Some mellow music featuring my Les Paul guitar into a Greer Lightspeed pedal into my buddy's Tone King Royalist 15 amp.

Dwayne's Lightspeed Royal 15

Cranking my buddy's amp with my ISO cab (thanks Dwayne!)using an SM 57 mic. 
Kept the guitars raw - no pedals, no EQ, no FX.  Recorded one rhythm track each with a Les Paul, Strat and EVH 5150.  Did the soloing and most fills with the EVH.

Rockin Royalist

A little tune using a fun Vibe Machine pedal on all the instruments.

created this track using some loops and one-shots that came with Presonus Studio One.

Fly Up Your Loops

Made a little tune using the pattern editor on my recording software that I've never used before. Also features my little Greek baglama.

Future Retro Impact

Just a little clip of the song, Africa, by Toto, played with just guitars using a variety of tones.

Africa (guitar mini mix)

I recorded this one back in the day using Cakewalk Sonar. I used an Ibanez RV470, I believe, although I'm not sure what pickups I had in it at the time. I was always experimenting with different ones.

Ominous Cinematic Guitar

Compilation from band practice with some of my old bandmates from the Greek Band, Helios. Recorded on my Tascam portable digital recorder.
I played my old Zacharias Greek bouzouki.

Mellow guitar cover of the Counting Crows song Colorblind

Colorblind by Counting Crows - guitar-only cover version

I used one of the backing tracks that came with the HX Stop presets I bought from the terrific guitarist, Robbie Calvo, and recorded little lead guitar snippets with all the presets. I think it sounds great and wanted to share!

There are some guitarists who get a beautiful clear, smooth electric guitar sound - like Robben Ford and Larry Carlton.  Robbie gets a similar sound with his Line 6 Helix.  

I've got a Line 6 HX Stomp that uses the Helix technology and bought Robbie's blues presets, which also came with some fun backing tracks. I used the neck pickup on my Les Paul, which has Doyle Coil pickups and wiring in it. Check out Robbie's website: https://www.robbiecalvo.com/ and enjoy the little demo I put together.

Welcome! I love sharing the beauty of stringed instruments and hope you're uplifted by their sounds, too. Enjoy!
