Guitarist Home Recording Collective August Task submission. "..main melody/lead part/ must have a minimum number of two notes played at all times". Went for the Ambient vibe...

Conflict Conflict
July's Guitarist Home Recording Collective task was to compose a tune where the melody or lead bit if you want can be played no faster than 120 bpm. Decided to tackle this with heavy riffing!

Café de Leith Café de Leith
The Guitarist Home Recording Collective task for May 2005 was to create a recording using at least one of the supplied Jazz samples. I was aiming for a summery laid back Jazz Café vibe with this piece finally finished on a sunny day in Leith

Green Eyes Green Eyes
Fiddling around on the guitar watching telly I came up with a lovely melody that I decided to quickly record before it was lost, this is the result. Recorded with my Ibanez Jem GMC on neck pickup straight into the POD.

Funky Improv #1 Funky Improv #1
Single take Improv ( hence some dodgy notes ;) ) over backing track from Guthrie Govan's amazing Creative Guitar books, funky fun.

Cover of Steve Vai's 'signature' track from the truly groundbreaking solo Album Passion and Warfare.

Another first :), this time for the Guitarist Recording Collective. This piece was recorded for the August 2003 task which was to record a piece in the Minimalist style, whatever 'minimal' means to you. Recorded in a single take on a single track.

Initiation Initiation
My first piece of Major Recording. Composed for UKMG Offline Vol 3 a double CD collective effort from various members of the uk.music.guitar Newsgroup.One day when I've improved my mixing ability I'll probably do a remix of this piece :).
