ST CUTHBERT’S RAG   Payne *
This was inspired by Chet Atkins. Played in dropped D tuning. I used my Martin HD 28.

DAFFODIL   Payne
My dad’s favourite flower. He passed away around this time and the tune reflects my mood.
Martin HD 28 on this one.

DOC LEAF   Payne *
This was inspired by the great Doc Watson. I’d been playing Deep River Blues. I used D tuning with the top A tuned down to B. So it’s really D6, of sorts. I used my Gibson J45.

ST CUTHBERT'S MOAN   Payne *
This tune has had many versions, especially just lately with the ‘Journey Suite’ which you can hear as St Cuthbert’s lament with string quartet.
This is the bare bones played on the Martin HD 28 in Csus4add9 tuning. Capo at 2nd fret.

DOODLE RAG   Payne
Doodle it is! Another open D ramble capo on 4th fret, I think!
Gibson J45 again.

SAVANNAH BLUES   Payne
I’d become a big fan of this strange modal tuning - E A A E A E.
It creates a distinctive African flavour, hence this rambling improvisation. I used an old Giannini jumbo style guitar. It stays locked in this tuning!

SARABANDE   Payne *
This was originally recorded for the ‘Elizabeth Suite’. I’m a big fan of John Renbourne’s ‘The Earl Of Salisbury’, so I recently added the Glockenspeil to re create that sound. The Martin HD 28 here again.

BLUE LOTUS RAG   Payne *
I recorded this tune some years ago as part of a collection of instrumentals called ‘The Fingerstyle Blues Collection.’ Played on my trusty old Takamine.

SHED ONE  Payne
Now, this came about while messing about in my shed. I think I recorded it on my phone using Garage Band. I liked it very much and decided to keep the demo as it is. The guitar is my little white ‘Bellini,’ made in South Africa in the 50’s.

SECRET  Payne *
Originally composed for the St Cuthbert Suite. Once again developed for the
'Journey Suite' with string quartet. Played on HD28

TUNE FOR ANJI   Payne *
Yes, you guessed it! My version of the classic Davey Graham tune, with a few twists and turns. Played on Gibson J45.

WEDDING TUNE   Payne
This started out as a song performed at my cousin’s wedding. Then morphing into an instrumental, then developed into a string quartet for my album,‘Journey Suite’. The final result became the track, ‘Love.’

WESTERN PLAIN   Payne
Composed especially for a film library - As the title suggests, a western theme?
Played on Gibson J45.
