The Great Gig In The Sky – (Dark Side of the Moon) – Piano Intro Performance This is something I was working on for a while here and there. It’s hard for me because I’m not a piano player. I’m more of a human sequencer. I learned it over a long period of time. I’m selling my Piano, so I thought I’d share this before it’s gone.

Where Did My Life Go – (Life and Death) Dual Guitars Performance When I started work on re-learning this song, I listened to it and thought, “Oh, this will be an easy one”. Boy, was I sadly mistaken. Every song on this album is hard to play. As I worked through each song, I thought, “wow this is one of the hardest lead solos to learn and play proficiently” and then each subsequent song basically…

This is what it really looks like behind the scenes. No script, no edits — just me, in my home studio, grinding through a lead solo I wrote back in the 1990s. The song is called Where Did My Life Go — Track 7 on my concept album Life and Death. Like every other track on this record, it was written and recorded once… and then never played again. So now I have to relearn it. Not just remember it —…

Time Flies – (Life and Death) Lead Guitar Performance This is a one and done performance video of me playing the Lead Guitar part of my song Time Flies from my Life and Death album. It was exceptionally difficult to play all the way through. It took weeks of daily practice to re-learn it and get to where I could do this single recording. Lots of fun. Tough guitar work that I never actually…

Time Flies – (Life and Death) – Dual Guitar Performance Video This is me, performing both the Lead Guitar and Rhythm Guitar for my song Time Flies, from my Life and Death album. The guitar work on this song was painfully difficult to learn, practice and master. For me, anyway, as a 66 year old man trying to bring back my guitar skills from ages ago. When I wrote and recorded this song in the…
