My ideal - (solo tune #19)

playing around with a more broken up/contrapuntal texture

i still find hybrid picking to be ….unnatural… I guess I’m a flat picker!

Sounds great. I like the broken up thing always personally... or at least like to look at the fuller block chord thing as the variation... rather than the other way around.

I especially enjoy your pure playing vids. Congrats.

Your approach lends the song a pensive quality that is appropriate, IME. Nice tones from The Loar.
Your lava lamp looks lorn. It is lump-less. Give it some juice! *

* Like I should talk!

Mine's in another room. I must redress this.

Yes the broken chords work great for you tune and a nice jazzy tune it is. So did I miss the first 18?

That's a sweet room, what's the orange thing on the white couch? For that matter is that the back of a white couch?

The first 18 can be found here, bit of a lockdown project... I've slowed down a little haha. Solo playing was never something I focussed on so it's been a good learning experience.

Thanks, that is the nice looking corner of the room. At some point no doubt daddy will be turfed out and have to find somewhere else, but for the moment it's pretty great to have a dedicated practice space (not that I have much time to practice haha)

The orange thing you refer to might be the my new 10" Toob from Gitterbug. It's great, but I am awaiting a Quilter Superblock to properly demo it - none of the micro amps I currently have do it justice - the Princeton sounds mega through it though.
