This is the closest I ever came to a "Celtic" composition. It started off as an experiment with counterpoint, but something tribal seems to have taken over. The tuning is DADGDE and I don't use my harmonic capo on this one.

IDIBITS was the first tune I composed after that meeting. The tuning is fairly radical, AadEaE. (My harmonic capo is applied on the "lowercase" strings.)

The tuning is AAdeae, with my Harmonic Capo applied to the four higher strings. Listen for the high "eae" harmonic chord that keeps popping up like a jumping frog. This version of the video was remastered for better audio sync than the original.

Fans of minimalism will recognize the Steve Reich and Philip Glass influences. The tuning is CGdgde, with my Harmonic Capo applied to the "dgde" strings. The piece looks simple, but the rhythyms can be very tricky.

People have been asking when I'm going to release something new. This tune was composed about two days ago and it's still a bit rough but I think this one will probably be on the next CD. The effect of the Harmonic Capo is fairly subtle in this one, but I couldn't play it without it. Enjoy.
This tune only uses the Harmonic Capo on the two middle strings, but it still makes a big difference. Even with the capo, I can't always reach the notes I need, so I end up doing something else weird... see if you can spot it.

It's a harmonic capo - my own invention. The tuning is AAdeae. The harmonic capo produces open-string harmonics on the "lowercase" strings. You can hear the higher harmonic "eae" chord played between each of the opening chords.
I had the frets replaced on this guitar a few years ago and I gave the luthier a hard time about how I wanted the action set. I was being very picky. At one point, he said, "Oh, c'mon! How much of the neck do you really use?" I said, "All of it."
I don't think he believed me.
