Gorgeous Thanks so much. For years I have played--literally--in the closet. That's where this was recorded. I really appreciate you taking the time to listen and comment. You even managed to make me feel good about those 'missed notes.' Thanks again. Check out my latest song called Keep Looking for Jesus (MJRF)

Skillful playing! Thanks.The guitar is an old Alvarez nylon string (1970) that my father had in his music store. I sort of permanently 'borrowed' it from him in high school. I have two mics--a Fender and a Sennheiser. Not sure which I used on this piece. Neither mic is very good, the Fender can be kind of bassy.

Very tasty I like the third movement the best. But the entire Suite is real sweet. Have you ever listened to Andrew York? He is a member of the Los Angeles Guitar Quartet and a composer. Classically oriented but his compositions go beyond "classical." You might enjoy him. Oh, and you're into January so you might have to revise the title. :-) Check out my latest song called I Just Wanna Go Home

Beautiful Beautiful piece, my only complaint if any is that I didn't feel that you got the best sound out of your guitar. The recording seemed a little too bass friendly and didn't do it's best to bring out the beautiful timbre of you guitar. Check out my latest song called Vickys Song

Nice Love those dropped d tunnings:) Liked that harmonic at the end. Loved those sliding double notes. Lots of expression. I am giving you a higher score that what you have up there! gulp! :) As of now I am five back. O well such is life. Good luck to you!

Fine, Fine, Fine Good stuff Maynard.....so many interesting little things going on....I like the fading chord in the midlle that you subtly bend just before it fades out...nice touch.......missed the trills in the intro but I still heard them in my mind...my only nit.......love the subtle suggestions of India in there-again just enough.....also love some of the bass notes you chose to combine with melody notes,,,that gave those passages a big feel...nice....OK Im totally jealous! |

beautiful playing This piece has a beautiful flow. I'm curious, did you record this in one take? Someone had a nice comment on missed notes, and man, that's the beauty of guitar - it's so expressive in the right hands, like singing or speaking - too sterile if too perfect. Keep it up. You deserve a higher production value. You should see what you can do even with this recording. Check out my latest song called All Who Are Thirsty

beautiful playing Thanks Schroter. It was recorded in one take, although not the 1st take, I'm pretty sure. I remember spending alot of time in the closet... Check out my latest song called Keep Looking for Jesus (MJRF)

Awsome!!! Sometimes, for me at least, it's good to step away from analizing how a song or peice is made, and just enjoy the music!! This is that time. I could listen to your playing all day without being distracted by the 'technical ins and outs'. You create art. I like art. Check out my latest song called Broken Wing

imaginative fingerwork You provide a lot of harmonic and melodic interest with your excellent placement of notes on this tune. The chord progressions are nice. There are some good melodic bits, but they need to be developed a bit more to pull the piece together, make it more "identifiable" and distinctive. I would have enjoyed hearing a more extended version of this piece. The recording sounded slightly muffled and far away; your excellent guitar playing is not shown to its best advantage, but overall, this is a very pleasant track. The chord progressions and general treatment don't really reflect the classical genre; this might fit better in the New Age/Acoustic category. Check out my latest song called EPONYM

imaginative fingerwork Thanks. Figuring out exactly where my music fits has been a long problem for me. Maybe that's why I am in the closet? Check out my latest song called Keep Looking for Jesus (MJRF)

How do you mik? I really wonder how you mick up your guitar. You're getting such a nice tone out of the recordings. Is there a Sunrise pickup involved somewhere? Check out my latest song called Guitar test — Martin CSN (Gerry Tolman Tribute)

Another Good One Beautiful guitar piece. Have you been playing these for years or did you just recently write them? They sound like you have been playing them for years. Again so clean and precise and melodic. My playing is like a bull in a china shop in comparison. Loved that part towards the end where it sounded like you were sliding triads back and forth. Whatever it was it sounded fine. Check out my latest song called Strange Feeling

alliteration Beautiful, mellow, moody music makes me marvel. At your talent. I learned today that your dad had a music store, which explains where that amazing talent comes from, and that you must have a very large closet, since you played guitar in there. To go back to the composition, it's pretty much perfect. The fact that you don't modulate does not disturb me at all. The only thing that disturbs me is the thought that maybe you're not making music any more, since you've stopped posting here. Come back, Tom! We hardly knew ye! Okay, maybe we knew ye all too well, but we miss your music! Check out my latest song called Scarlet Nightfall

Fantastic. Great playing, great pacing, great recording,
great heart. You have captured a perfect moment with
soul and breadth, skill and insight. Even the missed notes
are woven perfectly into the articulations of the moment,
adding to the flow of meaning and sweep of emotion
coming out of this track. Simple, elegant craftsmanship;
great writing. I love this music so much. Peace to you as
well.
