My first (Myspace) clips - with a Jazzmaster I bought on TGP

Hi all -

I spend most of my TGP time getting schooled and occasionally chiming in over at the Playing and Technique forum. My first time stepping up here ...

Two songs from my debut record, just off the press:

"Guiding Light" is my favorite. I used a Custom Shop JM I bought from teddys at the Emporium that I've come to love. Can you ID the Gatton tune I subconsciously ripped off for the bars that go into 5/4?

"Clinton Hill" is everyone else's favorite. Acoustic guitar (Taylor 710), tabla, and bass.

Happy New Year!

Too kind ultravex - you picked up on so many of my influences, and maybe uncovered a few I didn't know I was going for (twang noir!). Television is a huge favorite - I do two "indie rock" covers from the 90s as instrumentals on the record since that is a huge part of where I come from.

And you inspired me to shamelessly add a plug for my CD to my sig ...

Check out these wonderful lessons from Television alum Richard Lloyd:

Thanks so much.

 

Lucid, DK, Dickie, Realfi -

thanks for the good vibe!

 

In 5/4, no less! It played itself, I tell you. There's a sample if you follow the link in my sig.

Pleased to meet a fellow NMH fan. I guess I'm marketing to a pretty narrow demographic with that one, but those who get it get it. I figure this record is a love letter to my years in college radio, and that song is so iconic for that era.

Thanks Woody and Antero!
