On youtube there's a short video clip of guitarist Shawn Lane (R.I.P) executing an extremely difficult chord voicing that requires extensive finger stretching, which Shawn calls "the hardest chord in the world." I altered the chord a little bit…
In one part I harmonized the E Phrygian intro with G Mixolydian, thought that was kinda neat. In the original tune I like the lyrics: "I am not a sailor, I am a captain, I am a captain." Electric guitar kicks in around the half way point.
Poor Reg's mate Ronald lost his job in the Government cuts now this whole world is caving in..... he has the bailiffs pounding at his door and he can't take anymore........he has lost his pension....soon to lose his house ......he's already lost…
Did my second Blues lesson last night and couldn't resist writing another song to another of the Reverend Mikes Backers....but was a bit naughty as i was supposed to use the least notes possible....but whats life if it's not for being a little…
2011 according to Regs research was pretty shit for most apart from the couple from England......it thought i would use a Chinese theme to the music being that they own it and it was the year they were able to buy most of it cheap.....note to…
A track from the RPM Challenge 2011 album. "Foggy Bottom Stomp" is a straight forward rolling groove that goes well with a brisk walk around the neighborhood.
A riff that could only be played with a raunchy synth sound. Forgive me if this causes an 80's flashback, but I had a lot of fun with this one. Originally recorded for RPM Challenge 2011, but updated with new guitar and bass to beef it up.
Ring of Fire - lyrics by Johnny Cash and June Carter Cash -1963. Slightly modified.
This wasn't meant to be Ring of Fire but that's how it wound up.
I have been wanting to trash Ring of Fire and the words just seem to fit this simple 1-4-5…
This is an improvisation (with a bit of editing where my timing got off by a lot) for this week’s ImprovFriday event
I used my M-Audio 88es to drive:
Korg MS2000
ARP 2600 V soft synth
Absynth 5 soft synth
Session 3 drummer soft synth
Pianoteq…
When I'm in the zone, I dub-out...but sometimes I just gotta blow the cobwebs out by gettin' silly on the drum machine and rippin' on the fret-less. This was one of the latter. It was heavily inspired by the book "Rolling Thunder Speaks"...specifically…

Hope you like it.
great chords on this track man.
about buffalo bill: i used the Line6 POD Farm program, and i think the settings were a Plexi Lead 100 head, classic distortion pedal, rotary drum+horn effect (may have been Phaser instead), and 'medium hall.' thanks for your comment.
