Music

  • This is an assemblage of 2 tracks of acoustic guitar with a back-drop provided by coqui frogs, crickets, and a fire:

  • The following 128kbps sound files are from a fairly loose jam with a stereo microphone in the middle of the room. If nothing else, they sort of capture some of the music and fun of a saturday night jam. I’m playing a humbucker pick-up guitar plugged straight into an overdriven all-tube amp, with occasional glass slide:

  • This is a little nylon-string guitar ditty that comes from that, sitting around the cabin with your thumbpick..and thinkin’, “Hey, nice ditty..too bad I don’t ever remember good ditties..Oh ya, I got that portable digital recorder..I’ll record it”-genre:
    Thumbpick Ditty

     Now that that’s over.. If you really want to hear the master of thumb-picked nylon-string guitar (maybe of all guitar actually), check out anything you can find by the late Lenny Breau. In particular, his superb take on another great thumbpicker, the late Jerry Reed’s tune: The Claw. Of course, these cats were disciples of Chet Atkins. ..he died too..hmm..maybe I’ll just take this thumbpick off for now..
