Description : This is another off the cuff recording, nothing fancy just an electric guitar track and an alto sax track. Both tracks recorded first take to try and capture the improvisation in it's raw state. I have added reverb to the sax and adjusted the levels slightly, but that's it. I am sticking with this format for the next 6-10 tracks, I just want to work on getting the what's in my head music across to the finger music a little more directed, if that makes sense.. I hope you enjoy this little piece of heaven..

Hey man...interesting formula...retrospective..or breaking down the cellular barrier between thought and action...I think one of the magical things about music is that it represents the future and the past at the same moment....It could be argued that the responses of a musician are governed by his tutelage and ability. I'm more inclined to believe that once a certain intimacy and understanding is achieved the brain takes over in that wonderful knack we humans have..we extemporise....I've met few musicians that can do this as creatively and successfully as you can....Like many of your students we are lucky to get an opportunity to learn from as well as enjoy your music.......planet :)
Hey Planet, nice words from one so wise and musical.It's a strange one to digest this improvising/instant composition. I'm having to think about what the sax/lead instrument will play while recording the guitar foundation, and trying to accomodate the interplay between the two before I get to that stage. Does that make sense? Anyway I have done another five done, so watch out for more spontaneity coming real soon..
For years, improvisation was the only way I'd play. This track you've uploaded reminds me exactly why. The slightly effected sax is to die for, my man! Also, and more significantly, you've managed to avoid the trappings of most solo work - it doesn't sound like someone tossing off at all! Cheers.
Hi nOmad, I'm glad I don't sound like a tosser lol... I will have to grace my ears with some of your work. Anyone/everyone should improvise, ideas must come from somewhere.. Thanks for the review..

Description : There were two separate tracks in work, but who knows why I got tired with them and then decided to merge them (or at least what left from them) into one piece hence they originate out of same musical purpose. No worries...no world war was ment here, except my recent personal one...haha...and you don't want to know about it.:) It's not real etude by any means, yet it's quite alot about practicing...practicing...

Description : Again, another early production from like two years ago. I had a cheap little Yamaha acoustic guitar that I borrowed and mic'd and some congas that were given to me as a birthday present. I used my iPad GarageBand app to record the strings and the big bass drum thingy at the interlude and little electric guitar parts in there too haha. All the vocals were done by myself and my brother throws in some little things here and there with his voice :P Enjoy!
