A second version with the initial lead guitar standing alone...a little cluttered after a few listens and some constructive feedback!

Since Norm found himself in an acoustically great room, full of unfinished cabinets I couldn't help but add some acoustic guitar, crank it up and hope you like it Norm!

The most excellent thing about this, besides your trade-mark sweet stringing, is how you phrased this so very differently than I had ever heard it. That's one of the charms of rhythm - how you hear it depends upon where you are starting from. I think I much prefer your ear to mine with this one. Many thanks.

Deadlines, freeways, appointments, things to do lists, expectations, getting older, not enough hours in the day to get everything done? ..... make each day and moment count! Thanks to Dave Matthews for a lick I threw in there. Enjoy!

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.
but the girls is around

Now you're back in town and you claim that you followed the seam fingertips tight on the dream and slapped with some mission of peace but the girls is around with that hip modern remakin' sound yeah you stole it…
Different recording here as the electric guitar, bass guitar were not plugged in, just recorded raw with a power mic and then EQ'ed to make it sound amped - pardon mistakes!
I found a cassette tape the other day from 1991 which turned out to be live to 2 track demos that Scartaglen did in the studio in preparation for our 3rd and (as it turned out) final album. This tune didn't make the cut for the record but I always…
jqscutt posted the acoustic guitar track looking for ideas, not sure if it turned into the genre he was looking for :)
The auuuggga horn sound was another classic unplanned phone interruption during the vocal recording but it seems to fit in…
Oh well, nothing like going to a middle school music function to break writers block, all those posters and flare about achievement...
Special thanks to my sons middle school band, The Preston Pumas playing at the end !
A tune by my friend Darrin Kobetich, I added some electric guitar. Check out Darrin's stuff, available in all the usual places.

Merengues are fast arrangements with a 2/4 beat, originating from the Dominican Republic. The traditional instrumentation includes a "güira" (guiro), which is a percussion instrument that sounds like a scrapper. The Merengue güira is a cylinder…
Product of noodling around. Lead guitars are a combo of UAD's Nigel plugin and the Fractal Axe Fx. Clean guitars are the Fractal. The outro guitars are my Princeton Recording amp.

This is the end section of a recent live performance. It consists of myself and Paul Mimlitsch. It has a nice dreamy quality to it. My remote recorder has issues with pops and clicks and this was an outdoors performance. I edited out what I…

Comments on Rick Phillips's stuff
Deep songwriting. I like it. It sets a real mood.
Beautiful sound
This guitar's a real roller :] Travellin' without movin', you don't need anything else than that :]
Wicked! This is a new horizon for me, like it :]
Beautiful job Rick! That new axe is sounding great!
Really liking what you have done here, it's great.
This is brilliant - I love the blend between your awesome guitar and Normy's fine cabinetry masterpiece!
oh man, I really like this one. I had attempted a tune with this perc track using samples of other kitchen sounds but could never get it right. This sounds really good . nice collab guys !
Thats the beauty of collaboration 1+1>2 Thanks Norm
like those cool ethnic drum lines you had playing with the acoustic guitar, the ending mini-jam was impressive!
excellent synthesis of acoustic instruments complimenting each other perfectly!

Very nicely done... The perfect addition to Norm's outstanding use of cabinetry. Great job, Rick!
very nice percussion and guitar blend
3 nice change ups here and good guitar flow and tone though the whole piece Rick.
Nice crystal clear samples, dropped in at perfect times. ideal for this percussion track
Really nice sound, everything works well together :)
Man, excellent. I feel like I'm suspended in an wild place...thanks for the comment on my song. Ed was a friend of mine, and I miss his rage at the machine...adios RJ
