Welcome to 3fingersmusic

 

“Music is an illusion; people hear what they see, and see what they hear…”

(a famous New Orleans Musician said that).  Truth.

 

 

…It’s a work in progress... I update frequently. So far, baby step number 1 and a half is done...  this page is revision 5.0!! 

Thanks guys. 

 

 

 

 

(Original Guitar based instrumental music)  For non instrumental, cover songs, there is a great group of guys I have had the pleasure and honor to work with.  Those are below under “Covers” and some mastering work in collaboration with “Sgstdaka, “Robbie.” 

 

My life as a human being.mp3   (Myself. Guitar instrumental)

 

Solo over a backing.mp3  (This is the 77 Ibanez Artist).

 

Ode to Peter Quistgard.mp3  (77 Les Paul played without a pick, Princeton Reverb amp and a Maestro Echoplex which were tuned and made to sound excellent by Dave Foxx “The Doc” from N.C., USA).  Thanks Peter Q... J

 

Worthless Incantation.mp3 (60 seconds of layers of guitar)

 

Unnamed Tune.mp3  (Roland GR-300 and GK1 pickup)

 

Return_of_the_Princeton.mp3  (Myself on guitar.  Same amp “The Doc” worked up.  It’s an old Fender Princeton Reverb made even sweeter by the magic Mojo Dave puts in the work he does).  Thanks again Doc.  That amp is my go to recording amp.  Perfect!!

 

Wonderbread.mp3  (just me)

 

Absinthe_House.mp3 (Something done on my own)

 

Call of the Red Sunflower.mp3  (Stiglar on clean Jazz parts, myself on guitar with a Roland GR-300)

 

Jingo_Jelly.mp3  (myself with the Roland GR300 with GK1 pickup)

Friday Night improv.mp3 (My own way of killing time playing the guitar off the cuff and recording)

 

Condition Red.mp3  (are you tired of me yet)?

 

The Kidney Stone on pain pills jam.mp3 (Myself and a stone)

 

Ricker Backing.mp3 (Myself)

 

Jazz Fusion tone test.mp3 (myself on guitar playing to a backing track)

 

Terrible Improv.mp3     Really?  What was I thinking?

 

Blue Jean Improv.mp3   This was an outtake.  MIDI backing. 

 

The Glass Eye Interlude.mp3 (myself)

 

 

 

Covers– Mostly collaborations with others from the Internet:

 

Tiny Demons  (A Todd Rundgren tune from the album “Healing.”  This is an adlib version).  Myself on guitar, vocals, and bic lighter for a slide played in reverse with panning. 

If you don’t know me by now.mp3   (a cover of Harold Melvin & the Blue Notes with my friend, John, “JPF”  a…superb vocalist on lead vocals and myself on backing harmonies)… Thanks John!!! Made from a MIDI.

I can’t make you Love me.mp3  (Ana lives in Canada.  We have never met…except on a guitar based website.  Her native language is not English and she had never heard of the Bonnie Raitt)…but she did a super job on a duet version of this tune.  Made from a canned backing track, but I added the last acoustic guitar bit and Ana sure made this sound so nice for never being in front of a microphone before. 

Bloody Well Right.mp3  (KSDB “Joe” on Rick Bass and guitar and the backing).  It’s a cover of a Supertramp tune.  On this, I only tried the vocals. 

 

Kashmir 3f.mp3  (guitar and vocals myself).  LZ tune from the classic era.

 

My own Reality.mp3  (Interpretation of a Francis Dunnery tune).  Thanks to Lawrence, “Goport” from the UK who programmed the drums from scratch for me.  I played guitar, bass, and did the vocals.  The slide was a BIC lighter and the end was a string winder on the low E string.  This is a good example of the Maestro Echoplex as I had it maxed out on the slides. 

 

Good Life.mp3 My interpretation of a song by Francis Dunnery.  (Myself on guitar and vocal)

 

Day Tripper.mp3  Jeff Lange on all guitar…myself trying vocal…and artificial crowd noise into the mix as we tried to “rock up the version” …it just sounds like a live hot mix.  Great going Jeff!! 

 

B_Jovi_Dead_or_Alive.mp3 (Jeff once again on guitar and myself on vocals)

 

My Sweet Lord.mp3   Jeff Lange from Chicago on acoustic 12.  We had no idea how to do the “slides” on the song, so we tried a Roland GR-300 guitar synth with the GK-1 pickup to create them.  (Myself on vocals, harmonies and guitar synth).

 

Little Dreamer.mp3   Jeff Lange again on smoking guitars!!  I tried to be the DLR to this tune with the vocals…LOL. 

 

In The Long Run.mp3  (SGSTD yet again with excellent guitars…all of the guitar harmonies and myself with vocals)

Space Oddity.mp3 (All me here.  Acoustic, electric, vocals, and MIDI conversion and mix).  I just like the original and was inspired. 

 

La_Villa_Strangiato_pt1.mp3  (A Rush tune with a MIDI conversion backing) This is the Dave Foxx tuned 74 Marshall, his tuned EP-3 Echoplex, and 77 Les Paul with 4x12 cab mic’d with SM-57 off axis of cone center about 45 degrees).

When the Levee Breaks.mp3   (Per Eiman, Sweden, All harp, slide work and 2nd guitar track, and Robbie “Sgstd” on main guitar track. Myself on vocals. Shout to whomever made the drum track….I think “Bluesplayer” Arty had it sampled.  Erie how this song speaks to my hometown after Katrina….God bless you guys who helped during the crisis…
