Not a synthesizer in hearing (well there wasn't when I first posted this).
 
A little acoustic number Butterflies just the Wookiee on nylon guitar
 
Comments and crits welcome
 
Edit 1
Our very own Rik had a noodle over this and this is what we got Butterflies featuring Rik
 
Edit 2
Or this is how it sounded back in 2006 Butterflies 2006 when I was not so brave.
 
Edit 3 
Rik heard the 2006 version and he noodled some more Butterfly 2006 featuring Rik

Hi John, nice one, I enjoyed playing along.  Maybe you could add a lead line on top of this ? Or, since you're playing D-shapes, add some notes with your pinky ?

Thanks Rik this was/is a bit of fun I wrote this way back when I first got a guitar and was learning to play and discovered shapes.  There is another version with synths and percussion bass line and a lead, but I was recently given an old Spanish nylon, it is actually a Spanish made guitar, which inspired me to have a go at playing as written.
 
Thanks again for listening and if you fancy having a go at adding something over the top give me a PM.

Thanks Frank appreciate the listen and agree, if you look at my reply to Rikki you will see this is just me getting old I mean nostalgic.

Nice little noodle of a song. We all start at the beginning of our new experiences, then we learn to start over. Nice little learner and fun tune. You have come a long way since then. Nice piece. Enjoyed.
 
Peace and Blessings, John

Thanks John, I think Rik has been having a noodle over it so there might be some development.

Hey there, Wookster!
 
Beautiful playing and nice, warm acoustic tone on this classy little instrumental, John!
 
Sometimes it's just nice to get back to the basics and hear something in the raw form that it was written in.  I think it creates an honest, solemn feel that portrays the original emotion that sparked the initial creativity.
 
Great stuff, my friend thanks for sharing!
Bob

Hi Freddy seems Soundcloud has been giving some/many people some problems if you are still interested it can be found at Reverberation nation in my signature link.  Thanks for trying to have a listen.
 
Mr Bob thank you very much for popping in and giving my little tune a listen, thank you for your kind words and encouragement.  I have been spending more time lately getting to grips with the guitars I have and as I have now got ten collections of tunes on CD using mainly synthesisers I thought I should try and by a little more organic.
 
Thanks to all whom have listened.
