ROG,
A nice piece. The guitar sounds good. And I really like the way it and the strings join together.
It would be a cool experiment to see if you could reproduce the guitar part using the Ample Sound guitar!
Enjoyed.
fj Hi Floyd, Many thanks for the kind words. I've got the Ample Guitar VST now and it's really interesting. I did at one time write out a score for this track, because it got used quite extensively as an examination piece. If I can find a copy then I'll certainly have a go at typing it in. The only problem I can see is the tempo map - the live version constantly varies the tempo, but I'll see how it goes. If I get anything worthwhile I'll send you a PM. Thanks again for introducing me to the Ample Sound stuff. Cheers, ROG.

Rog, that guitar sounds great. Your bass playing is also very good as were the string parts you so expertly added. The mix was just perfect.
I would like to hear this with a nylon string guitar and a double bass. I'd bet that would sound super.
Excellent chops and musicianship in this song.

Hi ROG ...
Some previously commented using the word "delicate". That's exactly what I was thinking as I listened twice. Actually, a delicate fragility that remains strong in delivery. Such a soothing listen. I enjoyed this from beginning to end. I'm in awe of the wonderful and tender sound you got with so few tracks.
Wishing you the very best. Please stay safe ...

I can't decide if this wonderful piece is Magnificently Medieval or Medievally magnificent. Either way, it is a minute and a half of bliss.
Speaking Medievally, methinks the beautiful guitar sound has as much to do with the craftsman as the tool.
One small point, it sounds like there is slight clipping at 28 and 38 seconds.
Thanks for sharing this.
Mike

Beautiful melody, taking my mind to times when music was played at kings' castles. I was just thinking how this would sound with the instruments of that time, like lute, harpsichord, harp... anyway, I enjoyed your acoustic playing.
Janne Hi Janne, There isn't a lot of music written especially for classical guitar, so we tend to adapt harpsichord pieces by people like Scarlatti, who is one of my influences along with Domenico Aberti. Maybe this is why this piece made you think of a harpsichord, as well as the other earlier instruments. Many thanks for the listen and review. Cheers, ROG.

Wow what a beautiful song. Your acoustic was so delicate and precise. I also got a medieval vibe from the song. Did trigger the imagination of past English history. Well done. Hi Scott, Yes, it has a feel of the music which might have been played at the court of Henry V111. I do like the music from that period. Thanks for all the nice comments. Cheers, ROG.

We were immediately struck by the beauty of the tone and melody and felt some sense of familiarity with it...then we noted Scott's mention of the medieval vibe and, yep, that was it. A bit of a feeling of lovely countrysides with perhaps a castle in the far distance.
Glad he brought that guitar in for service and even more so that you decided to put it to good use.
You worked the bass and strings in so nicely.
And the clarity of the mix is wonderful.
Janice said the tune would be a good way to start your morning.
Kudos!
J&B Hi there J&B, You're both very kind with your comments. I've always liked and played music in the Baroque style and I'm pleased that it's found favour with you too. Many thanks for the listen and review - much appreciated. Cheers, ROG.

Beautiful piece. It's something I'd expect to hear traipsing about the grounds of Warwick Castle.
Excellent work!

Lovely playing (on a borrowed Taylor - sounds like a song) an an appealing arrangement.
Very pretty.
Peter Hi Peter, It was a nice guitar - looking forward to it coming in for service next time! Many thanks for the review. Cheers, ROG.

Sweet - worth developing further. Many thanks, Ray. I may look at developing it in the future, but it took fifty years to get this far, so don't hold your breath! Cheers, ROG.

Ok... Let me jump back in.
I would like to know specifics on the recording of the Taylor acoustic.
What kind of mic?
Position of the mic in relation to the guitar body/ sound hole?
What processing was used.... EQ shelving, compression, etc.
The guitar is good. Exceptionally well recorded. It's nice and full, you can hear the ring of the strings and the resonance of the wood.
Well done sir. Do tell.
You can find my music at: www.herbhartley.comAdd nothing that adds nothing to the music. You can make excuses or you can make progress but not both. The magic you are looking for is in the work you are avoiding.

This is a real good example of how we can remind ourselves that, even early on, we came up with good stuff. I really enjoyed it--I have to see if I can find my recorder to play along with it!!! Hi Tano, Pleased you enjoyed it and yes, a bit of recorder would fit in there just fine! Many thanks for the review. Cheers, ROG.

ROG, This is some exquisite playing with lot's of feeling. The recording of the Taylor sounds excellent. The ring of familiarity to the beautiful melody makes it very accesable and easy to listen to. Very nicely done, Tom Hi Tom, I always value your opinion and I'm pleased that you liked this one. Many thanks for looking in - much appreciated. Cheers, ROG.

Excellent chops and musicianship in this song. Hi Mario, Thank you very much for those kind words. I agree about the nylon string version, but you might have to play the double bass - I had to play one in the school jazz band and hated the instrument. It had an action you could drive a bus under and to get any volume out of it you had to play so hard it made your fingers bleed. Perhaps it wasn't the best example! Cheers, ROG.

ROG,
Very pretty acoustic instrumental. The guitar work is a treat to listen to—mighty fine playing, right there. Glad you finally found the time to re-record it—definitely worth the listen. Thanks for sharing!
Best regards,
Deej

Alan Hi Alan, You're always very kind with your praise, old friend - you make me blush! It was good to get back to basics with four tracks - like being back in the Porta-Studio days. It's surprising how much stuff we did back in those days with so few tracks and it's a good discipline to practice again. Many thanks for the kind review and all the best to you and Di. Take care and stay safe, ROG.
