        While playing through EP142, I wandered in another direction and ended up with an uptempo rhythm gittar track with the same harmony. Feel free to use it if you like.

          Don, what guitar are you playing that on. Sounds so raw with an oriental twist to it!

          The melody of the notes is what expresses the art of music . 🙂 6stringerPete

          It really is all about ”melody”. The melody comes from a language from our heart. Our heart is the muscle in music harmony. The melody is the sweetness that it pumps into our musical thoughts on the fretboard. 🙂 6 stringer Pete

            Great interpretation, gritty and raw 🙂

              Thanks, Doug! Still going to put a faithful as possible rendition together for the challenge.

              Pete, that’s my trusty 2014 Guild Savoy hollow-body strung with Thomastek-Infeld flatwounds. I’ve been experimenting with strings, it’s currently strung with D’Addarios, they’re about $17 cheaper, and they sound like it. Back to the Thomastek-Infelds next time.

                Don, wow …. very very cool groove. Great, the tempo is maintained.
                And so very long played with a clean finish.
                You’ve made the piece to Your piece.

                Thumbs up!

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

                  Don,

                  I like that. Thanks for posting. I’ll have to use that as a backing track. Will let you know if I get something worth recording.
