From my days as
a musician...
1) The recording is a little rough (as is the performance), but this is a
piece I have been working on for a while...gypsy crossed with flamenco and
Jimmy-Page-styled Celtic...
Guitar Suite
Guitar Suite, Second Movement
Guitar Suite, Third Movement
Guitar Suite, Fourth Movement
Guitar Suite, Fifth Movement
2) An old piece...my attempt to imagine, in terms of heavy guitar
feedback, the "Farewell happy fields" speech of Satan from book 1 of
Paradise Lost.
Fall from Grace
3) Another old
instrumental...a guitar ballad in the Santana tradition
Cry for No One
4) Two guitars--one acoustic, one electric. A pseudo-Spanish piece.
No Me Toques
5) This one is a really
basic two-chord garage-punk thing, very rough, but the guitar player (who
is all of about 19 at the time) has just recently discovered the sheer joy
of velocity.
Say Something Nice
to Me
6) An old song from my pre-academic career. Guitar (me), bass, drums, lead
singer. Hard rock with a heavy bass riff...
Open Up My Eyes
7) Another old song...same band, even heavier bass riff. Hendrix crossed
with Parliament/Funkadelic, or some such thing.
Truth
8) Same band, more of a Santana/Al DiMeola feel to the guitar. Hard
rock/Spanish pop?
She's What I Need
9) Another one...guitar solo in the middle is vaguely Indian or Middle
Eastern. The drum work on this one was always my favorite part, though.
Confusion
10) Last one. No more, I say! The vocals on this are all over the map
sometimes (he had a tendency to flat when he over emoted...and he over
emoted a lot). But the guitar at the beginning, and then the bass/drums
combo throughout still works well.
Questions
11) OK, I lied. One more. More
heavy bass and guitar...
Don't Play With My Heart
12) One more piece. An all-acoustic retake of the basic idea behind #4 above (I like this one better)...
Three Guitars
13) And yet another. Variations composed on Jimmy Page's Bron-Y-Aur.
Bron-Y-Aur Variations
14) Variations composed on Jimmy Page's Kashmir.
Kashmir Variations
15) Another guitar suite, in four parts.
La Guitarra Ardiente
Part 2 of the above...
La Guitarra Ardiente, La Segunda Parte
Part 3...
La Guitarra Ardiente, La Tercera Parte
Part 4...
La Guitarra Ardiente, La Cuarta Parte
16) Like the title says...
Totally Self-Indulgent Guitar Solo
17) And another...
Midnight Mass with Electric Guitar
18) And another still...
Morning Song
19) A reworked/remixed version of the above...
Morning Song (Redux)
20) Variations very loosely based on Jimmy Page's Black Mountain Side.
Black Mountain Side Variations
21) Agressive and vaguely prog-metally....
Release
22) More agressive and vaguely prog-metally stuff....
Redemption
23) Vaguely Middle-Eastern sounding metal track...
Renewal (Samadhi)
24) Self-explanatory, really...
Grunge in D
25) Another Jimmy Page-style acoustic piece...
Light and Shade
26) An Al Di Meola crossed with Soundgarden exercise...
Spanish Grunge
