I recorded enough fingerstyle/classical tunes over the years that I thought it was time to bring the best of them together for a new  CD. All of these tunes except one are instrumentals without vocals. As you can see there are quite a few Beatles tunes. What can I say, I like Beatles songs. Some of these are classical tunes so I thought they were appropriate here as well.

I want to make something perfectly clear,
I record these songs with total respect for the artists that wrote and performed them originally. I never have and never will try to make money on any of these recordings. The songs on this CD cannot be sold for any reason because I don't own the rights to many of them. I record these songs for myself, my family and my
friends only, never to make money.

You can download any of these songs by right clicking on the link provided and selecting,

Tunes marked with an astericks were recorded in a single evening (11/26/2015). They are effectively live recordings of me playing my Zager acoustic. They are all two tracks: the first track is the Zager recorded directly (it is an electric acoustic) and the second is the Zager mic'ed with a condenser microphone.

Check out the 495's latest rock CD here.

Listen to this music with headphones for the best listening experience.
