Description : Basically iv been trying to learn a new style of playing on acoustic guitar..basically you play a chord and tap out a melody. I came up with this after a daft mess about with the style. Im nowhere near good at this style yet but i hope to get better!.
This track is me and my acoustic...and the birds from outside my room that wouldn't shush while i was recording...so decided to record them and stick them in the track to fill it out a bit.
let me know what you think!
Description : A track I did with a friend ages ago. I play the guitar and he sang and wrote the lyrics. The lyrics came mostly from headlines in the newspaper that sunday. Recorded using a crappy old microphone direct into cubase with a few overdubs
Description : Just an acoustic/piano piece I threw together a few nights ago when coming home from university. My brother and I were doing some acoustic music together in my room, just having fun; came out with this; I immediately got on my DAW and recorded it before I forgot how ti went lol. Hoping to get some strings on it soon as well as some vocals from the bro! :P In the meantime, enjoy this instrumental.
Description : Here's a lil' acoustic instrumental I never wrote words to. Used a Guild acoustic guitar mic'd with an AKG C214 and my trusty ol' Yamaha MOX8 for other instruments (excluding shaker - that was real ;). You can find the guitar loops to this song on my profile page. Maybe one of you looperpeeps can come up with something for words on this. Otherwise, enjoy le moosic :3
Description : This is an acoustic cover of the song "Come As You Are" by David Crowder. I recorded, mixed, and mastered this one in two days! Almost done burned me out haha! Hope you enjoy!
My older brother does the lead vocals and I do everything else, from instrumentation to harmonies. No vocal-editing whatsoever in this one. The guitars were all one-take recordings. Updated the audio - I added tambourine hits in the 2nd and 3rd choruses; just helps make for a more moving song.
Description : This track contains only free loops from several Looperman artists. Enjoy! There is a drumless version too, with completely different atmosphere : https://www.looperman.com/tracks/detail/181322

Description : It gives me great pleasure to upload this track I did with Richie. Usually we work "backwards", with him building a track around my vocs, but this time his instrumental came first. I love it's encouraging and motivational lyrics and as always Richie's care in making EVERYTHING perfect! :-) Totally didn't know what genre to put it in. Enjoy.
Description : NOTICE: this song is made ONLY FOR NON-COMMERCIAL PURPOSES. Contains an emulation of a TM legendary song (send to the original authors, i add them on Fb time ago).
This is a surprise, for those was young in 1999, for the beloved Patricia (and the gift of her voice) and my brothers Nous2 and Jamid, kind people i met here. Let's go crying guys, hope you enjoy.
Description : Working on my acoustic recording quality. What do you guys think? I'll extend this once it's closer to completion.

Description : There were two separate tracks in work, but who knows why I got tired with them and then decided to merge them (or at least what left from them) into one piece hence they originate out of same musical purpose. No worries...no world war was ment here, except my recent personal one...haha...and you don't want to know about it.:) It's not real etude by any means, yet it's quite alot about practicing...practicing...
Description : This is my attempt at the one-hour challenge for LM (finished at 57 min 48 sec). I had to mix/master on the go and this was the result. Some bad chords here and there that I did my best to conceal, one-takes on guitar and piano and used an awesome acapella from a1000times, who wrote the words that Dikaiko sang over. I really like her voice. Anyhoo yea, I like this one a lot so probably gonna come back to this in the near future. Comments welcome.
I got the acapella here: https://www.looperman.com/acapellas/detail/7656/marauder-feat-dikaiko-by-a1000times-132bpm-dance-acapella
EDIT: This track has been updated. I think I'm going to call it finished :)
Description : BEAUTIFUL guitar with pianino chords. This is sad guitar. But this guitar have a positive mood.
Description : I put this under acoustic even though I did use a couple midi tracks. I felt they sounded acoustic enough to put the track in that category. Suppose it could be chill out as well, however you want to label it, do so. I used an Indian flute and an electric guitar sounding plugin with some tremolo added along with acoustic guitar, mandolin and harmonica. Nothing too complicated here and I felt it sounded good enough to upload so enjoy!
Description : This track contains only free loops from several Looperman artists. Had to thank once again the excellent loops to their owners - i think the result is one of my best tracks ever, plus have a slight spaghetti western like feeling which is cool ... Hope you will like it too. :)

