Hi Kevin, thanks for listening and the very nice comments.Now I'll have to keep playing; )
 
Hi eph221, thanks for listening, hope this wasn't to obnoxious ; ) Thanks for the recommendation, I used to play in that style, I'm running out of usable fingers so this is the best I can do at the moment.

but, because you have specialized knowledge of the guitar,  you can write for it.  Modern chamber music for guitar is virtually non-existent.  Cheers!

Sorry to hear of your problems. My brother whose a guitarist has had operations for carpal tunnel and has almost given up with the guitar, although not the same I can relate to your frustration.  
 
As for the music the guitar has been beautifully recorded and I could listen to this for hours. What mic did you use to capture it? 

Nice little piece.  Wish it was a bit longer.  

Hi eph, thanks for the suggestion, I would have to learn to read and write music notation first ; )
 
Hi Biodiode , thanks for listening, I intent to keep playing until I run out of usable fingers ; )   Glad you like the tone because I didn't use a mic, I plugged my Ovation electric/acoustic straight in,with a bit of eq and compression and reverb.
 
Hi voda, thanks for listening, glad you find it to short ; )

Very nice work, Rikki. The backing chords are almost identical to those in Gonard's Ave Maria. Is this tune a take-off from that one? Just a guess due to the song title.

Hi Scotty, thanks for listening.Good ear, I thought if Gounod can steal a bit of Bach I could too ; )

There's nothing new under the sun.  All new, original works are isomorphic.  I'm still waiting for post modern music and no, phil glass aint it.  Glass basically built on rothko.  I haven't a clue why he's so successful.

Hi eph, had to look up "isomorphic"  , sounds better than stealing ; )

Very nice...    Are both tracks the Ovation?   The lead sounds like one, but the backing part sounds more "round'.     Either way... good stuff!  I can't imagine what you're going through at the moment, but @#$%, this sounds like someone who is comfortably in the zone!
