MEDITATION #.19
(4 minute 19 second full track - 3MB, 96k, MP3)

This is sort of a "C" type tuning " CCEGCC" ( I found this tuning when able to start tapping with my left hand. I should have called this piece "Physical Therapy" LOL.) The picking is done with the left hand on the neck while the right hand handles harmonics, tapping, pull-offs, and some chording...(the left hand is mostly doing hammers and pull-offs, it just sounds like picking). Be sure to warm up and stretch your fingers before attemping this piece as it can be quite taxing on the left hand. - jon

Physical_ Therapy
(2 minute 30 second full track) -2.3MB, 96,mp3)

Brand New Download. The title track from "Physical Therapy" This was one of the first tunes I started writing in alt tuning. DADABD. While going through physical therapy at the hand therapy clinic here in portland or. I wrote this piece more for the left hand than the right. This piece is done without capos. It is a great piece to warm up with when starting a show. Just plug straight in to a great acoustic amp, through in some great verb. The rest is in the hands. Stay tuned for another new track to be rotated into play soon.
Into Unimpressed Snow
(4 minute 37 second full track - 3MB, 96k, MP3)

This is a "D" type of tuning. I usually drop everything a halph-step to start with, then tune down from there. Both E's down to D's and the G string gets tuned up to an A. This tune is rooted in a poem with the same title written by Edward Finney. - jon
