I've released an album entitled "Classical Guitar Remix Band Plays Debbie Friedman Classics." It contains orchestrated original solo guitar arrangements of some of Debbie Friedman's most loved melodies. Fourteen of the 18 tracks were drafted in BIAB, polished, mixed and rendered in Real Band then professionally mastered. The Debbie Friedman melodies are used with permission through a formal agreement.

Here is a sample entitled:
"Oshe Shalom (Hopes for Peace) (Variations 1 & 2 Mix)"

Detail on Variation 1:
Style: _STRFOLK
Bass: RT 2474
Drums: RD Nashv EV8
Rhythm guitar: RS 676
B3 organ: RT 675
Lead classical guitar: studio recording
Some 5-band EQ used.

Detail on Variation 2:
Style: _CJIGBZK
Bass = RB 518
Drums: RD Bodhran CJ
Rhythm guitar: RT 1163
Strings: RT 2457
Organ: RT 675
Lead classical guitar: studio recording
Some 5-band EQ used.

It seems like the video isn't available for us to listen to. Such a shame! I was looking forward to it. Must be because we're in Canada!

Weird, they are CD Baby generated -- really only audio with a static image of the album cover. Do you have a general problem with You Tube in Canada or just with my items?

You might try just going to You Tube music and look up "Joe Marks", then look for my album cover and see if you get a link that works.


For short samples of all tracks, physical CD's and downloads go to “store.CDBaby/artist/joemarks”.

For short samples of all tracks, downloads and digital sheet music, go to “oySongs.com/joemarks.”

................

And thanks for the compliments from those who were able to give a listen!

I did a search directly on YouTube was able to find your page and said there were 18 videos. But when I clicked on the link none were displayed. I did see one video with you playing acoustic in an orchestra environmemt however that was very enjoyable.

Thanks for trying. When you get to the "Joe Marks Topic" page, choose "Videos" on the top banner and see if you see the list of 18. The blue ones are the ones with backing tracks. The brown ones are guitar solos.
