This is golden. Perfect playing precision, beatiful chord changes and melody. What more could anyone want from a song?

Its amazing how some of those small guitars can give such a rich tone, and volume! It tastes a little like a mandolin or even a harp at times. You play with your toys well, David...

There's so much sunshine in that Requinto! Lovely!

You play so exquisitely, David. Painting a beautiful picture here...

Fine string artist Don Jennings brought to my attention that not everyone knows what a "Requinto" guitar is.  It is a smaller nylon-string guitar tuned a 4th above standard tuning; think shifting each pitch one string toward the low E--A becomes E, D becomes A, etc. It is the tenor voice of the Mexican guitar family.  I became enamored with its tone a few years ago when guitar shopping during the pandemic.  I picked this one up as the others were being "disinfected" and was immediately smitten.  Music just poured out of it, even the beginnings of a song.  I had to buy it then and there so I could see how the song would turn out:)  It is the first on the playlist, "Return to Innocence".  It has the lead voice with a Gibson Jumbo giving some bottom end on some of the songs.

Songs Featuring the Requinto Guitar

First released on St Patrick's Day, I explore some Celtic-flavored melodies that came to me while playing a Requinto guitar.  It's higher tonality sounds a little more harp-like and they just seemed to pour out of it.  I add a little foundation with the Gibson SJ-100.

A Celtic Idyll

A peppy little tune written for my fourth granddaughter 11 years ago (she just turned 16) but newly arranged and recorded.  A distinctive feature heard throughout this song is the falling 3rd interval that sounds like I'm calling out her name which I do from time to time whenever I get to visit.  Hopefully it will put a little spring in your step:)

Calling Abby

My impressions of when long ago I visited a frozen lake in which I found skaters, a pine forest, the snowy path, a flock of birds and a lot of peace.

The frozen lake. (Landscape - Skaters 1 - The path - Skaters 2 - The Pine Forest - Farewell.)

Spring, though a season, is also a metaphor of new beginnings.  This tune is a celebration of all things Spring:)

Spring Will Come

The presents are opened and the children are playing with boundless energy.  This is the image I wanted to capture with the solo Requinto guitar.  I thought about putting an adult in the room (bigger guitar) but decided no, let the children play:) There is also a wee little story line; there is playing and playing, trying out a different toy, playing some more, then the fatigue sets in and they start to wind down for a nap only to dream of playing some more...

Written by Richard Gonfrier & Dirk Taubenheim 

When you think you' re all alone      you may be sure      someone cares.
Love cannot be seen      but we all know      when it' s there

Sometimes we have to wait for years      and that may cause us many tears
but no one leaves this world unloved.
It may be more than you can bear      that makes you cry and often swear
but someone will fix your broken heart.

Who' s been telling you those lies      that life sucks      and is a bad compromise?
Don' t believe in things like that,      all they will do      is make you sad.

Oh, ohoho, ohoho, oho
Oh, ohoho, ohoho, oho

INTRO

All actions have a consequence      so there is no coincidence
that means our lives really make sense.
Take care of others, spread God' s love,      try to be part of heaven' s staff,
praise the Lord and that' s enough!

Don' t you be afraid no more      to lose or fail - God loves you as you are.
He created space and time      and you are one      of a billion stars

Thank you, dear Oddrun for this unexpected joy.  You have added a lovely color to my "Sketch in Black and Gray". 
The image is a meeting in Blue. Harpa Reykjavik, Island.

We will float through the clouds
I look beyond me
And i see you there
The thought is real
So Complete
There is silence
A breath from the Wind
From a distance
I can see

With all that's going on, sometimes the heart just wants to flee to a place of innocence. Maybe we could meet there...

Return To Innocence

I am a finger-style guitarist living on the Texas high plains.  At the core of my music is melody that is inspired and informed by my Christian faith, family, friends, and countless influences through the years from the great composers, to jazz, folk, rock, Latin, Celtic, and the many fine musicians I have come to love on the Cloud, some I have been privileged to collaborate with.
