My Life Was Better (Steely Dan Tribute) My Life Was Better (Steely Dan Tribute)
Song by Richard John-Riley. This in response to Richard's request for lead break interpretations. Here's my take on it.

Pumice (Soft Rock) Pumice (Soft Rock)
TDPRI Backing Track Challenge; I used one of my 2009 PRS Custom 22s on this. Other equipment was a POD HD through a USB interface to Garage Band on an iPad.

Rock it to the Moon Rock it to the Moon
The guitar on this track is the Gibson ES-3399.

Sick Spack (six different vignettes in one track) Sick Spack (six different vignettes in one track)
This track contains six sections--forcing me to change horses in mid-stream and come up with something that fits each musical context. More of an experiment with six separate little songs rather than a single composition. PRS C22 on this track.

Batman! Batman!
My take on the classic theme song written by Neil Hefti for the 1960s TV series Batman.

Walk Don't Run. Aloha. Walk Don't Run. Aloha.
My take on jazz great Johnny Smith's classic surf tune by The Ventures. I used a custom Jazzmaster on this track. Book 'em, Danno!

Sticky Wicked (Tribute to Jimmy) Sticky Wicked (Tribute to Jimmy)
Custom Stratocaster through a Princeton with plenty of drippy reverb and a sprinkling of delay.

Lounge LiZZard Lounge LiZZard
Loungey-sounding groove with a Dano baritone and A PRS Custom 22. Since this sounds like a sleazy band from a film noir bar scene or a David Lynch flick, it needed an appropriate ending.

Hairway to Steven Hairway to Steven
A quick take on my version of the solo for Stairway, clams and all.

Stairway: play the solo yourself! Stairway: play the solo yourself!
PLEASE NOTE: this is not stems from the original recording. This is Rick Beato and friends recreating the solo section from the tune. Download this track, drop it into your DAW, and have at it. Here's Rick's original video: https://youtu.be/1cOosn

Sheepwalk Sheepwalk
Equipment List: (1) Danelectro baritone , and (2) Coffee. Apologies to Santo and Johnny.

The Jazzerwaukee The Jazzerwaukee
Noodling on a Guild X150D Savoy to a backing track. Enjoy the clams!

Groove Juice Special 88 Groove Juice Special 88
I used the Cort Pagelli on this track.

Tiptoe Though the Eye V Tiptoe Though the Eye V
What sort of crazy person plays a pointy Gibson Flying V on a super chilly tune like this? Me!

The Planets and the Stars The Planets and the Stars
Re-work of the previous tune that has the heavy distorto guitar section in the middle. I mellowed out the middle section here with some harmony guitar lines to create more of a 'floaty' feeling than the harder-edged sound in the previous version.

The Ballad of Big Clive The Ballad of Big Clive
Every folk hero needs a song about them. This is about Big Clive, a Youtube personality that has a very interesting channel. Celebrity Voice NOT Impersonated!

The Ballad of AvE The Ballad of AvE
Every folk hero needs a song about them. This is about AvE, a Youtube personality that has a very interesting channel. There is some adultish language in this recording. Celebrity Voice NOT Impersonated!
