2000 Man (solo instrumental guitar cover)
The second song I ever learned to play on the geetar -- "2000 Man", composed by Mick Jagger & Keith Richards and recorded by The Rolling Stones for their 1967 album Their Satanic Majesties Request. It only took me a couple of decades to get (mostly) right. :P
Played on a Gibson J-160E plugged in to a Tonemaster Deluxe Reverb amp.
People bag on that album a fair bit and while it isn't the Stones' finest hour, it does have some gems and it's the first album I practiced guitar along to, so for that, it gets a pass from me.

Keep The Customer Satisfied (rough acoustic fingerstyle instrumental cover)
Переглядів 403 місяці тому
My spring cleaning got interrupted when I tried to walk past my Guild 12-string acoustic case laying on the floor. Instead, I pulled it out and started figuring out an instrumental fingerstyle cover of "Keep The Customer Satisfied", one of my favourite songs from Simon & Garfunkel's final studio album Bridge Over Troubled Water (which, I'm not gonna lie, is not my favourite full album of theirs...
Black Hole Sun (instrumental Soundgarden cover excerpt)

Happy solar eclipse (tomorrow) for North America! In anticipation of this event, I thought I'd instrumentally play a bit of a song released 30 years ago, "Black Hole Sun", originally composed by Chris Cornell and recorded by Soundgarden. I'm not a grunge fan per se but I do recall when this song first came out and liked it then as I do now. Originally I had arranged the tune for acoustic finger...
Uptown Girl (fingerstyle guitar instrumental Billy Joel cover)
Переглядів 876 місяців тому
In honour of Billy Joel releasing his first new single since 2007 (I think) later this week, I thought I'd dust off and record an instrumental fingerstyle guitar arrangement I came up with of his 1983 hit, "Uptown Girl", in a quasi-ragtime-meets-Chet-Atkins style (with some added instruments to fill out the sound, including bass, mandolin, and drums). Not gonna lie, it's not my favourite Billy ...
Ashes To Ashes (David Bowie instrumental cover snippet)
Переглядів 207 місяців тому
An after-hours jam on "Ashes To Ashes" (composed by David Bowie) in memory of David Bowie (January 8, 1947 - January 10, 2016) in a solo fingerstyle guitar arrangement with shades of Bill Frisell (this is my first guitar with a Bigsby vibrato, which I'm still getting the hang of). This was probably one of the first Bowie songs I ever heard and still one of my many favourites of his. One of thes...
We Wish You a Merry Christmas (instrumental cover excerpt)
Переглядів 1977 місяців тому
I had been meaning to record something for the holiday season but between work stress and what keeps going on in the world, it really hasn't felt much like the holiday season to me. Still, I thought I'd put something together anyway for a little Yuletide spirit. This arrangement seems to be a bit reminiscent of Chet Atkins (fitting, seeing as how the main guitar part is played on a Gretsch), Ja...
Porpoise Song (Theme From Head) (Monkees instrumental cover snippet)
Переглядів 499 місяців тому
A friend sent me a demo of their own song recently and the opening chords of their song reminded me of this majestic psychedelic masterpiece by The Monkees (you read that correctly), "Porpoise Song (Theme From Head", released a little over 55 years ago. I've always been haunted by this rather enigmatic composition, originally written by Gerry Goffin and Carole King for The Monkees' 1968 film He...

Happy (belated) 82nd birthday to Hank Marvin, lead guitarist of The Shadows! It's interesting, I had been thinking a lot about Hank and The Shadows this past week and, lo and behold, yesterday ended up being his 82nd birthday. I guess the universe was trying to tell me something... I often get requests to play Shadows songs like "Apache" or "FBI" (one of my favourites) but today I thought I'd l...
Rain On The Roof (Lovin' Spoonful instrumental cover excerpt)
Переглядів 116Рік тому
It's been awfully rainy/stormy near where I live (even got uncomfortably close to a tornado the other day :/) but I reckon playing some rain-related toons should help (in some way). I started figuring out an instrumental cover of "Rain On The Roof" for fingerstyle guitar and thought I'd share a snippet of it here (of course, it had to be played on a Guild T-bird reissue guitar similar to what t...
Summertime/California Dreamin' (instrumental cover medley)

