A steel string guitar improvisation I did last night before bed called “A Nagging Thought“. The piece prominently features a V+ to i (augmented dominant to minor tonic) movement. I usually don’t care for the sound of an augmented tried but in…

The story of everyone's life. I tried again, after I learned it a bit better. I took my love, I took it down Climbed a mountain and I turned around And I saw my reflection in the snow covered hills Till the landslide brought me down…

guitar and piano jam over some loops and spoken words of "veins of evil" written by me

I found this vocal in my phone mailbox. Not sure who Reg was calling but I'll take advantage of the wrong number he dialed :-)

Some days falls gently.

Inner darkness.

mash for ImprovFriday

The original way it was written and originally written for my band, Nail of The Sun. A version showed up on my album demos for "Cryptical Condition" as the song "Transitions".

Nowhere To Run, original composition. Nowhere to Run i'm pretty sure not hitting theaters and everywhere else 2012, hah, now is the time to PANIC.

Vaisvil sent me this great Blues tune and so i threw it down the cellar and Reg jumped all over it with his point of view on love being a Four letter word.......... FOUR LETTER WORD (Lyrics) Love  oh Love it's not just a four letter word…

I don't wanna lose you, I don't wanna use you Just to have somebody by my side And I don't wanna hate you I don't wanna take you But I don't wanna be the one to cry That don't really matter to anyone, anymore But like a fool I keep losing…

Instrumental - sorry for the drums continue far past the "music". Cheers all

My Fender Mustang + Marshall Amp + I dragged out the whammy bar - AKG D950 mic behind the amp and Zoom H2 in front - dropped the tracks into sonar and panned a bit. I also midi recorded the guitar and used the midi to drive upright bass, albino…

This is a song some 15 years in the making. The original 4-track cassette tape tracks laid down in 1997 - and this past year Frank added bass and drums. Its my fault on how there are still rough edges - that is the result of how I did things…

My friend Frank Miller did a drum improvisation track at my request - and I then improvised lyrics, vocal, and guitar with a bit of touch up. This was the first track we did together since 1979.

I salivated over this $3,500 guitar last night. I had the "expensive guitar room" at Guitar Center to myself so I played and recorded on my zoom H2. Yes, this is guitar p0rn...

This is an improvisation I did live on ustream - but the audio quality was horrific - fortunately I had recorded everything in Sonar so I used Sony Vegas to make this into something listenable. Since the frame rate was messed up (you can see…

This is my contribution to the Angie Fights Crime project titled "Sunny Sorta"...." It's 12 songs written by A.F.C. and performed by 12 different artists. I chose Honky Tonk Prison because I knew it would rock and roll :) So CRANK IT UP…

Another one from last nights session down the cellar.........Well it was only a matter of time before Reg had enough of her, she reminded him too much of Desire......now he's gone.......it was goodbye.........

Tom came down the cellar this morning so Reg Regged up one of his tunes....... Straight out of the Micro Br i'm still trying to figure it out but it's coming..............

I bought a thing called an irig for the I pad and an app Amplitude ...i used the onboard mic on the ipad......the song is my version of take it easy baby it's been Regged.... I still have to work out how to mix it .........I did this while sitting…

heat wave + pots and pans

My first attempt (at least in several years) to write and produce an electronic song. Perhaps it's a failure, in that I ended up mixing my guitar and bass in pretty loudly, but I'm really happy with it none-the-less. It's catchy! Please enjoy…

Well, I switched the mic to high sensitivity instead of low. It actually sounds as it did when I played it. But looking at the waveform it resembles a sausage. I had to drop the volume 6 Db because it was *way* loud. Clipping tends to make…

instrumental love song

Something the Gritter wrote about the Beatle cover i did rang a bell that turned into an alarm and now it's a song Thanks Sandy The best Cowboys do have Chinese eyes that ain"t no lie.....oh and thank you Pete too.......for actually coming up with it

I'm shipping my canon off so it can have a new career without me. Its such a happy yet sad occasion to see your instrument leave the nest..... ;-[ so I had to spend just a little more time with it.

Reg is feeling a bit uneasy about his new love......is she getting too close too quickly......only time will tell....should he stay and feel the love?............

instrumental piece

Why is it that the first song I work on when I start a writing/recording project almost always comes in at less than 2 minutes? Who knows.

here's the lyrics: Inside a casket, ... broken dreams six feet under, it starts to leak six feet over he gets a whiff assembles the puzzle piece by piece on salty water a thought is born sailing regardless of a coming storm the mast is broken…
