I liked that John, I began to improvise over it. a great chord foundation.

Richard

That was a really beautiful performance, John – really pretty. – Mark 👍🎶😎

My immediate thought was “He’s playing Blackbird”. It definitively has that same sort of vibe to it. Still very good though. It just goes to show how powerful existing hooks are.

Nice catchy arrangement John , I can also hear the Beatles influence , this is a real ear worm , love the simplicity of a melody that comes out of a finger style piece .
It’s clever and it totally works.

Martin

Hi John, yes, I got “Blackbird” and also Lindsey Buckingham “Never Going Back Again”. Great vibes to capture.

Yup, I knew you’d pull it off with flying colors John!

Very nice, John. Quite an interesting assembly of chords and a beautiful composition.

John nice job on that thumb….keeping the bass notes steady …ya I love the Beatles. Pap

Love the chord progression,
Like Richard I immediately had to play it myself.
Denise

Well done John….it’s never easy to play the acoustic with your fingers and you did it very well…

Great stuff, John. Reminds me of Taj Mahal riding along in the horse drawn carriage playing “Sweeter Than a Honey Bee” as he road through the streets of New Orleans.

That was really nice, it made me smile. 🙂 beautiful chord progression and execution was on point!

Really great technique John. Amazed how you can move chords around and finger pick like that. And really pleasant sounding too, well done bud!

Very nice John.
Nice hook.

I think it reminded me a little of “Fast Car” by Tracey Chapman. Nevertheless, it had the makings of a great memorable intro.
That guitar is a beast, you seem very attached to it.
John

A great hook with some Blackbird vibe, John.
It stuck in my head right away. Works 100%

Great melody, and definitely could hear that as the backbone of a song. I heard a blackbird vibe at first too but just noticed John’s comment and thought oh yes! A hint of fast car which was a cracking hook too.
Really clean finger picking on a mighty guitar!

Yep, that’s a hook alright! Somewhat John Mryn I’d say, very nice. 🙂

John, nice to hear an acoustic fingerstyle approach to a hook. Sweet picking and nicely packaged with a pleasant chord progression.

It’s beautiful how you do this without accompaniment and still stay nicely in time, well played.

You and your Hummingbird seem to be getting along so well, John 🙂

Of course, I love this! A great fingerpicking variations on the themes of “Blackbird” and yes, “Fast Car” too, I hear a little bit of both songs but with your own touch. A lovely harmonic at the end!

Excellent picking ideas.

A really great take on previous works, while it had the feel it was definatly your own work

Thanks for sharing