Happy June/Summer Solstice! About a month ago, I was asked to perform some background music at a reception. While practicing one of the jazzier contenders for the gig, "Summertime" (originally composed by George & Ira Gershwin and DuBose Hayward my version is heavily influenced by the cover versions by Miles Davis and later Herbie Hancock with Joni Mitchell), I started playing it as a mash-up (...
If You Could Read My Mind (Instrumental Gordon Lightfoot Cover)
Переглядів 255Рік тому
Legendary Canadian singer-songwriter Gordon Lightfoot passed away a month ago today at 84 years of age. A few days after his passing, while reflecting on his musical legacy, I started coming up with an instrumental arrangement for “If You Could Read My Mind”, one of his classic songs, for fingerstyle guitar. Initially, I envisioned it in a stripped-down arrangement for acoustic guitar and elect...
This Is Love (George Harrison 80th Birthday Tribute Cover)

Happy Posthumous 80th Birthday to George Harrison! As a tribute, I recorded a cover of one of my favourite Harrison solo songs, “This Is Love” (composed by George Harrison with Jeff Lynne) from his 1987 album Cloud Nine; it brings up very sunny and warm memories and I love the message in the lyrics, not to mention his slide guitar solo that almost brings me to tears every time I hear it. I’m no...
Let's Dance (after-hours instrumental Bowie cover)
Переглядів 311Рік тому
I've been on a Bowie kick recently so I thought I'd try figuring out an instrumental solo guitar version of this classic of his. I ended up recording the third or fourth take of it and thought I'd share it here. I was still kind of figuring it out as I went along, so I biffed a bit of it at the end and figured I'd fade it out early on the closing solo before desecrating the memories of Messrs D...
Auld Lang Syne (instrumental excerpt)

Thought I'd ring out the old and ring in the new year with an excerpt of an instrumental cover of the classic "Auld Lang Syne" (original words by Robert Burns), recorded on a Tascam 4-track cassette recorder. I simplified the chords a little (or I just played 'em plain wrong...you decide!). I also decided to play the melody on lap steel in tribute to the great Freddie Roulette, one of the great...
Octopus's Garden (Beatles cover)

My niece's favourite song this past year has been "Octopus's Garden" by The Beatles (originally composed by Richard Starkey, better known as Ringo Starr). I wanted to get her a holiday gift that she would love, so I figured I'd try my hand at a home-recorded one-man-band cover of "Octopus's Garden" for her, with yours truly on vocals (excuse my vocals, I can't sing that well), guitars, bass, la...

ua-cam.com/video/X7iXe7lmKzw/v-deo.html We all guitarrists should work together... we can't not expect money but honor and a lot of fun together. learning together to be a human 😄🤗✋
Hey! Can I use this for a cover? :)
Sure thing, as long as you credit me for the backing track. :)
@@senorblues76 will do! Thanks :)

SWEET👍
Hey, just came across this wonderful creation. Love it! How do you do the video overlays? Very cool technique. Keep rocking!! Mark Einstein
Thanks so much! :) I use iMovie -- to overlay video, drag and drop a new video clip just above (i.e. not directly on top of the video but just over it so it's like you have two video clip pathways, if that makes sense) the existing video clip that you've already added to the project timeline, and click the video clip you added/superimposed so that it is selected in the "Viewer"/preview window. The top left button in the preview/"viewer" window shows two rectangles nearly on top of each other -- this is the symbol for "video overlay settings". If you click on that, it will give you options for how you want to overlay the video that you just added. What I used here for the most part was "Cutaway" with the opacity set to about 50%. You can use other options like "Picture in Picture", split screen, or if you have green screen abilities (which I don't), you can do "Green/Blue screen". I'm sure there's a better way to explain it and/or an easier way to do it (particularly if you use other, more advanced movie editing software) but that's how I've been doing it in iMovie. Hope that helps!
Lovely rendition of a classic. Bravo.
Groovy!
V ambitious... and a really solid rendition. Way to go!
Votre version m'a scotché ! je l'ai bien aimée. J'ai cru entendre Marcel Dadi. Encore merci pour le partage. Take care ;-)
Great arrangement and performance of this piece. Great melody line and tremendous backing work. Well done. You captured this piece very well.
