Music
When I'm not building Web sites, I'm probably playing guitar. I've been playing since 1997 and have posted some of my recordings online. Check 'em out:
Videos
Check out my YouTube channel for videos of myself playing various songs. I also have a page on this site that lists all of the videos.
I post stuff a couple times a month, so make sure to click the "subscribe" button on my channel page. (This helps motivate me to post more videos, as it's nice to know how many people are interested in my music.)
Radiohead remix
Back in April 2008, I entered the first Radiohead remix contest. Radiohead provided raw tracks of their vocals, and I wrote a guitar part to fit them. Here's more info about it, and you can listen to my entry using this embedded player:
Thanks to the people who voted for me. My remix was mentioned in Rolling Stone Magazine!
MP3s
Here are some MP3s of songs I've performed/recorded:
"Happiness"
A song off of my 1999 album "Long Story" (not available to the public at this point). It's instrumental acoustic guitar, with Spanish guitar touches.
"Once Upon A Dream"
Acoustic version of the song from "Sleeping Beauty."
Gypsy jazz version of "Super Mario Bros. 2" theme
This is the theme from the first level of Mario 2, done in the acoustic-swing style of Django Reinhardt.
"Waltz #2 (XO)"
My solo-guitar arrangement of a great Elliott Smith tune.
Live in Chicago
Sometimes I sit in with various bands in Chicago, including Alfonso Ponticelli and Swing Gitan, a gypsy jazz band. Check out the upcoming gigs. The band is highly recommended, regardless of whether my dubious rhythm guitar playing is involved!
I also play frequently at the Edgewater Lounge with the Chico Malo Trio, on Sundays from 4-7 p.m.
Guitar tabs of my arrangements
At the request of dozens of musicians, I've created guitar tabs/transcriptions of some of my more popular YouTube videos. Here they are:
