Beginning to release music I made during the pandemic which was arguably to hardest time in my life. Trying to move on by letting it go. Check it out if you want and let me know what you think.

easy listening.
i dind't turn it off after 20 seconds, which means it's okay for me even it's not my kind of music.
good work (says i who has no idea about the quality of art stuff beyond "like/dislike")
 
i found out i have more space on my vimeo account than i thought, so i can post a couple more videos that aren't my bandcamp accounts... anyways, this is a tuning that i was doing on lsd... i left my guitar in this tuning for like 6 years with out playing it much.. i didn't find this song on lsd, i was just doing open notes... i was talking about how i can't really hold a guitar correctly, so i have to put it on my lap and play with my thumb. that really limits what i can play, so this is just a chord with my thumb baring two strings and then open notes... i'll probably never get in this tuning again. i'm thinking about recording all the notes separate, so i can tune it, but that is such a pain.. if i were to just trip and mess around with guitar i'd probably find the tuning again and doing that is way more fun, but actually doing stuff with out that mind of drugs doesn't always work out for me... this is actually some of my best guitar work.. you can hear me trying to breath through my nose. my head kind of starts to move in the video. i'm really struggling for air, making it harder for me to play. just playing a simple riff like that for more than 20 seconds is hard for me to do sometimes. i'm not good at breathing and playing. i can play tons of different stuff for short periods, but doing a whole song can be tough. i'm sure other people that play music know how it can be harder to pace yourself breathing while doing certain stuff. you can see me struggle during this video.. when i mess up though, i kind of let the notes ring out and do cool transitions. like bob ross says "happy mistakes"... idk. probably tmi about this, but i think people's struggles with music and how they can learn different ways is pretty cool. i always love to hear different people's stories:

LSD RIFF:

also. i do these open tunings.. i get the most likes on my you tube with these open tunings.. they are supposed to be spooky dissonant open tunings. i always write "are you afraid of the dark" influenced like the nickolodeon show in the description:

SPOOKY OPEN TUNING:
<div style="padding:56.25% 0 0 0;position:relative;"><iframe src="" frameborder="0" allow="autoplay; fullscreen; picture-in-picture; clipboard-write; encrypted-media" style="position:absolute;top:0;left:0;width:100%;height:100%;" title="spooky open guitar tuning reminds me of are you afraid of the dark"></iframe></div><script src="https://player.vimeo.com/api/player.js"></script>


EDIT: i can't really figure out how to link these videos with out the extra code.. sorry that messes with the view of the page, but i can't figure it out, and if the videos play, that's good enough for me.
 
i posted another video of a similar tuning on acoustic a few pages but, but this is the weirder jazzier version and it's actually a little bit different tuning, but a lot of the notes are the same, and i use all the same finger patterns:

<div style="padding:56.25% 0 0 0;position:relative;"><iframe src="" frameborder="0" allow="autoplay; fullscreen; picture-in-picture; clipboard-write; encrypted-media" style="position:absolute;top:0;left:0;width:100%;height:100%;" title="guitar influenced by banjo and saxaphone"></iframe></div><script src="https://player.vimeo.com/api/player.js"></script>

i have a ton of you tube videos with this amp doing that tuning.. this is a pretty standard take that's shorter... i'm hoping to find a free jazz drummer to play along with similar sounding stuff someday.. i'd have to play a little differently, but this is pretty much imagined to have free jazz drumming:

you are the same poster as Deficit? i think you might've had freddy crueger as an avitar?? i remember a person doing some solo stuff on an electric guitar.. this doesn't really sound like it'd be from the same person, not that the other recording was bad, i actually liked some of them... i just felt like it was kind of ametuer and more fun... this is kind of more complicated than i'd expect from that poster if this is the same person... i suck at using computer programs, basslines and adding guitar... takes a certain level of thinking

I was introduced to using "alternate tuning" a long time ago (1950's). The first ones were Nashville tuning and a few lap/pedal steel tuning methods. Some of them are very evocative and useful for modal and texture work.

Good stuff !

i'm pretty sure there's really only one way to tune a piano??? guitar is so interesting cause there's very many ways to tune it, and even in standard tuning, there is a ton of stuff to play.
 
wow i googled and there actually are alternate piano tunings... didn't think the strings would sound good if changed. have to check out some of that on you tube. there's probably stuff i thought was standard tuning that's actually different.

a lot of stuff i'd probably guess is standard tuning with guitar, but it's actually something different.

Yep, same person. A lot of the stuff I used to pass around was more just fucking around or whatever

I figured out how to operate some audio production software, about a month ago, so have been coming up with some new ideas and putting stuff together and releasing new material.

I have some more proper songs with vocals and stuff I am finishing up as well

A piano is a tempered chromatic instrument and therefore arranged "full tone, full tone, semitone" in an infinite series, two pairs of this pattern per octave; violin, lute etc. are tuned in 4ths or 5ths. The piano is an extreme pain to tune so it's relatively rare to have one in a different tuning whereas the guitar, are easily tuned by each musician.
The predecessors to piano (clavichord, harpsichord, etc) were not and did have different tuning especially for different key signatures.
