I didn’t think I was going to make this challenge; been out visiting family in Michigan and the wild Pacific Northwest-Seattle, Tacoma and Olympia. Made it home after 24 hours of flight delays, storms, lay-overs, and too much air port stuff. Nevertheless, I did manage to sit down and present a concept that I’ve been exploring-and that is trying to pull a melody out of a simple 1,4,5 Finger-picking chord progression. Additionally, I am trying to avoid the ‘shinier objects’ as Brian calls them and apply some of thing things learned. Nuthin’ Fancy here. Hope you like. And, I reacquainted myself with the glorious tone of Martin Mahogany. Playing my Martin OOO-15 M. I will have to catch up and watch all the submission this week. Can’t wait to see what folks are working on.

I’m glad you made it John – you’re still in time in the UK.
That’s a nice composition with neat fingerpicking and a lovely tone. Chord changes were smooth and it all added up to a pleasant song. -

Soothing and steady rhythm, but the harmonized runs really grabbed my attention! Nice work!

Nice one, John! I love sitting around and noodling on my acoustics like that. My favorite acoustic for such noodling is my Taylor Baby. Why, you ask? Because it’s not much bigger than my baritone uke, so I can sit back and relax in an armchair, and play whatever comes into my mind.
