My family was recently able to join me on the K-Love Cruise. We did a couple quick acoustic songs. My 7-year-old son, Elijah was even able to join us. 🙂 Check it out.

 

Hey everyone!

Sometimes, I just pick up the guitar with no agenda – no rehearsing for an upcoming gig, no practicing scales with a metronome – and just play for fun.

Since Christmas is this week, I decided to play a little Silent Night on my nylon-string guitar. I hope you enjoy it.

And, I hope you all have a very merry Christmas and a happy New Year! 🙂

I found this while digging through some old files. I came up with this arrangement around 2006 for the only performance I did with my wife, who was a professional ballet dancer and instructor. I recorded this track for her to practice her choreography to. She danced beautifully!

Years ago, I was in the studio and was asked to do some Spanky stuff on the guitar. I didn’t know what they meant, so, after scolding me for not being up on Spanky Alford, they played an example of his playing for me off of D’Angelo’s record Voodoo. Once I heard what Spanky played, he immediately became one of my favorite guitar players.

This is me trying to get the feel right for the song “Chicken Grease.” It seems like a simple enough part, but, I still don’t have it exactly like Spanky played it. The difficult part is getting the laid back feel without it sounding rehearsed. It’s the little nuances, that separated his feel from others. Spanky was amazing!
