GOODBYE 2023 WELCOME 2024 JUNZO---Here Comes The Sun - The Beatles cover

This recording is an overdubbing of my guitar playing on the work "Lover's Prayer" by Lisha Nandi.
https://soundcloud.com/lisha-nandi-124733328/lovers-prayer
--------------------------------------------------------
When I first listened to Lisha's this work, I was completely fascinated by it. I think the vocals, lyrics, composition, and performance are all excellent, and the balance between them is wonderful.When I suddenly returned to myself, I was holding my Les Paul, and have started recording with it.

The original work released by Lisha can be thought of as a completed "acoustic version".If I think the purpose of adding and releasing my guitar playing to it is to promote and disseminate the existence of that wonderful "acoustic version".

＊If you are practicing playing the guitar, please use it to master the performance of "C # m Pentatonic Scale".I think there are several ways to practice playing the guitar with this song, this time I mainly played and recorded it using the "C # m pentatonic scale".

If the foundation is neglected, there will be no future development. Those who neglect their proficiency in the pentatonic scale and act as if they have mastered not only the pentatonic scale but also the blues scale will most hope that listeners will misunderstand that their guitar playing is good. .. It's a very dangerous adventure.

I eagerly want anyone to get out of that dangerous situation as soon as possible.Any guitar player who hasn't mastered it can't get out of the "beginner". I think.

If you know that it is used in the following representative songs, everyone who has not used it before will surely say "Oh, is that a pentatonic scale?"

The Beatles --Let It Be
This song has different solo performances on the single version and the album version, but it is a guitar solo called "A minor(C major) pentatonic scale textbook" from the time it was released.

Led Zeppelin --Stairway to Heaven
Even in this song, a guitar solo will appear at the end of the song. This is a solo performance using the "A minor Pentatonic Scale", which is a little more difficult than the above.

Eagles --Hotel California
A very famous guitar solo will be developed at the end of this song as well. Since it is a twin lead, it is a more difficult solo performance. The "B minor pentatonic scale" is used.

The guitar playing that I layered on the original sound source is very simple. Some may say it's too simple.However, it doesn't make any sense to crush the sound of vocals and other instruments to make only the sound of the guitar.

There is no guitar solo in this attempt, and I didn't play the chords and tried to accompaniment phrases. This is because it is meaningless unless the listener can easily listen to vocals and other performances. Therefore, I think it is easier to practice the scale using the guitar.

PS
There are quite a few artists I would like to collaborate with someday. Lisha has long been one of the representatives, and I have long waited for the opportunity to come. Recently, I have actually had the opportunity to dramatically improve the collaborative environment. Even with an already completed sound source, it is impossible to completely separate it for each instrument, but now it is possible to separate files into several major parts. 

In this work, even if the volume is set a little louder to maintain the sound quality of the guitar, the vocals are cut out from other parts, so the volume and sound quality of the vocals could be sufficiently maintained. That is one of the major backgrounds that made it possible to release this recording
(I've uploaded a version here that matches the genuine Apple earphones for the iPhone, so  it's a good idea to set up an equalizer for your listening environment).

Lisha approved my this attempt to be published here. I thank her sincerely for her generosity.

Ancient Egypt, land of great mystery, culture and achievements..
Land of Ra...
Ra is the Egyptian word for 'sun'. As a solar deity, Ra embodied the power of the sun but was also thought to be the sun itself, envisioned as the great god riding in his barge across the heavens throughout the day and descending into the underworld at sunset.
My ode to that great civilization and the Sun  responsible for all life on this planet..

A special thank you to Pamela Illanes, (https://soundcloud.com/user-315009621), a wonderful composer that even had her own work played by a real orchestra, early on during my writing I struggled with writers block for almost 2 weeks, one night we engaged in a conversation and Pam was very helpful, she gave me the patience and strength I needed at the time, writers block really gets to me. Its wonderful when artists help each other and I am very lucky to have her as a friend.

Another composition recorded before the war. I hope one day I will return to my home studio. Any support from you is much appreciated on these extremely hard times for our country, our family. 
I could have recorded much new music for the last 9 months... unless russians came to our yard to "save" us with their tanks, missiles, bombs and war planes at 4 a.m. on Feb 24th. And yes, they saved us from our house, from our normal life, from our dreams and plans. They saved my elderly parents from their home and peaceful life in retiring, saved my daughter from happy childhood, from school, from her friends and vacation by the sea. We'll never forget and never forgive it! I'm sure that russia will get what it deserves - each rocket they launch on Ukraine will turn to another 10 years of disaster for their cowardly people.
 Special thanks to Houman (@houmans) for mastering the track! Please check out his wonderful soundtracks.

