The Monday Blues with a twist of Hendrix

Have not posted anything for quite some time - seems that life just gets busier and busier - but must squeeze in time to just unwind and lay down a few guitar riffs to ease the stress. 
Monday's always seem to hit a blues note in my mind, so here's a little diddly I just extrapolated upon with a little Hendrix thrown in for good measure.

Metal Ballad Guitar Lead Improvisation

What do you get when you combine Hendrix like licks and video with Alan Parsons? This resulting late night video.

Impromptu Guitar Licks to The Fixx - Made For The Future

Haven't posted anything for a while - so while doing a practice session last night - just flipped on the webcam and this was the result.  Just some fun with extrapolation on different riffs based on the 1980's The Fixx - Made For The Future. 

Rotational Rampage

Now it seems that our world is in a very provocative and precarious state at present, needless to say.  And with the knowledge that we are all sailing through space at a speed of 19,000 mph, while suspended on a spherical globe which is spinning, gyrating and tilting simultaneously, while at the same time being bombarded by solar winds of gamma, beta and theta waves - not to mention the fact that we only know about approximately 5% of the matter in the universe.  I felt it fitting to just post a video which just gives a sense of the need to just hold on and enjoy the ride, because it might be a wild and unpredictable ride, but when all is said and done,  we've made the best of it and grabbed hold and taken life for a ride nonetheless.  For some reason, that's the feel I have with this little guit-diddly I call Rotational Rampage.

During my college years at the University of Utah, I was fortunate enough to have the opportunity to take a course which was basically an excursion through the color country of Southern Utah.  There were actually two classes which broke into two separate trips, a full blown camping field trip through each of the state and national parks in the southern portion of Utah.  Although, at the time I was somewhat familiar with the geology and region, I had never fully experienced the magnificence of color country. 
It's easy to scratch the surface of scenery by just looking at pictures and possibly visiting the area, but until you actually embark on an expedition and really explore the vast unknown of some of these regions, you'll never have or grasp a full appreciation of the grandeur which awaits your well spent energy to explore. 
So, it was with that recollection of memories that I stumbled upon this time lapse film of Delicate Arch that I was motivated to create somewhat of a new age Musical Mindscape creation of guitar licks which I tried to recapture the wonder and awe I felt while exploring these amazing formations of mother nature, aka God.
