Default New Original instrumental: "Now and Forever"

Good morning, AGF!!

Here's a new tune for you.....upbeat tempo in DGDGBE tuning. This is played on my Flammang 000, which seemed to fit best after experimenting with other instruments. Somehow this guitar came to the head of the pack for this one! LOL!
I hope you enjoy.......
Best wishes,
Fred

Very nice Fred!

That Flammang 000 has an unusual and appealing tone and you did a nice job with your recording.

Of course, your playing is right on! I like all those double stops in there!

Well done Fred! I really enjoyed this!

- Glenn

Very nice, Fred. It carves out a different space than some of your other tunes. I enjoyed it very much!

Thank you so much, Bob!! Yes, it really is a different space......sometimes those just kind of "arrive" when the moment/mood cuts in! LOL! The tune in my signature "Noodlelicious" is also a bit different. Thanks again......the "season" is just about upon us!!

Thanks so much, Barry! Yep, it's got some bounce! As one person said, "energy and atmosphere". LOL!
Fun to play, I kinda like how it came together.

Nice recording and playing. Perhaps add a second or more variation composition wise.

Hey Fred,

Great recording! I could never do that...

I think it's kinda too even, maybe the title is holding it back. If it's about a relationship then maybe you can put the weird twists from the relationship into the song.

I'm looking for more pronounced hooks, like slide-em or bend-em.
