Semi Hollow Guitar Kit Demo Riff


While this may be a bit of a teaser since it's coming before the rest of the writeup documenting the build, here's a quick improv riff to demo the tone (and feedback!) of this semi hollow with just two strings.

"Flashes in the Abyss" Solo Preview!


Sneak peek at a solo from my in-progress instrumental, "Flashes in the Abyss" - some Yngwie Malmsteen inspired wailing on the scalloped fretboard :)

Aside from being a song in it's own right, it's part of the theme song to "Laser Strike III", which is simultaneously in the works, might take a while to wrap up all these projects going at once!

Rob Chapman Rig Competition



My submission to the indomitable Monkey Lord's competition to write a riff using only the first four frets.  I only found the competition two days before the deadline so it's rushed and sloppy, but nevertheless has a good variety of creative riffs that I hope you enjoy!

First Time Gypsy Jazz Improv


First time today trying out the Gypsy jazz style, I like it a lot so far even if my playing isn't up to scratch.  Hopefully someday I'll look back fondly on my progress; for now, I'll have to be content being a bit better than Nick Jonas.

Open Tuned Natural Harmonics


Wrote a little ambient song with natural harmonics on a guitar tuned to a major chord.  Pretty much the prettiest a guitar can get.

Carol of the Bells


So I decided to arrange and cover Carol of the Bells mixed with a little "God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen" and "We Three Kings".  Never did I expect it would take so long though!

Anyway, enjoy what is unofficially the most super-badass Christmas song of all time :P

Jingle Bell Rock


Guitars 1, 2, 3, and 4 all played by me.  And the bass part.  And I synced up the drum machine, for what it's worth :)
