Really excited about this!!

jhempel24 · 11-24-2010, 08:15 AM

As some of you may, or may not know, I play classical/fingerstyle guitar, and have an album in the process of being put up on iTunes....but there has always been that one song that I've always wanted to play....well.

THIS is the song that made me want to play Classical/Fingerstyle Guitar. I think I FINALLY nailed it. Really excited about this one....spent the last few weeks with some focused practice on barre chords and and different techniques in order to play this. As well as really trying to get the emotion across.

The background video I hope adds something to it, I wasn't in front of a green screen or anything, so my keying isn't the best. Either way, I hope you listen to it and enjoy!!

As a finger-picker myself, J, for forty-odd years (though I haven't touched an instrument since my younger brother -- my musical partner -- died six years ago), I appreciate the skill and talent in your artistry. This work is nothing short of sheer beauty. We don't celebrate an 'official' Thanksgiving here in Europe, but informally, I give you many thanks for this wee gift. Best wishes. Neil

Thank you for this. I liked it very much. The music reminded me of things gone by and unreachable.
Also liked the cool artwork.

Beautiful! As we say here in the Sandwich Island; You give me chicken skin!

nohmi2 · 11-25-2010, 04:16 AM

Beautiful!!!

Cheers.

I agree, beautiful. I love the background video.

***I know this is a book site***

I ceased to be amazed decades ago, J, by just how many writers and avid readers are also musicians, and how many of those who are not are particularly attuned to good music. Your post isn't at all out of place. Many here (like those new fans who have already posted their appreciation) will enjoy what you've offered. Best wishes and karma to ya. Neil

Isn't the Lounge section pretty wide-open on topics anyway?

GraceKrispy · 11-25-2010, 10:22 PM

Very nice! I agree that the vid was the perfect accompaniment to your artistry.

beppe · 11-25-2010, 10:43 PM

Nice, very nice, music and video, very pleasant. Thank you.

Thanks again everyone!! I figured the lounge was the place to put it, but since it was kind of a "self promotion" still wasn't sure if it was cool to put, but I'm glad everyone is enjoying it!!

Thanks again for all the kind words!!
