It has been well over a year since I've last composed a piece with this guitar. I admittedly don't play it much because I'm so afraid of putting a dent on it...
But every time I pick up my Tree SJ I'm reminded of how much I enjoy playing it. It would such a waste to keep it in its case... So in the last couple of weeks I've been working on a piece which I've called "Rue Malouin". When I was in grade school, I'd meet the prettiest girl of my class nearly every day on Malouin Street at 12:50 pm. We'd have 10 minutes to eat our candies and walk to school. Life was good...  Thank you for listening. https://youtu.be/Nwo4JpURVLI Last edited by JoeCharter; 09-24-2016 at 08:27 AM.

Mau, FYI I keep getting an error message on this UTube. Don't know if that's an issue for me and my equipment or someplace else. I'm able, however, to tap into other UTube's without problems.

Ok.....all is good now.....Utube has returned!
Wow.....love the visual you gave of your grade school adventures which accompanies this lovely piece. (brought back a few of my own grade school adventures!). It's just exquisite Mau......your runs in the middle are mind blowing with their accuracy and the phrasing is perfect. Really liked the little bit of strumming at the end which adds into the pallet of sound you bring to this. Once again.....taken away to a really nice place with listening to this piece. Life IS good when Mau posts a song!

Awesome !

Based on my playing skills alone, I don't dare to hope for even a miserable approximation, but you have inspired me to try to record a few of my guitars. Really more just to hear and preserve their tone, not really to perform which I've been restricted from doing in public (via court injunction) due to disturbing the peace (not to mention my singing causing ears to bleed). Thanks for the inspiration ! Keep 'em coming ! John

I came up with the main theme a couple of weeks ago, recorded an improvised version that was perhaps two minutes longer -- and then removed some redundant parts and rehearsed it for a couple of hours. If my story happened in 2016 my parents and the school would probably be accused of child neglect...

You should definitely recording yourself and your various guitars. At first I thought that recording was such a daunting task but it probably is the most useful skill I've learned (sort of) in the last few years. And forget the court injunction and buy yourself a trombone. Or a bagpipe. Freedom of speech all the way...

[/QUOTE] Yep, I resemble that too.... albeit, from a generation earlier.....and so it goes!

Beautifully conceived and played. Such a lovely melody....it certainly does evoke a nostalgic feel.

Exquisite Mau. I had a young blonde in my 1st grade class that captured my imagination. Glad you gave us the back story. I was glad to see her again as you played.
