Improvisation in Gm Improvisation in Gm

This is an improvisation on guitar over a familiar track. Only the guitar work is my original music. The bass, drums and keyboard are a free backing track.

Flight in High C. Flight in High C.

This is a beautiful rhythm track that was produced by my phenomenal guitar instructor, Mitch Lavin. The lead track is one I improvised during one of our lessons.

Coffee at Night Coffee at Night

This is a little frantic picking that I recorded late one night while trying to stay awake to get some work done. So much for work! The lovely backing rhythm is another original gift from my talented friend N066y. Thanks No66y!

Not really a band. I'm just a guy learning to play guitar. I had never played a musical instrument for my entire life before this. I've now been taking guitar lessons since August of 2004 which is when my daughter and son also both began taking lessons. Recently I've been corresponding with some other enthusiastic beginners around the world and we've figured out how to create and share backing tracks and add percussion and lead tracks and such. The open critiquing and support has been great and I look forward to creating more music in the future. The learning experience has been phenominal. I wish I had learned many, many years ago. The ability to jam with my own kids is so rewarding that if I never do anything else with this instrument, I will be happy.
Have you performed in front of an audience?
I play live on my front porch just about every evening, weather permitting.
What equipment do you use?
I have a Gibson SG special. I also have an Ovation acoustic/electric and a Garrison acoustic. My daughter plays an Epiphone Les Paul and my son plays a frankenstrat that we built from parts we gathered on eBay and other sources. We have a POD and a Behringer V-Amp. There are several combo amps scattered about the house.
Anything else?
We record using crappy sound cards that are not really designed for recording. I have yet to buy any recording software. We use the free program called Audacity for now. I use PC drummer for percussion tracks.
