    Not a fan of the word composition, at least not for what I do. So here's some songwriting. With a cheesy casio drum loop, ukulele, and ukulele bass... woohoo. Not jazz.

    I like it, Frank!

    As for terms, I prefer 'song(s)' and 'songwriting'. For an instrumental, "tune".

    I stopped writing and started learning about playing changes and where bebop came from. I'm still learning!
    This was on my GB10 (long gone)

    this sounds really good man!

    Thanks, Clint. I did it yesterday afternoon. It was supposed to be in Ab but I kept wanting to play natural D's and B's... weird.

    This is 4 years ago and I have had painfully little time to write since then. Lacking guitar parts and all instruments are Apple Logic.
    Curious, also interested in criticisms!

    This is a tune I composed called Nani Wahi Blues, which in Hawaiian mean beautiful place. It is basically a blues with a few tonal diversions. I didn't write it out because it is a simple melody. It is played on two acoustic guitars and bass.

    An easygoing tune in three-quarter time. The solo section is my attempt to emulate John Abercrombie’s 1980s ECM electric mandolin sound.

    A friend from work said it made him want to get the vacuum cleaner and vacuum the house so I called it vacuum cleaner. I'm very limited with jazz. I can't play much faster than that and can't remember many songs. Playing solo guitar is torture. I got a little better with chords since then. For money- R$B. I'm really a bluesman. I like old pop music too.

    Shop-till-you-drop..
    I can see that. Thanks.

    Funny that. I’m a blues man too. Started guitar at 35 - when I had 30 years of piano under my belt- because certain John Lee Hooker pieces must have guitar. Did you see mine?

    Crooked junkie nurses. It reminds me of 'Nurse Jackie' for some reason. I just binge watched it on Netflix.

    This one was inspired by John Abercrombie’s great ECM album “Characters” and the distinctive sound of his electric mandolin from his late ‘70s/ early ‘80s recordings.
