Another standard tuning song

Another song I wrote last year.

A song in standard tuning for a change!

Here’s a little song I wrote last year. Not much to say about it except that the guitar is a Washburn Woodstock 12-strings.

Two old songs written in the early 1990s

I made these demos recently. These are written in DGDGBD and DGDGBE respectively:

“Boréal“

“Appalaches“

These two songs are part of a song cycle titled “Chemin de terre” (“Dirt road“). There is a third song in this cycle, titled “Laurentien“, which should be posted in a few weeks.

A small bonus while waiting for the tuning

I wrote this close to ten years ago, at about the same time as the song “Magnificos” (below). If I remember correctly, the tuning for this is EBBGBD.

“Flora“

The dangers of alternate tunings

I’m presently working on a composition with the tuning EDEBCA and I just found a chord progression which reminds me of a song I wrote nearly ten years ago in another tuning. I have lost a long time ago the spelling of the tuning in which that song was written and that is one of the main reason behind the existence of this blog: documenting with text and video all songs written in alternate tunings.

While you’re waiting for the EDEBCA composition, I’ve uploaded a recording of the song written in the lost tuning.
