I took a Holiday... a Billie Holiday that is.

This must've been around 2008 (fisrt video I posted on Youtube). Part noodling/part improvised... with McCoy Tyner in my mind...

[garthmoore]

Here's a go at Time After Time.

I learned the Jeff Arnold arrangement for the study group. As I've been practicing it I've slowly been replacing some of his stuff with some of my own.

I started effing rushing, but I didn't want to do a million takes, so I'm posting it as is.

I was playing Dave Brubeck's "In Your Own Sweet Way" (one of my all time favorite tunes) yesterday to make a demo for Gitterbug. Here's a simple fingerstyle take on my Eastman 810CE7 through the DV Mark EG250 and a Toob Metro GP+. I hope it's a worthwhile contribution to The Autumn of Solo Guitar.

Wow - thanks so much! I almost always record with my TASCAM DR-40x. The internal mics and preamps are pretty good, so I use it as the entire front end running directly into my recording software (Audacity on a PC). I offset the centerline so one mic picks up a little more of the highs from the center cap and the other a bit more of the bottom from the cone. After recording, I duplicate the stereo track, swap channels on the dupe, offset it by 2 or 3 msec, and merge the two. This gives a slightly bigger stereo image that I like without processing of any kind.
