Experimental/free etc music

BTW, playing with your eyes closed is not a great idea....ha ha.

[corpse]

Why not?

[guitarvegas]

Why not?

At least not for me. Tried it this morning....that didn't go well..lol

[corpse]

I will try it tonight.

Prepared guitar "stream of consciousness play," based off of a theme of two chords, which i come back to a few times. Hope you enjoy

[corpse]

Nice one, Jeff. Perfectly balanced effect.

Is that a bit of paper tucked into the strings, Jeff?

that would be the “preparation.”

Cool one, Jeff! You caught me off-guard with this one.

Indeed it is. The old Johnny Cash trick.

Here is a new one I did today. This one took me someplace else....and I liked it enough to share it. Have fun all, this is a great thing we are doing together!

So, as long as there’s a love fest for freeform, here’s a brand new one…

Man, Mark...that was so beautiful!

These funeral bells sound appealing to me as a corpse.

I know, played with that maybe 30 years ago, couldn't understand why I was doing it. But it sounds even better using a metal pick. Still got it :-)

[guitarvegas]

Hey, Corpse....I dig it!

[ragman1]

Man, Mark...that was so beautiful!

I'm surprised you never saw all his vids here before. Under 'Songs'. Thing is, Mark really knows how to do jazz properly. He's pretty good. I saw him smile once

I have.....he is a master IMO.

I did this earlier, a sort of ode to winter. I must have synced with Jeff on the two chords idea.

I really don’t think so. Smiling and opening my eyes are two things I never do when playing.

Ah, maybe it was an involuntary facial rictus. Nasty things :-)

Thanks for building vocabulary for me. Had to look it up and it’s a good one; a real jazz face! “an expression in which someone shows their teeth in a smile, but looks strange or in pain rather than looking happy and relaxed: When I mentioned her name, his wide smile stiffened into a rictus.”

In case anyone was wondering what my little tin box was, they were Altoids, small mints you could suck. We're talking the 60s or 70s but they're still going strong. That's a modern pic below, my tin is pretty beat up now.

But there were other brands too that did liquorice and aniseed, and all that. Can't remember what were called now but very nice.

I wasn't wondering, but thanks.
