These are a series of collaborations I've done with the wonderful singer/guitarist/songwriter AlyKat.  These tracks are a lot of fun to do with AlyKat and come out quite well.

As of December 2015, we have done enough to make up a CD, so this is now an "album" called Echoes of the Past and we now call our collaboration Creature Comforts.

This is an approach where having that high C string would come in handy...

My Favourite Dings

This is a collaboration between myself, Alykat, and Classic Rock.  AlyKat provided the lovely vocals, rhythm guitar, and synth.  Classic Rock provided the fantastic bassline.  The drum track is from a karaoke version.  I provided the guitar lead.

I played my Gibson LP with BB Pros through my Zoom G5 running a '59 Marshall amp sim.  The effect chain included reverb and delay.  

I learned the lead part from this awesome lesson.  Check it out if you are interested...he is a great teacher!

Guitar jam in B dorian

This is only the rough beginning of an idea of a song written for my dear friend, Cindy, who was killed on October 19, 2017, as she was struck by a car, crossing the street, on her way to catch a bus.

Rest in peace, my beloved friend. We will meet again......someday.
