Ben Howard has been one of my favorite guitarists and songwriters for many years now. Further Away is one of the more advanced songs I have ever attempted, but I think this turned out alright. The windchimes add a nice touch.
Notice the attachment I made for my capo – it’s a piece of metal and rubber I formed to bar the four bass strings. This song is also in a variation of open C tuning. Ben certainly makes you work for it!

The first original I’m posting up here! Written circa 2015… I’m calling it a demo because I hear a full band behind this song, although obviously I only recorded with guitar and voice. Let me know what you think!

Many more originals to come, stay tuned…

First recording using my new Scarlett 2i2 interface and condenser mic. I think that buzz is coming from the interface itself which seems counterintuitive… Anyway, enjoy!
