Richard Oddie - It Is Well With My Soul

In these troubled times of the Coronavirus, I offer this latest recording from my friend Richard Oddie - The famous hymn: "It Is Well With My Soul." You will love this arrangement of guitar and violin. Richard is a multi-instrumentalist, worship leader, artist, wonderful photographer, and graphic designer. He is a long-time friend from New Zealand who now lives in Australia. Everything he does is marked by excellence, and this recording is no different. Thank you, Richard and violinist Payam Nekouei for this fabulous music. Such comfort.

Also - Thank you Allan Mackenzie for the absolutely beautiful video - always perfect! CLICK ON THIS LINK:

Guitar Tapping

I just LOVE some of the guitar tappers that are coming up with great innovations in guitar playing. Here is Erik Mongrain playing a song entitled "Air Tap"

...and here he is playing his piece - "Verso"

Then there is this insanely innovative young woman Kaki King - here she is playing "Bone Chaos In The Castle"

Kaki King is the guitarist who is playing the guitar bits in the movie "August Rush." This is the famous piece from that movie: "Bari Improv"

Come on guitarists - young people...let's get creative - what an amazing instrument. Just think...there is so much beautiful music yet to be played. Wait in the presence elf the Lord and let Him teach you.

Richard is a great prophetic artist. This is just one of many instruments he plays. I'm so proud of my friend!

Richard Oddie

My friend Richard Oddie (a New Zealander - living in Australia - the New Zealand part is very important to know) has a new must-see video on YouTube:

This is the piece "The Pilgrimage" composed by Andrew Smith - just beautiful. You can also find other clips of Richard's guitar work on YouTube HERE HERE and HERE. Richard is a worship leader, musician, composer and all round lovely guy (don't let him know, however) who lives in the Brisbane area of Australia.

Please check out these two YouTube clips from my good friend Richard in Australia:

Let me know what you think. Richard has a couple of instrumental albums and they remain on my "favorites" list.

Oh...and just to make it clear - Richard is a New Zealander...
