Demo of the electro-harmonix Mel9 tape replay machine guitar pedal

This is a demo of the electro-harmonix Mel 9 (Mellotron style guitar pedal) tape replay machine guitar pedal. I played some finger-picked acoustic through several of the settings including: clarinet, flute, strings, cello and a bonus electric guitar bastardization I call: “Phantom of the Stairway”. Haha. Hit “like” if you did, thanks! Rick

How to Finger-pick “So Alone” and “Westerly” in open “D” tuning

I had a few requests to show how to fingerpick my song “So Alone”, so here it is. It’s in open “D” tuning – DADF#AD. I also show “Westerly” which is basically finished, just need the lyrics.

Thanks,
Rick

Now available on iTunes: “Little Martha” acoustic instrumental

This is my cover of the classic acoustic instrumental composed by Duane Allman. On the original both he and Dickey Betts played, so I arranged this for a single guitar.

Duane co-wrote songs with his brother Gregg and Dickey Betts, but “Little Martha” is the only song written solely by Duane before having the motorcycle accident that killed him at age twenty-four in 1971.
