Moose the Mooche

This is an old song I have been working on for a long time. I recently re-amped the guitar part with the Axe-fx and added the tasteful keyboard parts by Ben Martin-Peddey.

Chords (with Ben Martin-Peddey)

Hi - this is just an excerpt of me playing an excerpt from the Kurt Elling tune "Where I Belong" through the axe-fx.

Amp model: "TX Clean" (aka Lonestar) 
Spkr cab:  F150 1x12 Shadow Mix (TAF) 

( I tried a lot of different cabs, but this one works best for me - it's actually the C90 cab that's meant for the Lonestar)

I Remember You (Solo Guitar)

This is an old track which I just migrated over from Myspace. I actually recorded this way back around 1998 !
It's a solo guitar arrangement of "Heard it through the Grapevine" with a smidge of MIDI thrown in. I played it on my Gibson 335


Grapevine

This is me, jamming on Donna Lee, using Amplitube for iPad
The whole track was produced on an iPad, except for some final editing in Samplitude.
The sound quality isn't ideal, but it is an interesting experiment to try to produce good results using only an iPad and a guitar. 

The iRig guitar interface is quite noisy and also has trouble with hot signals from active pickups. Maybe the new iRig HD (which has its own 2496 ADC built-in) will be a better way of getting guitar audio into an iPad. I also find the latency to be rather distracting, as even a very slight delay can be detrimental to your timing for Jazz and Bebop.
 
The Head and solos were played on the Ibanez af207bs and the Rythm part was played on the sc607b tuned down to a minor 3rd to A-flat (Ab,Db,Gb,B,E,Ab,Db).



Donna Lee

This is a recording of me Jamming on "Donna Lee"

This tune has been an obsession of mine for years - hoping to get into the studio soon to record it properly. The guitar is an Ibanez AF-207bs. 

Of course the song is by Charlie Parker, and the Play-Along track is from "All Bird" by Jamey Aebersold.


Donna Lee Jam with JA

I studied Jazz for quite a while, but I also love Prog Rock and Metal ...
