    Harry,

    Recently yes, but the why is important to me. At the time of posting I had been considering my wanting to learn the classics a type of end gaming. So I could say, Hey I did sompthing great! And now I think I have snuffed out that view and replaced it with another, hey I made my own song, aren't I great! Which is also not helpful.

    I am currently interested in learning the classics again, simply to know them. Just a matter of changing perspective. I try and do that at least two times a day :wink: However lessons are not free, so I am content to just breath into the Shak when I have a moment. If it is learning a classic or just blowing Ro, Or just passing wind through the flute its all good.

    Take care,
    Jordan
    Yours in practice,

              Guitar improvisation 1:

              The idea was to keep it minimal and focus on the notes, harmonics and sounds.

              Played on a spruce top classical guitar with reverb added.

              Note: The Hi fi play is better quality. Might be slower to load.

                  Those are actually just light taps on the bottom of the guitar and bridge. The bridge gives a bass drum like sound when hit correctly.


                  The tonic is actually D. I noticed that when I hit the last note. It kind of ends abruptly, but it is what it is.

                  Crunchy Sweet is a mix of Chinese flute and erhu samples with guitar and other noises.

                      Well I guess I should put up my link. It's not polite to accept a gift and give nothing in return.

                      It's kinda an IDM/Dance/World Fusion kinda thing.

                          Out the Window:

                          The sounds in the background are what can be heard out a window in my apartment.

                            The other mix was kind of low, so I uploaded a new one.

                            I recommend listening to it with headphones.

                            They strange sound is a guitar that I did some stuff to.
