        Hi and sorry I’m late😁 everything that could go wrong did and I lost what I’d recorded ☹️ So this is a quickly recorded section of what I had planned. Not good enough and hoping to learn more from watching others submissions…at least as long as my broadband connection doesn’t fall over again 😁

          Hey Tim
          It is a beautiful piece because it is simple but not obvious and performed with a sure intention.
          Good work!

            Tres enjoyable… your presentation was imaginative and melodic. Very dulcet on that gorgeous sounding Taylor.

              Superb Tim ! You weaved a sweet melody out of that finger style piece , which frames the chord changes nicely .

                You’ve got a great touch with fingerstyle Tim. Very nice to hear and you pull melodic tones from your chords. Your Taylor model is a good match for finger picking.

                Cheers, Tom

                  Tim,
                  A very pleasant melody to start this early, foggy morning!

                    I’m sure it was disappointing to lose your first recording. But the second take came out very nicely.

                      Smooth and mellow.

                        Hi Tim
                        A nice submission with good melody and flow to it! Good tone and sound on your Taylor acoustic 👍

                          Hey, that was great, Tim! The recording fiasco did not stop you from playing for this challenge anyway and that’s a true musician’s spirit! Your last second recording is perfectly fine, I enjoyed listening to your lovely arpeggios reminiscent of songs like “Dust In The Wind” or “Don’t Answer Me” 🙂

                            Nice recovery and sounds awesome Tim. That is the pits when you lose stuff on the computer. Well done here and looking forward to more stuff. Some of our best stuff comes when we have LESS TIME to try to make it “perfect”. B

                              It seems nothing can stop you, Tim. Nobody would be surprised, if you had skipped this challenge. But not you. You came up with a beautiful melody, also played beautiful with your fine two finger fingerstyle technique. I would call it „Brave Tim‘s Serenade“.

                                That’s both very solid time-wise and flowing melodically, great work!

                                        That was a nicely done arpeggio but with melodies interwoven in them. Great rendition. Sorry about the recording trouble, but I am glad that you took the time to re-record and make the submission.

                                          Hi Tim, glad you got your post in this month! Nice acoustic fingerpicking. You create a mellow mood with lots of folk feel to it. I enjoyed it!

                                            That was beautiful…This is a style that really appeals to me. Your finger-picking and moving thumb are spot on, and you have produced a lovely piece there… you have inspired me to study your video and learn from the master! 😎🎸
