Levi asked if I had any original material, so here’s a few I did a little while back.
I recorded these in Cubase and I found the process to be really frustrating which is what led me to try Reaper, Tracktion and a few others until I found nTrack.
These tracks are straight-up drum, bass & guitar and are sort of representative of what I do which is mainly instrumental prog type rock.
The tunes were recorded with live drums and I doubled on bass and guitar duties.
I’m using a Gary Moore signature Les Paul with Burstbucker pickups into a Mesa Mark IV head into a Std. 4X12 Mesa Recto Cab stereo setup.
Everything was mic’d through a Mackie mixer.
I wrote the “Subkah” tune in honor of a close cousin of mine who was killed by a sniper near a remote outpost in Iraq back in 2007.
It has sort of an Eastern feel to it.
“Flying Without Wings” is about a dare I took to freefall from a plane @ 10,000 ft. with a group of buddies…ain’t nuthin like it if you haven’t tried it.

I have no trouble getting into Subkah, great! Awesome mix on these songs Jack.
Did you have your material ready played before the studio? It’s just a matter of time before some nTracker bangs a gong with a hit tune, could be you big guy!

Levi - these tunes got a lot of live venue workout before they saw the studio. I apperciate the kind words. Thanks.
Cool tunes and mixes. Nice work.
Dang, you can write and you can play. That’s really great stuff, Hugh. I’m with levi, I really like the bass on Flying.
Flying is a beautiful jazzy sound. Yep…Bass is great here. Top class guitar as usual. Great stuff!!
you play so well, shame on me for thinking all you was good for was making farting noises and poo jokes…
you write well, love your layering/build ups, you playing everything here?
Enjoy or Not…hmmmm…I think I enjoyed! Very much!
digging 'flying." like the way it builds to the motor rhythm, breathes, and kicks back in a few times.
great axe solo too.
