Some of my earliest material after I invented the Harmonic Capo. This piece shows what it can do in standard tuning.

Some of my early classical and jazz-inspired material, composed before I invented the Harmonic Capo.

I'm working on a new Harmonic Capo for classical guitars. It's designed to attach at or above the neck joint. In this video, I'm experimenting with it all the way up on the 19th fret. That harmonic is the same as at the 7th fret, but in that position, the capo is completely out of the way.

This video explains how the Harmonic Capo works and includes detailed demonstrations of what it can do.

Another demo of my Harmonic Capo. This tune is pretty subtle, but features a passage where both hands are fingering and picking the strings at the same time. Impossible without the Harmonic Capo.

This tune only uses the Harmonic Capo on the middle two strings, but the effect makes a big difference.

No, it's not an Elvis cover. It's another demonstration of my Harmonic Capo

A new composition. It'll be on my next CD. It's a subtle demonstration of what my Harmonic Capo can do.

This video demonstrates my Harmonic Capo on an electric guitar.

This tune seems to have a story to tell. It's another good demonstration piece for my Harmonic Capo. There a lot of "pulled off" harmonics in it. Notice that when pulling off a string below the capo, the pitch goes up instead of down. The tonal range of the piece is pretty extreme too. The first two notes (played together) are four octaves apart.

This tune reminded me of a brief rainstorm, starting and ending with a few drops, but with a downpour inbetween. Fans of minimalism will recognize the Steve Reich and Philip Glass influences. The tuning is CGdgde, with my Harmonic Capo applied to the "dgde" strings. It looks simple, but the rhythyms are very tricky.

Back in 1989, I sent a cassette tape of my music to my hero, Michael Hedges. I didn't expect to hear from him, but he called me and we met two weeks later. I only got to meet him once, but we spent over an hour playing for each other and trading our technical tricks. IDIBITS was the first tune I composed after that meeting and it is dedicated to Michael.

This is an excerpt of a longer tune, but it demonstrates some of what my Harmonic Bridge can do.

This is the closest I ever came to a Celtic composition. It started off as an experiment in counterpoint and then something tribal took over...

Solo acoustic fun. This tune is great fun to play and shows off an invention of mine called a Harmonic Capo. You can barely see it, strapped to the neck at the 12th fret, but it allows me to play all kinds of note combinations and progressions that would normally be impossible.
