Storm on the Mountain

I think I didn't have this guitar very long when I wrote this - a new instrument can be such an inspiring thing!

Wow! Amazing talent !
This is really really cool. Definitely sounds like a storm coming down on the mountain!

Your usual quality Laurence my friend. I am soooo glad I joined UU - I'm getting to 'know' so many talented musicians!
Really impressed by this buddy so thanks for sharing.
May I ask, how did you record the guitar sound - direct or using an external mic?

Just excellent Laurence.......Your music writing and playing skills are top notch. What a joy to find, and no trademark thumb pick on these guitars. I suspect it will make an appearance very shortly. Great stuff!

+1 Totally amazing! It is so true that a new instrument will inspire creativity, and luckily for us it did in this case! 5 very large Stars from Australia!

Thank you all very much! It's pretty cool that UU has this little corner for guitar players to show their wares. I never know where to post these - the acoustic guitar sites are pretty miserable.

Dave, I forgot to answer you question. Yes, I always use an external mic. Even an inexpensive one is going to sound a lot better than the one that comes with a laptop or *pad

I have to be honest and say that on most (not all, obviously, I have 'met' some great and genuine people there) of the guitar web sites I've visited I've seen lots and lots of members insulting each other, running down and belittling each other's videos/queries/questions, and lots of egos running wild.

UU is the first online community I have personally found where (thus far, maybe I shouldn't be opening my big trap! lol) everyone since my day one here has been welcoming, encouraging and supportive. And long may it last...please. x

Totally agree about the egos, Dave - the objective for a lot of them seems to be to impress, using as much tricky fretboard wizardry as possible! Here, we are basically all equal in that we just want to share the joy of music!
