  Here we go – a short one on my acoustic where I tried to pause every now and then.
  Thanks for watching and your feedback

  A very enjoyable and restful piece Ruediger. I heard the start of a gentle melody and one that is worth developing to a finish.

  That’s a really sweet tune, Ruedigger, and your understated backing provided the perfect accompaniment. Also a lovely tone on your guitar.

  Nicely done Ruediger. My only complaint is it was too short! 🤪

  Nice how the melody synchronizes with the accompaniment. And I like how it builds energy a bit at the end. Nice work!

  Hi Ruediger, those stops/pauses between phrases worked to wonderful effect. It really made the piece sound solid and pulled out the melody for the ear. Very enjoyable!

  Good choice Ruediger. You didn’t say where you got the backing track – did you make it? Well played, but I wish the volume were a bit louder on my speakers.
