This is wild! Strangely attractive, inspite of the voltage noises you push through my head. A couple of great guitar licks, around 2:30 and love the rhythm guitar riff around 5:45.
Your percussion work is top notch.
This started up while I was commenting something else... initially I was going to stop it, but something dragged me in... I was over halfway through before I realised I'd stopped typing!
Nice one, well worth a listen... it kept my attention all the way.
(I do hope I actually pressed send on the other comment - I keep forgetting to when this happens!)
The only thing notable about this cover of George Harrison's The Art of Dying is that it is one take (of *many* blown attempts) with the only edit being adding a bit of choir at the end using the midi data from the Roland GR-20. And no I didn…
Just an improvisation for ImprovFriday - recorded on my Zoom H2 in the expensive acoustic guitar room at my local guitar center.
I had to switch to mono because I had the zoom too sensitive and created a series of pops on one channel. This…

I hope you can see the above picture - I scored a 15 chord autoharp zither for $42 on ebay. 4 old guitar strings later (I save them... just in case :-) and a tuning against an organ patch she is working nicely again. Can't wait to show Emily…
In response to a suggestion of Dr. Ozan Yarman I tried a tuning he created for a different project. I realized the composition using Garritan Personal Orchestra Baroque organs, Garritan World sample set Oud and Santoor samples performed on an…

wherever you happen to be
she's not too far behind
looking for her apology
you know she'll never find it
it's the same song that she sings
and it drowns out everything

This is the first time I have played in drop D
this is a Springsteen song that he borrowed the title from a Pete Seeger song..and I like the way Warren Haynes plays it live...so here is my humble attempt at it...
Just like two sides
Of the same silver dollar
We’re not alike but still the same
And your big life
Makes mine look smaller
I wonder if you know my name
I wait around
You might be calling
A telephone that never rings
End of the day…
My first attempt to work with loops I created using midi.
With Mr Sandbags (reichatron). There's a really cool version with guitar added by Mac somewhere too, but it's weirdly vanished! Will add as soon as I find it.
With huge thanks to the awesomeinfinity Jake, Wrinkled Shirt, who let me use his gorgeous instrumental track "Gaza".
The sun left the city, from the ground
Moonlight woke up, falling down
Why are you scared, free as a bird
Now that the heat…
