Description
A simple song that was played on my Yamaha acoustic.
This was done in one take so it's not perfect :-) I sometimes play the acoustic guitar and keep the record button on.....I was inspired so I made the chord sequence up as I went along. I then did the same for the melody and this is what I came up with, it was all in my mind :-)

Bob,

Well played and from this end very clean recording. I hope you will be expanding on this melody and bring us more.

Yes it was a bit short but I captured the melody on the spur of the moment with the record button on, I should have kept playing for longer!
Thanks for the listen and comments.

Excellent quality on the recording Bob
and also on the playing. Like Maurice, I only wish it were longer. Sometimes your Muse will give you a gift like this as a teaser. then she'll walk away and wait to see if you got the message from the strings.

Nice one my friend, really nice.

Thanks for your kind comments Ed.

Simple is good. Very special melody here. I like it short and sweet like this, the musical idea uncluttered by "arranging"

Take Care

A golden moment...
...caught in time. Bob this is a thing of beauty!

Although it's fine as a brief interludus, I do hope you'll develop and lengthen this. Have some talented bugger add strings as well.

I'm blown away by the elegant simplicty of this piece! BRAVISSIMO!

Be well friend!
Bob Rodgers said 1398 days ago (July 25th, 2009)
Thanks Micheal
It was a moment in time to capture this and I hope to expand on this.
The idea of the strings sound good to me and I will certainly work on this when I get the time!
Thanks for the listen and comments, always appreciate them.

Wonderful flow
I like how the piece just gradually progressed to it's conclusion - but you easily could have kept me engaged for much longer. Very sweet sound to that guitar.

Always appreciate you stopping by to have a listen to my tunes, it was a natural chord progression to make for this but the melody just flowed out when I played along to it, thanks for the listen.

Vision.
If this was in any way impromptu as you indicate it was, you have a very strong vision for laying-down a mood with skill and precision. Wonderful stuff, Bob. And well recorded, to boot.

Peaceful
A beautiful interlude. Leaving the record button on is something we should all do (if we had the memory!) It's the only way to really capture the moment.

Lovely work Bob. Thanks for brightening my day.

Lovely work Bob
You have a very lyrical way with your instrument. You make it sing, and that's the highest compliment I can give to a musician. I've not read the other comments but I'm sure many said the same as I will here and that is, I wish it were longer! I hope you revisit this and extend it some day....I'll be here when you do!
