This is a little song I threw together after experimenting with open G tuning. I wanted a strong resonance in the song and to build melodies and ideas around that. The last half of the song is entirely improvised. 

Écouteur

This is a song I wrote a good few years back that was originally for a full band, with the opening chords (the chorus) and bridge being distorted, the other sections clean. There's a heavy Slash influence to it with a big bluesy core. C A G E D are all chords used in the song.

I wanted an excuse to download Audacity on my laptop so I though I'd do some improvisational playing over a cheeky little backing track I found on Youtube. The backing track is in E and I'm flitting between the pentatonic blues and dorian scales in the key. I'm playing this on my Jacqueline, my beloved Jackson Dinky. As I said it's all improvised so I'm making it up on the spot so there are slight mistakes but I feel that kind of adds to the human nature of it all. It's much rawer this way.
