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!
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...
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…

As she laughed I was aware of becoming involved
in her laughter and being part of it, until her
teeth were only accidental stars with a talent
for squad-drill. I was drawn in by short gasps…

LYRICS:

Really wanted to try and learn what i would consider one of the best lead guitar solos of all time, recorded this in early 2010 and it's my effort at learning the solo. Hope you enjoy it.
Well, here is a new version of this one. I was not playing my own guitar, but one of a friend, which doesn't sounds so bright. Anyway, i think this is a better interpretation, but still has some mistakes. (this time is well tuned..)
For everyone who lives in a bright sunny place. Got lots of snow in the mountains today.
On days like these, there are only 4 things to do:

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.

When you can bang, pick, and set yourself on fire, then you've got a killer act. ;) I enjoyed this. Made me feel all gritty and stuff.
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.
Great work! Tight playing......

Pretty cool man, i like how you were able to mix the guitarcussion down so it's not to loud!
Super! Nice rithm Rick!
Very cool Rick! I've often thought of doing percussion tracks like this, but have never gotten around to it as yet
