my eardrums are about to meet in the middle!
Soundgarden like, wicked. Man you really got the gift of riffs
Damn fine riffs & tone
My guitar hero :)
Serious stuff right here. Out of sight tight.
Solid and real tight MTC. Certainly worth vocalizing. Bass and Drum breaks are crackerjack. Spot on.
Slammin' Jammin' man.
Love the variety on this track!
A fantastic failure! Let's have an alonetone convention at your BBQ!
Nice dynamics in this one.
this is a pretty sweet instrumental tune
sick - love the bass on this one
nice - like Silverchair covering "Back In Black"
opening riff reminds me of "War Pigs"- very cool - love the drops outs and drum breaks
dig those guitar effects and playing. Yup a cranker upper^
