        I really like the Caribbean vibe of EP 632.

        I experimented with it a bit and made the sound electric instead of using an acoustic guitar; for the rhythm, I used a pick, and I added a melodic bass line and some small arpeggios on the electric piano.

        It’s meant for sitting back and listening.

          Great choice, Dieter! Love the multiple layers, done very tastefully, letting the melody shine. You’re right, I could sit back and listen to this all day 😎🌴🍹

            Great mutli-talent performance, Dieter! Loved the melodic vibe and how you pulled all the instruments together. Excellent playing on all! Top notch production!!

              Nice arrangement and layering Dieter. This is really a beautiful lesson with a lot to absorb. Fun to hear your take on it.

                  This has a lovely sunny walk on the beach feel to it Dieter. I loved the way you put your own multi instrumental take on this lesson. Very nicely done, I listened more than once.

                  Interesting how this sounds so cheerful in spite of the minor key 😄

                      You’re a one man band Dieter! Great lesson choice and agreed, a very pleasant ‘sit back, listen and enjoy’ piece of music. Well played and well synced together. All the best! 😎🎸😎

                        Absolutely beautiful, Dieter – I found that really relaxing!! I’ve only recently started wearing Hearing-Aids, and it allowed your mix (particularly the stereo spread you used) to come through. Thoroughly enjoyable. – Mark 👍🎶😎
