Once, Twice

This is the third of the trio of songs I recorded with Mark Lawrence a couple weeks ago.

This one was written a while back though I keep rewriting bits here and there.

Here is the video...

Trixie and Wayne

Another original solo banjo tune I recorded at Mark Lawrence's famed Big in Japan studio.

According to my eldest so this song is sad.  I enjoy playing it a lot and if it is sad I suppose some things just are.

Here it is...

Cairo

Recorded a few original banjo instrumentals with Mark Lawrence handling the audio at his Big in Japan Studio.  This one is a tune called 'The Wrath of Cairo' which I wrote for my son about 5 years ago.

The Elsinore Rag

This is a new tune of mine that covers a range of techniques.  It begins in the key of G with a swelling arpeggio motif in the A section that leads to some low range single string in the B.  From there we modulate to the key of C for a section and then it's back to the key of G and a recap of the A section before finishing off with a long winded descending line (I recommend a TIM or TMI right hand pattern) and a faux-classical resolution.

And here is the tablature...

'Get the Horns' - New Banjo Tune

Thought I'd do a short post to share a new tune. This one is sort of slow and gritty and it's called 'Get the Horns'.

You can listen to it here...

I'll try and post a video for it in the next little while if I can find my pesky camera.
