For Charlie

This fretless 12-string solo song is the most difficult piece I ever recorded in my life. It sounds easy but it requires a lot of concentration and strength to keep all the melodic lines, chords and basses in tune with a good tone and a coherent dynamic between all the strings. The result is a unique combination of sweetness and retained high energy; the end is dramatic with chords including extremely low notes (down to B00).
