An Improvisation over a backing track found on youtube….   for practice, and an excuse to bitch about how crappy my playing is . neoclassical thing, supposedly in the style of Randy Rhoads (yeah right, like i could ever play like that…..  ) 

Neoclassicalwank

Another attempt to reignite my musical leanings….      Credit to Zakk wylde for the inspiration….   the underlying backing track is hacked about , extended version of a youtube backing of his "farewell ballad"    the rest, is me playing with myself ;) Ibanez S series custom, Focusrite Forte interface,  Scuffham Amps Plug in, Logic 9 that's all folks….  

Something New

An "own interpretations" cover of the satriani track , as a duet with StuTrol  ( https://www.facebook.com/stutrol?fref=ts ) .  still a work in progress, but getting there….      so here's a teaser,   it's not mixed yet….  this is just the working basis so far….   

Echo "loose cover"

random youtube backing track ,  improvisation first and only take....   to cheer up my pal Martin Walker......  consider this a combined "cheer up , hope things  improve, and  best wishes card"  

Cheer Up Martin

another "cheer you up" track......   just because...…      I found this backing track on youtube randomly…..  it came from Guitar Playbacks ,  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xfY8JeCpKLc

Apocalypse Live @Cellar 2016

My first touch of a guitar after my surgery on my left hand/wrist  14 days ago.   Using Andy James's "Time and Time Again"  backing track,  from Jam track Central ,  to inspire me to explore how things feel,  what i can do , what i can;t do, YET..... and what i need to work on .   this is a one take wonder,  inspired by Andy's genius,  but by no means intended to be a cover.....  there's no way i can manage that YET......    ;)  than you SO much Andy ! 

Thanks Andy TATA First Touch

Using the god like Andy James's Jam track central backing for "Eyes of the world" as a frame work to start rebuilding my playing after surgery on my left hand this july.    here's the first attempt .....   struggling with musical inspiration for melody,  probably coz i have a full on dose of man flu,  but am determined to start work on my playing.     next attempt may take some licks from Andy's instructional repertoire...   this was a base line "no new tricks"  to see how the hand worked. 

Eyes Of The World (Variation)

Work in progress,     a personal challenge to master Andy James's JTC track "Time and Time again"  but do so playing a harmony to his original......       part of the process of working on getting my playing back in to shape after my hand/wrist surgery this july.....    there's bits of the harmony i need to revisit,  and there's two sections of speed work i have yet to manage to get even nearly right.....   (consequently my part is blank there ) but THAT is the challenge....
