    Nice fun, up-tempo tune; I wouldn't be surprised if the soloist collapsed around one minute in though 😀

    Maybe a few breathing spaces between the phrases might help to make it feel a little more realistic.

    Great work though - I enjoyed listening to that

    Pro performers catch a quick breath at the end of music phrases.

    This composition would be relatively easy to perform. 

    I am a trumpet player.

    Hello Larry, I always admire your music.

    I must admit though, I thought I was listening to a pipe organ.

    It was all very musical, and your skills at midi are to be lauded.

    I am a rank amateur who couldn't find my way around the PRV if my life depended on it, so take my comments for what they're worth.

    I don't completely understand your message.

    I utilize the best sampled instruments available and I have been composing and arranging

    for seventy years.  Your sentence about "listening to a pipe organ" is a puzzle to me. 

    If I were you, I would consider obtaining the best playback equipment that you can afford and

    you will find that things definitely will not sound like a "pipe organ" (unless it it actually a pipe organ),  😃

    "Just A Finger-Pickin' Minute!"

    in Songs

    Posted · Edited by Larry Graham Alexander

    Y'all All,

    This is my "Just A Fingerpickin' Minute!" for two guitars.  If you are a guitarist, you will 

    immediately hear that there is very little actual "fingerpickin' in this composition.  ☺️  

    (So, why did you name it "Just A FINGERPICKIN' Minute", Larry?)  [I don't know.  I'm OLD.  Give me a break!]

    My mixdown is not good.  Less attention to the high frequencies would have been much better.

    Hey, I just hope that I can compose things half as well as you when I am your age!

    Wishing you peace for the New Year.  

    Thank you and a super-cool New Year to you, Mister Zinc.

    Apologies, it wasn't meant as a criticism for what is an excellent piece. Just thought you might have missed it.

    Well done anyway and I hope your health improves in the New Year.

    There is certainly NO apology necessary.  You didn't know that I am an old, sick Dude, nearing the eighty-six year mark .  

    Best Regards,

    Nice composition Larry.  Must have taken quite a bit of work. 

    Only thing I noticed listening on headphones is a short burst of "noise" at around 37 seconds only in the left channel.

    Yes, it is a brief digital overload.  My health is not good and I don't feel well enough to edit it out right now.

    Thanks for your input.

    Very beautiful Larry, i would have liked a pinch more reverb and stereowidth but that is just a personal preference.

    Listen to it with stereo headphones and you will hear stereo separation.

    Many thanks for your comments.

    Take care.
