Old Love by Eric Clapton – sort of
Charlene by Anthony Hamilton – but it’s a beat
Erykah Badu – I want you
I love this track by Erykah Badu. I personally think it’s a masterclass in how to build on a red hot simmer. Naturally, I decided to cook up a little loop in its honour.
Jeff Buckley – Forget Her
This song has so many gut wrenching elements to it. So naturally I tried to ram as many of those elements as I could into 4 bars with a loop pedal.
Aint No Sunshine – when she loops
Just cooked up a little loopy loop on the fly to throw a smidge of “Ain’t no sunshine” melody over. But the loop turned into its own thing, so I decided to chuck it into Logic instead and let it live its own life.
Madison Cunningham Pedal Demo Video
This was a fun one I was able to do with Turra. A quick little review of the JHS Artificial Blonde pedal where I got to play a few warbly sounding notes.
You have to know about 2 & 4
If you can internalise where beats 2 & 4 are at all times, you’ve got a pretty good shot at being able to string together a consistently rhythmic little ditty.
Less is more in G minor
A rhythmic improv in the key of G minor. Attempting to demonstrate that restraint is sometimes the key to victory.
Crazy in Love (Beyoncé) Cover
A little piece I wrote for a wedding one time. The bride and groom wanted this played during their ceremony. Who was I to say, “You know, that song is not really an acoustic guitar instrumental…?”
Tears in Heaven Cover (sort of)
When I started to connect the dots between chord progressions and lead lines across the full neck of the guitar, I started to hear songs that I had played for years, differently. This guy was one of the early forays into connecting those dots.
