Here's Is There Anybody Out There? by Pink Floyd. Abilio inspired me to learn this beautiful piece.
Well I drove myself crazy trying to record the perfect take. As you might imagine I didn't succeed, but I'm happy enough. There are some deadish notes, buzzes, squeaks and a slight pause. There's probably other stuff too that I'm not even aware of hence the post. I also need to get back to some of my other projects. Sue reckons she can hear this song even when I'm not playing it; oops. A sure sign that I need to get a new song. Not that she's complained.
Even though it's driven me a little crazy over the last couple of days I've enjoyed learning it and recommend it to anyone.
Abilio's inspiration has been good to you. That was as close to perfect as you can get, and I thoroughly enjoyed that performance. Thanks for a wonderful way to start my day.

Beautiful Michele, thank you. I liked your description of your own effort very much, and to pick out the very minor aspects that make it a little less than perfect would seem mean spirited...so I don't intend to. Bravo, I loved it.

Michele,
As always, just lovely. I started working on this song not long ago, inspired originally by Marc's upload of it. It's such a beautiful solo guitar piece. So spare and haunting. Your version is great. I envy Sue getting to hear you play all the time!

Michele, wonderfully played. I too noticed the very slight grin at the end. Still don't know if you really have teeth, but a wry smile is a good start. :laugh: Lovely guitar. Have you observed how far your playing has come? Very nice.
