Excellent chord progression, Ruediger, and great soloing part over it, very melodic, with nice variations and very well played. An enjoyable composition with a lovely relaxed vibe.

Thanks for this post, Rüdiger. It’s a wonderful, light melody that goes perfectly with the guitar. It just puts you in a good mood. Thanks for sharing.

Nice bluesy ragtime feel to this one. Really good submission.

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

Ruediger
Beautiful performance. You move nicely about the fingerboard and generated some tasty and melodic licks along the way. Well done!

John

[Alan L]

That was great! You packed a lot into 1:26. Tricky chord progression, but your lead just floated along in a catchy and harmonious way. Bravo. 👏

Ruediger, I liked the variety in the rhythm of your lead and the really good use of tartget notes.

[Pap]

Ruediger, that reminded me of Alice’s Restaurant….not exact but had that groove….I feel like you could have told a story like Arlo did:) Nice job here! Pap

[James B]

Great tune and nice picking, Ruediger.

[Michael L]

Great acoustic tones with the guitars together Ruediger. A very enjoyable piece of music. It has a Beatles vibe to my ear.

[Raffaele S]

You placed the melody notes very well on the rhythmic base…very pleasant to listen to….Bravissimo

[JoeD1]

That was really good Ruediger. Like Pap said, it sounded a little like Alice’s Restaurant but with a bit of Nobody Knows You When You’re Down and Out. Very nice!

I really like that relaxed groove rhythm and your beautiful lead you played over it.
That’s a very nice chord progression.
Sounding good!

More Blues!

[Mark T]

I found that a really relaxing submission, Ruediger – a lovely, gentle melody you created that accompanied the backing perfectly. – Mark 👍🎶😎

[Laurel C]

An enjoyable listen. The melody just rolls along, parts of it do sound familiar. That was beautifully done. Great work.

[Manfred M]

That sounds really good, Rüdiger. The rhythm and lead parts complement each other perfectly. And you’ve come up with a very catchy melody.

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

There you went…. a man of few words. And you are never too old for rock and roll,

This, however, had more of a folksy vibe and involved some pretty clean picking well up on the neck. Nice work!

[Wayne Nunez]

Nice work Ruediger your acoustic rhythm and solo stuff sounds good and goes well together!

[JoLa]

Beautiful composition with a ragtime feel, very well put together and executed. Love the acoustic guitar duets, this was a great example how well they can sound together. Is that your own arrangement?

Hi Jola
Yep this was something I was putting together for for this Month’s challenge by myself Very simple chord progression and some melody improvisation over that.

Thank you
