Neo .........what can I say! You once again covered so many, you amaze me. I always look forward to seeing what scenic background you are going to perform from
and I really liked the stream running behind as you sang and the kids playing in it. I noticed the slight variations on the filming eg Mellow Yellow had a slight yellow hue to it
You once again made it look all very relaxing as you cruised through all the covers you covered. I thought your last one, 'Blues Bossa' with the lead guitar really added to it, hope to see you bring that out more in some of your other covers
Thanks for your kind words - I've got a few more for this month, but unfortunately just in the backyard ...
Cheers
Richard

Unfortunately the water noise is a little overpowering but by using headphones I was able to pick up the guitar work more clearly and you played that piece well. Good job.
Thanks - the problem with having a single mic is ... there is no mixing, which is both good and bad ... but thatnks for the feedback!!!
Cheers

Re: What do you take to a gig? (5 replies, posted in Chordie's Chat Corner)
I haven't gigged in a while, but I always made sure I had a soldering iron on hand ...
These days I'd take my iPad and iPad stand, as I've moved most of my songs on there (thanks Chordie!!)

Glad to hear you are getting the "right: stuff; I hope it does the right job (my personal experience has been that some drugs don't provide the right one).
Good on Classical Guitar for providing you with a tune that brings you such enjoyment!!!

Re: APRIL 2018 FSOTM - COLORS - INSTRUMENTAL (53 replies, posted in Featured Song of the Month)
I forgot I recorded this ... the instrumental "Blue Bossa", which is kinda like some noodling on guitar, added the lead bits in today with my old Jazz guitar. It's a bit scrappy (my lead is way out of practice!!!), but hopefully sounds ok:

I thought I'd commented on these first ones a while ago, but seems my comments went missing ...
I named it Movin' On.
https://vimeo.com/182792712
I love it - Scott really makes it flow, his playing style reminds me of a guy I used to jam with ... there's a bit that reminds me of the Cat Stevens song (think it was from Peace Train??)
Good to see you joining in - hope to hear more!!
I did this instrumental a while back based on the "House of the rising sun"
Nice, I like the way you've arranged this, and the organ (?) in the background sounds very etheral
Good to see you joining in - hope to hear more!!
Great offerings from Joe, Tony and Richard. Are they your youngsters in the background, Richard?

I've never heard "Black is the colour" before, you did a great version of it!!!
"Going home" was pretty good too, but you've got a good voice and should do more vocal songs!!!!
