LOVE IN THE TIME OF MONSTERS

LOVE IN THE TIME OF MONSTERS

LOVE IN THE TIME OF MONSTERS

A BEAUTIFUL, complex Sextet arrangement, impossible to play for standard guitarists, for these terrible times featuring sicko dictators and bozo politicos.

STARLESS

LOVE IN THE TIME OF MONSTERS

LOVE IN THE TIME OF MONSTERS

The KING CRIMSON classic 

re-arranged by me to lose the horrible back end and incorporate elements from that part into the beautiful front.

BECAUSE

LOVE IN THE TIME OF MONSTERS

HIS FUNNY WAYS

The Beatles classic done with 9 guitars, 2 basses; an early SEXTET- style arrangement, not-for-note reproduction with some added Tomita flavor by me.

HIS FUNNY WAYS

DIRTY LITTLE SECRET

HIS FUNNY WAYS

Goodbye Larry C. and your 

Funny Ways.

I miss playing together, 

but not the shenanigans.

R.I.P Brother.

DIRTY LITTLE SECRET

DIRTY LITTLE SECRET

DIRTY LITTLE SECRET

My best selling song from 

"The Timbercats" cd...in fact, it's my best selling song!

I wonder why.

SEXBOMB

DIRTY LITTLE SECRET

DIRTY LITTLE SECRET

My testament to Marylin. Pretty sure I'm the only guy who's talked with her since she passed - take a listen... I think I'm right about this.

MY ONLINE MUSIC CATALOGUE - SINGLE RELEASES PAGE 3

MERRY, MARY, MARRY

SONG of LOTUS SUTRA

MERRY, MARY, MARRY

I wrote this piece, inspired by my own pencil reproduction of The Pieta by on of my heroes, a guy named Michelangelo.

SMOKE IN A BOTTLE

SONG of LOTUS SUTRA

MERRY, MARY, MARRY

A haunting fingerstyle guitar piece, lush and very difficult to play. It's the music I composed as a commission for a pop song that was never released.

SONG of LOTUS SUTRA

Nam-Myoho-Renge Kyo

This is the original version.

I am writing a new one!

WHEN LOVE'S NOT AROUND

WHEN LOVE'S NOT AROUND

WHEN LOVE'S NOT AROUND

Designed for Whitney Houston and put on hold for Universal Music for what was to be her new album - and then she died.

That's sad. A GREAT tune.

A Killer dance tune!

DAMNED IF I DON'T, DAMNED IF I DO

DAMNED IF I DON'T, DAMNED IF I DO

DAMNED IF I DON'T, DAMNED IF I DO

This song was another record deal that didn't come to pass, but a great song. The title is what attracted the label.

RUN OFF WITH JESUS CD - BEST 1 of 2

SHE'S A LIVE WIRE

THE 5 YEAR OLD DANNY ELFMAN

THE 5 YEAR OLD DANNY ELFMAN

Cool tune. Killer Harpsichord solo, if I do say so myself. Sequenced, yes, but I still played it. And sang it. And wrote the music and lyrics.

THE 5 YEAR OLD DANNY ELFMAN

THE 5 YEAR OLD DANNY ELFMAN

THE 5 YEAR OLD DANNY ELFMAN

I love Danny Elfman because he's infinitely creative and Oingo Boingo was one of the best bands to ever exist. I think this tune inspired him...

DECLARATION OF LOVE

THE 5 YEAR OLD DANNY ELFMAN

ALWAYS KNOW YOUR LOVE

A touching little acoustic guitar and voice thing I did in 1983, singing both parts. Concerns someday dying after a lifetime with a married partner.

ALWAYS KNOW YOUR LOVE

PASCUAL LIVES: THE SUITE

ALWAYS KNOW YOUR LOVE

"I Will always know your love, even if you go a million miles away..." I play all the parts here, sax, piano, fretless bass, etc.

ON THE SURFACE

PASCUAL LIVES: THE SUITE

PASCUAL LIVES: THE SUITE

Shirley, Schwab and Santa Maria.

Live in the studio, no overdubs - when did you last see a band doing originals LIVE that could do this music??? Oh well ...

PASCUAL LIVES: THE SUITE

PASCUAL LIVES: THE SUITE

PASCUAL LIVES: THE SUITE

Larry Coryell performs the solos in the center, the rest is me. He said after learning his parts: "Paul, I had no idea you had such depth". Thanks.

RUN OFF WITH JESUS BEST - 2 of 2

FRIDAY NIGHT

So Lonely In the World

So Lonely In the World

Inspired by another hero:

 Chick Corea and 

Return To Forever.

RIP Chick.

So Lonely In the World

So Lonely In the World

So Lonely In the World

A Demo for a tear jerker that I recorded for a famous singer that, once again, never broke through. Don't matter - killer composition anyway.

MAD SCIENTIST

So Lonely In the World

MAD SCIENTIST

The most crazed thing I have EVER written - it's GOD Pissed off at us, his children - ready to wipe our asses out for the shit HE sees.

SOLEA

BE SERIOUS

MAD SCIENTIST

Larry Coryell - solo guitar. This was comnposed by him to open the Pascual Lives Suite and he gave it to me. I did not record this. Too much compression.

MYSTERY

BE SERIOUS

BE SERIOUS

Another cool pop rock tune that could EASILY been a hit song that the brilliant record labels rejected. I do believe I played / sang the shit out of this.

BE SERIOUS

BE SERIOUS

BE SERIOUS

A truly freeform Strato-Jazz song played on my 1961 customized Gibson SG Special...


MY TASCAM DP 24 RECORDER

Just For Your Information....Strawberry Fields Forever

  1. Yeah, just for fun, I thought that I would upload a pic of what I record with. The track tape (artist's acid-free) along the bottom of the faders shows what was recorded - either mono, mono-paired or stereo tracks of guitars, basses and some percussion, special effects - you name it! In this case:
  2. Tracks 1 and 2 ("Int Gtr") are a mono-paired, "stereo-ized" (originally mono, but altered to stereo so I could downshift the pitch of the original track by -0.6 to create "stereo") intro guitar that is the Mellotron Flute intro played by McCartney.
  3. Track 3: mono, main bass gtr
  4. Tracks 4: mono, 2nd bass gtr, low E tuned to D flat
  5. Tracks 5 and 6: "Backwards Shit" a stereo pair of effects like the backwards hi hat and an A9 chord fade
  6. Tracks 7 and 8: Stereo chorused Main fingerstyle guitar
  7. Tracks 9 and 10: harmonies to main guitar fingerstyle
  8. Tracks 11 and 12: Yes, "Fixes". Fingerstyle for 4 minutes is very difficult to capture in one take (which I have to do live, so I insist on perfection in a forever medium like recording) and little things go wrong that are necessarily fixable!
  9. Tracks 13-22: Added spice to the main guitar fingerstlye. This is where the term "GuitArchestra" applies.
  10. Tracks 22 and 23: stereo click of 88 Beats Per Minute. NEVER record without a click track - so helpful for editing, adding drummers or percussion in the future, etc.

Comments for The Beatles Re-Imagined

 You're a musical genius! Completely blown away with Norwegian Wood and Lady Madonna was smoking hot.

John J 

These are absolutely brilliant Pauly!

Willy J

Dude you totally channelled Les Paul on your Les Paul in Lady Madonna! OMG.

Jeff L

Excellent Pauly - Love the chords in "Yesterday".
