This might be one of Tommy's easiest songs. And it still had me sweating. Listen to Tommy talking about this song to see the beauty of it's composition:

I still need to improve the fluidity, learn a better way to record guitars. But I had to start somewhere. :)

Angelina-Tommy Emmanuel Cover

Written by John D. Loudermilk and made popular by Chet Atkins. I am playing Tommy Emmanuel's interpretation. I learnt Travis picking through this song.

Windy And Warm- Tommy Emmanuel Cover

One of the toughest tracks for me till now. It requires really high precision, hence I mess up a bunch of times. This is how its supposed to be done: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w_UZpxPWaaA

Drivetime - Tommy Emmanuel Cover

Lesson of the day: Do not change to a higher gauge strings on the day you record. 
The Original: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oUoxlagDVlo

Pink Panther - Tommy Emmanuel Cover

A pretty expressive track. 
TIL: Acoustic blues sound better with thicker strings.  
I used BIAS FX to provide some Reverb, Compression, and Acoustic Amp rendering.

King Kong Goes To Tallahassee: Bruce Cockburn Cover

Back home in India after more than a year! The first thing I saw was this Bhutanese Singing Bowl, bought 4 summers ago. So I tried sketching up what I could with it in a day.
The beats are inspired from Snarky Puppy's recent Tiny Desk concert, where they used 3/4 poly-rhythm. I used 4/5 and 4x4 bars that left me confused.

Indian Summers

This track sounded like a battle theme song in my head. And what better to fight for than your food.

Don't Mess with my Ramen

Falling

T'is what it is. Just a guitar looped, in the style of Sean Angus Watson. He does it much better, do check him out!

Sometimes Good'ol major pentatonic is fun!

PBOPT

Someone else beat me to this lame name, but whatever.
This was going to be about floating sea otters but got a bit intense. Yikes!
Just moving around A# Maj with 'open-chords' structures which I got to know about from @horacebray.

Etude Brutus

"Rukawat". For non-desi bois, "Rukawat" translates to a pause from the normal course of life (well not quite, but...). Sometimes, we are just waiting, biding our time away waiting for things to happen. But should we?

Rukawat

A mess on top of Sehnsucht - Dario Lessing. The original is really nice and soothing.
Also I used sooo much of Native Instruments Raum (on everything; I hope its a phase).

Mess on top of Sehnsucht - Dario Lessing

Experimentation is currently the leitmotif of life. Trying to absorb Game and exp. 
music. 
Also learning Emmanuel-esque Guitaring..
