Much of the guitar music I have recorded over the years are instrumentals, often with some kind of drum track and bass guitar. Some have become songs with lyrics, many seem to be waiting for that transformation.
The Devil Dog Dances (2020)
Guitar, Bass, Drums.
Duration: 3:29
This song works best on headphones with your eyes closed imagining the Devil Dog doing his delirious doggie dance. Played on a 1966 Burns Baby Bison Guitar and 1967 Burns Baby Bison Bass. And that Wah pedal. Recorded in 2020.
A Jaguar with Horns (2015)
Guitar, Bass, Horns, Drums
Duration: 5:01
A Jaguar with Horns is a recording with the Fender Jaguar, the guitar I have had for a majority of my life and the one I have recorded with and played the most. After completing the music for this upbeat song I was listening to some horn loops and after some experimentation this has become the official version of the song. Performed and recorded in 2013, final mix 2018.
The Bloomingdale Parade
Guitar, Bass, Drums
Duration: 3:27
The Bloomingdale Parade was produced and recorded around 2004 and remixed in 2015. It has an easy going almost jazzy feeling, driven by a simple bass line, and is unlike anything else I have done. This one came to me pretty spontaneously. The instrument are Fender Jaguar Guitar, unknown bass and some drum tracks. I have used parts of this songs in some of my film soundtracks. It is also one of the shortest and most compact of the instrumentals I was doing at that time.
