Here’s a new flow-of-consciousness improv on the Spanish guitar recorded with iPhone this morning. It’s been an intense few weeks and i’ve been feeling like i’m coming out of some kind of ‘flu. Well, here it is, mistakes and all. Not mixed, just served as it comes, ‘sin azucar’. Well, maybe a little reverb.

As ever, if you enjoy this piece or have any observation (like, it’s too f*** long, bruv haha) hit me up in the comments section. It is what it is, yeah.

PS checked out my new (somewhat ahistoric) piece on George Orwell yet?

Do that next.

Bosh.

Recorded on my MacBook years ago, I always meant to re-record this properly, with parts 2 & 3. Hoping to do that this year.

Here is an improvisation today using the Mesa Express amplifier which I haven’t played with for a while. It’s really a versatile all rounder tube amp switchable between 5 and 25 watts power output. As ever, if you like it or have any thoughts let me know in the comments, Enjoy! Ben

Playing through an amp today, the Schertler David Wood 80W. Hope you enjoy it, it’s improvised so naturally has a lot of mistakes! :¬)

Playing through an amp today for a change, the Schertler David Wood 80W which is excellent I have to say. It’s not just for acoustic pickups.

Here is a free-form improvisation on a theme from a tune I wrote called Summer Song, which I recorded this evening direct to iPhone from the Eastman (acoustic) archtop guitar. Hope you enjoy it.
