          Very nice playing. Are those pictures you have taken, if so, where?

          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

              Those are some really nice pictures. Last summer I took some pictures of southern Japan, I finally got them organized to where I’ll post them soon.

              You live in Newfoundland?

                  Hi Sal,

                  Those are some nice improvs. I would turn the backing track down on future recordings so we can hear your playing better. Keep them coming!

                    Yeh, I think the improv was quite good, but the other band members were playing too loud. You need to talk to them about that…

                      Hey Sal, great work on your improvs, really enjoyed it, I recognize all your Rockies pics, I work in Banff and live in Canmore, 20 minutes outside the park. When were you here?

                        Yo guys,thanks for listening and advising! I guess I liked Brian’s playing more than my picking,so I kept myself in the background.I really like his keyboard backing tracks!! Scott M, We were there about 6 or 7 years ago,and really enjoyed the trip.It was a 25 day jaunt that started in Seattle,up through the Canadian Rockies,stayed at the Fairmount Hotel on Lake Louise,then east to Glacier National Park,then south to the Columbia River gap,then west back to Seattle!That scenery must look common to you,but it is breathtaking to us flatlanders!! lol……………Sal
