Default Acoustic Improvised Instrumental

A few different styles and techniques used to create this song.

Hope you like it. Feedback much appreciated.

It is a prodigious collection of styles and techniques. Might fall more into playing guitar as opposed to playing music. I just didn't get a cohesive theme underlying the technique.

It is a bit of a mish-mash. A work in progress....

I liked it, some cool ideas in there. You must be a fan of John Butler's 'Ocean'?!

Yes, I'm a big fan!! Andy Mckee and Newton Faulkner too.
Ocean was one of the first songs I tried to cover. I learnt a lot from it.

I like the pacing, it seems to flow very well. It does wander away from the theme at times, but it wouldn't be hard to bring it back.

It's very interesting to listen to, which is always my final yardstick. I'm eagerly waiting to hear the next phase on this one.

Cheers, I'll let you know how I get on. I'm working on a few songs at the minute and I might share these too.

Thank you Leon. Let me know when you're in Brighton next. I'm studying at BIMM and should be doing a few gigs in the near future.

Liked your song and nice variety of techniques. What style do you see yourself settling into? Do you have a fav artist?
Nice video production too.

Thanks!!! I'm still learning my own style. My first influence was Newton Faulkner but for the last two years I've been following John Butler.
The video was made by some friends studying Media Production. I was helping them out but they ended up helping me out.
