This
is my third demo and my first full instrumental. It was recorded in
1993 and again in Stone Bank WI with Brian and Mykul J. The inspiration
for this demo was mainly because I was listening to a lot of Michael
Hedges and Phil Keaggy. The alternate tunings grabbed my attention and
so I began to figure some songs out with these new voicings.
'As The Deer' is a song that we would sing at bible meetings and church and so when I was experimenting with the Hedges tunings, I stumbled across this song by accident. I used the high strings for melody and the rest for chord and color. 'Colors Of Autumn' was a realization from the accident that I previously created. Mykul's bass really added the depth to the sound. 'OCome Emmanuel' is done with two bass guitars, one playing a groove line and the other the melody with regular guitar later for a wide effect. 'I Will Not Forget You' started out as trying to figure out 'Classical Gas' but then it became it's own song. I still put in a few 'Gas' licks though. 'When I Look To You' is both an alternate tuning and slide creation. I stumbled upon the open D tuning and found out that if I lower the high string a little, it would have a totally different feel. Also the little birdies in the background was perfect to close out the demo. It
was with this demo that my guitar playing started to catch up with my
ideas and I began to explore new sounds and moods.and
