New original in DADGAD: "Weekday Slumber"

[Dustinfurlow]

This is just beautiful and inspiring Fred, no other way to put it. Your pieces always bring me somewhere I wish to stay longer. Gonna have another few listens, don't ever sell that Doerr...it's special.

Both songs are simply fantastic Mr. Island! Wonderful and full and free and beautiful and magical. I need a thesaurus for more, but you get the point. Thank you for sharing.

In regards to never needing to commission another guitar though, I must disagree there and would love to tempt you this September!

Rene hit the nail on the head with the word “serene” while describing this. I’ll add “placid” and “pacific” (and even a banal “peaceful” for good measure).

Really wonderful, Fred. I’m delighted you shared this with us.

Lovely composition Fred and excellent playing and recording. Thanks for sharing.

That was really lovely, Fred! That Doerr Legacy has such a great sound! And it sounds about perfect in DADGAD tuning! Very pretty composition, Fred and well played and recorded!

Thank you, my friend! (and fellow mod!). Really appreciate your thoughts on both my tunes.
Commissioning with Tom D was a blast....no way to fully say "never again", if you know what I mean! LOL!!

Be well,
Fred

Thank you, Glenn!! It's quite possible that Tom D. worked his bracing toward DADGAD and other alternate tunings when he did my build. I sent him a number of tunes in the build process so that he could hear and adapt in some ways to my style. The guitar never disappoints!!
Many thanks again, Glenn!

Just beautiful Fred!
