This is a rehearsal at Higher Calling Church.  Nothing fancy here.  The audio did not turn out too bad on the ones that I recorded.  I basically setup 2 condenser mic's and recorded it through a 2 channel USB mobile pre into a laptop.  This is about 45 minutes long.

This was a recorded session of Raul and I.  This is a few hours long.  There are quite a few ideas in there and just playing.  This is definatly a raw tape.

The audio at the begining is shot, for the first 10 seconds or so.  There is a cool guitar solo near the middle.  This was a gig played downtown San Diego, it was a super bowl party.

Now you can see how we sound after all of that hard work!  This is way better than the rehearsal.

This is part of a rehearsal for a Aaron Copeland concert.  This was in 1998 when I was in the Marine Corps Band.

If you are a dad, you should take a listen. There is no underestimating the power of a dad. Yes there is a power to the mom too, for the moms defense. There actually needs to be a husband and a wife to raise children.

This is called Fusion Track, near the middle part there is a little jam that sounds like fusion.  I used my Peavey Stereo Chorus 212 amp (that is missing a speaker) and all of the other gear mentioned on the gear page.  I miss jamming with these guys.  Can we do it again sometime soon?  Please?

This song is called Slow Six.  It is slow and is in 6/8, or 3/4; whatever you feel it as.  The recording of this song was as such:

1. Raul and I got together
2. Jammed until I came up with the background chord stucture
3. Heard a melody in my head
4. Messed around with the "loop", delay pedal doing the job
5. Liked the melody
6. Recorded the electronic drums and me with 2 tracks.  One track for drums and one for guitar.  I would switch between doing the melody and doing the chords. 
7. Next I overdubbed the bass.  The bass was my guitar (not a bass) with the Digitech tremlo pedal dropping the pitch down an octave.
8. Took it home.
9. Recorded the solo.
10. Cleaned up the tracks, etc.
11. Walla!

 I did not fully like the solo, but it was late and needed to get one down.  A few mistakes in the song but again these songs are not perfected but fun to do and get my recording and writing skills going hopefully.

There are songs that I recorded and mixed for a demo.

This song was just a jam and nothing serious, but it kind of grew on me the more that I listened to it. I recorded the lead guitar first and then the rythem, I did not even pick a key to play in but the chords that I played with it didn't sound too bad. Anyway... here it is.
