The Earl of Malmsteen really likes that phrygian mode and is really fast, but somehow lacking in the musicality of many newer artists out there.

Bill as a percussionist, I should have included something by Antione Dufur.  Another of our talented neighbors to the North: www.youtube.com/watch?v=YQlyHbu0zz4

The percussive fingerstyle is popular these days it seems, and traces it's roots to the Gipsy/Flamenco genre. But as you can see.... can be somewhat overdone and repetative (no offense to Antoine, but this example does drag a bit towards the end).

Enjoy;
Doug

Thank you, Doug

I read some of the comments during this very intricate (to me anyway) tune, and one person's comment was: "They say he's still playing that outro to this very day." I got a little chuckle out of that one. smile

I then scrolled down to "Paroxysm", just because of the thumbnail of that guitar/harp combination. Very avante garde, I must say, but again I'm not as versed as I should be about free-style, fingerstyle, innovative guitar, so I'll just say I liked what I heard.

But what's with that scarf on the one you linked me to? I saw no beads of sweat on that baby-face brow. smile

Thanks

Bill

I just listened to your  Tree of a thousand stars

so peaceful and beautiful.  It took me to another mindset.  Thanks - it was awesome.
Like the old phrase a picture is worth a thousand words - in this case the music brought  a thousand images to mind.

well done Arkady

Re: Anyone Do Just Instrumentals?

Because TIG did, and found it beautiful, I went to "Tree....." first, and I agree, Arkady it is peaceful and beautiful. Now I'm going to listen to the rest of what you played.

Now, before I fall all over my feet again like I did with Doug wink , I'll just ask straight out: Do you have any CD's on Amazon or elsewhere?

Thanks

Bill I have never commercially released a CD though I have considered it. I guess I'm lazy and never got round to it.
If you are interested in having a few of the instrumentals on your PC I could always email them to you.
let us know.
all the best
