The Photo Dies The Photo Dies
Self penned song in open G. Not the most cheerful one I've done I'm afraid. Lowden S32 double tracked for rhythm and fills.
Parcel of Rogues (Grp) Parcel of Rogues (Grp)
A guitar only instrumental arrangement of an old Scots Trad song (NOT by Robert Burns) called "Just a Parcel of Rogues in a Nation". Lowden S32 supplies guitar and percussive sounds. Based loosely around Jim Tozier arrangement in DADGAD.
Rabbit from a Hat Rabbit from a Hat
Improv with a PRS SE Soapbar on a Backing Track in F Minor from JamTracks Central called "The Conjuror" (by Paul Harvey).
Don't Feel Down 2 Don't Feel Down 2
A DADGAD semi-improvisation, taking "Star of the County Down" as inspiration, changing it to 4 time instead of 3, adding notes, and changing phrasing. Slow and slightly melancholy piece to get benefit from the sustain and tones across the fretboard.
St James Infirmary Blues St James Infirmary Blues
Simple arrangement of (an approximation of) St James Infirmary Blues.
Oran An Aoig - The Song of Death Oran An Aoig - The Song of Death
Trying out a new Lowden S32. An arrangement in open G by Rob MacKillop of a cheerily titled trad Scottish tune. One of Burns's borrowed airs I believe.
O Jerusalem (LowdenS32) O Jerusalem (LowdenS32)
Trying out a new Lowden S32. Trad, based on an arrangement by Martin Simpson in Open G. I've played this piece on other guitars - the Lowden lets me take a bit more time.
HOTRS-Acoustic HOTRS-Acoustic
Trying out a new Lowden S32. Thought this arrangement in DADGAD suited the guitar even the way I play it. It's missing some of the more difficult fingerings of the TAB and I've taken some liberties with the timing.
The Lord Aboins Air The Lord Aboins Air
An guitar arrangement by Rob MacKillop of a 17th century Scots Lute piece. He calls it a "beautiful air with fine variations". That's when he plays it! At just over 4 minutes it has inevitable mistakes - can't manage without any. Tanglewood TW73.
Yearning Yearning
Open G Improv on Tanglewood TW73. Newtone Heritage strings used on it for the first time.
Kesh Jig Kesh Jig
Attempt at a Trad Jig. TW73 Guitar on Rhythm, Lead and Lower Lead. Octave Mandolin and Tannhauser Mandolin on Rhythm. Tenor Mandola on Lead and Rhythm. Based around a Steve Eulberg Lesson on JamPlay.
Waiting for L Day Waiting for L Day
Early attempt at a composition in DADGAD. Tanglewood TW73 guitar. Probably influenced by playing a lot of 17th century lute arrangements for guitar recently. 60 days to wait before I can start playing a Lowden - a long 60 days.
