This is from the special waltz issue of Flatpicking Guitar Magazine

FGM Tennessee Waltz

Man In the Mirror (acoustic improv groove)

I recorded this one phrase at a time. After I learned each vocal line I tried to play it on the mando, and then record it. This is meant to be rough take as I even missed a few chords in the original rhythm track. In the end, I really like the overall vibe of this particular rough take. I feel if I were re-record it with better levels, more practice, and no missed chords I'd still like this one better :)
The song is, well, insane and speaks for itself. 

Love is an Open Mando

New Belle and the Band original! I think this one came out cool! 

LCS Masters

Till We Know Better

The most famous track off the 2007 Aaron O'Rourke trio Album!

John Stenson's #2

This was a lesson from Flatpicking Guitar Magazine's original fiddle tune issue.  I like my second pass.

FGM Cherokee Shuffle

This is an old recording I did of the Classic Floyd tune A Saucerful of Secrets. I overdubbed all the parts that you hear. I was really into David Gilmour at the time and wanted to document some of the effects I was messing around with. I did not have a mac then -- I used Cakewalk Pro Audio as the interface, a crappy Casio keyboard through an effects box, and a Mexican Strat with lots of saturation and slide.

Saucerful of Secrets

Here is one track with Kathryn Belle Long on vocals, Kevin Robertson on guitar, Mike Snelling on Bass, and myself on mandolin. The song was written by Kathryn and is for her "Belle and the Band" album.

"Seven Birds"

this is from a lesson for Flatpicking Guitar Magazine -- it goes through three passes of the classic "St. Anne's Reel"
it's not a real version per say, it's more of an excursion through the changes... 
here are the tabs:

FGM St. Anne's Reel

Here's a cool tune that Kathryn wrote for Belle and the Band.  I dig the overall chill feel and vibe of this take.
