Hey Kenny, thanks man, means a lot coming from you. Rik

Hey Daryl and Mark, thanks so much for listening and liking. Cheers me up no end: ) Glad y’all like my phrasing ! Rik

Hey Andy,Bjorn and noynekker, thanks so much for listening and kind wishes, glad y’all liked it ! Rik

Well done ! That’s an entertaining piece. Nice tones and playing. Rik

Hey Freddy , cool tune,excellent. For me the guitar solo could have been a bit louder to stand out a bit more. Rik

Hey Freddy ,thanks for listening and the kind words, means a lot to me. Rik

Thanks guys, much appriciated! Rik

Hey y'all, had to have some emergency eye operations to prevent me from going blind, which was partially successful. Had to cheer myself up by buying a new guitar. It' s an Ibanez AS53. Thought I'd play my blues away ; ) Rik

Hey Kenny, nice one, that’s some pretty tasty licks/runs there? Makes me want to play! Rik

Hey Old Joad, thanks for listening,glad you like it. Rik

Hey Gary, thanks for listening, 8 tracks on a cassette , lucky this only needed one bounce ? Hey John,thanks, one bounce is nothing, I did some old Pink Floyd stuff that got pretty psychadelic after ten bounces? Rik

Hey Andrew, thanks for listening, I did put some of those early cassette recordings on a cd-rom, talking about nostalgia ? Rik

Hey Bjorn, thanks, soloing with two fingers isn’t that much of a problem, I’ve got used to it. Sometimes I still want to play some fingerpicking. An open tuning helps a lot. I can always play slide if it gets worse ? Fun tune, creole belle, it’s pretty simple to play with the left hand ,the right hand is just a pattern you have to practice over and over and over. ? Rik

Hey grem, thanks for listening. Back then I recorded on two cassette decks, record a track on one deck, plug that deck in to a second one and record another part. Mic was probably the free mic that was included with the cassestte decks, can’t remember ‘twas forty years ago ? Rik

Hey Grem, thanks for listening, it’s all in the tuning. Open c with a capo on the second fret, melody is almost entirely on the first string and a barre here and there plus one finger for the melody.? Rik

Thanks for listening

Stereo,stereo, I started out in glorious mono on a Grundig portable reel to reel?

Hey Mark, thanks for listening. This guitar has a Fishman sonitone, with a battery box and output jack on the lower bout. The controls are hidden inside the soundport on the side of the guitar. The zoom ac-2 is a fantastic little box with lots of room for experimentation. There’s way to much bass drone on this due to the fact that I don’t have good nails anymore because of chemotherapy drugs. I should have played with a thumbpick and dampened the low D. This was just a one take deal to test out Bandlab, if there’s a next time I’ll do better ? Rik

Hey bjorn, nice composition, I hear this as an oboe and harp tune? Rik

Hey amiller, nice tune and playing, very legato with a bit of break up naar the end. excellent tune and (guitar)tone? Rik

Hey John, that’s great stuff, always fun when you find something you did a long time ago, and this is a real nice find.Nice bit of fingerpicking . What do you mean lofi, I used to use two cassette decks and bounced between them and they weren’r even running at the same speed? Rik

Hey John, thanks for listening. I loved Windham Hill, that label got me to change from electric to acoustic guitar ! I’m a fully payed up member of the Michael Hedges fan club ?. Huge loss ! If I had more working fingers I’d try to play more of those Windham Hill guys, I also liked Alex Degrassi ,a lot. Rik

Hey amiller, thanks,glad you enjoyed it ? Rik
