[Pap]

This is one of several ideas I had and reminds me of the great Jimmy Page.

[Michael L]

Nice Pap. It really sets the stage. I was expecting your to bust out singing!

[sunjamr]

Nice intro/hook Pap. Like Michael said, I was expecting you to start singing.

[Mark T]

I really liked that, Pap – a great hook that has the freedom to go in many directions; nicely done. – Mark 👍🎶😎

[JoeD1]

That was really good Pap. Reminded me of ELP.

[Alan L]

Cool riff, nice harmonies! I can definitely hear Robert Plants “baby baby” over that! 😂

[John H]

Nicely performed PAP
Catchy, clear, fluid and memorable
You are sounding great these days-keep up the progress and have fun!

[Bill]

About :30 I expected some Plant-esque wailing. I feel let down 😅
Nice finger picking and great sound, nice one Pap!

[charjo]

Nice, Pap, some of the greatest riffs came out of those two chord ideas. Beautiful looking and sounding acoustic.

[Manfred M]

A motif that sets the stage for so many ideas that can grow from it. You can really hear, how different instruments would come in. Great work, Pap.

Take the chance to meet your AM friends on Zoom
The next Meetup will be July
There will be a detailed announcement here in the forum
I look forward to meet you.

[Gary W]

Real nice Pap, I could imagine this as an intro to a balad, which is then repeated in breaks etc. Nicely done.

[AndréM]

Very nice Pap, could be an opening for a big rock a la Jimmy Page.

[Andy N]

Clean picking there Pap
That’s a hook with legs. Very catchy and I could feel it about to take off and run in many directions.

[Tremelow]

Nice one, Pap. Just when I thought the song would start you stopped playing. I hope we get to see part 2 soon. By the way, the sound quality is really good!

[Raffaele S]

I always look with healthy “envy” at those who can play the acoustic guitar well with their fingers…..It’s not easy at all, and you did it very well….Excellent

[Michael Krailo]

I really wanted to hear more of this as it started off really good. I played a nice accompaniment over this that would have sounded really good if it resolved on an Em chord. Give that a try and see what you think. It definitely created tension.

Go slow and practice correct technique, and your abilities will dramatically improve.

[Pap]

Great idea Michael…I’ll mess around with it. Pap

[Juxi]

Well done, Pap. Great intro-hook and good to see someone playing outside. 😎

[Guido]

Very nicely finger picked Pap! It sounds like a brilliant acoustic intro for a great rock song,

Guido

[Carpa]

Thanks for the beautiful song,
I love your fingerpicking style 👍

[JoLa]

Excellent fingerpicking, Pap! Great motif/hook and a very suitable scenery around you, it feels very serene 🙂

[Jonathan Amos]

I would say that’s inspired by If on Atom Heart Mother by Pink Floyd, not Jimmy Page or ELP. You haven’t got a Friesian cow with you there in your back yard by any chance? A simple hook but that’s all you need.

[Dieter]

Ver nice finger picking.

Dieter

[Laurel C]

Very relaxing hook which is enhanced by the setting you are in. Very ground roots sounding …. very nice Pap.

[Richard G]

You achieved an intriguing intro/hook there Pap. Your fingerstyle over those chords was always going to be a winner.

Richard

[snakechisler]

wow had the bones of a great tune was really impressed

Works as an intro but offers more
