@vachemorte,
Here's the deal...Art is about inspiration and perspiration. The ratio is about 99% perspiration. What that means is you don't need a lot of styles or notes to create ART. You just have to be fluent in what you do enough so you don't stumble over your technique or have to engage your intelLect in the process by thinking about what you are going to do next. Once that part is out of the way which you arrive at by just playing what you enjoy and enjoying what you play. The next part is just forgetting everything you know and lay back and just listen to what your hands create. In other words, GET OUT OF THE WAY. JUST LET YOUR MUSE GUIDE YOUR HANDS. I know you know this because I can hear LOVE in your music.
I agree with you about improv. that's my favorite thing to do is just sit with my best friends (either Lola my flamenco guitar or George my handmade classical guitar) and let them talk to me! I try not to interrupt them when they are singing. I JUST LET THEM SAY WHATEVER THEY WANT TO SAY!
Nice connecting with you also.
We got a connexion here buddy. Today I scanned some photo of the instruments I built, so come back in a few, if you like handmade guitars.
Did I come back too soon? I wanted to see your guitars! BTW, I posted two new pieces just for you called Improv 1 and Improv 2. Your inspiration!
Yes a bit too soon. I scanned the photos, I also took photos of the tools I used (In a really dusty box... and there was some really old friends in there I didn't see for a while). I still have to put a post together so come back for that soon but not too soon...sorry to keep you waiting :)
No worries, I'll be back! BTW I use a bit of reverb when I record. I use Band in a Box. for what I do which is just single track guitar I use the Band in a Box auxillary program, Power Tracks.
yes I listen to both, really good.
I just listened to your piece again. Really beautiful! Makes me want to get out my effects rig and play around with it.
I used a boss analog delay in that track, one of my favorite effect pedal.
