Guitar Jams and Instrumentals

An instrumental track from guitarist Michael Hidinger. The guitar parts were recorded with a Line 6 Variax 300: the first section uses a Rickenbacker 12 string model ("Chime"); the second  section uses the Les Paul model ("Lester") with some serious FX; the guitar solo uses the Coral Sitar guitar model (one of the "Reso" models).

It was recorded in 2006 and received some airplay at Radio Paradise.

Floating Without a Permit

Magic Triangle

A guitar instrumental with a psychedelic vibe. I'm playing my Line 6 Variax 300 in the Les Paul Junior modeling setting through a Line 6 Floor POD using the Vowelizer preset.

Eddie Van Halen was the biggest influence on me when it came to playing hard rock guitar.

The Mushrooms Kick In

A mellow instrumental jam. The lead guitar parts were played on a Line 6 Variax 300 set to the "Semi" setting that models a Gibson ES-335.

An instrumental guitar jam recorded in January of 2017. I'm playing my Charvel through the "Satch Flange" preset on my Line 6 Spider IV amp.

I played lead guitar for 5 songs on the 1994 Dustin Bonz album: "Yesterday's Gone", "Wing 'n' a Prayer" (except for Bob Cady's solo at 2:14-2:37), "Sunday Morning", "October Soul" and "Blue Skies".

Funk #1 Jam (Version 1)

A mellow, ambient instrumental that was recorded in the summer of 1990. Andy Summers of The Police is one of my biggest influences as a guitarist and it clearly shows on this tune. 

I'm playing my 1986 Japanese Fender Stratocaster. The effects pedals I used are an Arion Stereo Chorus and an Arion DDS-1 Digital Delay/Sampler.

There's a bass solo in the last section of the song that also uses the Arion Stereo Chorus pedal.

I Thought I Was Rain

A guitar instrumental recorded in 2006. I used the Fender Stratocaster setting ("Spank") on my Line 6 Variax 300 to record the guitar parts. 

The song is in 6/4 time and my playing was influenced by Pink Floyd's David Gilmour.

Funk #1 Jam (Version 2)

A guitar instrumental recorded in the fall of 1990 at Berklee College of Music. I'm playing my roommate's Telecaster and using his wah-wah pedal too (G. Elroy McMullen for those who know him).
The keyboard parts were played on a Casio SK-1 and I don't remember what kind of drum machine was used (it was my roommate's as well). The Casio SK-1 was mine though.
