This is a rough take from about 2009 when I was preparing my stuff for guitar studies... Actually it's a piece by Y.Malmsteen. The backing track was pitched high to normal guitar tuning (Mr Malmsteen usually uses E flat standard tuning) to play along woithout always tuning the strings down...
My equipment is pretty simple. The jamtrack goesthrough a cheap Amplifier while my Godin Freeway goes through a Hughes&Kettner transistor amp (15 watts exercise combo) and the slight distortion is pimped by my good old Yngwie Malmstten booster pedal.

Neoclassical guitar piece cover

This is my approach of an arrangement of "Caravan" for my band "Veranda Trio". Especially the bass groove with that beat music typeish flavour and the middle section composed in a neoclassical way (may be due to my early music influences, neoclassical rock). I didn't stick to the typical AABA-scheme though. . .

Karavane (orig. arrangement of "Caravan" swing classic)

During my preparations for Musikhochschule in 2008 (pre studies) I once came up with this little version of a track by a famos jazz guitarist...

Meeres song (cover, around 2008)

I wrote that tune 2008 dedicated to my wife I met then. Me and my band Veranda Trio performed that track in T. Weise's studio in 2009. Thanks for that

Herbstliebe (Dobro instrumental by Veranda Trio)

This is just the direct pure recording from one of our recent concerts.
Ian Little (ukulele, harp, vocals), Jan Haasler (Dobro), Robert Römer (percussions), Marco Beisler (Bass). Ian wrote many songs on his own but there are also interpretations of older and modern folk/roots songs.
We played more stuff than intended. But that's how we came up this night in "Offene Arbeit" Erfurt at their big ball room....

Pelican Rex (live) 2017

This is our first song we ever wrote in 2008. In a new fashion and with new energy we recorded it in 2017 at RAW studio with the great guy Tom (sound technician).

Utz Tayert (5 string Deering Bano)
Peter David (Double Bass)

Away by Veranda Trio

This is the latest live recording of my old song "Slave to your love" or "I'm a slave". This time performed with my Erfurt based Band "Pelican Rex". Thanks for all supporters.

Slave To Your Love (Live in KuGi Schöneiche 2017)

This is the live performance of Ian Little's song "By the end of the day" with our Erfurt based band "Pelican Rex" at a wonderful gig in Schöneiche near Berlin.
I used the Oud to introduce and later accompany the song...

By The End Of The Day (live 2017) by Ian Little

This tune turned out by experimenting with a capo letting the high e- and b-string unfretted by the capo... interesting sounds combined with Standard fingerings came out (similar to DADgad but then so diefferent).
I just just Flatpicking with a plectrum here.

It is dedicated to those, who Need to struggle coping with their live challenges (like every one of us..).

Bleib' dran - Stick it up (original by Jan Haasler)