I heard Erik the Flutemaker describe how he imagined how the pre-historic man first came up with the flute concept.
He imagined a group of early humans living near a forest, occasionally weird sounds would come from the forest that scared them into running away, until a inquisitive ancestor ventured into the forest in search of this unworldly noise .
He found a bamboo that fell ,the little forest bugs ate the inside of the bamboo as it is soft and eventually decomposition made holes in to the bamboo.
Occasionally when it was windy and the wind blow from a certain angle its created a note, a sound.
And that ancestor of ours tried to understand the concept of wind, hollow bamboo with holes...
And maybe this was the way that the flute was born...
I loved that vision and when I saw this art work, it reminded me of this story and my creativity started to develop ...
Erik is a master flute maker, he makes All kinds of amazing flutes, please visit his site, it will bring you joy... https://eriktheflutemaker.com/

I decided to use nylon strings on the two electric acoustic guitars I own. One day, after purchasing it online and overcoming some challenges, I dozed off for a while. Then I suddenly got up and started playing the blues, intending to tune it. I thought it wasn't that bad, so I just recorded it using a microphone. Since it's an electric acoustic guitar, it has a pickup, but I decided not to use it this time. The decision was made that it might be better to record with a microphone to take advantage of the tones of the nylon strings.

■Helplessly Hoping (2005 Remaster) - Crosby, Stills and Nash 
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BdBs7JFn9Pk

◇A historic masterpiece that can be played with a simple chord progression and basic three-finger playing technique◇

[Am7]Helplessly hoping her  [C]harlequin  hovers near-[G]by,    awaiting   a   [D]word.
[Am7]Gasping at glimpses of [C]gentle true  spirit he [G]runs wishing he could [D]fly
only to [Am7]trip at the [C]sound of good-[G]bye. [D] 
------------------
I started playing this song to get my hands used to playing a guitar with nylon strings (ball end type). This is because I often play it for tuning purposes. I feel that it will still take some time for me to get used to these strings, so I will upload a number of recordings here, including some of me sluggishly, and show off my practice scenes.

I know that this song has been covered many times by large choirs and choral groups consisting of several people at recitals and the like. I recommend that you use the link below and use it as one of your regular practice songs :)

Once you listen to this recording, you'll notice that my guitar strings have a slight crackling sound. This wouldn't be a problem if my guitar wasn't used to the new strings, but this song uses a lot of open string sounds. Therefore, even if the performer tries to control the chattering sound with his left hand, he may not be able to do so. 

In other words, our acoustic journey with nylon strings has only just begun. I would be happy if you could feel that at this stage of recording, I am still in the ``beginner'' stage where I can't control myself. Because if you listen to the original work on YouTube from the link above and start singing along, you won't be able to hear the slight creak of my guitar in this recording. Please sing along with CSN's music source. 

Please master this song that has been sung by many people for decades. And sing along with my guitar. If you are practicing guitar, please follow the same steps. It would be a great honor for me to be able to start this nylon string acoustic journey with you all from the very beginning. That's a great start :)

Helplessly Hoping - CSN cover (SOLO) with a gut-string guitar

There are forests on Earth that endure extreme winters, places where temperatures can reach up to -40/-50C.
They are called Taiga 
Plants and animals go into hibernation hoping they have stored enought nutrients to survive another extreme seasson.
A once thriving forest full of beauty, sounds and colours turn in to a deadly , almost lifeless , colourless and soundless frozen desert.
Life`s clock seems to slow down to a halt while hours turn to days , days turn to weeks and weeks turn to months.
Until the first sun rays strong enough to stop the ice and snow`s  deadly grip ,appear..
Like an explosion...Life`s clock speeds up while the forest heart beats faster and faster, the forest is awaking along with its inhabitants..
Spring returns ...Life begins ....again...

Contrary To My Belief - feat Shamoozey

Hey everyone. 2024 is coming. I sincerely hope that it will be a good year for everyone. I uploaded my performance of this song here because I wanted my friends to know that the gut strings on my electric acoustic guitar have finally calmed down. The strings have become accustomed to the guitar and I no longer hear any squeaks. Do not you think so? 

I chose this song because it's one of the songs I always play when tuning my guitar. Just set the capo on the 7th fret and play a simple chord like D, G, A7 or D, G, E and you're done. I'm a beginner when it comes to nylon string guitars, so this would be the perfect song for me to try out. I would like all of you who are practicing guitar to take this opportunity to master it. Also, I recently learned that this work, one of The Beatles' works, became the most listened to song of The Beatles' works on Spotify in 2021. It's a work that is popular all over the world. 

