I’ve just posted four new compositions from Cryptomusicology, a cycle of solo guitar pieces inspired by cryptids and other paranormal entities. I’d be thrilled if you had a listen. #guitar #solo #acoustic #fingerstyle #cryptids, #monsters #paranormal #horror #music

Smart guy. Hey, nice meeting you on Saturday, Charlie. I’m grateful for your event.

Any decent recording of Die erste Walpurgisnacht! It’s such a freaky piece, one you’d think likelier to have been composed by Felix’s pal Hector Berlioz. A “secular cantata” on a text by Goethe, it’s pro-pagan and anti-Christian. Not your usual Felix fare! Mixed feelings about his adopted religion?

Three Days with Marianne Faithfull - tonefiend.com Joe Gore recalls his experiences performing and touringwith Marianne Faithfull in 2013.

I’m so sorry to learn that we’re lost Marianne Faithfull. I can’t say I knew her well, but I once spent three memorable days performing and traveling with her. I just jotted down a few remarkable memories. tonefiend.com/uncategorize...

Oh, I just asked ‘cause I’m about to get my first ink ever — and its a big piece, to cover scars. I full sleeve inspired by Redon. Audiobooks it is!

Thank for the tip, GFM! So you can read during a tattooing session?

Thanks! That was so fun. And I loved their tight edit, which made me sound far more smart and focused than I am in daily life. Those are two cool guys!

I can’t live without one. Especially for distorted tones. But I’m weird.

Oh man, I loved Viceroy. We lost Chatwin far too soon. 😢

I TOLD you that you should have stopped by Office Max for a new smoke cartridge!

"Gloria" from Joe Gore's album Falling Through Time: Music from the 1300s YouTube video by tonefiend by joe gore

I was a teenage early music nerd. (I came THIS close to an academic musicology career.) I loved revisiting my medieval faves decades later, playing note-for-note from 14th-c. manuscripts, but using modern instruments. #medieval #medievalmusic #earlymusic #guitar

The only recording I know of that features four simultaneous Bass VI parts. (That fact that it’s me is a TOTAL coincidence.) youtu.be/zD88LRiBRbY?...

(Examples of my eduting chops above.)

Hope this isn’t dickish but … I have many decades of experience in this area, and I edited Guitar Player magazine for many years. Don’t hesitate to hit me up with any guitar Qs. It’s the least I can do, and thanks for your service. 🫡

Pyramid Gold Chrome Pure Nickel Flatwound Short Scale Bass Strings 40-100 Recapture the glory of mid-20th century rock and roll, country or Motown sound with the smooth feel and action of these flat-wound short scale bass strings.

Well, in the unlikely e went that you ever WERE to acquire one, invest in a great set like these. Spend, but they’ll
Last a decade or more if you clean ‘em. (Flats in general last far, far longer than roundwounds.)

You probably already know that Bass VI is the secret sauce on a high percentage of songs by the Cure. 🖤

I followed you for the sci-fi, not the guitar stuff, but hey … as someone who’s played Bass VI on a zillion albums, my #1 piece of advice is to replace the factory roundwounds with a high-end set of flatwounds. That’s what they used in all the great ‘60s rock, pop, and country records.

Absolution. Don’t wait.

Huh. At extended family Xmas dinner, I cited is as fave of the year. But then, I’m no Ed Champion, whoever he is.

Aww, thanks, Arion! Same back at you.

Hehe — I said it like a joke, but it wasn’t. 😀

No, thank YOU! 🩷

Have a great one, Emily. As someone whose birthday often falls on Thanksgiving, I relate to your tragic birthday/holiday proximity syndrome. Incurable, sadly.
