This month's theme comes to us from @UncleHammy

Theme:  Action

Description:  Any song that is about an action or has an action in the title..  Ex.  Jumping Jack Flash, Running to Stand Still, Dancing in the Streets,  A Lot Less Talk and a Little More Action, Wild Horses.  You get the drift.  This should be a pretty open topic.

Deadline: 11:59 PM PST  July 31, 2018

1.  @mark_h - "Driving Into the Sunset "

2.  @Wim VD "Let Her Go"

------------------< RULES >-------------------------
SUBMITTING: To complete the challenge, record an eligible song and reply to this thread with your your direct-linked or embedded track (Soundcloud's great) before the end of the month.

GUITAR REQUIREMENT: You must play at least one real guitar track heard in the mix.

GEAR: All content must be recorded with your home studio equipment. You may use BIAB or loops as long as you play the majority of the song with your real guitar. This is a guitar playing challenge not a sampling/recording challenge so keep that in mind.

TIME: A recording made at any time before the entry deadline counts, but do not enter a recording in more than one challenge.

ONE ENTRY per person or collaboration. But, I doubt anybody will complain if you want to share another on-theme track too.

NEXT THEME: The person to choose next month's theme will be chosen randomly from those who complete this challenge. 
-----------------------------------------------------

Have fun, try something new, and give us something to listen to!

Well, I opted out of last months challenge and I’m cheating a bit this month! Here is an  original smooth Jazz piece called “Driving into the sunset” it used to be called “into the sunset”, but that wouldn’t have qualified. ? the percussion is the only part not played on guitar, all the other instruments are guitar synths. It was this or “Fly me to the moon” AGAIN. ???? Happy 4th of July. Mark

Looking for a song that would fit into this month's challenge, I came across this one from Passenger. I don't play fingerstyle often, and learning the intro took much more effort and time than expected.

But now it's done, I definitely want to keep it in the small repertoire I started to build.

Thanks for listening.

Wim.

Great job Wim! That’s not an easy piece. ?? it’s a lovely tune, I’d forgotten how much I like it. You’ve inspired me to have a go at it over the winter. ?

Thanks, Mark, 

I think it would fit your playing style very well.

@mark_h and @Wim VD, another superb submission from each of you this month. Thanks for keeping them coming, I enjoyed listening to both. 

Mark, I love that you changed the title of your original composition just to make it fit, that made me chuckle!

Wim, I swear that you get noticeably better each month.

Keep it up guys!
