alcyone - original fingerstyle

A new piece that I've been working on for the last month. It was inspired by Antoine Dyfour's playing and the beautiful little bird Alcyone (kingfisher). I didn't play it perfectly but it was close to what I wanted. I don't play very often lately and my hands are a little stiff. Anyway hope you like it George

Beautiful, George! You have captured all the great colours of Kingfisher in this tune. And you will catch many fishes with this song and playing.

  • stickgang I use to be a Chapman Stick player. Back in 1999 (before I got old and gray) I was a guest of Emmett Chapman at his NAMM booth. Emmett and Yuta are just wonderful people and they gave me a NAMM show pass in exchange for playing at their booth a few times per day. The guy on the left is Greg Howard, one of the best Stick players on the planet.
  • gregandsean At the 2nd Auburn bluegrass festival I taught a mandolin seminar. Here I am with my best student and good friend Sean Robinson. Sean's studying music at Berklee now.
  • gregclinic1smaller This was a fun day. I was teaching a seminar at the Auburn Bluegrass Festival. My seminar was called "Expand your bluegrass vocabulary". I talked about building riff based solos. Each riff is a word in your vocabulary and you would add and swap these words to build your solo.
  • Me_And_Martin I've been called a lot worse names!....I'll take that one! lol
  • Player_Finger_Mod Tuned down to D from the top down. It's got a Baritone sound that sounds good when played fingerstyle.
