Eric’s Playtime Series # 12 – Open D Fun

Uncategorized
When I need a guitar, I always have one. I even have a carbon fiber guitar that lives in my car trunk. A Carbon Fiber guitar is not affected by the temperature. It is also impervious to water and

is made from materials that are not damaged by impacts. So it is safe to “live” in the trunk. I always have a guitar close by. I hate to wait for anything without a guitar.

Playtime # 12 is played in Open D Tuning on my “at work” guitar. Back in those days I spent a lot of time in Open D. Earlier it was open E but on the 12-string the high G string kept breaking trying to go up to a G#, so I chose to instead go down to F# and Open D tuning. I do know the neck quite well in Open D but I still find new and beautiful things to do.

Eric’s Playtime Series # 11 – In the Groove

Uncategorized
Playtime # 11 is played in Drop D Tuning on my classical guitar. It is amazing how, even an inexpensive, nylon string guitar can have such tone.

Start with a groove, add a riff or two – Voila – song. Played in drop D this song is well liked! Played immediately after composing. A matter of minutes.

Eric’s Playtime is all about an authentic presentation of real time creativity. One-Take ensures all the mistakes are there too!

I used to play during lunches and to take a break at the place I worked back then. In this video I explain this to a passerby. A minute later my boss walks by and leers at me. LOL. It was my lunch break!

Eric’s Playtime Series # 10 – Practical Man

Uncategorized
A fun blues piece. Originally written to accompany some lyrics I wrote as a funny song about a guy who treated woman with no respect. Later I decided that the lyrics are too rude and so now

the song is waiting for the right lyrics to match the feel.

I used to play this in public at places like Newburyport Harbor and people walking by almost always moved to the groove. More than others of my songs.
