Here's a Santana-ish guitar jam over a Latin rock backing track. The guitar is a Floyd Rose Classic Strat with Duncan JB Jr. and Dimebucker pickups. This recording was done with a close mic'd Vox AD30VT amp set to the Soldano model.
This one's a straight-ahead blues jam over a Stormy Monday blues backing track. The guitar is a stock '62 RI Strat and the setup was again a close-mic'd Vox AD30VT set on the Boutique (Dumble) OD model.
Happy New Year! Well the year started off on a little downer with the Univeristy of Hawai'i Warriors beaten soundly in the Sugar Bowl. Hats off to the Univeristy of Georgia Bulldogs - they have a great, disciplined team. Still, we Hawai'i fans are proud of our Warriors. It's been a super season.
Woot - I'm on vacation!!! I uploaded a few backing tracks and imported them into my Boss BR-1180CD digital multitrack recorder. One of them is a smooth jazz track that I played over. For gear heads, I plugged a '72 Gibson Les Paul Custom straight into the board with a COSM preamp setting on a modified "Heading Wes" plugin. I threw about every George Benson cliche lick that I knew of in there... A little busy but what the hey. Hope you enjoy it.
Well, it's that special time of year and I for one know how stressful it can be. But when all is said and done, I hope you will find the joy that this season brings. Here are a few Christmas tunes I've done recently and over the past couple of years as home projects that I hope you will enjoy. Consider them as my gift to you. May the Lord bless you and yours with health, peace and joy during this special time.
2007 Christmas Medley: I did this classical guitar arrangement of "Away in a Manger", "Hark! The Herald Angels Sing", and "O Holy Night" as an offeratory piece at our church a couple of weeks ago. Whew, talk about stress - but praise God, I was able to pull it off with His help. I decided to record it - still a little rough around the edges but it is what it is:
Da kine Hawaiian: I did this short tune a couple years ago. It's the Hapa-Haole "A Christmas Luau". Don't blame me if you start feeling ono for some Hawaiian kaukau. ;)
Country-rock Christmas Praise: Wha? Yeah, it's true. Maybe a little too much overzealous guitar riffage:
OK one last one: This is a home recording I did with my wife and daughter 2 years ago. This is THE Hawaiian Christmas song:
Well, as we say in Hawai'i, Mele Kalikimaka me ka Hauoli Makahiki Hou!
