This page contains recordings of my guitar playing as I progress
through the Learn and Master guitar course
which I am using to rebuild my career and playing back to a good standard. All of my recording will be my interpretation of tunes and I hope you
enjoy them. If you click on the links they should open up in your preferred audio player embedded in
your browser or just sit back and listen to the jukebox..
For those who want to know the technicalities the early tracks were recorded using
a Boss
BR600 8 track Digital Recorder click on the link for information on this
recorder. Some of the later tracks and the recordings at
My Songs were using the home studio I have set
up now.
I must say that none of my recordings are for
sale as if any of you would want to buy them. The backing tracks for the
Shadows numbers are provided by
Mustang Music Ltd
and they are of course copyrighted. So if you want the backing tracks or any
of Zoe McCullochs (she is much better than me)recordings please visit their
site.
My own songs are written using Sibelius Notation software currently version
6 and recorded using Pro Tools Digital Audio software and hardware. All
instruments apart from drums are played by me either using my various
guitars or MIDI keyboards and sequencing or virtual instrument software.
If you want to stop the juke box and listen to individual files then please
click the stop
button. They should load into your preferred player. You will also find a
link to a page of my own compositions in the
navigation panel above.
