Default Matthew's Tune (original)

Now that I've retired, I've decided to step gingerly into the world of home recording, and start capturing some of the things I've been playing for the last 40-plus years.

I slid this one into the CF forum a few weeks ago, and got a pleasantly favourable response, so I thought I'd post it here.

This is an iPhone capture of a tune I wrote some 29 years ago, on the birth of our first son, Matthew. Guitar is my Emerald X20.

A little tentative (and a lot reflective ), but hopefully you'll get the idea.

Very pretty melody, David, and the tune certainly held up well after all these years. I enjoyed your easy style. Thanks for posting it.

Nice job on this David!

I enjoyed your composition and hearing you play. It was also interesting to hear the sound of your Emerald X20.

Well done!

- Glenn

Nice tune Dave. Like the bridge (I have never been good at creating those!).

Thank you all! I'd almost forgotten I'd posted this. It really is about time I did some more. Life has been a little sideways the last few months...
