Hi
I haven't posted on here for quite a while, but here's the link to the latest album release from my band Rya. As usual all electric guitar parts (with 1 exception) were played on my 330. The basic perfomances were all recorded live in the studio and we have tried to keep that vibe.
Hope you enjoy ...

Hi, it's been a while since I posted a new song on here so I thought I'd give it another go. This one has a bit of reggae feel to it. The drummer loves playing reggae so I try and write one every now and then. Instrumentation is no different to what I usually use; two guitar tracks, bass, drums, and ...

Here’s my band’s latest tune. A very short and simple recording featuring 2 guitars, drums, bass, organ, and 2 vocals. I got other guitars, but always go back to my Rick 330 and that’s what I played on this song.
With this, I liked the challenge of trying to write a short song that contained intro ...

Not really a video, just audio on youtube with the lyrics.

We were rehearsing a new song called 'Chelsea's in love' and the bass player liked his part on the middle 8 so much he suggested we wrote a song around it. So we started jamming around the middle ...

Here's my band's first new song of '22. As always, I used my Rick 330 for the recording. It's a basic 2 guitar, bass, and drums backing with 3 vocal tracks overdubbed. A simple recording and a simple song using just 2 chords.
I hope you like it ...

We don't have a lot of gear to make these kind of recordings so they are a bit rough. Three mics on the drums, one on my AC30, I think the bass was DI'd, the vocals certainly were. Playing my Ric 330. I got a few more of these recordings, but the videos are a bit dull as it's just the same fixed 3 ...

Hi, thanks for the feedback, it's much appreciated. I'm glad you like the recording. When bands are allowed to play again we hope to include it in our set. The idea for the song came because I always do my washing on a Wednesday - perhaps I should create a more profound and deeper meaning! Anyway ...

Here's the latest one from my band, as usual all the guitar parts were recorded using my Rick 330. A very straightforward recording using drums, bass guitar, 2 guitars, and 3 vocal tracks. Nice to have been a little productive over the Easter holidays!
I hope you ...

Tried something a bit different with this one. It's a one chord song written around the bass line. I've never written a one chord song before either so that's something new for me. Got myself another 330 (this one's a fireglow) since the ...

Obviously no gigs these days, but we still get together to rehearse once a week. This a live recording made a while ago at a band rehearsal. The rehearsal room is very small, so small in fact that the PA speakers don't fit in the same room ...

Here's the latest song and video from my band Rya. As always, the guitar on the recording is my Rick 330. A very simple song (only 2 chords) and recording that is comprised of one guitar, bass, drums, and two vocal tracks. We enjoy playing this one. I never like making ...

Happy New Year everyone. Here's a video I've made for a new song. A simple 3 chord song with no chorus, it was inspired by a documentary I watched of the same name. As always I used my Rick 330 on the recording.
Hope you enjoy it.

Made this video about 3 years ago after the band's trip to Hamburg. Hope you enjoy it.

Since I've been encouraged to keep posting here I thought I'd share one that I recorded a few months ago. I've always loved reggae music so from time to time I'll try and write something in that genre. On all my recordings I use my Rick 330, but with this one I have a small confession. During the ...

Stuart please send more. This tune is nicely done. I especially like 1:25 to 1:50. It fits with my less is more philosophy these days. Nonetheless a solid effort. Thanks for sharing. :)
Thanks for the feedback Peter. I've always believed less is more, and when writing for a 3-piece band there is ...
