Based on Norm Harris' Percussion Solo Moonbathing http://alonetone.com/norm/tracks/moonbathing this piece uses bass pictured above after conversion to fretless and uses my fretless Fender Squire through the metallurgy 3 demo effect.

I have a story to tell. Debbie and I went to a Guitar Center across town looking for a cheap used bass for me to convert to fretless like I did my Squire Strat. Well.... I ran into a really nice used Ibanez 5 string bass - with a B below E…

Well, I finally got my hands on a 17 note per octave electric guitar thanks for Brad Smith, a local Luthier who did a lovely conversion of a Jay Turser strat copy I bought at the local Guitar Center for $65. The guitar is nicely very bright…

"High Life" is a musical genre that originated in Ghana in the 1900s and spread to Sierra Leone, Nigeria and other West African countries by 1920. My friends from that part of the world consider this be the "go-to" rhythm for just about anything…
Kinda rough. I'm uploading this mainly to share a guitar technique I've been working on. I'm wearing a slide on my picking hand and using it to alter pitches in single line phrases. There's a lot more can be done with this technique that I've…
I 2nd the request for a video. I'm assuming you are pushing the slide off the bridge toward the neck - correct? I've net ever heard of someone putting the slide on the picking hand before - but it sure sounds great!! Beautiful piece of work here Kirk!!
This rough track uses my Blue Just Tuning system (go to www.johnsmusic7.com for details and a photo of the guitar). This is the same tuning Chris Vaisvil used in his Excluded By Peers piece. I hope to add some lead to the track soon.
This blues piece uses my Blue Just tuning system (1/1, 15/14, 9/8, 6/5, 5/4, 4/3, 7/5, 3/2, 8/5, 5/3, 9/5, 15/8, 2/1). For more on my tuning go to www.johnsmusic7.com

Jqscutt had this guitar riff that he sent me and we worked out a song with bass, rhythm, lead and drums over the internet. I posted it for a collab for some key additions. This was added by TiS friends K-Lyd and Coruz. Later, they found Liam…

it is like playing to random computer musical notes. very well done.
It's like an Irish folk cinematic feeling:)
Like. Thanks for bringing my favorite Poe(m) to life!
This just reconstructed my mind and further more it's brilliant Chris!
very nice,, i am just starting to use the garritan po, think i'll look into the world samples,,,, very nice piece
*staring at his stat copy in the corner.....* do you need more notes lil' buddy? do you? ;) Really dig the sound!
Sounds a bit like Ravel's Bolero. How about a bit more volume on the music and a bit less on the percussion? John.
Very nice tune. but now you make me consider buying the Garritan World set too. ;-) These tuning capabilities in the new player are really awesome
Nice one Chris. Very pretty. Love the pipes and the percussion.

wild story!
excellent! I like the way the congas answer each other.
this is beautiful - I love the slide. Gosh I sound so amateurish compared to you guys (and Kirk, and Bethan, and Tess, and ..... I'm just wow'd .
I 2nd the request for a video. I'm assuming you are pushing the slide off the bridge toward the neck - correct? I've net ever heard of someone putting the slide on the picking hand before - but it sure sounds great!! Beautiful piece of work here Kirk!!
wow - this harkens back to the Beatniks with a motown funk vibe - that is so cool! - I love your voice Reg!!
would either of you have a rpoblem if I added to this?
excellent! The interplay between guitar and percussion is very good.
I notice "voip" - is this what caused SKYPE to crash? excellent!! brutal!
