LIVE 152 • Persistence (Original Guitar Instrumental)

From the vaults, here’s a guitar instrumental called “Persistence.”  All of the parts were tracked as you hear them; none of the parts were sped up and I recall that all ‘layered parts’ and harmonies were multi tracked ‘one at a time.’  While not usually a fan of excessive stereo panning and movement, I do like the interplay here of the stereo ‘back and forth’ towards the end.  Persistence originally appeared on a project called Positivity that was in part a collection of demos and song ideas.  Hope you enjoy.

LIVE 150 • Sin Qua Non (Electric Guitar Harmony)

From the vaults, here’s an electric guitar driven song called “Sin Qua Non.”  I recall writing and tracking this song over a number of months – probably all done on an Ibanez 7 string guitar.  All of the parts were tracked as you hear them; none of the parts were sped up and I recall that all the lead / melodic harmonies were multi tracked with the possible exception of some parts of the ‘heavy horses’ interludes.  Sin Qua Non originally appeared on a project called Positivity that was in part a collection of demos and song ideas.  Hope you enjoy.

Recorded with an Ibanez 7 string guitar, with a double locking tremolo.  

LIVE 139 • Slow Funk Fun

Today’s song from the vaults is Slow Funk Fun, which starts off slowly with a quizzical theme but picks up speed as it moves along, culminating with some driving harmonized guitar riffs.  Slow Funk Fun originally appeared on a project called Positivity that was in part a collection of demos and song ideas.  I don’t recall where I got the idea for Slow Funk Fun or what made me decide to record it, but listening back now it’s kind of an interesting piece.  Hope you enjoy.
