So I have just finished recording my first original which
I shall upload tomorrow sometime and honestly I feel kind
of relived. It is just a solo acoustic piece one of many more
originals to come, but not necessarily of the same style.
I am still in the experimentation stage in my music, and so
a lot of my stuff will vary quite significantly, but in some
way that's what I enjoy about the guitar. I've called the
piece 'just a feeling' because that is precisely what it is.
I was sitting on a bench outside one day in the suburb of
Mt. Waverley, was probably one of the best days I had seen
all year. Not too hot, not too cold, the perfect breeze. And
so I Just started to play what I felt and what you hear is
pretty much what I played then. A feeling beyond words which
can only be expressed through what I played. Yes I changed
the occasional nuance here and there and perhaps a chord or
phrase but the essence of what came out at the time still
very much remains and I hope you are able to get a glimpse
of that through my video.

This is my cover of Tommy Emmanuel's 'Angelina'. I always
liked the tune of this song, but never realised he was using
a pick and his fingers so i gave it a try. Unfortunately i
do not have a good 6 string acoustic (steel string) so i got
my dad's 12 string Maton and took away 6 strings. I actually
don't mind the sound, goes alright. Tried to make some deals
with some guitar shops but no one cared :( ah well, the 12
string will do for now. Just going
into Uni now, but i'll keep the uploads more frequent.
