bits

school has started up, so i've been
very busy and haven't had much time
to post. so i wanted to post a few
things i've recorded lately.

here is a riff i enjoyed:



here is me messing around with the
tune 'goodnight irene':



here is a very jammy one, probably
a consequence of listening to too
many john zorn surf albums:



enjoy!

improvisation

i'm a bit worried that the posts are
becoming a bit homogeneous, but lately
all i feel like doing is improvising
on the classical guitar. so i figured
i'd post this at least, since i've been
busy lately and haven't had much time
for posting!



here's one that's a little different;
i basically imposed harmonic structure
on myself (a melodic minor) but not too
much else and then improvised, looped
over improvising, etc. etc.



enjoy!

days of wine and roses

here is a fairly loose interpretation of the
standard 'days of wine and roses,' played on
acoustic guitar. the melody of the song i
wrote recently also sneaks its way in there
at some points...



enjoy!

for the sake of frequent posting

it has been a few days since i posted,
so i wanted to put something up. this
is just me playing around with basically
a "minor ii-V-i-VI," i.e. the chords
start off as: Em7b5 A7alt Dm7 B7alt

then the whole thing just deteriorates



enjoy!
