Default "Ellipse" (original instrumental composition)

Might as well begin my posting on the forum with a bang... (why not?)

So, this is a little instrumental I wrote in 2017 that I call "Ellipse". Not only is it written in an ABA pattern (which I thought could justify the title somewhat) but there's quite a bit of looping picking patterns in the midsection of it - I thought that the title would represent the latter as justification a little better, but they both work I suppose.

Anyway, so here you have it...

I like it, and I do think the title fits the music nicely!

Ellipse is one of my favorite words, actually.

Really enjoyed that!! Some segments very "Richie Havens-esque"! (right down to the Guild acoustic!) Really nice rhythm and groove going on there!
Best,
Fred

Hey, AJ. Very nicely done. Some crazy picking in there, and a great piece for listening as well.

You should post your stuff in the SoundHole as well; been a while since you visited. Not that it’s changed a bunch. But it is a bunch of guitar players.

I'm not sure I understand the advantage to that. You can't actually link the vimeo video so I was using the "custom" url which includes the channel name and the video shortcut link... The posting page automatically parsed the text as a link, right?

Thanks y'all for the kind words about the video... Glad you enjoyed this one. I quite enjoyed working on it. I've been very fruitful lately (musically) and I'm going to continue to upload several more things in the near future on that Vimeo channel. At the moment there's three other instrumentals there as well. I'm kind of excited to get some tunes that have been germinating out into the wild. I sing and play too but I haven't yet uploaded any of those songs. Soon.

You're welcome.
Your code is not a clickable link. My code is. Use that format in the future.
