I wrote and recorded this in Iran in about 3 hrs...It was a rough night where I had a lot on my mind and I couldn't sleep... so I picked up the guitar I had borrowed from a friend and limited equipment I had and just played what I was feeling at the moment. I recommend listening with headphones in to get the full audio quality. COMPLETELY IMPROVISED DURING RECORDING PROCESS, EACH TRACK WAS DONE AS FIRST AND FINAL IMPROVISATIONAL TAKE.

History Repeats

Found a slow blues backing track and improvised a one take blues solo and one take vocals over it for fun while I'm sitting around practicing on new years.

new years blues (Improvisational tune)

This was the first thing I did when I came home from the orthopedist telling me that I needed to see a specialist and get surgery to reattach my tricep tendon in my left arm, and telling me I wouldn't be able to pick up a guitar after surgery for probably about 4-5 months....

This was literally recorded with the triceps tendon of my fretting hand, completely un-attached, and my only ability to have range of motion at al from a small muscle in the fore-arm called the anconeus that compensated for the torn triceps tendon, allowing me to record this despite the indescribable pain it caused me to do so, purely because I had no idea if I'd ever be able to play guitar again after that surgery and wanted to get in one last hoorah so to speak before the surgery.

The above is a link to a music video that I created 4 years ago for this track and put on youtube.

This is for a movie scene idea...imagine a man and a women in love and running towards each other in slow motion, while the world around them is crazed and war torn keeping them apart...or something of that sort.

Please listen with headphones in, you will hear all the details. I did almost everything with different guitars, and than added some piano and strings using an old keyboard of mine. This was done in a night on the spur of a moment years ago. 

Scattered in Motion (Soundtrack idea)

I wrote and transcribed this when I was 16 years old...originally for guitar, and influenced by the Paganini Caprices. This is 100% my composition and copyrighted. I had several recordings of myself performing this piece on guitar that were unfortunately lost along with hundreds of other songs when that computer crashed. Hope you enjoy.

The solo is all improvised...but just trying out my new cordoba...loving it.

Thank you everyone! 

I literally did this the night I bought that Cordoba, just for fun, in like 30 minutes max with garageband and my zoom h4n at the time. 

I'm truly grateful that so many of you have enjoyed this improvisational tune I posted. 

If I get enough requests, or anyone is interested in a serious manner, I would LOVE to record a written romantic flamenco guitar album, and classical guitar album,  where I actually have written and transcribed everything and professionally recorded it all...as opposed to what I had done with this improvisational piece that I recorded so many years ago in 30 minutes or so (literally just coming up with a quick chord structure to improvise over with a basic drum loop from garageband). 

Thank you everyone, and so happy to all that enjoy this improvisational tune. 
Much Love
To my fellow Irani...Kheyli khoshaal shodam, va Hamaye kheyli lotft konand!

Persian/Armik/Flamenco style song idea of mine

What I came up with real quick for tonight, I wrote some lyrics, sort of james taylor style. I'll finish the song and do it right when I have more time.

Acoustic song idea w:o vocals

This is just a quick little attempt at making a rock anthem version of Fly Eagles Fly for my fellow Philadelphia Eagles Fans, and our city of Brotherly love to rock out with during Eagles Games, events, and victories.

I did this in about 10 minutes. 

If everyone enjoys this, than I'll be more than happy to REALLY write a version of Fly Eagles Fly that we can rock out to that would trump how the redwings and Detroit fans rock out to Journey!

I'd also love to create a song for the Flyers, for when they score a goal. If I get enough fan support, and the franchise is into the idea...I will create a Flyers Goal Celebration Song that will stick, for the ages, and will make every Philadelphia Flyers Fan truly all unanimously LOVE the song our franchise plays each time our team scores a goal. Something that every opposing team will dread hearing, and their fans will WISH their team had as their goal celebrating song. 

GO EAGLES, GO FLYERS!

FLY EAGLES FLY - ROCK ANTHEM

These are pretty much all improvisations tunes...and some quick song ideas, that I've done here and there in my past with the intent of capturing those specific moments, sort of like a music journal. Some are conceptual song ideas that if people spread and gain support, I'd would really take my time and write. 

There are no songs on here that I really spent more than 30 minutes or so recording.
