    All Acoustic guitar album

    Actually it wasnt too time consuming creating them. I would set my guitar to an open tuning and just fiddle around making chord shapes, then a progression and then record it. Depending on the chords and how they sounded dictated what scale/mode to use. Mixing them always takes some time. I am...

    "The Water Is Wide" Celtic solo guitar

    Yah I like this very much. A little louder in my right speaker, but so what! Very good playing and phrasing. Tone of guitar beautiful to my ears.

    The Wasabi effect

    I like this....really moves....Reminds me of a theme to a code blue police cam or some action show in the beginning, then it mellows out half way thru. Nice music for a movie. Nice lead guitar parts. Pretty unique.

    All Acoustic guitar album

    I havent been on here in a long time, so I thought I would share some acoustic guitar songs I recorded from about 2017 till 2020 or so. These were recorded with an old Fender steel string acoustic and an old Yamaha nylon string classical. Microphones were large diaphragm condensers into ART tube...

    Some open tuning themes/tunes acoustic guitar

    A TOUGH one! Hahahaha Sounds good. We have a Strat somewhere around here but I never use it. I have found the SOUND of nylon strings just sounds and records better than steel for some reason. The way I do it is I always use 2 mics.....of the same kind. Condenser mics....I have a set of AKG...

    Some open tuning themes/tunes acoustic guitar

    Wow I forgot what the theme to that show sounded like!!!! I am too lazy these days to compose regular, arranged songs!!!!! I have thought about doing the theme to "Green acres" but I am not much of a country player although I like the tune. What do you use to record? Guitar, amp?

    Here is a collection of themes I recorded using different open tunings on 2 separate guitars. Rhythm guitar is steel string Fender acoustic. The lead guitar is old Yamaha classical nylon string. The music is more thematic sounding in structure as opposed to a regular structured song. I wrote...

    [Orchestral] Chronicles of My Past

    Hi, this is very good! I am impressed! I have tried my hand at doing orchestral scores, but not too big. I use mostly strings, oboe, flute, bassoon, piano. The only difference is I tend to write in modes of harmonic major and minor. This tune you played is beautiful with nice changes and great...

    New acoustic guitar album

    I had good luck recording my classical nylon string guitar with a single CHEAP-O MXL condenser mic. For some reason, these cheap mics work VERY well. I put mic close to 12th fret somewhere between 4" and 6".....keeping an eye on levels. The trick is to get a GOOD raw track down. Then after that...

    New acoustic guitar album

    Just a quick update....I changed/added some new material. OK now the technical details. I recorded this music mostly using a Fender acoustic guitar. I used a KORG D888 digital recorder using 2 tracks per guitar. The microphones were 2 AKG P170 condenser mics in an X-Y position. The mics were...
