hey I have been wondering this and probably the only people who could answer it would probably tim, or someone that knows him closely....
As far as song writing goes...
on some of his cds like Nomadic Wavelength, Stream, See Into Your Soul....when recorded did he have all the songs written and structured or did he improvise a lot or some of the stuff on there, if he did does anyone know exactly what he improvised, like parts of songs?
Im just curious, his type of jazz/classical is very complicated to structure, I have been creating the same type of vibe for my songs and I have about 23 or 24 songs that are incomplete. I was wondering if he was in teh same situation, and said "fuck it" and improved over a bunch of stuff, lol.
Someone please let me know....

To answer the second question first.....yes he did. He also changed Valley of Flowers to Flourescense. I think he also changed two others but I can't remember.
For the second question...if you look at the tabs, you will see that some have like 5 parts and others only have 2, but both songs are the same length. My guess is that he just loves to improvise and is very good at it....so he puts it in whenever he wants. Also, he has been playing for 31 years, so he knows a hell of a lot more aboot the guitar than most anyone else.
