I wrote this on my Roland GR-30 Guitar Synth quite a few years ago and recorded it on an audio tape recorder, hence the hiss. While I love the sound of piano, I haven't ever gotten around to learning how to play one.  The guitar synth allows me to at least get close to the sound of the beauty of a piano, etc. All of the sounds on this track came from the Roland GR-30, except the nylon guitar string solo and bass drum beat.

This piece was played on a Kohno Pro-J classical guitar tuned in DADGAD. It won an honor award in the International Songwriting Competition (Instrumental Category) and will appear on my next solo CD due out in 2014.

I have been playing guitar for many years now. In my teens, I was drawn to learning lead rock guitar and taught myself how to play at 14 years old. After playing lead guitar in several different working Minneapolis weekend rock and blues bands, fingerstyle guitar really caught my attention in my early 30's, and it is now my passion. I love the feeling when I hear a song in my head that wants to be born. It is when the writing comes almost effortlessly and I feel that the song has been "given" to me, that is the most rewarding. 

My influences are all over the map. I love it all!!  

The songs on this page were written by me. The guitars used are a Taylor 314ce and Godin nylon string guitars. The piano and synth sounds etc., were triggered via a midi guitar into either a Roland GR30 or a Roland JV-2080 sound module. A Yamaha AG Stomp was used for amplification and reverb.
