New original "Abigail's Lullaby" on a Beneteau Concert Model

[Dustinfurlow]

Hey folks,

Been awhile since I last posted an original tune here. I plan to release a fully-instrumental album entitled "Woodscapes" this March and this will be my first video/promo release for it. Please "like", comment, or subscribe if you enjoy the tune.

The song:
Should I ever father any children I hope for my first to be a girl, named Abigail. When this melody came to me I knew right away it was to be a soothing sort of waltz, one that would be useful in meditation or de-stressing. Decided I'd dedicate it to my little-girl-to-be, should she ever come to I'd use this to put her to sleep, or try

The guitar, tuning, and audio side:
Obtaining this guitar built by Marc Beneteau was a milestone for me, in that the first time I played one exactly like it, I couldn't afford it - but knew I would either custom order one just like it or snatch the next one that came up for sale even if it meant some serious debt.
It is a long-scale(25.75) concert standard made with a tight European spruce top and African Blackwood back and sides. The longer scale allows me to play in C tunings with light strings and it still sustains without being floppy and projects a strong bass-response. The 15 7/8' lower bout provides incredible balance and dynamic range while the blackwood's dark sustain is hand's down the best I've ever heard in a steel string guitar. I've just custom ordered another guitar from Marc with this same wood combo but with upgrades and wider spacings so this particular guitar will be for sale at some point in the next 7 months.
This particular tune is in CGCEGC tuning, or DADF#AD (open D) a whole step down. The microphones used were custom Schoepps stereo condensers through several custom Pendulum pre's.

I hope you all enjoyed the tune and stay posted for more original music

Very pretty piece and the guitar sounds awesome, looking forward to hearing more from you. I occasionally see your name pop in Instagram threads posted by Calum Graham and I think Andy Mckee too, I remember you saying they were both strong influences.
