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...
I hijacked Norbert Oldani's excellent piano improvisation and add some guitar to it.

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…

ohhh I didn't see you had uploaded this! To answer your question - it was a Yamaha - can't remember the model - it had 3 pedals - I agree about the low end but the high end was really weak in my opinion.
Added a little more to this nice little change of strumming patterns played as an excuse to write a little love song.
I FOUND LOVE
You know I love you more than I
Ever thought one simple man could
You know I need you more than I
Ever…

finally got to hear this. there is a distinct didgeridoo sound to it, especially when you start. I wonder what would happened if you bowed the string. - and - how did you pull the wire out of a tire - I want to do that.
Lyrics:

I hate you when you breathe. Could you stop?
Waking up is hard to do when sleep never comes
But your ugly faces woke me up...
Callous sycophants
I know you too well to rest again
I'll stay up forever. I'll be ready
I've seen…

I have the midi files saved if you would like them? although some of this is performance midi records If I can say that? ;)
A composition for 3 piece jazz band, tenor sax, fretless bass, and drums in 14 equal divisions of the octave and 5/4 time. This was realized using Garritan Jazz and Big Band sample set and Sonar X1.
I'm going to put this in my profile if it will fit.
the question of how microtonality is perceived and why is a hotly debated one on the tuning list. There seems to be, in general, but not in all cases, shared intervals around the world, like the 5th. However non-western cultures use, in general, microtonal tunings. !2 equal notes to an octave is a relatively recent invention in the west. 300 years ago it was common for what would be now called a microtonal tuning to be in common, everyday use. As best as can be determined the push for 12 equal was all about changing keys in a single piece of music. If you take the tuning of the middle ages, Pythagorean, you find you can't play in any key despite having 12 notes because the intervals between the notes are not equally spaced. As a result when you take a pure chord and move it up or down the octave with the same distance between the notes it could become something hideous. 12 Equal solves that problem at the expense of detuning all notes, some more than others.

Hi Ricard, thanks for the listen and comment. It is probably hard not to hear 14 edo as out of tune since it so close to 12 but not quite there. I think then your sense of it being flattened and less bright is the result of the tuning.

**Don't pull the frets off of this one, Chris!**
Very original. :) And yes, great playing.
19 edo sounds very melodious to me. Nice work!
Great playing mate very cool.
Ehat is one full sound , i love it Rob
In my half-century, I don't recall ever seeing this kind of string configuration. I'm gettin' excited. Great porn.
I want one :)
Wow! is that a Fender Jazzmaster?? Nice. They (Fender) say Jazzmaster players are the movers of music.
Stunning arrangement!
Ha ha, let it out, Chris! :) Love the "aint that true" spoken part - very cheeky.
Reaches a musical height that I can only dream of. Superb
Yes, I can see the diaphanous raiments floating about in true Minerva splendour! Most beautiful, Chris.
nice song :) I like the lyrics
wonderful ........
Beutiful combination of instruments!
Very Nice! Lovely vocals and arrangement
Awesome ha ha, love Norm's comment. Nice chord progression.
I've tried fav'ing this 70 times but so far no success.

You made it into a classical piece - I love that. Great work Richard!

the scope of this is totally impressive
one of my favorite songs - done really well!
Beautiful Richard!!
this is an excellent song!
finally got to hear this. there is a distinct didgeridoo sound to it, especially when you start. I wonder what would happened if you bowed the string. - and - how did you pull the wire out of a tire - I want to do that.
This is cool! You made the google guitar sound like its going through a *huge* stack.
wow. very powerful words and music.
this is excellent - and unique!
lovely Richard! Sounds light music for a candle light dinner.
thank you for the listen and comment on my seagull improv.
Reg - he did do something like that one day - and yes it was great!
and the excellence of the music should be overlooked too.
Reg - you are one heck of a story teller! Have you considered writing a novel or short story?
Hi John, I like this one.
you should be creating music for sci-fi films!
I wish AT had a repeat button. I'm downloading this - great piece Norm!
