        Just noticed another member published this EP.. What a nice coincidence of 2 people liking the same thing the same time 🙂

        I stumbled upon this EP by chance, clicking on a youtube suggestion, and when I heard it I knew I couldn’t rest until I learned how to play this.

        I got some squeaks – the minute I press record, it takes me out of balance 🙂

        This is a beautiful minor piece, and I added a short major verse somewhere in between. You will notice it by ear, but I also brightened the colors for that verse. There I also switched to the recording using the guitar’s pickup, but I think the simple recording with my phone mic is better, so I kept most of it (despite the noise in the background, sorry about that, I counted on the plugged connection, which turned out to be not so good). Anyways, here is EP314, I hope you enjoy it.

          very nice rendition.

                        Nicely played, it’s a very nice melody

                        Play guitar just like you live; don't get bogged down in theory, it's just a tool without feeling.

                                Great playing, Isreal. Flawless. At 0:41 reminded me of Strawberry Fields (Beatles). Cool!

                                    Thanks, Lights! The model is AG75CE, solid cedar top. It’s the Artist series, only the top is solid, but it gives a good value for the money.