This is George Harrison's work. I hope that the serious wars and conflicts currently occurring will end as soon as possible. And, as George Harrison sings in this work, I hope that the day will come soon when we can all sing, `

Here comes the sun, do-do-do
Here comes the sun, and I say
It’s all right
Little darling, it’s been a long, cold, lonely winter
Little darling, it feels like years since it’s been here
Here comes the sun, do-do-do
Here comes the sun, and I say
It’s all right

When I listened to the recorded version myself, I was surprised at how simple it was, with no drums or bass, just a nylon string guitar solo. Should I play it again later with a pick and re-record it, or should I play it very slowly and re-record it, or should I change the position of the capo tasto and change the key of the performance? I had a lot of hesitation, but I decided to leave it as is, thinking that this was a record of me practicing to get used to playing the nylon string guitar and sharing it with you all. In other words, rather than getting confused at this stage, if you could sing along with this recording out loud, the weakness of this recording being too simple and lonely would be quickly overcome. I realized that it would be better to move on to the next step as soon as possible. So, I started thinking that my next step would be to try playing this nylon string guitar along with someone's amazing vocals on SoundCloud.

One day, I suddenly start to think that this wonderful song is blues.  I checked the chord progression on the guitar.  I started to be confident that the blues three chords would be a perfect fit for this song.  After finding the three chords that fit this song, I checked the melody line.  I thought it would be good to grasp the vocal melody line in order to confirm the scale that fits this work.  I decided to record the process.  I want you to forgive me for this recording being pretty rough.  Because this recording is just a quick note for confirmation. 
I'm sure it will help you practice your guitar.  Those practicing guitar need to know that blue note chord progressions and scales are quite different from Western music.
Please take this opportunity to check the relationship between the blues chord progression and the blue note scale.

Postscript.  (2020.12.24)
*To me, this song sounds like singing the following lyrics.  I applaud it.I'm hoping that if a lot of people like this appear, maybe this world will last a little longer, and maybe a little better.  

——————————————
1. He dressed me in exaggerated numbers and turned me into a shining girl.
 Even for a moment, it made me appear shining.
 But it was all a phantom.  No matter how big the numbers, I could never chart in.
The big numbers they put on me weren't the result of their promotional ability.  They were just forgery of numbers, they were just forgery.  They just wanted to make themselves look bigger to everyone.
 So, Set me free.

2. Their fake act was detected by everyone.  As a result, I also fell miserably.  
Those who were in a good mood had glory for a while, but now they have fallen to the ground, changing their names and hiding.  But I'm not like them.  
I'm already out of the forged world they created.  I don't need a fake number.  I'll start over.  At last that time came to me.
 What makes me different from them is that I love music.  So, Set me free.

**I always hope that the quality of music in SoundCloud will improve and that fair and creative relationships between users will be built and maintained.  And I pray for the further prosperity of SoundCloud.

***I would like to express my heartfelt gratitude to those who have long wished to solve this problem, and to the many people with great courage and intelligence.  And I give my respect to those people.  I've heard that the "they" who pointed out the problem repeated acts that were suspected of continuing to damage the SoundCloud system for a long time.  And it has long hindered the formation of a normal community by its users.  That alone is already a big criminal act, but it has left an endless number of problematic behaviors.  I don't think the agencies involved will easily forgive them.  If you're still unaware of the significance of that, but have enough musical knowledge and skills, you should at least suspect that you're in Stockholm Syndrome.   Others should think twice about the possibility that you assimilated with them and made some mistakes.  If you ever think you've violated a rule or committed a criminal offense, I suggest you hurry and start compensating for it the way you think it's appropriate.

This recording is an overdubbing of my guitar on the work "Taking It Back feat. IPG" of "Paploviante".
https://soundcloud.com/paploviante-and-friends/taking-it-back-feat-ipg1

When I first heard this work on the "IPG1" page, I still didn't understand how wonderful it was. I realized that when I heard "Lillithe" make it into a work. I once again admired the musical talent of "Lillithe". I thought there was no room for me to get in there. But that wasn't the end of the story. This is because "Paploviante", a partner of "Lillithe", finished it in another work. The work was also a wonderful finish. As I listened to it many times, one day I suddenly began to wonder, "I think this is blues." I chose a blues three-code that matches the work of "Paploviante". I checked whether the scale derived from it fits the Vocal of "IPG1". It matched exactly. The three chords are introduced below, so if you are practicing playing the guitar, please play the guitar with our recording.Please take this opportunity to check the relationship between the blues chord progression and the blue note scale.
