A diary of guitar music improvisation and sound demos a mixture of Mark Knopfler, Joni Mitchell, Allan Holdsworth, David Starobin, Michael Landau, Wayne Krantz
If you,ve just landed here.... then welcome to this diary of noodles (Manipulation Of Negative Space) There is a great deal of improvisation to be found here which is mainly for fun and not always so musical or correct. Some tracks are very old and recorded on cassette but have a certain "zing" or concept. 90 percent of all the noises you hear here are produced from guitars. A big thanks to all the people who leave comments and write to me... its really nice to know some folk actually like this stuff... And yes for those that ask I do plan on releasing some proper music soon. Cheers, TZ.

i have always loved the jazz fusion sounds of the 70's that spawned the sounds of such great guitarists as Steve Khan, Lee Ritenour, Larry Coryell, Alan Holdsworth and Al DiMeola. just amazing music... that was light years ahead of it's time. and, this track ranks right up there. absolutely brilliant, my friend!

Total command of the instrument... I agree with barny, has a Carlton feel at intro, but is "Tone Zappa" to the bone. Production is great, guitar sounds awesome, and then there's the chops... wow. Highly recommended.
