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.

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…
New Music Coming
November 26, 2023
I am excited to say that soon you can purchase, and stream, a couple of new guitar instrumentals. Lend an ear and take the new tunes for a spin on your favorite service. I know they are very different styles! What can I say? I love playing and experimenting. I hope you enjoy them as much as I did making playing and recording them. December 4 -- 1978 will be available.
Last Summer Thrill

This is a guitar instrumental demo recorded at home using a Gretsch Streamliner in Logic Pro X. This recording is comprised of 3 tracks: drums via the Logic Pro X drummer, a Fernandes bass track I played, and finally the Gretsch Streamliner. I hope you like it!!!
Autumn Calls
October 21, 2023
A slight chill eases into the evening air. Leaves drift sharing their color all around while evenings fill with the crackling of old wood in the fire-pit. This short acoustic guitar track was something I noodled today that made me think of Autumn. Lucas our Labrador makes his first music debut in the early seconds of the track. I hope you like. 😀
1978
October 5, 2023
This is a guitar demo using a 1978 Ibanez PF100 (shown in the photo) plugged into a Korg G3 processor. I had fun laying down the bass and guitar tracks. I hope you like!!!
Slowin' Down
March 9, 2021
I’d like to be slowing down much of the time so that I could enjoy the little things in life. Like so many of us, I find myself pulled in a number of directions trying to keep it all moving in the right direction. I’d like to practice what I preach, but in honesty, the only slowing down I might do today would be to share this track! This is a simple instrumental with a little vocal harmony near the end; I recorded it at home using Logic Pro X, a Focusrite 18i8, a tele custom, and a Shure SM58; I hope you like it.
