my wife says that this sketch isn’t “peppy.” i think it bounces along well enough. it feels like a throwback to some folksy fireside geetar music mixed up with an etude by fernando sor. i think it’s light and has a lot of space.<\/p>\n
as i was telling my friend Kevlar<\/a> the other day, i give myself 3 takes. that means i get about 10 minutes to warm up on nights when i don’t play for the dude in his room before bed and then i wind up with 20 minutes or so to produce 3 takes.<\/p>\n my rationale for this is pretty simple. when i was studying the classical guitar full time, i learned that if you stop when you make a mistake, you never really get past it. you learn to get to the point of the mistake, make the mistake and stop. so i play through it. this is intimidating at first since it’s going directly to disk for me to hear again and again, but so what? i have a delete key. but i don’t use it. for the same reason that i used to compose in pen: i might not like something now, but it could make sense later.<\/p>\n well that was more of a ramble than i had intended. less talk, more music. if you enjoy it, please make a comment and let me know.<\/p>\n thanks for listening!<\/p>\n
