That's a very beautiful creation and instrumental!
It's peaceful and a little bit sad (this is what I feel when I'm listening to it) and that makes me feel so good while paying attention to it. Congratulations! :)

Thank you! I am happy you like it!

Very nice composition. I feel like it bring light and joy it is really lovely to hear.

Thank you!

Solid playing my friend! Hey are those your real nails? I struggle to get the kind of volume you are getting.

Yes they are real nails and you are right, sometimes they do break. Then I can't really play, sometimes for a month or so. I can't play without them at all. I used to use a pick for few songs, but lately I hardly ever do it.

OK, sorry, done.

Oh that is really complex and beautiful. When you wrote it, did you write it down, or compose and remember as you played. I'm always intrigued by musicians who just create pieces and hold onto them by sound and muscle memory alone!

Where abouts in the south of England by the way? I'm in Devon... just wondering, as you do :) Really beautiful work. Congratulations on the Curie,

I just remembered it. I always do. Then I have to play it a lot in the first few days not to forget it. Sometimes I record it, but mostly not. But I forget a lot that way, too...
Bottle Street Green was somewhere near Hastings, East Sussex I believe.

I love it! I am a fan of instrumentals (so I can make up my own words/story in my head), and I think you have created a very nice ballad here.

Are you good in making lyrics? I am not really. If you ever have ideas for some of my songs you can send it to me. That would be great!

I think that would be really fun! I am quite busy this week, but I think in future we could do a team-up collaboration!

I have one piece of advice, and this is for those who want to help steem, if you link your steemit article in the description on youtube, it helps balance the google rankings to keep steem high on the list.

Cheers!

Ohhh yes!!! following you

Thank you!

And thanks for resteeming it!

Thanks for having me!

kinda like sounds like jimmy page ;9)

Oh thank you!

Hi Shephard,
Thanks for the nice work, bottle street green.
It was nice watching a calm instrumentalist, even seated legs folded on the ground.

Just keep up loving the guitar because it is a nice musical instrument.

Thanks! This guitar and me have a history. As long as she will have me I will have her. )))

I love it, lol, the simplistic complexity of it is amazing. I like the discordian notes that flow through out the song. Very well done, dadgad is fun to play in, it's so flexible.

Yes I've fallen in love with DADGAD some years ago and I am still not over it. I use it 90 % of the time.

You can just strum away or finger pick and just about get away with anything on the neck. I'm not that good at it, I'm more of a rhythm or background player, it is fun to try though.

Dude, that just reminded me of something that "Jethro Tull"(Ian Anderson) would compose...
NICE!

Some people used to tell me I sound like him, but long time ago. It's the first time in quite some few years for someone to comment on it. Thanks...
Just came back from trekking in Montenegro mountains for almost 2 weeks...