Description : Remastered March 2023. Recorded live on two mics. For my wee daughter Tui; I wrote it sitting on the bathroom floor, keeping her company while she was in the bath....
Fantastic Chris...you know how it's meant to sound and my respect for your guitar ability grows with every track...and when you do sing,it's the whole package.
Allen
woah!! This song is amazing!!! I don't know what your talking about this sounds amazing!! Would you mind if i tried to sing on top of this? let me know man all your tracks are so great man!!
Jonathon
This is very cool, a bit like Antoine Dufour, and Andy McKee if you don't know who they are check them out on Youtube they are amazing and make me wish I never learned to play guitar because they are so good. I always wanted to play a tapping style but it is way out of my league. Great Job on this sounds very good, nice and relaxing.
Beautiful!I can't think what else to say,this is too beautiful for words!!
Can i have this one? Goooshhh i would pay you for it!
Hey mate must say i really enjoyed this! i listened to this all the way through more than once! looking forward to hearing more!
Adding in the birds....brilliant.
Made me feel like I was chillin' with you in a beautiful park. Wanted some lyrics to sing along :D (Well, probably just some oooh's and aaaah's to harmonize and not take away from the guit.)
Hi Chris,
So nice to hear acoustic guitar playing cleanly. I have a Mitchell one I bought last year.
'Tapping' is what I call what your doing. Steve Vai and many other rock guitarist also do it. I have done some, but I am not good at it as it takes practice. However, it sounds like your on your way.
The birds in the background weren't a distraction to me. Even added to the ambiance to it all I feel, if anything.
I think you did a very nice job and hope you'll do more.
Randy
this is very relaxing man...i like it...its off the hook...it really relaxes u...!
nice work...u got the skillz
keep em coming...
K.I.M
chrilsh, I have to first agree that your clean tone and the way you have worked on developing this chord-melody tapping makes this so enjoyable to listen to and even more so if one is also a guitarist...beautiful melody and textures, this is great work!
thanks for sharing this man!

Nice style, nice touch. This track has great atmosphere and a relaxing effect. Seems like a great deal better than just "messing around" to me. Good work!
I have attention deficit when it comes to music so it takes a lot to keep my interest. This definitely did with the variety and the changes that happen right when they are needed. It was relaxing and yet musically interesting at the same time. That is perfect. Put out more like this. I also like the bird background. I made me feel like you were tapping out a tune on the front porch on a summer day. Awesome. Kper
hahaha bud...just wow, ive seen this playing style before, and attempted it a couple of times, but i couldnt get the hang of it...you blew it away. spot on man...beautiful as neverland bud...im really digging your stuff.
Man this is seriously awesome...great tone and feel. Very nicely done. I would love to collaborate on some tracks. This is very clean...great recording the birds are a good touch or maybe more robots. I have a track with frogs.
Good Job,
Martin

This is the very first acoustic track that Im fav'ng. I mainly do hip hop and chill out but on occasion I'll stop and check out an Acoustic track ... Well, the peacefullness you acquired with this display is unmatched, for real. I really dont know what else to say about this other than the ambiance of the birds tying everything together, it worked nicely. I have a track that Im almost done with where I incorporated birds within a forest and after hearing this Im sticking with that. If I were you, run with this style as well as your others. Keep doin your thing.
J DOT ~ 2006
i like this track could you send me that track to me
totally love it. so chilled out
there are few beautiful things in the world one of them is this man....keep doing what u do an inspiration already to me....thanks!
Even tho the birds were a nuisance to you. They add a really great ambiance to the composition. Beautiful acoustic playing! Liked the tapped harmonics and the reverb.
