Music

When I'm not building Web sites, I'm probably playing guitar. I've been playing since 1997 and recently started posting some of my recordings online. Check 'em out:

Radiohead remix

On April 4, 2008, I entered the Radiohead remix contest. Here's more info about it, and you can vote/listen using this embedded player:

Thanks to the people who voted.

Videos

Check out my YouTube channel for videos of myself playing various songs, including:

I post stuff a couple times a month, so make sure to click the "subscribe" button on my channel page. (This helps motivate me to post more videos, as it's nice to know how many people are interested in my music.)

MP3s

Here are some MP3s of songs I've performed/recorded:

"Happiness"

A song off of my 1999 album "Long Story" (not available to the public). It's instrumental acoustic guitar, with Spanish guitar touches.

"Once Upon A Dream"

Acoustic version of the song from "Sleeping Beauty."

Gypsy jazz version of "Super Mario Bros. 2" theme

This is the theme from the first level of Mario 2, done in the acoustic-swing style of Django Reinhardt.

"Waltz #2 (XO)"

My solo-guitar arrangement of a great Elliott Smith tune.

Live in Chicago

Sometimes I sit in with various bands in Chicago, including Alfonso Ponticelli and Swing Gitan, a gypsy jazz band. Check out the upcoming gigs. The band is highly recommended, regardless of whether my dubious rhythm guitar playing is involved!

Guitar tabs of my arrangements

At the request of dozens of musicians, I've created guitar tabs/transcriptions of some of my more popular YouTube videos. Here they are:
