Downloadable Recordings:
This collection of recordings includes live performances of all types, studio work, albums, home recordings, instructional materials, and demos that I've done throughout the years. There is currently over eight hours of music here to download. All of the recordings are super compressed - made to be as small in file size as possible. I chose quick download time over high sound quality because bandwidth limitations and large file sizes would have made this large collection impossible to present.
Note: You should be able to double click on each file - they should all play automatically if your system is set up properly. If you have problems playing any recording, right click on the file, select "save target as", choose a location on your hard drive to store it, and then play it using your favorite music application.
LiveRecordings.mp3
2.4M - Classical pieces from my masters degree recital. The recording quality is pretty darn bad (it was done on a handheld recorder), but the pieces and the performance are some of the best on this page.
Buzz--Nick-Antonaccio.mp3
182k - The fastest thing you've ever heard. Something that I use to impress tough crowds - I love watching jaws drop to the floor when I play this one! Delay doubled (it's not really as hard to play as it sounds).
Jills_tunes_compressed.mp3
1.1M - Recorded for a friend at home, this is just some cool improvised stuff that I happened to catch on tape.
Chaconne.mp3
1.39M - A transcription of the famous (and insanely difficult) chaconne from the 2nd Violin Partita by J.S. Bach. No recording tricks were used on this track - the entire 12 minute guitar solo was recorded live, exactly as it sounds on the tape!

14.4M - A live recording from my days playing bars with the Housemarys. This file is huge, and contains over 2 1/2 hours of live rock!

1.6M - Some beautiful live stuff that I did with flute-ist, err, flautist ... um, flute player extraordinaire Andrea Raiz (in concert 1998).

LOL - I don't remember playing any of this stuff ... :)
