Embark on a musical journey with Session #325, featuring a dynamic mix of guitar tracks recorded with the Yamaha RSP02T. This session showcases a variety of tones and styles, from classic covers of the Allman Brothers Band and Thin Lizzy to playful improvisations and rock renditions of classical pieces.

Starting from Track #2, I incorporated the UAD Teletronix JJ Blues Guitar, UAD Helios Type 69 Legacy / Summer of '69, UAD Realverb-Pro Jazz Club, and UAD Studer A800 Blues-7 to enrich the tone. These effects added a warm, vintage feel perfect for the blues and classic rock tracks.

For Tracks #3 and #4, I introduced a touch of RAW Distortion to give a slightly grittier edge, enhancing the energy of the pieces.

From Tracks #8 through #10, I switched to a different set of effects: UAD Fairchild 660 RW Electr GTR, UAD Pultec EQP DI Guitar Warmer (adjusted to lower lows since the RSP02T boosts mids), UAD Realverb Jazz Club, and UAD Oxide Type Warm Elect Guitar. This setup provided a richer, more electrified sound ideal for the rock covers and the more aggressive playing style.

Finally, for Track #11, I adjusted the reverb preset to a Small Bright Room, giving the piece a crisp, intimate finish.

Join me in exploring the depth and breadth of guitar music with the Yamaha RSP02T, where each track offers something unique and engaging for guitar enthusiasts.

Session #325

Session #326 is all about good vibes, classic rock, and some serious guitar work! Starting with a smooth "Blue Sky Warmup" and rolling into a tribute to the Allman Brothers Band, this setlist is packed with jams, riffs, and iconic covers. From "Mountain Jam" to "Whipping Post," and a nod to Thin Lizzy’s "Bad Reputation," I’ve thrown in a mix of warmups, riffs, and some of my favorite classic rock anthems. The session closes with the epic "Canon Rock" by Jerry C to bring it all home.

Session #326

One unfiltered practice reel that captures it all: laid-back “Blue Sky” warm-ups, live tuning quirks, free-flow jams, a dive into JerryC’s “Canon Rock,” and a bold swing at Judas Priest’s “Painkiller.” Expect clean major-key licks, crunchy riffing, and the raw in-the-room vibe that only a straight-to-tape session can deliver.

Session #327

A casual, keep-the-tape-rolling practice reel focused almost entirely on Blue Öyster Cult’s classic “Don’t Fear the Reaper.” From loose riff sketches and half-built solo lines to random warm-up noise and a few “one-take-only” crashes, this is pure behind-the-scenes guitar woodshedding—mistakes, repeats, and the occasional magic included.

Session #328

 
Welcome to an unfiltered look into a real guitarist's practice session. This 28-track collection captures the authentic experience of guitar practice - complete with the frustrations, breakthroughs, and everything in between that every musician knows too well.

  What You'll Hear:
  This session kicks off with the brutally honest "Boring Tuning" and "Not this dumb song again" - because let's face it, we've all been there. These warm-up tracks showcase the reality that not every practice moment is glamorous, but every moment builds skill.

  Featured Covers & Classics:
  - Thin Lizzy Deep Cuts: "Cowboy Song" and "Black Rose" - exploring the twin guitar mastery that defined hard rock
  - JerryC's "Canon Rock" - The internet guitar phenomenon that inspired countless players
  - Freddie King's "Hide Away" - Pure blues mastery from the Texas legend
  - Allman Brothers Band's "Blue Sky" - Southern rock perfection with intricate lead work

  Original Compositions:
  The session features multiple arrangements of "Three Dimensional" by Kyle Abent, showcasing how one composition evolves through Lead, Rhythm, and AltLead perspectives. Listen for the progression from initial exploration to refined interpretation.

  The Practice Reality:
  You'll hear honest practice moments - the repeated attempts, tone experiments, and problem-solving that define real musical development. Tracks like "Whatever" capture those sessions where you're working through technical challenges, not performing for an audience.

  For Fellow Musicians:
  Whether you're a bedroom guitarist, studio professional, or weekend warrior, this session offers insight into the unglamorous but essential work behind musical growth. Every guitarist recognizes these moments of struggle and breakthrough.

  This isn't polished performance content - it's the raw material that builds musical skill. Perfect for background listening while practicing, studying guitar techniques, or simply appreciating the honest journey of musical development.

Beware, don't buy a Universal Audio Twin X Duo. Don't buy a Macbook just for it. Why? Because even after an exchange, each device will result in this ground loop. Static. They say "We're the best". Yet they can't get rid of the noise. What a joke.

This "song" is a horrible mess and I love it.
It's a combination of three songs: New Friend, Jet Engine, Whatever else I don't even know at this point.

I had these songs dated and time stamped. So I know
which they are on my local drive. However, for you the person
the listner. All you hear is a jumbled mess.


Well, that's because you're listeing on mono. This is designed
for: Left, Center, Right. 

At-least, my attempt. As I am aware of the current arrangement
is a mess. Hence the song title. But, do you understand
how much work is required for a three guitar track? two 
guitar track?

Each arrangement must speak to one another. Each 
note must be transcribed and 100% playable. This notation
is just a playthrough to see the current feel.

As I made some adjustments. I need to play to make some more.
Now that I've played I see where I can adjust.
Places that have too fast transition. Notes that
don't make sense. Notes I can't hit.

Now I can adjust for next time!

Oh yeah it's also dumb there's a possible humming sound chance
based on if I have my tablet[recording device] socketed to power. Kinda dumb and easy to forget such as the first 2 or 3
tracks until remember. UGGHSFHASHAHDF

AHHHHHH
