A quiet song for when you are tired!

[MarkJ]

This is the kind of song I make up now when in a particular mood. Made this one up when I was tired. Very tired playing it in this video infact as I had just completed a 10 mile run! For some reason I like to play this piece when I am either worn out or in a mellow mood. I have been playing fingerpicking acoustic for about 2 1/2 yrs now. Damn it is hard to master. Anyways this song is not for diehard rockers but people who might like slow ballads or something of that nature. Not sure there are that many on this forum? Here is the link to the video which is hosted on Youtube. No title to the song but it is fixed as such and I just play the same notes more or less each time now. Should really give it a title - Crock of s***. Something along those lines.

I really liked it! Great feel to it. There was a classical guitar player on soundclick that was really really great, you remind me of him.

Your sound reminds me of one of those instruments (can't remember what they're called). They have a small body with a really round, wide neck with the tuning keys in several places. If you go to a musical festival your bound to see at least one hippie on the side of the road playing one..

Anyway, cool stuff man keep at it.

Cheers. I was rather concerned about putting my own songs on Youtube. Wasn't sure what anyone would think of them. I make songs up just like the one you saw quite quickly. Normally I am in a particular mood - such as sad or something - and bang out comes a new tune. Strange you should mention a classical guitar guy as I did play the classical guitar a long time ago - but only for about 6 months. Also strange the sound I get out of the guitar as others have mentioned it as well. I use picks in such a way it creates a mellow sound. I have tried to make my guitar playing sound like other blues guitarists but I can't seem to do it somehow. Maybe a good thing.

Thanks for the comments as it sure helps in keeping me motivated
