Am so behind on my listens!! This is a complete treat - from the opening beats [banging on your guitar??] to the sublime guitar [played proper], just lovely.
would fav it twice if possible. I am a sucker for acoustic guitar percs. The guitar has some unmistakable Hawaii flav. too..I might have to break out endless summer now...
Anyone read Ink Exchange by Melissa Marr - my daughter lent it to me - teenage Faery novel about addiction - pretty creepy at times.
This is the one act musical version.
I wanted a 'deranged in our neighbourhood' kind of feel to it.

This is piece that I recorded while playing in my living room one morning. It's a purely improvised piece. I just put the Mac laptop into record and began playing. I used my Goodall 12 string in standard tuning. I always include improvs when…
Based around a fragment I came up with around 10 years ago in University believe it or not, while I was learning to play guitar. As you can see, I was homesick. :) Thanks so much to Gary for adding a bit of spice with the bass, lead guitar and…

Solo acoustic finger picking thing I've been working on for a while. Sometime around 1968 I started studying with Mr. George Bennett who taught me the rudiments of finger picking. Later when we played some gigs together he also taught me the rudiments…
Comments on Rick Phillips's stuff
I love it. Do you guys know about Joe Craven? I think Norm would find him very interesting.
Nice guitar work there.
I like it. Makes me feel like a swamp monster is about to grab me.
