An Arctic Story Revisited

A little tune written for my better half...:)

Charlie's Song

Lullaby

Old gospel songs are often mournful and reflective and the somber D minor tuning (DADFAD) lends a certain gravitas to the arrangement.

Guitar Clole Clark FL 3 

Wayfaring Stranger

A pensive yet evocative melody describing a change of seasons in an elegant rubato that I hope you will enjoy...

Nostalgia

Back to basics (An Influences Medley)

Described as a unique talent, a guitar virtuoso, great composer and on top of that an incredible live performer. Eric had a great way of communicating his music. Many people that have one, or maybe two, of those attributes, but Eric had all three in abundance. The tragedy is that he was just coming into his own when he sadly passed away in 2005 with cancer.

Recorded on a Taylor GS Mini Mahogany

"Angel" by Eric Roche

Herewith is 2019's 4th two minute melody... 
"Dotage"
Noun: The period of life in which a person is old and weak.
Synonyms: , winter/autumn of one's life;

This tune was inspired by a couple events...

Namely my mom's stroke and the revelation that I'm now indeed middle aged. 

The Guitar used was a Lowden f25 C with a K&K Trinity blended with a Seymour Duncan Mag Mic.

Life

An Arctic Story in DADEBA

Hi All

A quick one...:) 

I have had a passion for guitar since the first time I saw my mom pick up her 1950's Framus when I was about three...Most of my life I have only tinkered around and considered myself a bedroom guitarist. I have done all the genre's  - Rock, Blues, Shred...but that all seemed senseless until l found my acoustic voice.  

As I got older, life's events and losses have left me feeling that something was missing. In a day job spent in the cut throat world of mineral exploration filled with excessive travel, excitement and adventure I figured out that I was neglecting my only emotionally fulfilling constant - Music! The process of creating, sharing and listening made me know that all my joys and sorrows are part of something beyond my comprehension and so infinitely valuable. 

Although being very new to this forum...I have fallen in love with it! I have discovered for lack of better terms a family of like-minded dreamers and romantics now bound together by invisible threads. What an awesome place be...

Light to all....:)
