Guitar, Piano, Bass, Music Theory

Here are four tunes I recorded on the PC in my back room using various guitars and other musical instruments.  The guitars featured on these cuts include a Gibson L4, a Godin Multiac Jazz, a Godin ACS nylon string classical, and a Takamine 132SC classical.  I used the Gibson and the Takamine to record audio tracks, while the Godins were used as MIDI input devices.  The primary MIDI sound module is a Roland SC-880, which produces all the instrument sounds not made by the Gibson or the Takamine except the organ sounds, which were produced by a Hammond XK-2 keyboard.  I also used the XK-2 as a MIDI input device.  The recording, both audio and MIDI, was done on a PC using Sonar sequencing software.  I played most of the parts myself in real time with the few exceptions, described below.

Note: Audio files, even MP3's, tend to be large.  Each tune below has two versions: a short excerpt which will load more quickly, and the full song.  If you don't have a broadband connection, the full version may take a while to download.
