general beauregard

here's a general beauregard track.
i don't post too many of these in
general, for fear of having everything
sound like it's a big joke. but i do
continue to make general beauregard
tracks slowly; they just don't occupy
too much of my time!



enjoy!

slackin!

sorry -- i have not posted to this blog in 2 weeks.
that's too long i think. anyway, this one is the
first i recorded for an album i decided i want to try
to record. it's going to be a standards album -- simple
enough -- i found an effect on my delay pedal that i
like -- it's just a bit of reverse-reverb sound. anyway
i thought it might be interesting to make a standards
album of solo guitar with that effect-- should be mellow etc.




enjoy!

"not technically"

hi all -- tonight i really felt like making some electronic tracks and
i made this one and enjoyed it so here it is for your listening pleasure --



basically what i did was to walk a bass line in c minor on musical
typing at a slow tempo, then put a slow drum beat over it by musical
typing. i transcribed the bass line and then wrote a chord progression
following the roots with appropriate chord qualities. then i soloed at
the small speed. for a while i followed the chord progression, then i
basically just hung out in c minor pentatonic, to go with just the bass.


then i sped the whole thing up! muahaha






enjoy!

two track tuesday!

it's been a while since i've posted so i decided to post both
of the things i made tonight -- they both turned out fun. basically
i'm just trying to get more comfortable with garage band. what
i really need to practice is my musical typing drumming!


well you needn't (monk)





this originally wasn't going to be a track but it turned out fun
enough i thought. i got a cool accidental guitar effect at the beginning
when my headphone cord was hanging on my high e string and making it buzz weird...





enjoy!
