DGDGBD tuning played on a rare Shiraki acoustic
rock piano vocals harmony funk jazz instrumental blues experimental rhythm and blues improvisation multi genre
Hi! I'm a guitarist, singer and songwriter currently living in Fredericton, N.B., Canada. I've been performing music in one way or another since the mid '60's, starting out singing tenor in a barbershop quartet with my brothers and then into a progression of bands playing rock, jazz, blues and country and... whatever. It's been a fun ride so far and I'm still as exited about it as the day I began. Ralph Atkinson

Great tune and arrangement ralph! Not a huge fan of instrumental music but this kept me rapt throughout. wonderful build, love the slide guitar part, the subtle synths by the end - all so well done! the actual recording is so clear and clean, which is certainly worth mentioning. love that tuning too - I bought a second guitar just so I could leave one in that tuning...

Hi Ralph... An awesome sounding guitar...and a beautiful bit of playing, too. The open tuning has Jimmy Page flashes throughout...the slide work is soooo tasty. Everything just seems to fit with uniquely deep and resonating sound of that Shiraki. Great stuff!

Wow, what a piece! This is fantastic Ralph - a really good composition with lots of innovative and surprising melodic twists. The tone from that Shiraki is just stunning too. A real delight - I think I'll have to nick this one.
