Track Seventeen from Error Supremacy. Some scales, patterns and modalities reminiscent of stuff from Deconstructing Shred.
Inventive and tasty band Royksopp had a remix thing lately. This is my take on their “Tricky.”
A remix of a Photek thing; I tweaked just about everything, added my own sequenced drums and of course some guitar riffs. Absynth helped out considerably….
For this month’s Guitar Collective task I took a “pella” from the wonderful Kate Lessing and created a kind of metal treatment, if you will, complete with crunching rhythm guitars, ridiculous leads, some lushy synth pads and of course, all in E Minor.
This was going to suffice for my Guitar Collective Task for October. But after hearing a colleague’s stellar entry I realized that I needed to do something else for that particular thing.
So this is me playing with this “ethnic instruments” VST, primarily in the Aeolian mode, hence the song’s title. Only about two minutes. I added some “free” drumming to the mix just to make it more confused.

Larry Coryell and Phillip Catherine performed a jazz tune they called “the no-booze blues.” Well, I’m finding that I have to get on the old proverbial water wagon and stay there for good. Or things will turn out very bad. So this little tune, which BTW meets a current Guitar Collective Task, is called Sansgrog, or “without grog.”
May’s Guitar Collective task. We hadda omit using the first and sixth stings. So I fingerpicked a thing. The title comes from the motel room number where I stayed and got stewed last week.
Third track from Pettier Onus, and also a Guitar Collective Task. Arpeggios of various note values, lasting a little over a minute.
