I like this @Nutty 1 ill have to try something! most of what we do around here is just pull out the old acoustic guitar and play. I might just film it too.

@Texaspackerfan and @Nutty 1,

I am also thinking of doing some "playing on the porch" and record it. 1 track, no special effects, just like @mark_h.

Here's a draft version of a new original song I've been working on. It's called 'Picture on My Phone' and it was just recorded on my iPhone, complete with errors!

Great call Mandy! Ian has already set a high bar. This is this seasons most requested Brides entrance. Ed Sheeran’s “Perfect”. I recorded it on my phone into GB and there is a lot of background noise. There are also two bass notes that are way more forceful then intended, but it is just the guitar played acoustically. I did double the track to increase the volume a bit. The photo was taken at a recent wedding I played in Marbella, “I love my office!”

Mark

Beautiful playing Mark. Your instrumentals always touch me and provide inspiration to all of us  yearning to play as well as you. What a wonderful outlet you have for sharing in Spain, and thanks for sharing with us.

Ian, this is great! Your fingerstyle is growing by leaps and bounds, a testament to your dedication and practice. So nice to see you still creating new music for all of us to enjoy. Well done. my friend.

That's as beautiful as ever @mark_h. I can imagine it working perfectly (if you'll forgive the pun) at a wedding.

This month I spent 2 weeks of holidays in the French Pyrenees where I had a great mountain view from the terrace while practicing this solo blues arrangement. Now I know how it feels to have an office like @mark_h!

 It's a simple 1 track blues shuffle in E, with some rhythm and some licks.

Thanks for listening.

Wim

Thanks, Mandy. I only have a picture of the view.

But now our dear moderator @NeilES335 might blame me for using disk space on non guitar related topics 😀

Thank you Ian. That wig was so long it took me a few takes because it got in the way of my strumming a few times and when I put the guitar on top of it to get it away from the strings it was so slippery that the guitar started to slide off of my lap. I bet Cher never had that problem. 🤣

Really good Ian ! I do have a suggestion....Have you ever thought of using  "2" cords ie D2, G2  etc. substitution  for open D, G etc.?

Thanks Neil, I’ll play around with that. I have been trying to incorporate some of Steve’s ‘Money Chords’ into my playing and will try to do more of that.
