Album: Serenade of Strings
Unlocked! Dee (Randy Rhoads) - I hadn't meant to record this for the album but am glad I did. My performance is different from Randy's in subtle ways you can listen for.
Locked! Sign-in to access this In The Round  - it's always fun to hear a piece with 6 different melodies going at once!
Locked! Sign-in to access this Understand  - this song is all fingerpicking steel-strings and nylon string lead guitars, and very moody.
 
Album: The Lost Art
Unlocked! Bach Minuets I & II - this minuet is one of my favorite pieces from my classical guitar days.
Locked! Sign-in to access this Canarios  - this is fun little piece that's well known to classical guitarists.
Locked! Sign-in to access this Villa-Lobos Prelude I  - a brooding piece that I understood at once, and it shows.
 
Album: Some Things Are Better Left Unsaid
Unlocked! Blue Sky  - light, crispy rock from the second album.
Unlocked! The Key - a more dramatic "darkness to light" song, this one has an extended coda with some fun harmony leads.
Locked! Sign-in to access this Pitter Patter - the best Metallica riff they never wrote opens this high energy song.
 
Album: The Firebard
Unlocked! Legends - the first single from the debut album.
Locked! Sign-in to access this Still at Large - this tune is one of my favorites for intensity.
Locked! Sign-in to access this Accolade - this is a light ballad with "clean" electric guitars under a smooth lead tone.
 
Demos
Locked! Sign-in to access this The Gift - this is the demo recording for the last new song written for the Serenade of Strings album. You can compare it to the final version!
Locked! Sign-in to access this Crunch Time - a song intended for the next rock album, this has my final guitar performances (unless I change something) and me on bass and my original drum programming. This song originated from my work on the "Structural Chord Progressions" article.
