In Bb 2.0

“An acoustic guitar, a clarinet, and a glass marimba” sounds a little like the setup for a joke about musicians walking into a bar. But on In Bb 2.0, the Web project from producer and songwriter Darren Solomon, it’s just one possible combination of instruments that can be played individually or all at once, simultaneously or staggered, and mixed according to each listener’s… Continue

The Music Of Poligraf : Leftoverturned part 1



(Detail from "American quilt" )





When I complete a composition there are often unused ideas left. Some of those I find actually pretty good but if I can’t see how to fit them into the piece then there’s not much choice but to discard them. For a while.

Just Some Privite Info

Just for the record. Everyone sees me playing my Epiphone Les Paul Standard. I do own and play an Ovation CC24 Celebrity Acoustic/Electric and a Martin tweleve string acoustic. I also play a Casio and Yamaha keyboards as well as percussion including a Slingerland drum kit. I didn't want you to think that I owned was the Les Paul. LOL!

Mixing Acoustic with Electric

The others are all electric, keyboards, or percussion added. We are hoping to be able to release our first CD by… Continue

My Week at Kaufman Kamp

I spent last week at Steve Kaufman’s award-winning Acoustic Kamp, teaching guitar to around 150 guitarists, jamming with campers, and performing with current and past musical partners. It was Flatpicking, Banjo, and Mandolin week, which you might think would be dominated by bluegrass pickers and jams, but the presence of Celtic guitarist Tony McManus, Italian flatpicker Beppe Gambetta, jazz chord–solo specialist John Carlini, old-time oriented flatpickers Robin Kessinger and Eric Thompson,… Continue

Website for an amazing guitarist!

After watching his video on Harp Guitars.net, I was in awe of the compositional skills and sheer mastery of Carter Lancaster. Unfortunately at the time, he was about as difficult to get info on as Osama bin Laden. Happily I was able to connect with Carter and over the past month, I've helped him put together what we think is a pretty nice website allowing others to keep in touch and gain some insight into some of Carter's work. Please feel free to check out… Continue

Tuners for FG260 Yamaha 12 String

I can't find a replacement tuner for my Fg 260. Anyone run into this problem? Find a solution/supplier? I've found replacement tuner sets that are 1" center post to center post and they are too wide. Mine are approx. 15/16" center to center with a total length of 5" outside post to outside post (126mm). The tuner sets I've tried are 130 mm. Any help would be appreciated!
