Laughinglarry's Scary Guitar Page - NOT for the faint of heart!

Well, I needed to have something to work on with the new Godin Multiac Nylon SA; thanks to Justinguitar.com for the excellent version of Silent Night that I just added to my page. This was recorded with a Zoom H4; one mic was directed at the guitar's top, the other at the Danelectro Dirty Thirty that I brought along over Christmas Vacation. I received the guitar the day that I left (the Tuesday prior to Christmas), and I wanted to be able to give folks a listen to the sound, so I brought along t… Continue

Sorry I haven't been around for a while. I've actually started taking my computer time and spending it practicing guitar! (I know, I know - about time!)

Anyway, one of my rare computer indulgences is Six String Bliss. This is a really fun and lively Podcast done by a couple of college friends (now in their 30's). They're regular guys, and they talk about all things guitar. The web site is www.sixstringbliss.com, and you can subscribe thr… Continue

In 1992 (or thereabouts) I started working sound for Lori’s band, Mama Anim. I had just left 60 Cycle Hum (a name I still LOVE!), and knew I could contribute as a soundman and guitar tech.

Since no one else was from Alabama, and we all thought it was freaking… Continue

Honestly, I had known about this group for a while before barging joining in. You see, the entire Title of the group had me thinking that it wasn't me. I've been in my current band (on and off) since 2000, and we are decidedly not a jam band.

We started working on a recording in 2004, and still aren't finished with it. We're doing it all home-spun, and since there's nobody to flog us into completing the project, we probably never will. It's not uncommon for me… Continue

Here's a little rundown on the songs that are currently posted:


Dark and Scary Night

This is a long-distance collaboration with Frank Schultz, who sent me tunes that he had already done as MESH, with his guitar parts taken out. That's my Ibanez Silver Series through my old rig – Ampeg VH-140C fed by a Korg A3 processor (the effects patches are all original).



Opus de Funk

This was a "challenge" by a friend who recorded the drums in a Pro-Tools plug-in called "twiddly bits". He gave it to M… Continue
