This is a short take on it, but I wasn’t able to complete what I wanted to do, but I’ll post it anyway.
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

I listened to it a few times, haunting yes but melancholy and being able to connect with your listener then I’d have to say one of your best.

Yes, I have to agree with all of the above. Listening to this at 7.30 a.m. on a Sunday morning here in the U.K and it’s a nice mellow way to start the day.

Hi Phil, you know we sometimes have some hectic days ahead of us when we wake up. Music seems to help us adjust to it. At least that is how I feel.

Hey Pete, you stay true to your line. I would have recognized you from the crowd of tracks immediately. You swiftly flow through your notes with those of the Far East. Pleasant and relaxed, as always. Well done.
Play guitar just like you live; don't get bogged down in theory, it's just a tool without feeling.

Hello Wilfried, I guess if I’ve improved at all, it would be my style is “Pete’s way of playing”. Thanks for the kind comment my good friend from Germany. Hey, the other day Yoko bought some “real” German sausage and it was very good, juicy and went well with rice. Again, thank you.

Hi John. Thanks. Had to cut it short. The fan was making too much noise. Yoko just bought a new computer so I’m hoping she’ll let me use her old one. I think, as some members suggested, I should continue on this one.

Thanks Lights. You remember this band: https://nektarsmusic.com/
Back in the 70’s this band was way ahead of its game. I used to have their albums. Good stuff.

Beautiful just beautiful Pete. You have a great tone on that guitar.
I was reading recently about taking out background noise from recordings. I haven’t done this so this is strictly second hand info but what you do apparently is highlight the bit of the recording that is just background noise, often at the start or end, and profile it (I don’t know what that means either!!). Then use the profile to delete the background from the recording. It might have been a Reaper instruction video by Kenny G. Anyway well play my friend.

August 4, 2019 at 9:58 pm #140494
Hi Martyn. Thanks for listening and your kind comment. I know the fan on the computer is causing a lot of the noise, had it replaced a year ago, but it is shot again. Hopefully the wife will give me her other computer soon.
I use Reaper as my DAW station. I haven’t gotten to the point where I still am in the comfort zone, but I’m learning as I do these challenges. Again, thank you my friend.The melody of the notes is what expresses the art of music . 🙂 6stringerPete

Thanks Andy. I try to work on the feelings of the notes when playing. There’s a reason for that because I have the weak point about guitar playing in putting something in musical form. But I’m working on it.

Hello Pete, you really have something here. It reminds me of a soundtrack, similar to something by Ry Cooder or Bill Frisell or someone like them.
