about

All of these songs were written and recorded six to almost eight years ago as I was working on a second album. I ended up having a falling out with guitar because of anxiety and walked away for several years. I now have been playing again for a while but I'm writing in a completely different genre. I decided to pull together the songs I had and release them for those that enjoyed what I was doing. Turns out I had enough already written for a short (33 minute) album! I would much rather make these available for anyone that would want them instead of just letting them rot on a hard drive. So here we go, round 2! All solo acoustic guitar fingerpicking instrumentals. This time though, none of the songs have been mastered. All of these are the recorded audio from the YouTube videos I posted years ago that I would release as I wrote them. So mistakes and all, some Lo-Fi fingerpicking goodness for you. But what this also means is if you go to my YouTube page, you can watch me play each one of these. Even more experimental than the first album as I would keep writing as I would learn new techniques. "Lo-Fi and Barefoot" is a natural continuation of my self titled album released eight years ago. I hope you enjoy!
