Elements of Friction

If Your Tomorrow Never Comes I think this is my favourite guitar solo I have every played on record. All the solos on this record were improvised and Ricky and I chose the best parts of each take.
Havana Great rocking track
One Man One Heart As far as I can remember, this is the first time I have combined "metal" and flamenco guitar.
One Fatal Word I really enjoyed layering all the guitar parts on this one
Who Is This Talking You can really hear the "John Waite" in this one!
Light at the End of the Tunnel Chorus sounds menacing to me -especially the last one
Read My Mind I had to learn Neal Schon's parts on this coz he played on the demo. If that wasn't enough, I had cop his amazing feel. I got close but not quite!
I Got Loaded The was hard to record becasue it's such a slow laid back feel. I like the way it all came out though
King of Fools Ricky did a nice job playing the solo on this one.
Forever This is my favorite song on the record. Mainly becasue of the great vocal and melody. Ricky wrote it and played most of the lead gtr. I played the rhythm gtr and harmonies on the way out.
Innocent Touch

Fredericksen Phillips

Oh Diane This was the first song I recorded for a "real" record. I did all the rhythms and Steve Farris played the rest. He's a great guitarist
You Must Be a Liar Michael Tovar and I played the gtrs. Mike's playing all the blistering blues. This was an exciting track for me coz I wrote all the gtr parts and played a Plexi through a leslie. Talk about a GRIN!
Queen Bee Ricky and I co wrote this one. Mike Finnigan played B3 which was a thrill. Bobby Blotzer is on drums.
Long Way Around the World Pat Torpey on drums. Great vibe on this one. That's Tover again on slide gtr
How Much Longer I didn't play on this one, Tim Pierce did, but I wanted to post it to remember our friend John Purdell who co wrote it and sang BGs. I always loved this song.

Misc Sessions and Productions

Israeli Soldier Here a cool track by an artist called Hayla. Tal Bergman and Renato Neto produced the track and I produced the vocals.
Everything Phil Soussan asked me to sing on this track he was producing and here's the result...we both enjoyed the session and hope to repeat soon.
Vuelve Maria Jaime Roldan just produced a record of his own songs done by other artists. I sang this one.
You Become My World I love this world music track. I wrote it and Tal Bergman and I produced it.
Lost I love the way this track sounds and really enjoy playing this style of guitar - simple but with lost of character, at least I think so! Tal and I produced it for an artist called Gilat

Demos

A Perfect World Demo with bare bones production.
Time and Tide Wait for No Man Another bare bones demo. I sort of like doing these no frills recordings

Ku De Ta

Through It All This is on of my fav projects.Ricky Phillips, Jeff Scott Soto. The first song skips a bit but worth listening on.
Skeletons Rick wrote some great lyrics on the record. This is just one example.
Still be Loving You This track can also be found on Jeff's Essential Ballads record. I like the spanish gtr on this one
You'll Always Touch Me A clever compilation of Jimi Hendrix lyrics. Amazing vocal!!
2012 Rick wrote this on piano and asked me to transcribe and put on gtr - hence the 2 foot long chords!
The Night She Said Goodbye The first song we recorded and the song that helped us define the style of guitar playing for the record
Fools Gold Nice blend of flamencoish spanish guitar and rocky soulful vocals. Jeff sounds amazing especially towards the end of this one.
Window To You Soul Trying to play like joe pass on this one. That's Rick doing the main part. I come in with the walking bass guitar comp and the solo.

Unreleased World Rock Project

Fallin These tracks are a series of demos I did while living in Spain in 2003-4. I'm planning on getting them placed or released one of these days
Can You Feel Me?
Tuyo Siempre Sere Steve Stevens played a great solo on this track. He and I worked together on some promo for Flamenco A GoGo and I played on Situation Dangerous
Rescue Me I toured Europe with Mike Tramps band, Freak of Nature. This is a "world rock" cover I did of their first single. It's a REAL sitar in the solo!
City of Life I like the way the acoustic and the Flamenco guitars work together on this track
Would You Believe In Me?
Tal Vez Ceeras En Mi
Lay Me Down I suppose this whole project could be called "World Rock" and I think this track sums it up.
The Eyes of the World Within hours of 11M bombing in Madrid i locked myself in the studio for a day and demoed this song.
Far Away

Shuki Levy

ULYSSES This theme of cartoon series, ULYSSES was an anthem for us kids in Spain. On this remake, I produced vocals, gtrs and some keys. Tal played drums, perc and did a great job building the track
Cites of Gold Another remake of one of Shuki's cartoon series Themes. This was also big one. Again I produced all vocals and played guitars. Terry Ilous sang lead on both of these
