After 20 odd years I finally got a real saxophone on this track, played by the brilliant @richardplaysthesax.bsky.social 🎷 Out now on bandcamp!

New guitar 💕

I got Spitfire's BBCSO library a while ago, which is great, but not so good for doing jazzy, freeform stuff. So what I've done here is detuned & bent the notes, then combined them with actual brass samples I found on-line. I'm quite pleased with it. The sax is just synth though, so still a bit crap.

Here's the 'grand finale' of my "Electric Guitar Concerto No. 1 in A minor" (out now on bandcamp!). I was going for a big, 'classical' style ending here.

Here is the penultimate part to the 3rd & last movement of my "Electric Guitar Concerto No. 1 in A minor" (just go and listen to it on bandcamp you lazy bastards!)

This is the strummed section from my "Electric Guitar Concerto" (out now on bandcamp!).

Here's the solo part of my 'Electric Guitar Concerto' (out now on bandcamp!). This is 'hybrid picking', so I'm playing the low notes with the pick & plucking the high notes with my spare fingers. The low notes are also 'palm muted' & fretted with my thumb. It's quite tricky!

Here's the 2nd bit of the 3rd movement of my 'Electric Guitar Concerto' (out now on bandcamp!). It's 15 minutes long, so there's loads more of these coming, like it or not!

Here's the start of the 3rd movement of my 'Electric Guitar Concerto' (out now on bandcamp!). It starts out very straight, almost like a guitar picking exercise, but gets much freer & more emotional in the later parts.

I'm sensing Suzi Quatro vibes.

The last part of the "Adagio" from my Electric Guitar Concerto (out now on bandcamp!). One thing I love with the EBow is how its sound varies depending on where on the string you place it, sometimes sounding buzzy & sometimes bringing out higher harmonics.

Part 3 of the "Adagio" from my Electric Guitar Concerto (out now on bandcamp!)

Here's the 2nd part of the "Adagio" from my Electric Guitar Concerto (out now on bandcamp!). I managed to add the 'phasescope' image from Wavelab, just for anyone who needs more visual stimuli than just me standing there with a guitar.

The 2nd movement from my 1st Electric Guitar Concerto, "Adagio" (out now on bandcamp!!!), played entirely using the EBow.

Just continuing my conquest of TikTok.

Here's the 'big finish' to the 1st movement of my Electric Guitar Concerto (out now on bandcamp!). I get a bit carried away when playing this & have broke strings a couple of times & once only realised I'd opened a cut up on my finger after I'd finished & saw blood spattered all over the pick guard.

The middle bit of the 1st movement of my Electric Guitar Concerto (out now on bandcamp!).

Here's the opening of my "Electric Guitar Concerto No. 1 in A minor" (out now on bandcamp!) just to prove it wasn't all made by AI.

Here's a rare photo of them in their heyday.

I've no idea what Wavelab's "phasescope" is for, but it looks rather lovely with the eBow'ed guitar on my latest track.

Could work

Swiss Rolls are nice. I haven't had one of those since I was a kid.

Found some black witches butter in the woods today. Quite appropriate for Friday 13th.

Post a tree you photographed.

Just wondering whether to go out now, or wait till this afternoon when I've only got an 80% chance of getting pissed on.

"Sweet & nutty"? It's cheese! It's not supposed to be sweet OR nutty! Why do they insist on putting stupid adjectives on food nowadays? I don't want my cheese to be nutty any more than I want my nuts to be cheesy!!!

Here's the songs. Not as many tracks as I thought. I can't remember where they all came from. Some were on compilation albums that I had from somewhere or other.

I was disappointed they didn't release any more David Bowie compilations following on from "The Best of David Bowie 1980/1987" so I made my own (including lots of non-album singles & B-sides) and also, using my super-duper Photoshopping skills, made a nice cover for it.

I've recently been watching "Live Aid" & old Doctor Who's on the BBC iplayer, and the two preview pictures could easily be interchangeable.
