Howdy! Let me share with you a personal bit…my most favorite shape in the world (to-date, known to man so far) is Metamobius! Invented/discovered by Ted Gibbons of ON. There’s very little information on this on the Internet at the time of this accidental discovery, but I’m sure it’ll get more populated. Anyway, his algorithm […]

My Latin-Arabic guitar hack
Hi again, so this one is about how to simulate (fake?) latin or even with an added flavor of arabic tune/music in the guitar. Total improvisation…this is NOT a song. I’m just demonstrating that the notes can played with to create your own song while retaining the “flavor” of those cultures. Here I’m just goofing […]
Guitar practice: Chris Isaak’s Wicked Game – guitar intro
Howdy, here’s my guitar rendition of Wicked Game game Intro (raw!). This is one of the most beautiful, simple and fluid songs ever made, with really nothing complex on the guitar. Beauty is in its simplicity. It appears that the lead, and chords are all within Bm, A, and Emaj. Anyway, I’m playing it with […]
Guitar practice: Chuck Berry’s Run Rudolph Run
Howdy, so for Xmas, I literally learned the notes for Chuck Berry’s Run Rudolph Run a couple of hours ago, and had so much already just playing it! I’ll get better with more practice, but shows that anyone can do it, if they have the ears 🙂 The notes are correct but the rhythm is […]
My 2nd attempt at rendition of Last of the Mohicans theme
Again, used my guitar to simulate the music. Second attempt, a little better I think. Used 1 electric guitar used connected to my small amp with Reload fx. Then played intro and chorus as separate tracks and recorded them into an open source app; then merged the tracks and edited the length and added some […]
Last of the Mohicans: my guitar hack
I love this movie…can’t get through it without EVER shedding tears, no matter how many times I’ve watched. The breath-taking cinematography, the mind-blowing casting, and amazing acting…and the thematic music backed with a strong story-line. What else do you need in a movie, right? Anyway, I’ve been listening to the theme music over and over […]
Ventured into new arts wizardy today
Today was my first “encaustic” art workshop! Here’s my output from 2.5 hrs of tinkering with ideas and materials. It’s like sending me out to a hardware/hobby store with nuts, bolts, tools, and motors…you know I’ll build some working contraption when I’m done! This is analogous to that, except in the softer arts sense. No […]
Intro to my music
Who doesn’t like music, right? As with drawings and paintings, I am completely self-taught guitarist, lyricist, composer. I created whatever music genre just for myself. Never intended to sell, I did put them up on various music sites (SoundCloud, Amazon Music, etc.) for free downloads over the years. In most cases, I also published lyrics […]
Intro to my art-work
Hello, stranger! I’ve been doodling before I could write legibly. Completely self-taught, it was just a vent for my creativity. I’ve dabbled into sketching, painting, charcoal, photography, sculpting, ceramics, and of course…a man’s gotta build something with this hands! Meaning, building small furniture to fun constructions. I don’t have a dedicated site of my arts […]
