This is something I came up with about a year ago. I suppose I could revisit it if someone out there wishes to expand on it with me. Enjoy! :D

Metal 1

This is a blues/funk piece I made up a while ago. I played both the rhythm and the lead guitar tracks and bass. I was considering adding drums but never got around to it.

Blue Paradise

This is a bit of a ballad that I've been working on. It's nowhere close to complete, but here it is anyway. Enjoy!

Ballad

This was my attempt at triple tracking a solo line. Naturally, my first choice was the classic "Crazy Train", played by the late, great Randy Rhoads. Anyway, after researching how he would triple track all of his solos, I thought I'd give that and the mixing element of it a shot. Since I was lazy, it's just the opening phrase of the solo, lol

Crazy Train Solo Experiment

Okay, this is an oldie but a goodie. This is the FIRST guitar piece I ever wrote. I wrote this song my senior year of high school. It was written for a friend of mine I happened to have a bit of a crush on at the time....but nothing ever became of it. (LONG story...) Anyway, this recording is as old as the song itself. Enjoy!

Jeanette

Here's something a little more recent. This is the opening theme I made for the animated series 'Stronger'. (A friend of mine wrote the show and I did the music and a bit of voice acting on it. Seriously, go look it up on YouTube.) This piece is actually a shortened instrumental version of a song my brother wrote. (I may actually post the original version later....) At any rate, I played everything on this track BUT drums. (I could have done it, but I had my brother do it.)

Stronger Opening Theme

This is a diminished arpeggio I often times like to play. I recorded this as "transition music" for the show 'Stronger.'

Diminished Arpeggio 1

I'm going back to the archives again with this... This was recorded as a sound check during a rehearsal with my first band Red Horizon. We were going to record some stuff, but this was about as much as we got..... Funny how I got to be the lab rat for this one. Ha! Oh well, I didn't mind shredding for a minute!

The Psycho

Just another diminished arpeggio I did for 'Stronger.'
