My cover of the wonderful Gary Moore track EMPTY ROOMS. From the 1985 album Run For Cover. I give it a more softer orchestral feeling and add more synths :) :)

EMPTY ROOMS (cover)

STRUCTURES.

A new series of pieces based on the classical guitar (but recorded plugged-in). Composed and played by DS 2015.

It is a work of variations, with some core elements re-appearing multiple times (but evolved, and differently combined). Meditative, explorative, and slightly abstract. Created through a gradual weaving of different themes, growing larger structures ... 

It is likely that there ultimately will be a cycle of five, six, pieces of this kind.

Guitar Structures No. 1 - By David J. Svensson

Improvisation in memory of BB. King, the blues legend


Capace di influenzare una generazione di chitarristi rock, da Eric Clapton a Stevie Ray Vaughan, Riley B. King (questo il suo vero nome) aveva cominciato la carriera negli anni '40 e da allora ha pubblicato piu' di 50 dischi. Il musicista era nato nel 1925 in una piantagione di cotone vicino a Itta Benna, in Mississippi, dove inizialmente aveva lavorato in una fattoria prendendo però contemporaneamente le prime lezioni di musica in una scuola locale.

heartfelt thanks.......Riley B. King

Elisa...for me...

I love the blues and became determined to learn to play when I found my beautiful Eastman archtop guitar up for sale, second hand for a bargain price, in Jan 2012. As soon as I touched it I fell in love.

I first tried playing guitar several decades ago: with unrealistic teenaged enthusiasm I fully expected to sound like Hendrix within a month or two while practising just thirty minutes a week. I gave up when I still struggled to tune my guitar and the cowboy chords I'd learnt sounded really rough when I literally banged on them. Girls were much more interesting.

In my late thirties I had a mid-life crisis(!), so I  bought a US Strat and a Gibson LP Pro, determined to learn to be an ageing 'bedroom rock star'. I was working long and hard hours so only practised on odd weekends, always wondering why following tab and listening to CD lessons was not working. I decided I was tone deaf and incompetent, so yet again, I gave up, still unable to master bar chords, convinced I would never be able to play.

As an early retiree, I decided to give it a final attempt when I found my black beauty: the first few years were a journey of discovery, discipline and sore fingers. I practised most days (except when arthritis in my joints and a trapped nerve in my shoulder 'froze' my fretting pinkie and sent my thumb totally numb). Back then, I trawled YouTube and bought a DVD course of lessons, and plugged away. It was worth it as I really enjoyed the fairly limited range of things I could play.

When I first arrived on Soundcloud, I was not expecting to find such a talented and helpful community. I just wanted to upload a jam track for my friends to hear, then I found the amazing wealth of creativity here. 

Sadly, my frozen shoulder, trapped nerve and related problems have pretty much stopped my guitar ambitions since 2016.

However, I still have a blast exploring all the fabulous originals and covers so many relatively unknown, but hugely talented, musicians have conjured up for the SC community. In my first five weeks on here I downloaded c100 tracks and 'liked' hundreds more, and since then I have created many playlists that I regularly listen to depending on my mood...

Simon Cowell and his ilk (overpaid gatekeepers/brand creators/ubercapitalists) have, until now, throttled mass talent for the sake of creating a relative handful of extremely wealthy 'cash cow' celebs.

Who needs these supposedly 'professional talent spotters' and their artificially enhanced 'celebrities'? The internet rocks!

NB If you too suffer from joint pain, RSI or trapped nerves I highly recommend this free DIY pain relief site: it is not just for guitar related injuries but pain anywhere in the body pretty much, and the techniques used really do work - although for me, they provide just temporary relief. Good luck!
