Default "Sustaine Me"

Posted this a few years back. On my youtube channel now.
Maybe will help you relax. Head's up to Cornerstone guitars.

That was great. Lovely, of course, and a lot more. I think it forces listeners to shut down internal dialogue and pay attention. I got strong mental images from this, especially imagining a live performance where you could hear a pin drop. Nice work, Derek. Did you prepare much for the recording? Sounds like you spent all day in meditation.

Thanks. Usually by the day I record a piece I have spent quite a bit of time on it for the details of how I want it
to go and also play for a warm up period on recording day.

The Cornerstone guitar (one of the forum road trip guitars from a few years ago) has a nice warmth and sustain.

Thanks. Variety. Sometimes I like writing the fast pieces and sometimes the slow pieces like this one.

Thanks again guys. The guitar has a nice warmth and clarity. Probably should have bought it.
