Original songs by some of my friends. Me, on guitar and stuff.
•"KICKIN' THE NUT"
My Latest guitar instrumental I threw together for Myspace. c.2009
I just sum it up like Chickens, Horses and Noodles! A bunch of guitar player influences in this one, like Redd, Ray, Forest, Brad, and Buck & Don. The noodles come from me.
Written, played and produced by me.
My first try at Garage Band software.
•"PULLING PICKIN' CHICKEN"
A guitar instrumental I threw together for Myspace. c.2008
This was something I made up and wanted to record plain and simple. I plugged staight into the amp and mic'd it, using Tele Bridge pups on all the guitar parts. I overdrove my amp for the distortion and the only effect that I used was some delay during the solo parts that was provided by my cheap recording software. Clean and neat! Hope you like it!

Horse Trainer by day and Tele Picker by night... That sums it up pretty well until I find that elusive "fun or interesting gig".
Who knows what the next projects in the works are when I get some time, but a coffeehouse (with Telecaster) kinda tune that's been rattling around in my head and a remake of a tune by Ray Flacke and some more Chicker Picker may be fun!
Awh Hell... I just like pickin' guitar!
I love playing Telecasters and "balls to the wall" picking styles and this space has some stuff for y'all to listen to from some of the recordings I've made with friends and by myself.
Here's what some of my guitar heroes have to say about my playing...
Redd Volkaert: .."Bet you can't play that live!.." Oh wait, that's not the one... Here: .."Hell Yeah!.."
Forest Rodgers: .."I like it!.."
Ray Flacke: .."You play to the song!" & "Don't be so hard on yourself!.." Ray has actually said a bunch of great stuff, he's one of my teachers! I just like that last one, because it makes me think harder!
Brad Paisley: .."YOU bought that guitar?!.."
John Jorgenson: .."I'm guessing you're a guitar player!.."

Thanks very much for the add! Great country playing! I definitely like your tasty use of double-stops in your instrumentals (I enjoyed the other tracks too). Greetings from Paris, France; All the best.
Currently, we're playing locally here in the greater Houston area BUT if you or someone you know would like to book the band or our acoustic duo show we'll travel just about anywhere. Drop me a line at mike@parrish-hundley.com!!!!
