Hey guys! I wrote this song a couple years ago with some great friends in Morgantown, WV, and we actually recorded it on a record. I was feeling a little nostalgic this week so I thought I'd throw together this quick arrangement. Enjoy! All the writing credits of this 7/4 funk tune: Alex Heflin John Posey Eli Weidman Greg Thurman Oh, and if you're interested, here's the lead sheet: ...
Hey guys! I went after another traditional tune this week. Here's my rendition of Goodnight Irene.
Thought you guys may dig this one. This week I worked on a classic - Otis Redding's Sittin on the Dock of the Bay. Mostly I was trying to transcribe his vocal inflections. Anyway I hope you enjoy!
After hearing that Bill Collings passed away a few weeks ago I decided I wanted to put together an arrangement of a more traditional tune. Anyway here's my arrangement - I hope you enjoy!
Hey guys! This week I decided to put together a quick mandolin/guitar arrangement of the Bill Evans blues Interplay. I thought you may enjoy!
Hey guys! I'm a huge fan of Julian Lage and I have been listening to his trio album, Arclight, since it was released. I couldn't help but cover his arrangement of the Spike Hughes tune, "Nocturne." I believe this tune was originally recorded in 1933 by Spike Hughes (feel free to correct me if I'm wrong), and I immediately fell in love with both his and Julian's arrangements. I hope you dig it!

Hey guys! I posted over in the jazz forum as well, but I thought I would throw the videos up here. I'm putting out a duo new record on May 5th with the incredibly talented Mike Gurrola on bass. Here is a live take of the record's title track!
Here starts year two! This is the 53rd weekly cover. I heard baseball season just started up, so what better week than to play through Take Me Out to the Ball Game. I took a little inspiration from Don's arrangement, though I kept it in three. Hope you guys enjoy!
