This is a full version of the song, recorded in a practice studio in Brunswick with the band Left at Greenland.

After Going to California (Live Rehearsal)

Recently I have been composing rather complex instrumentals, so to take a break from all the time signature changes and major ninth chords I decided to write a three chord song. Actually this song has five, but who's counting!  I'm playing all the instruments and using Logic Pro X from start to finish.

The Middle Road - First Mix

I actually wrote and recorded this over a year ago but didn't upload it because I wasn't happy with how the drum track came out. Anyway, it was kind of fun to write something using jazz chords. I wrote it with my flame coloured Gretsch G6120 in mind.


(You're) Not Mine (first mix)

This song is in DADGAD tuning, or alternate Dsus4 tuning. I wrote and recording it some months ago but finally got around to mixing it properly!

Autumn Song Remix

This is a short piece I composed for my guitar lesson as an exercise in creating different voicings on the bottom four strings, but it ended up taking a life of its own.

Experiment In Open Strings Remix

This is probably the most ambitious track I've composed with its changing time signatures and syncopation, and it seemed to take forever to write, record, rewrite, rerecord, mix, remix (etc). I couldn't give up on it because there was something about that third section. Greg Trotter plays the electric guitars here (his Gibson Explorer) while I cover the acoustic parts on the Cole Clark.

Perspectives

In late November 2014 I attended a classical guitar recital at the School of Music at Indiana University with my sister in law, Donna (who is classical and flamenco guitarist herself). When I got home in December, I decided I might try to give this genre a go, and on Christmas Day 2014 I composed the bulk of this tune. Greg Trotter helped with some of the arranging and then performed and recorded it for me as I don't have the equipment to record nylon string guitars at home. It's fairly conventional but I enjoyed working on it.

Guitar Duet In Am

Take Me Now was written in my lounge room but was arranged, recorded and produced by https://soundcloud.com/malcolm-connell, using Reason. A great first collaboration!

Take Me Now - Malx Mix

Malx couldn't leave well enough alone, and I'm glad he didn't!
