I haven’t written a new piece, in a while, for many reasons, but I’ve also been improvising a lot.I finally started writing a new piece:) It’s very much a work in progress, but I’m happy with most of it, so far.I’m using a Holzer Guitar (with Stringjoy strings), a Dunlop volume pedal, and a TC Electronic Flashback, through a Fender amp!The volume swells are looped in the first part, then just straight playing in the second part!Thank you for watching, and stay safe!

I was upstate this past weekend! On one of my walks, I took lots of photos:) I put a lot of the photos in a slideshow set to a song called Piecing Together A Shattered Heart, which I recorded, and released as a single in 2017, but the music fit great, in my opinion! Thank you for watching, and I hope you enjoy it! Stay safe!!!!
These are photos that I took yesterday, I improvised over them quickly, hence the less than perfect audio recording, and this is the result! This was my Thanksgiving crafts project, and I did yesterday, as my way to wish everyone Happy Thanksgiving from Gotham! Thank you for watching, and I hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving!
At the urging of many people, I have finally merged my music & photography, two of my biggest creative passions:) I made a slideshow of my photos, then played guitar to it, and added some wind chimes! There are a few adjustments I might make on the next video I make, but felt this was a great experiment for my first! These are my photos, and my guitar playing, and it was a fun experience putting this video together:) Thank you for watching, and stay safe!
I performed at Green Kill recently, and after my set I improvised for a few minutes, this is that improvisation. To see my entire performance, please visit: https://youtu.be/QBwOOY0pe2s I'm using a Holer Guitar (with Stringjoy strings), a Dunlop volume pedal, and A TC Electronic Flashback, through a Fender amp. I'm also using a slide, an Ebow, and wind chimes. Thank you for watching, stay safe!
I love to improvise, and I’m at it again:) I’m looping the original Ebow, slide, and a few chords, then I just improvise over it:) I’m using a Holzer Guitar (with Stringjoy strings), a TC Electronic Flashback, and a Dunlop volume pedal, through a Fender amp! Plus an Ebow & a slide! Thank you for watching, and stay safe!
This is a song that I’m doing with Brian Premo, and we felt it lent itself to sax. Dion Abraham agreed to do some sax, and crushed it, he did such a great job. The song is nowhere near finished, but it sounded so cool I Had to post it!
