| When Gerald Gets Blue | Piano,Vibes, Bass. Walking blues. |
| Major Healy Cha Cha | Piano, Vibes, Latin percussion. Lounge band on a good day. |
FINGERSTYLE MIDI GUITAR TUNES
| I performed these songs in real-time. Just
the MIDI guitar directly into the computer. No overdubbing, quantization
(aligning notes to beats) or computer generated harmonization was used.
Some editing was performed to remove MIDI false triggers and ghost notes.
A bit of reverb was added for spice. |
