Improvisation 001 -- Gibson J-45 Standard
October 6, 2024
This gentle guitar improvisation was a test drive of the Gibson J-45 Standard. The recording was made with the guitar plugged directly without external mics. In these turbulent times I hope you find the music calming and peaceful.
Paradise Lost
September 14, 2024
A few weeks ago, I laid down the synth sounds to this track using a Fishman TriplePlay Connect attached to a Stratocaster. This was really a lot of fun. I added the lead guitar track a couple of weeks later using one of the selections from a Fender Mustang LT-25. The cover pic was simply shot using an iPhone with the Classic Hipstamatic app with my own config for black and white frames.
A Work In Progress (May 2024)
May 18, 2024
This is a little piece I’ve been working on; I think it sounds peaceful and balanced on the Martin 000-15SM, a mahogany acoustic guitar. I picked this up used at https://www.rumbleseatmusic.com in Nashville. I’ve also been tinkering with a slide and different tunings on this guitar. Maybe I’ll share some of that in future videos.
Oh What a Savior (demo)
April 21, 2024
I wrote the first verse of this a couple of weeks back. I tinkered and toyed with it here and there as time allowed. Finally, this afternoon, I worked on it until it became what you hear in this video. I hope you like it.
Barefoot On the Grass
April 18, 2024
I started working on this song earlier this week. Different guitars inspire different ideas and I found myself enjoying this one on the resonator guitar. I recorded this using my iPhone; I hope you enjoy it! I’ll be working in the future to record more than a demo of it.
Amazing Grace
March 25, 2024
This is a small test drive of a Gretsch 9220 Resonator guitar with all mahogany body. Though it has a mic pickup, I mic’d it with a Shure SM-57. I am no sound engineer, but I felt like this simple recording came out nicely. I hope you enjoy this short demo.
Chasing Rainbows
March 24, 2024
Chasing Rainbows is an upbeat guitar instrumental recorded at home using a Guild mahogany guitar in front of a Shure 57 mic. I shot the photographs in Breckinridge County, Kentucky.

Until The Last Heartbeat
February 4, 2024
This guitar instrumental was recorded at my home. The rhythm guitar used was a Taylor 110e and the lead guitar used was an Epiphone PR5E/N Nylon stringed guitar. I used a Fernandez bass for the bass track. I dedicate this to my wife. I will continue to love you and cherish you until the last heartbeat…
